earthrealm:I guess u didn't get me right. The 60amps u saw me talk abt is my harvest for a whole day. |

Dreamflyin:Something must certainly be wrong with ur set up. In as much as pwm is not effective as mppt, its still not doing bad on a small set up. Using my self as an example, 4 of my 150watts panel(600watts) are connected to my 30amp charge controller, and the minimum I get on a rainy or cloudy day is 35amps. This days that we no more experience rain in the middle belt area of nigeria, I harvest up to 60 amps. I formally had the same complaints u're giving currently but luckily I ran into a well experienced installer who discovered that my wires were seriously undersized. After installing the right wires I recorded a great improvement in my harvest. Contact an installer to have a critical look at ur set up and I believe u will be fine. 1 Like |

efuro:My Broda, I envy you. Mppt has always been on my mind, but its just that I have some other projects on ground that is eating up my money. Pls can u send me a chat via my email address so we can talk more privately? obinnaokechukwu7@gmail.com. |

efuro:Congrats on ur newly purchased mppt 60 cc. How has the performance been so far? |

efuro:I'll advice u separate those batteries, test them individually with ur digital metre to find out which of the battery is lagging. It will help protect other from running down over time. 1 Like |

efuro:Is ur set up a 24v set up? If yes, how did u connect those 4 batteries without having to deal with the batteries not being unequally charged? |

earthrealm:@Earthrealm, presently I have 6 pieces of 150 watts panel which is 900watts in total. So far my panels are not doing bad at all. I can power my 192 litre nexus double door fridge which outputs 110 watts & also my LG washing machine when the sun is at its peak. My major challenge now is how I can get a longer back up time. That was my reason for asking about connecting 4 batteries to my 24v set up. Talking abt my charge controller, for now i use a combination of two charge controllers 20ah & 30ah cc, that is a total of 50ah cc. Both of them are pwm, though i'm optimistic of upgrading to an mppt some day. Thanks for ur assistance. I sincerely do appreciate. |

DMerciful:My 1.4va Mpower inverter is 2years and 3 months old with the same Mpower batteries 200ah*2 agm that came with it as at the time of purchase. So far my inverter has been super intelligent and by God's mercy I have not worked on it ever since I bought it. My next plan now is adding two more batteries to my already existing system so as to enjoy a longer back up time. Or betterstill, if I am to get four new batteries and dispose this present set of batteries I have, what will be the best way to connect these 4 new batteries to my 1.4va 24v system to avoid unequal charging over a long period of time? Pls advice from this wonderful forum will be highly appreciated. |

bigrovar:Same with me, the max my inverter can charge my battery is at 28.5v. Using ur charge controller as ur primary battery charger what the max voltage u see? I'm asking cus mine inverter is by brand Mpower 1.4va. |

Gud day @ everyone in the house. I have 2*200ah battery on a 24v set up 1.4va inverter, which I have used for over 2years now. I'm planning on adding 2 more 200ah battery so that I can have a longer back up time. The present batteries are not doing bad presently but I'm scared of adding 2 more batteries to avoid one battery bank acting as a load on the other. How can I achieve this dream of having a longer back up time without having more problems at the end of the day? Ur suggestions are highly welcome. |

GeorgeD1:George D, u inspired me on this journey of renewable energy. When I see the benefits I've got thru my little set up since june 2014 , it motivates me to keep investing more on renewable energy. With my 1.4kva inverter, 2*200ah batteries connected in series 24v, 6 pieces of 150 watts panel(900watts), and my little pwm 30ah and 20ah charge controller all working at the same time, I can power my frigde(110watts) for at least 4 hours on a cloudy day and 6 hours on a sunny day. Also my appreciation goes to Richmond, Abunafiu, Dunka,Chris,Kiekie,Saipro,Earthrealm,Cogumo,Bigrover,and many others which I can't mention. U guys are doing a great job here. May God almighty keep blessing u all beyond measures. 4 Likes |

DMerciful:I've always had an mppt on my mind... I started using solar panels just four months ago and my batteries clocked 2 years plus as at June this year. So gradually am stepping up. I'll definitely give my testimony when my mppt finally arrives. But 1st I'm trusting God that my next upgrade will be getting a 3.5kva inverter. I only turn on my generator when I want to pump water to my overhead tank. Renewable Energy is a sure way of investing and cutting cost on power generation. A big thanks to u guys for always being a source of inspiration to me and many other silent readers. 1 Like |

abunafiu:Its been gud Sir. A big kudos to u guys who run on bigger set ups. I will be there some day. |

That's my set up...with my 150*6=900 watts at 24v in panel I can power my fridge 110 watts and a ceiling fan and also a 45 Watts plasma TV. In as much as I can't afford the high cost of getting an mppt, I must say that my pwm charge controllers are not doing bad at all. No matter how cloudy the day might be I can always power my frigde within a minimum of 4 hours everyday,but when we have a sunny day I can power my frigde up to 6 hours from 11am to 5pm.

Trippledots:I think u're correct. Most of us in the middle belt area enjoy good sunshine everyday and my pwm 30amp charge controller is doing quite well. Pix of my set up may be posted later. 1 Like |
