ask4bk: The panels are even too much. Every day before 10:30am battery is fully charged from what was used at night. Even yesterday when there was no strong sun but cloud, it was giving 2.4kwh at 9am
I can attest to this, Valto is so different, hardly will you get people do business with open mind. He is always ready to answer your questions even if it sounds dumb. With him, there are no stupid questions, if it were to be some other persons they will block you or not respond at all.
SourYoghurt: I can't agree less. Bought from him, even paid in installments, he still answer my dumb question even to this day.
Does that panel generation charge your battery fully every day. Even in bad weather do it get to 100% or what range does it get to.
ask4bk: I use same consumption as you, yet I use 14kwh lithium battery and 4400w solar panels, and 5kva inverter. Na your money go determine wetin you go use
please if money is not your problem then go for Pylontech and leave Felicity alone. Pylontech is more quality than felicity in terms of their cells.
Dageek: Hello great people, I have been following this thread for a while, took my time to read through existing pages and was able to extract some information, but I’m really locked in between choosing battery.
Based on my power requirements, I would need at least 10kwh battery, this means the pylontech battery of that capacity will cost 4 million plus while felicity 15kwh (13kwh real capacity) will cost more less
This is not my first solar system, I have a 3.5kva 24v system with 2 flooded batteries and 8 x 300w Siemens panels, my plan is to upgrade to a bigger system using Deye 6kw from odyssey, 12 x 555w jinko panels from Fouani , Felicity battery from Naira lander here or Pylontech from Fouani
I would like to seek advise from people who have already used or installed either the Pylontech or felicity of that capacity, which one to choose considering durability, performance and ease of use.
Furthermore, I don’t want to use custom coupled battery because most of these batteries don’t offer communication port which is essential for the system I’m trying to build
Gshems: The 320 watt is KBC . The 580 I am planning on getting is jinko 580
Please for the love of your peace of mind, get rid of that KBC panel, that might be a 100w panel and the labelling is so wrong, full of mistakes. please just get the original jinko panels from recognised dealers.
ask4bk: Bro, I really love that you can remotely see your setup and consumption online. I've been watching your dashboard since yesterday like I de watch big brother Nigeria.
I'm curious to know... What's the lithium battery size you are using now? What's the total amount of solar panels you are using and brand? I'm surprised that at early morning with cloudy weather you already getting 3.6kwh from panels. What is giving out this info we see on your dashboard? The inverter? Or something else you added to your installation? What brand? Connected to Internet?
Sorry, too much questions. Pls help me answer the ones you can. Thanks bro
Drgreatone: Is the 300-700w consumption per hour or throughout the day? For the size of ur battery, I'd suggest minimum of 5000w of panels (Most tier 1 panels do x2 of their ratings averagely, can do more longer sun exposure) NB: Ur ivem is rated for max 6000w panels and a VOC of 450v i think. 9pcs of 560w panels wud already be close to the voc
The 300w-700W is consumed between 8am- 4pm and from then it is around 150w -200w till the next dy 8am.
Please just a quick question, I just got a 14.336kwh lithium battery and I want to know will my 3.6kwp panel charge the battery full. If not, please can someone help with how many 560w (voc=50.67 Isc= 14.13 Vmp=41.95 Imp=13.35) half cut panels that might require to charge this battery full daily. Please note that I run a load of 300-700w during the day depending on the weather. Also I use a Felicity IVEM 5KVA inverter and also I really want to do away with running my generator.
What make and wattage of panels are you using please
Ijeoma660: This week we got news that we have finally been dumped on Bandit A.
I immediately removed some of the few things still left og EKEDC to inverter.
1. Electric boiler - moved 2. Microwave - moved 3. Outdoor security lights - Pending when electrician comes 4. Washing machine - partially. I use extension box.
Observation. -So far so good, its going well. - I recorded harvest peak at 3.3kW for the first time too. - My solar panels are split in two separate locations. The ground mounted has started seeing better radiation.
Connect the panels in series but before it is connected to the inverter, the installer should check the final voltage. what you should be getting is meant to be around 400v.
Why don't you go 48v and get the 5kva for future proof.
freeAgent99: A good evening to you all, please I need your professional advice in buying a transformerless inverter (24v 3.5kva or 5kva) as I want to go lithium. Something reasonably priced, please. You may even link me up with a reputable seller as well, please. I'm in Abuja. Thank you all.
Please what brand of panels are you using and is this a felicity IVEM
Ijeoma660: I have added another 5kwh to my setup to enable ne have 1 day autonomy. I alao have a timer switch for my freezer. Previously when I had only 5kwh battery installed It switches on the freezer by
On 8.30am and Off 5.30pm
Based on this arrangement by morning my battery is about 35% (5kwh)
But after adding another 5kWh making a total of 10kWh battery. I did a calculation and arrived at the on/off times for the freezer
On 6am and Off 11pm
By morning my battery's percentage is at +/- 60% (10kWh)
If it happens to be a cloudy weather I cam go on without the need for grid dependency.
