Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by obitobe: 11:59am On Aug 15, 2023
Guys please I need your suggestions, I just notice that my equaliser for my MPPT charge controller is disable, do.i need to enable It and If yes for how made days?
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by obitobe:
Okay

TechGeek777:
My brother without been told, you will know those are fake panels.

How can 2700w produce less than 1kw instantaneously and you say it's not fake?

Don't you think you should have added your input rather than accusing me of what I failed to do?

Is this how you people accused Nigeria govt for failing to provide job for lazy youths?
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by obitobe: 3:40pm On Jul 24, 2023
I have read through the response and one thing I see you failed to ask was weather condition before arriving that the panels are fake. I feel an input voltage of 72v and charge current of 35A is good for a flooded lead acid battery. Knowing well that the battery the poster mention requires 12A normal charging current, so getting 35A should be able to charge the batteries very well. Unless he is drawing more than required.

TechGeek777:
If the watts stated here is per hour, the panels are definitely fake.

If it's comulative, the batteries should be checked.

In all contact your installer.
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by obitobe: 10:30pm On Jul 22, 2023
Can this work for stand-alone inverters or strictly hybrid inverters

Penuelseun:
When battery is full, the charge controller reduces charge current while maintaining battery voltage, if load is connected, the load will be powered entirely by solar until load demand is greater than what solar can produce then battery supplies energy again.
It is an entirely different case if mains power is present as your inverter will change power source to mains thereby ignoring solar unless it is user editable to prioritize solar over mains power

Vmp=40.80v

Imp= 13.36A

FEGEITOK:
There is another issue to address.

I recently bought Jinko 545 watts panels.

The datasheet states those values for two states STC (Standard Test Conditions) and NOCT (Normal Operating Cell Temperature) which of those values should he use?
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by obitobe: 8:43pm On Jul 19, 2023
using this link https://footprinthero.com/solar-panel-series-and-parallel-calculator to do the calculation

Bgee77:
VMPis 41.62
IMP is 12.89
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by obitobe: 9:54pm On Jul 18, 2023
What is the Vmp and the Imp of the panel?

Bgee77:
Can I arrange 12pcs of 540w solar panels on Felicity charge controller 120A by 195v

wouldn't the price of materials changed and will N15.2 million estimate as quoted finish this building
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by obitobe: 9:12pm On Jun 01, 2023
please how did you arrive at this

FEGEITOK:
This might help.

Until someone comes up with a better idea

It maybe possible to add 9 panels and use the same charge controller unless you decide to go full serial i.e., all panels wired in series or each spec wired in series then all wired in parallel
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by obitobe: 5:07pm On Jun 01, 2023
[/b]Please I need help before things go wrong.[b]

I have a Mppt charger controller of 60A with a Max input voltage of 145V from the panel. Can I connect 9 panels of 300w (Vmp=32.2, I= 9.31A)each to it without having any issues?

My installer wants me to buy additional charge controller

the one on the right is the one leaking
from your gauge it shows that the acid water level is okay. it could be as a result of acid water was over gauged, it is dripping to get to level and it will stop.

Good afternoon house

I need advice on this issue please

I recently got a pure sine wave inverter 2.5KVA with 2 220ah Tubular Batteries

When fully charged it displays on the inverter 27.7v, but immediately i start using it, it drops to 25.4v and within 30mins, it drops to 24.3v then to 24.1v within an hour. Now, it lasts for 24hours on same load which is, 2,55w standing fans, 90w tv and lightnings 30w

My installer is saying there's nothing wrong with it as long as it doesn't beep low battery, also i noticed that water drips out from one of the batteries

I want to know why the voltage drops so low on less than 300watts
The distill water drop may be as a result of over guaging of battery water. When it is charging, it bubbles inside because of gas escape this might result to the water drop but after a while it will stop when it has gotten to the right level.

