Bàbá don upgrade.

Just thinking.
If I drop my 24/100 (3 months in use now) for you, collect that 24/200 and add shinkini money to am. After all na the same supplier assemble am.

Just thinking ni o, not even decided on it yet (In Mr Macaroni's voice)

Bros what will I be using the 24/100 for na . I don hang boot on battery bank after the one I have just done o, fingers crossed on its performance. I hope it delivers like the previous one I had.

Someone expressed interest in my current 200AH LFP bank some time ago but I can't seem to find the post. It should be available from next week for 400k pere, you can reach me on whatsApp.
Current status:

1. 16 by 105 cells

2. It's deepest discharge I have done is 170AH

3. Its currently at about 150cycles or less. From the picture you will see 85cycles but I installed the BMV about 3months of usage.

4. Procured early this year, around Feb/march.

5. It has a reset button incase you do a deep discharge and trip the BMS but that button no longer works. So if your BMS trips, you will need to wake it up by charging from utility source the Daly BMS does not wake up by solar charging in hybrid systems unless you are using an external CC

I have attached some pictures for your reference

Sold

SoftHeart:
Thanks for your prompt response Sir.

Yes, the critical devices are the laptops, printer, TVs and bulbs. We can use generator for the others.

So with that, do you think the recommended system is ok?

Just curious, at the bolded, do you mean the budget be 6 or 7 digits?
Because the quotes I'm getting is already of 6 digits...

That was typo I meant 7digits but a lot have been said already about how you can reduce the cost by reducing your load

LFP bank now available for pickup, reach me if interested.

SoftHeart:
Thanks for your response.
I will ask him about the capacity of the panels.

The house is 4 bedrooms with home office, we have the following (possible) loads;
3 laptops, 1 LaserJet printer, 1 refrigerator (not deep freezer), 2 standing fans, 2 TV and decoder sets, 1 submersible pump, about 10 bulbs or so.
I don't actually know the actual power needed for each of the loads, but I'm not particularly interested in powering all of them with an inverter.

So Sir, do you think the recommended system is ok?

Ah! This one na power house o it's certainly inadequate, you will need a budget of 6 digits to achieve this and 1 will not be the first number sef. So what was recommended to you is grossly inadequate. However if that is your budget then ditch the following:
Refrigerator, freezer and pump.

SoftHeart:
Greetings all,
I needed a solar inverter..., so after discussing with the seller, he recommends that 2.5kva would be best for the workload.

I'm a complete novice, so I want to be sure that I'm getting the best.

The seller gave me the system specs as follows; 2.5 kva, 2 batteries (200Ah), and 2 solar panels.
I was thinking that the solar panels should be more than 2. Is that correct?

Also, please what relevant questions should I ask the seller before making payment to be sure that I'm getting the best?

Thanks in anticipation for your help.
God bless!

It all depends on your load and what's the capacity of the panels?

omotoda:
They ain't located on same side.One is west while one is east but roof structure is virtually flat

So this is not the way to determine if the MPPT is doing better. However I hope you can see that you need to review the orientation of the panels connected to the MPPT

omotoda:
Please expert in the house,is there really any difference in the efficiency of PWM CC compared to MPPT?I have attached 2 pictures of the current generated by both at about 10:30 am today.There isn't really any significant difference.The MPPT is connected to 260w x4 units of Felicity panels and is charging 2units of 200ah batteries in series while the PWM is connected to 160w x 4 units of Felicity panels charging 3 units of 105ah batteries in parallel.I really do not see much difference except there is something I am not analysing right.

Normally with the number of panels connected to the MPPT you should see more hervest than the ones connected to pwm so unless the orientations are not the same I don't see why a 1kw+ should hervest same with a 700w+

earthrealm:
Yeah to create a 280ah 48v bank.
However my actual target is 300ah to 400ah 48v bank

Lol so who is setting up a mini grid between both of us o

Mpeace:
On a very serious note, I expect wapco to cross 15 today.
That guy done give up.

I actually think I saw it cross 15

Mcy56:
Issokay o.
See silence everywhere.
E Ku Market ooo.

NB breaking out anyhow...........wish I'd bought at 32 myself, when I first called the forum attention to it.

Think we should give it to Oga RabbiDoracle
He was the first to call forum attention to it at 22+ .over 100% within few months! Chai!

**Not any form of advice**

Men no b small thing with NB o, but looks like things are moving up for most bank stocks as well. Eti is the one I don't understand at all, the stock no dey shake body upward at all

BetaTechnicians:
Why is ANT BMS taking over?
What's wrong with DALY ?
CC:
All
Ojeysky

Daly still has a place because it's cheaper but one of the con is that it's not manageable(, though I see they've started releasing Bluetooth version as well) and it's locked in on number of cells. For instance the ANT BMS I have is 7s to 16s so I can easily upgrade to 48v setup in future without issues and the voltage range also works with various lithium spec while Daly is usually locked to some type of lithium.

