How much should i budget for conncetion that will power a laptop, two rechargeable fans, phones and minor accessories.
A budget of ₦300-350 should get you something tangible.

Your best is to get solar generator. You have the luxury of moving it around easily.
If you want something stationery then regular battery is your guy.

Happy new month.
We have started the month in good faith.
Yesterday's job was tedious, but we are grateful.

So along the line of duty call, I was opportune to meet Alhaji yewa from Sokoto. Man was very courageous considering the complexity of the job, even do I was stressed while executing the task. I was marveled by his courage.

We where faces with relocation of 6 Pcs of 250w solar panels from the main building (storey building), then relocated it to the varanda behind the house.

The job could not be finished yesterday because of some issues (wire that was bought was 10mm but the seller supplied 6mm) I wonder why some people are dubious.

Been a consultant/ 3rd part to the job, when I made my observations, chairman no gree sad sad.
I had to calm down and started explain the tricks wire sellers used in selling wire.


He called the supplier and she pretended not to know, but said we can return it and ask for refund grin grin grin grin grin.
A whole 200k + for 50yrds of 10mm undecided undecided

Good day sir happy Sunday..can I use my bed size fridge with a sachet 1500 watts inverter.it will be only in the afternoon when the sun is out ...or my 8kg washing machine..


Lastly can you help with the things I needed for a 180 litters inverter freezer.,I will love to set an inverter for only the freezer that will be able to work minimum of 17 hours per day
That's inverter is not advisable to be used for a fridge..
However since you want to try it on it, I don't think it will successfully power the fridge.

Nteogwuija:
Bosses in the house, please I have an issue. I connected my 105w freezer to my 1050v inverter, and I got a message saying "short circuit, please check wiring". Please, what could be the cause of this?

Other appliances like my TV, laptop, lights work normal. The message only shows when I plug the freezer, and then the inverter would go off. If it were an overload issue, it would have shown the overload warning message. This is where I'm getting confused.


Thanks for all your contributions in advance.
Probably there is a short circuit in the fridge.
Does the fridge works well on nepa?


If it works well, then know that the inverter can't withstand the starting surge of the fridge

For this panel matter, make we talk true it seem like Alaba come dey cost for original capacity.

Men I installed some fairly used today, and it was just too clean to be fairly used.

Good day house,

I've been following this thread for a while, Please I need an affordable and trusted solar installer somewhere around Ayobo, Alimosho, Lagos.

My family want to instal a solar inverter system, We already purchased the major components (Solar panels, battery and inverter already)
.

Am not around any of those places.
But if you need to get the job done you can hit me up, that is if you have not gotten anybody yet

Good morning fellow enthusiasts,

I'm curious if anyone has experience with back feeding excess PV harvest into their grid supply. My inverter has this feature, which allows me to do so. I'm wondering if it's possible for my prepaid meter to roll backwards, enabling me to buy back some units from the grid.

I appreciate your prompt response and wish you all a fantastic week ahead.

Best regards,
Our prepaid meter doesn't support it.

Besides which sub station to you want to send it to?

Your best bet is to sell the electricity to your neighbours.
It will require 2 Meters, the consumer and your monitoring system.

experienced person no go get issue with that. Also, even non-experienced person shouldn't have much issues with that.


That's hardly an issue. Worse case scenerio, you place something on top to cover it BUT I have never done such becase the coating is more than enough
This are the challenges I have witnessed

@bassdow has a point about using aluminium cables. But the disadvantage is that those cables easily break when you want to dress them(you go dey Do vigilantes work.

Aside that, those cable coating are prone to wear because of temperature and the environment it's been used.
It's not a good idea for aluminium or zinc roofing.

In summary, don't take my opinion for it. Na work I learn, what do I really know grin grin grin

Question: 2. Is it advisable to use an hybrid inverter in terms of durability, efficiency and stability, if yes, what brand?

