tetralogyfallot:
u need them? How many do u want?

How much does it cost

tetralogyfallot:
the cells or the liitokala capacity tester.

The tester

jonescosmos:
LoRA WAN, GPRS& GPS Meters. They have a central Dashboard Portal where you can Manage Settings, Accounts and other things. Clients can download Apps to see their data and etc

This will be too expensive.

tetralogyfallot:
Capacity test

Do you sell this as well

tetralogyfallot:

FRESHTWANYE:

But using it with grid or generator works perfectly for both decoder but when switch to inverter it loss connection, please help me

Post picture of the Inverter

tetralogyfallot:
yes, I used savaged mtn lumos samsung 18650 cells. Its a 24v system, 7s configuration to be precise.

How many years has this been running

tetralogyfallot:
Today marks 2 years of my going off grid with my DIY 11kwh lithium ion built battery bank! This guy powers my 2 airconditioners, electric cooker, 2 freezers n 1 fridge, water pumping machine sumo, pressing iron, microwave, tvs, laptops, water heater, and every other electric gadget u can think of. The sun has been paying the bills.

Are this 18650 batteries?
How many volts
24v?

AdexAyanfe:
Please what's wrong with my setup. I've presently assembled 3S3P li-ion battery( while waiting for more batteries) with 3S 40A bms, with the cell all balanced. But anytime its fully charged to 12.6v (I'm only charging solar for now), the voltage then start fluctuating at 13.8v, 13.9v, 14.1v.
But when I checked the actual battery voltage (bypassing the bms) I noticed charging has been cut off and it was around 12.55v then.

But anytime it starts fluctuating due to charging disconnect, once I put a reasonable load on it, it adjust itself and displays 12.6v.

Please what could be the issue, I've tested 2 3S 40A bms, it's the same.

Could it be my solar charge controller

@dollarnaira @penuelseun @officialfestus @everyone

Definitely it's a charge controller issue.

I have an issue like this on ground.
I am thinking of a way out( I think it happens mostly on this pwm controller reason is you can't set it) if you find solutions let us know

noel76:
Ok im in porthacourt, i called a technician to check it, he said the problem is from the driver card, which is not readily available now.

Upload a full picture of the board if you still have it

No be lie

nnadychuks:
Please and please:
Avoid solar generators at all cost. I mean a solar component that has both inverter and controller affixed in one board is total rubbish.

Why I’m saying this…

My qasa solar generator just explode on its own. It let off smoke 💨 and then boom 💥
Thank God the incident happened while I was at home, otherwise “Na only God know”

Now I’m looking to purchase an inverter+ controller (1500w -2400) if anyone has these items, used or new please quote me

If you decide to buy solar generators, buy made in Nigeria e get why

emyfine08:
How can someone get this MOV

It's something that is sold in the market.

I can offer it at a lower price if you will be Interested

bbally:
Please, the item in blue color on the panel what is it called and what is it functions?

It's called a mov
Metallic oxide variaristor

So research has it that MOV can be used to protect lightening strike...

And I have been wondering after I fixed this felicity surge protector device.

noel76:
This is the only fuse in the unit and they are intact, the unit turns on and trips off immediately

Don't stress yourself it's a board issue.

If the fuse where bad, it won't even come up.

Where are you located?

HeavenlyBang:
This is for just a fridge?

Yeah and other appliances
DC fan,a 45" tv and light

Location: Alegbo

Small set up for a moderate load.

The client wanted a fridge running on it just in the afternoon( I have included the name plate of the fridge)
The fridge is supposed to run 5hrs daily
We finally ended up going or a 1.5kva inverter 12v, 1pcs tubular battery and 3pcs 300w solar panel.

jonescosmos:
I honestly missed understood the slang, poor me

You have been inducted

Dam5reey1:
Boss, you don go reply like AI.

a Plug in Naija and context of the question mean connect or Source,better still where he can get quality Canadian solar panel.

.
No be everybody be area

brightk:
U never chi chomtin

.
Na install I go install.

Is funny how Na when problem dey them dey reach me out.

I will not like to skip the dairy to current even, but am on my way to solving one currently at express junction udu.

I will tag it when it's due

Our saving grace was the features of inverter AC if not them go call us quacks not knowing I just only handled the installation of the job.

Inverter AC actually don't have surges and they reduce their power consumption when it gets to a certain temperature.

Lol.

I have always pray not to be in such situations after I visited the army estate in warri to troubleshoot a battery failure ( the batteries were always over charging).

I was told that it was a 24v system not knowing it was a 48v system and this guy's connected 2 batteries in it because they didn't have a bypass system.

I was carried away with trying to figure out why it doesn't stop while charging (I do fix inverters low-key) so I was just thinking..

Low and behold, Na so another installer came and started troubleshooting then we found out it was 48v

I felt very stupid I was like I need to start paying less attention to what these people say. I wasn't paid a dime even though I told him about my callout fees but I wasn't bothered because I learnt a very big lesson.

mctfopt:
See what I'll suggest, this recommendation is coming on the heels of what I've experienced these past two years. I noticed the cheapo solar panels (Africell, Sunfit, Sunshine et al) may be cheap to get. But it comes at a cost some users may experience and not see. I noticed that after two or three years, some of the busbars (those silver coloured lines) that link the individual solar panels starts to burn. You may not see this as panels are probably on the roof, but you will notice the reduced production.

So in summary, instead of buying 1000w of Africell PV, you are better off buying 550w of Jinko, Original Canadian solar (had to put original as the fake are a dime a dozen), JA Solar, Yingli, etc.

In RE world, you usually get WHAT YOU PAY FOR. Pay for premium to avoid premium tears.

Instead of buying new panels most especially my brother own, you are 💯 better of with fairly used I always advise people to buy new if they can afford Jinko,sunova etc

If you are a seasoned installer, you can confirm that the frame of Most new Solar panel in Nigeria is fragile and easily detach.

This is enough proof that they are low quality, but una no dey hear.

This was installed after a friend of mine ( he studied electrical/electronics, but was more grounded in welding and fabrication) under quoted for a job and we had to start doing damage control.

The system was supposed to provide power for a 1.5hp inverter AC during the day and provide backup for other light appliances.

Considering that there was fire on the mountain, that was how we started trying to cut down cost, we priced and priced to the extent that I had to leave him at the shop there make he come out of the situation first 😂😂😂.

Finally we ended up doing

9pcs of 250w solar panels (though they claim the panel is 320w)
4pcs of gel batteries
5kva hybrid inverter (high pv).

On this day we went out for maintenance, I got a call from @brightk that there was a need to reconfigure some panels, this was after we had Already swapped the inverter with another one from the previous betshop we visited.

We installed the inverter and inverter no gree on🥹...
Ah

This is something that was working in the previous shop.
We started thinking and thinking why the gennex inverter was not working, we had 0 idea.

However, In the earlier month at the other betshop, we had a discussion/argument with the cashier there on how long the inverter takes to switch off.

This was how we jump and pass 😂.
You know situation where you touch something and it spoils, Na so the client go disturb you not knowing there was an impending doom

18th April 2024
This is the preview after the job has been done.
Shout out to @brightk