Speaking of BMS, I have both Daly and ANT BMS for sale 1 and 2 units respectively

danowena:
Okay sir. So the series connection does not make the capacity 8x280ah=2240ah.

If you have 8 3.2v 280AH cells it will be 280AH 25.6v, when you connect in series you are increasing voltage but when you connect in parallel that is when you are increasing AH

danowena:
Gurus,
Please which is better, buying a single 24V 280ah lithium battery as against buying 8 of 3.2 volt 280ah . Which is better for longer capacity in carrying load? Pardon me o o, I am complete novice in these matters.

There is nothing like a single 280AH 24V lithium, when you open it you will find that it contains series of 3.2v cells

ceaser:
But it's also with inverter compressor, right?

219L should be okay for personal/home use. If it's inverter type, then you should look forward to seeing around 60 watts to 80 watts consumption on it as opposed to 110w/115w on the regular compressor.

379L is good too. it even seems the 319L is not even enough anymore for contents sold in the shop. I should know that this Oliver-Twist-wants-more attitude cost money jàre.

No my current 219t is not inverter compressor but the 379L is inverter compressor and I was saying if I can't find a 319t with a tubro fan I might just settle for getting the same 219t that I currently use as it has a turbo fan but I will keep praying to master J to make the 379L possible

ceaser:
• Zero8Zero3Three7Seven5Nine9Four. - that big shop at the roundabout opposite textile industry where traffic police (yellow fever) stays. I think chuksman electronics is the name. I understand they have the 319L inverter in stock as at 3 weeks ago. So you can call ahead for inquiry.

• The second shop which I annoyingly deleted their number cos they disappointed that my client is the LG shop located at Basiri. It's the building beside I think that JK furniture and funeral home. They actually called me that they had brought a single unit for my client.

• But she had settled for a unit at that thermocool shop at Dalimore/Similoluwa area. I understand the similoluwa store had about two units in stock as at that time.

The price offered for the Basiri shop was 5k less but of course they disappointed. The prices of appliances generally at that shop opposite textile is always on the high side. So prepare to negotiate well.

• The LG shop at Bank road had 519L inverter then and they promised they were gonna stock 319L after Corona lockdown. I can't say if they've done that.

Please let me know when you've noted that phone number so I can edit this post.

I know the one at textile(homes) to be more expensive, I actually already visited the dalimore showroom and the prices are also close to the one I should you on Jumia. Meanwhile the seller at Jumia claim not to have the turbo version anymore so my order was cancelled.
Saw a 379L inverter turbo version in one of the showrooms here but men those things are now very expensive. I am probably going to just settle for my original 219t eventually as I love that tubro fan feature on the lid and the temp display.
Thanks Bro!

earthrealm:
Ahaa, i knew it. That Valto wudnt just buy only 8 units for sale, some men dem here hv cornered the thing.
Ol boy no be 16 units i dey see so? U wan form mini substation ni?

I thought you wanted 16 as well

ceaser:
Holy cow! 197k. That's killing. This stuff was 167k, at most 170,551k less than three months ago.

Don't worry, I can give you a couple reliable outlets with good prices in ADK when you're ready. There was a minor altercation with one of 'em outlets there when they disappointed another client which I knew. They later called me about 6 weeks ago that they now have it in stocks and asked if the guy in ADK will still be interested. So there's still a chance they have it and probably for less than 197k, I want to believe.

I'd have loved the fan type too, but the products I saw with fans were inverter 509L and regular 319 and regular 419L. I almost believed that the 319 inverter had no fan option if not that you posted it here now. If I knew there's 319 inverter turbo option, I'd have insisted on it.

Tell me make I note ham?

I have got 2 brand new BMV 712 with temp sensor for grabs. 125k each

Q/A
Is this the victron BMV 712 with Bluetooth features?
Yes
Is the price negotiable?
No price is firm Sir/Ma
Does the price include shipping?
No it doesn't, but I can waybill to any part of the country at buyer's cost.

Still available 115k to anyone buying both

DexterousOne:
My instinct is pushing me to go big on UBA and Zenith

In a 40/60 ratio

I hope I dont regret this o

For some reason
Despite some skirmishes

I'm in love with UBA

Will be in it for a while, dividends encouragement go help. Speaking of dividends, I never see Zenith and UBA dividends o....I hope am not alone

Mcy56:
Do you know from which skyscraper Wapco came down from?
The journey may not be straight but the stock will benefit the patient and long termers if it continues on the right track.

Certainly for long termers but it's looking like na 10%ter tins go work better for this Baba B regime o

earthrealm:
does it come with apprioprate bms?. wish it was upto 16, would have considered it

Prepping mine for deployment, make an irresistible offer you never know

IYGEAL:
Bought this WAPCO at a little over N9.
I guess it's time to start booking some profit.