But I need to get the explanation of the voltage drop after it is fully charged and in use.

earthrealm:
the load is too much for the batteries. is this load on 247?
what is your average daily harvest from the panels is it upto 7kwh?

unless you reduce your load...changing to 48v setup will not do any magic.batteries will still run down
[/b]No this load is not on 24/7, during the day I use about 600w but in the evening it's about 200w and at bedtime it is lesser.[b]

Try to go for LED, 5w-10w, Consumption is low and kinda of shines brighter, go for quality products, inferior ones don't last

[/i] thank you very much I will check out the LED lights[i]


hmmm, how many at once, Go for DC ceiling fans(Highest speed consumes less than 30w unlike AC ceiling fans that gulps up 120W)
Price range goes for like 30k

[/i]yeah I had it in mind to get this DC ceiling fan but wasn't sure of the quality ones.I only on 2 to 3 at once[i]

Google the model and check, My Tv consumes 120w but with energy saving features(Max setting-20w, Meduim setting-40w, Minimum-60W)
Not so sure of the numbers again but you can see the difference. So in the morning before sun comes out and night, my TV is on Max energy setting. During the day or sunny period, it can be in minimum or OFF.
[/i] I have a 40"plasma TV and a 32" LED TV[i]


For clarity, you power deep freezer and fridge at same time for this duration?

what is the power consumption of the Freezer?[/i] 115W[i]

what is the power consumption of the Fridge ?[/i]110w[i]

The timing is ok(9am-3pm)

What make is your 300w panel? low grade panels dont produce what their rating or nameplate says [/i] 5 Canadian solar panels and 1 Felicity solar panel[i]

Is there any other significant load that you power with the inverter?
[/i]One Rechargeable fan, 2 decoders. So when I calculated my total wattage in my house from this appliances it came to a total of 1113w, but I have never gone above 40% of my load[i]

1. What sought of light bulbs do you use?
LED, incandescent or spiral energy saving bulbs- I use 14 spiral energy saving bulb of 10w each

2. Do you use ceiling fan? if yes, How many and what type? Yes i do use Ceiling fan, and its 5ceiling fan but not at once

3. Does your Television have energy saving feature? I am not sure

4. Do you power your fridge or freezer with the inverter? if yes, when is the runtime? what is the duration? do you power the fridge/freezer after 4pm on inverter yes i used both inverter deep freezer and Fridge. it runs from 9am-3pm

Peterlove11:
If you can afford 48v system, go for it. You only need to change the inverter, rearrange the batteries to 48v. Then you can add 2 or 3 more panels. Am sure with this, you will rarely have a need for generator
Thanks a lot for your response but i need to retain the current system, as it is just 6months old. That is why i am asking for any other improvement that could be done to get rid of the generator usage.
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by obitobe: 5:53pm On May 13, 2023
Please I need advise, I have a 24 volt system set up consisting of 300w panels(6), a 2.5kVa 24V afripower inverter, felicity MPPT charge control(60A) and 4 tubular haus strom batteries, but i still have to charge the batteries with generator from 7pm -10pm. How do I improve the system in such a way i stop running the generator.

PS my total watt in my apartment is 1113w


please i need this improvement advise.

Mothers in the house please I need advice, my wife is pregnant,this is just the first trimester and she throws up at any food she eats and even the bathroom she love now makes her throw up. While brushing she throws up, I need help or advice on how we can reduce this throwing up.

I will be patiently waiting.

N.B: i have asked this question in the NEW BORN BABIES! Are U A New Mum? Then Lets Discuss Babies Here!!!!! forum but i was directed here by a fellow member.

Giddyperson:
That's normal first trimester for you, you just have to endure it, hopefully it would go away after the first trimester. Ask her to join the pregnancy thread and sign up with her team. Maybe meeting other people in her condition would help. You can also go and ask your question there, they would be happy to help.

So this is what i am trying to avoid, please is there anyone out there that could be of guide i will really appreciate it.