This way i don't worry anyone with switching off the lights when not in use etc...
Cost of equipment so far Inverter 423k LFPB 5kWh 1.350m LFPB 5kWh 1.071m PV array 18nos x 300Wp 480k. (warehouse clearance sale) Timer switch 12k WiFi module for online control and monitor 51k

Its amazing I have bo idea whether there is NEPA light or not.
easyyoke: Hello Guys, please I asked earlier if anybody knows any MPPT charge controller that can be controlled remotely from another location asides from Victron. I did not get an answer. Anybody with an answer should kindly help my life

I am thinking of getting the felicity IVEM 5048, but i just want to be very sure i am not making any mistake buying this inverter. Can anyone who has used this particular brand of inverter or currently using it, tell how durable and rugged this inverter is, coughing out the money and entering one chance will be very painful.
please what could be the issue, my inverter will be showing 24.0v on the display and within less than 2 mins it will jump to 22.3v and the alarm started showing low battery.
Trippledots: Mine has same issue as. Initially my batteries were balanced but after some months I noticed significant drift. Mixed up the batteries but same thing.
I fear I may have broken the equalizer during reconnection or I need to reset the equalizer.
Either way, my schedule hasn't allowed me to work on the bank again.
Edrizz: With the individual battery voltage u shared, nothing is actually wrong with ur system, u only need to add/install a battery equaliser/balancer to ur system n everything will be fine. Ur 48volt inverter will continue to run provided that the battery voltage is still above 10.5v per piece, once the inverter detects a voltage drop of below 10.50v it would off itself... ur installer ought to have equalised the battery before installing them though
Thank you for your response, i have battery equalizer installed to the batteries and also the system is a 24 voltage system. I thought my batteries were already getting weak.
Please i need expert knowledge here, i have four 220ah tubular battery, i just noticed that when the battery is fully charge and i start using it for the night, @136w(5pm-10pm) and 98w ( 10pm -7am). i noticed that the battery will be 24.2v @2-3am then between 3-4am the battery voltage drops to 23.4v and this will get me to the morning. Recently i had to set the battery SOC from 50% to 70% because at 50% the battery goes off at 5-5:30am but at 70% it takes me till the morning. What could be causing the sharp drop in voltage.
With a battery monitor, i am getting this readings in the morning Batt 1: 11.95v Batt 2: 10.99v batt 3: 10.95v Batt 4: 11.94v
FRESHTWANYE: Please professional help me I just install 2.4kw pure sinewave mercury hybrid inverter using it with dstv xtraview decoder, the primary decoder working perfectly but the secondary decoder didn't work and loss connection with the primary decoder heart beat. But using it with grid or generator works perfectly for both decoder but when switch to inverter it loss connection, please help me
some mercury 2.4kva inverter are modified sine wave and not pures sine wave, so that could be what might be affection the other decoder
abbeymighty: good day All, Please i need a review on Ipower XMAX 3KVA inverter, also i need a recommendation for a reliable and good 24v 3kva or above hybrid inverter
I will advise you to leave power xmax alone, it's relatively new in the market and zinox has not really gotten a hand of it, please go for any other ipower brand.
Sapiosexuality: I've been seeing some very high prices here and it made me take it out of my order of things. For this 2.5 KVA 24v hybrid system, do I still need my old MPPT charge controller or it's inbuilt into the inverter? Thanks.
please use your old charge controller and leave out the in-bult charge controller
My question is whenever I try charging with Nepa light o shows it fully charged within few minutes but when it’s on resting stage meaning when it not connect to any form of charge and I check the battery I get 77% even while on solar it shows it fully charged but at the end of the day I see 75% please how can I get it charged to 100% or should I just ignore the fact that it say fully charged and continue charging please any help would be appreciated. Thank you 🙏🏾
please answer this questions
1. what is the battery voltage when is shows 100% 2. what is the Voc of your Charge controller. 3. how was the panels connected, in series, parallel or mixed. 4. what is the panel Voc.
Dam5reey: You are using a good Batteriy chemistry that allows charging up to 0.5C continuously. 60A on a 173AH batteries is 60/173C that is 0.35C.. So you are fine.
Also note, since the charge controller is limited to 60A If you have inverte powered on, most people tend to use their Fridge during peak periods, so, in essence, your 60A is reduced to about 40A (or less depending on load), left to charge the batteries, so Not all 60A will charge the batteries except you always shut down inverter to charge which may not be the case.
Expect the MPPT charge controller is bad it will always limit the current to what is required to charge the batteries when you turn the inverter off.
Allem: Happy Sunday all. Pls can I connect 2 550w panel in parallel to a 12v 173ah system with a 60a PowMr cc. Hope it will not fry the cc? What exactly will happen Rain is fast approaching and I don't want to survive like last year.
Please I need this information, the VOC for the charge controller, the PV operating voltage for the charge controller, the Vmp for the panels and the Imp for the panels.