Lucky you, I exited at km 13.40. At current 14.10 it's only 7% away from the year's high, I hope you will japa and not rely on the km20 gamble.

Danniee:
Yeeee why ARDOVA dey do me like this?
Enter for 12.60, now 10.30, pls what should I do at this point in time - Sell, Hold or Average down? Need candid advice.
Thanks in anticipation.

Just know you are not alone

earthrealm:
The bolded are all hybrid inverters, what you posted is a CC, i dont know if that cc has equalization settings.
The old mustpower is no longer in the market, and[b] i dont know if they changed their name to Must.[/b]
The sellers here would have been in a good position to clarify which device has what, but unfortunately most of them dont know/or are not interested in answering ...

Yeah must power is the manufacturer of must products, I do have one of their hybrids installed at a location it's a good alternative to felicity

ojeysky:
So when I got introduced to Sonoff I was hoping the hub version would work for my household and ordered it, unfortunately based on my house wiring and the various dependencies thereof, the individual Sonoff basic is what will work for me. My AliExpress tracking says the hub is now in naija while the basic pack I ordered is still no where to be found(hoping it will arrive soon as well)

Interested in the hub? You can book it for 22k. It's the R3 version with 8kw+ cumulative capacity. It will come with a remote as well

So the Sonoff CH4 8.8kw capacity with remote controls has arrived and in its original packaging.
Application scenarios:
1. CH1 control you lightens
2. CH2 your pumping machine
3. CH3 Security lights
4. CH4 freezer/fridge
Each of the CH has a 2.2kw load capacity.

Reach me if interested.

Inverter freezer 319L rated at 115 watts. I think the equivalent non-inverter 319L is rated at 156 watts (I'm not sure it won't be higher).

Which one is turbo inverter again o? Is it different from the regular inverter compressors?

.

Thanks for the detailed response, as to your question, they are all 319L it's just the model that is different, the TS apparently has a turbo fan attached to the lid to circulate air for distributed cooling. I loved that feature on my current non-inverter 219T until Kazeem fingered it and I lost both the fan and light. Worse part is that I still paid him for all the damages, with my freezer turned to a power guzzler
What was the price like when you got yours though? Prices are not smiling o

Abdomox:
Sorry, I'm a novice on this subject matter. When you log data, what does that mean or do? And what's the benefit of the scripts other users share. Thanks.

What data logging means is getting information from the inverter with a software and then having a software present it in an human readable format such as the one attached. As to scripts, what I meant was that some people share their codes that you can then use on your setup.

That said, I will suggest that you don't worry too much about logging for now, both inverters are good as standalone. I have not used growatts before but the spec I have read are good to the eyes. Perhaps if you indicate the specific axpert and growatt model you send to procure then you may be advised based on spec.

Abdomox:
What do you mean by "external logging" please? And what are examples of the integration options Axpert has that Growatt does not.

Thanks.

For instance I log my inverter (axpert variant) data on emoncms through an app called solpiplog both of which are external logging, there are other existing scripts that are shared by various individuals/communities just because axpert(or it's variants) are used by quite a number of people . Growatts on the other hand does not seem to me as being popular like the axpert hence am not sure there are existing tools to read data from it but ofcourse I may be wrong.

Abdomox:
Good day all. I need advise on Growatt vs Axpert.

I am planning to buy Growatt inverter, but want to know if anyone has had issues with his/hers over the years. Also, do you think Growatt is better than Axpert as being postulated by these foreigners.

Thank you.

If it's the actual axpert then I will say it has more integration options as various communities develop third party apps for it especially if external logging is of interest to you

litaninja:
Lol. Nice.
On the one hand, I'd agree with those that say it looks like a lot of work for switching / voltage monitoring. But on the other hand, this kind of setup is usally a one-time deal, setup and leave it to run for a life time....unlike Raspberry or node-red that will require updates, SD card replacements...etc.
To each his own sha.

Certainly the bolded won't be applicable unless you need new features but yes one man's breakfast na another man's dinner

danowena:
Wow, thanks for the elaborate response.

1. My inverter is Sukam. I doubt it supports parallel output. Not sure though but we are separating loads.
2. The Victron 250/100 is almost 450k . Can the hybrid do same job? I understand the Victron can help you monitor your loads and even switch some off.
3. I will have to change the wires. What a waste. I will go for the 16mm so I can harness as much as possible.
4. Is understood.
5. Is understood.
Thank you so much.

Since you already have an inverter then the hybrid won't be applicable as that is an inverter+cc. If victron is beyond reach, you may consider getting flexmax 80, @JUO advertised some of them, just check previous pages. If you are going for that, be sure to use at least 16mm wires