Answer: I have always adviced against Hybrid inverter systems and have on several occassion, given plethrea of reasons as backing. I might not be willing to wa ste space and time repeating myself yet again BUT just understand that whoever made the parable that "You shouldn't Put All Your Eggs in One Basket" , is more than Correct.

Even investors, spread their risks.

Naturally, the Fan's charging system already struggles to charge it's followCome battery of low amperage. To add battery of higher amperage na extra wahala, except dem go use external charger.

Also those fans don't come with Low Voltage cutOff hence that one go follow dey kill the batteries fast join

Hello house.. I trust we are all doing good and I must salute every solar energy professional and users in this forum for their contributions. I've learnt a lot being here.

Please I would like to ask if anyone knows where I can get very durable batteries for rechargeable fans. I need a 12v7.5A, 6V4.5A. this is very urgent.

Either ready made or DIY, as long as it'll be durable. Thank you all for your contributions.
Go and buy keke napep batteries.
They will serve better.
Those battery you are looking for doesn't worth the price they are call.

The only disadvantage is some times, the fan may not cover well

Good Day my bosses.
What is the best series or parallel combination for my pv.
I have 2 ploy 300w panels.
2 mono 280w panels.
1 300w mono panel.
Will be adding 4 300w mono panels in a couple of days.
Is the 3s3p or all parallel combo best for me.
Thanks.
You for allow your installer think for you oh.


Let me say this here, people that have browser internet and read all manner then to spend money more than people that agree they have less knowledge.

Like if you consult someone, you should give the person the allowance to work with his experience.
Clearly state your concerns and leave the remaining for the person

So I am trying to update this thread with images and nairaland is blocking it undecided.

No problem.
So far work has been going fine in Warri even though am away (am presently in Lagos State).

Shout out to blessed and emeretus, they have been able to attend to urgent jobs/ installation that needed my presence.

Meanwhile, in one of the jobs where we where contracted to just install the solar panels, emeretus was like oga, you suppose come site make you come motivate us oh grin grin grin.

But in all, we have collectively installed 5000wp for just this month.
About 3000wp(350 *6 & 300*3) in Warri and 2000wp (265w* 4 and 235*4) in Lagos.

Shout out also to all the nairalands whey dey give us food smiley.

I will still try to upload images I no gree for Seun.

See people no mind carry alabaro carry the market comot road.

As long as we can save money.

I think indrive has that freight option. Look for How to capitalise on it.

You will Make more money

See bolt, indrive etc why una no dey near alaba grin.

Get a bus that can carry load, state it that you do delivery liase with people in the market, then run delivery within Lagos.

I went to Alaba order ride nobody answered me.


Las Las I paid 35k from Alaba to lekki.
The second time I paid 30k and it was still a shared ride

All I need is wire guage size sir. Pictures bawo😄. If you want to carry 80amp from Charge controller to 12v system Battery. How many mm wire will sufficiently carry 80A. Battery distance to controller is less than 1yard. Thats what I am asking
25mm+

Thanks. My fear is its dangerously close to the VOC. Also what wire guage wud u advice?
39.8 * 3 = roughly 120v.
39.8 *2 = 80v roughly.

Running 4s is a waste of one panel to me from experience.
So choose your fate accordingly angry

If you are running high voltage, your wire gauge becomes smaller. For this application 6mm is okay.

However if you will be upgrading in the future, you might have to factor in cost of wires

My ogas in the house, pls i need ur help? Got a must 5kva 48v hybrid inverter with mppt volt range of 60 to 130vdc and VOC of 145vdc. I have 8 panels of 300w with ffl specs of Vmp 32.7, Voc 39.3, Imp 9.18 and Isc 9.65. What's best way to connect it. Distance from roof to charger is about 15m. Installer recommends 2 strings of 4 panels in series then parallel both strings. Also wud a 6mm solar cable suffice or its too small? Thanks for ur help.
2s4p considering you have just 8

If adding an extra panel is not going to be an issue,
3s3p
