UBA still try in my opinion.
What will you say about Zenith that tried but the price is still crashing? Funny stock.

That zenith matter no be here at all, I don increase stake for UBA jare, I still prefer it over access at the current price.

Mcy56:
I only answered the ones they asked.
UBA is paying 17kobo.

Kai uba fumble o....no wonder people are buying access....they no try at all. It's going to be a red for them today fa. Thanks jare

GudluckIBB:
Anyone noticed you cant amend Order in Morgan Capital Itrade ?

That's the behaviour on meristem as well, you will need to cancel the order and create new one. I think it makes sense.

Edit: looks like amend is allowed with Morgan, that's quite risky what if due to network issues amend does not get delivered via the NSE API fast enough and a buy for initial order was done.

1, Let’s say I have panels supplying 1000 watts generation

2 hybrids will serve as CC and and can still be used to the battery with electricity right ?

3 can you lay more emphasis why it’s not safe

Thanks

1&2 if you want 1kw then you can get 1.5kw of panel 250w X 8 or 380w x 4. Get a 2kw hybrid inverter, it will serve as CC, will provide electricity to your gadget and will provide charging via utility as well not just through sunlight

3. The panel voltage may exceed the battery voltage and there will be noting to tell the panel to stop charging the battery which could result to overcharging

funshyboi:
1, Good day guys what determines the choice of charge controller to go for?

2, which is better, should I go for hybrid inverter or just CC

3 I have a friend who’s with 80watts solar panel with a LiFePO4 battery capacity of 480watts. Does that mean with 6/7 hours of sun the battery will charge to its full capacity

Do I need I still need a charge controller for this system thanks

1. Your budget and required generation from the sun
2. I prefer hybrids but some prefer standalone
3. Assuming the generation is 80w for 6/7 hours yes but that is not practical the power will drop and peak according to sun rays.

Yes you need a charge controller if you want to charge with sunlight. That said, some people connects panel directly to batteries, I don't recommend that. Not safe for you and your backup system

adrusa:
Is anyone here familiar with Felicity Charge Controller? I need the 120A or the 100A version, but it is important that I'm able to communicate with it over serial or modbus. Thanks in advance.

I know the hybrids have com I expect the controllers would as well

ceaser:
Unfortunately, government will be waiting for you people there.

You think say we go fit escape PHCN cum government wàhálà as dey go so?

Na for dem to begin ask anyone wey get solar panel for roof to start paying tax or just outrightly increase the custom duties on solar products imported into the country.

If revenue still nor enter reach, dem go begin collect tax for oxygen o.

Lol.....infact this crossed my mind when I wrote that as well.

Is UBA not paying interim as well?

Coolcash1:
Wapco gradually moving away from bargain hunters.

To hit N20 by December 2020.

Its a hold from me.

It still closed at 0% change me I no just understand that stock o

Sty2020:
Please house what is the best 3.5kva 24V or 3.5Kva 48V hybrid inverter in the market? Thank you..

Hmm... that's really about budget. The victron hybrids will certainly be one of the best and I heard there is an official reseller in naija. However other good ones include, must hybrid, Felicity hybrid, sorotec (which you can get from @valto), I don't know of a local source for MPP hybrids else it would be top on my list

Someone on this thread said prime delivers above name plate so I decided to give it a trial on my recent deployment and got 2x380w from @justcallmenuel. Today when the sun had a brief laughter I saw 0.84kw and it stayed for at least 2min, unfortunately I didn't take picture and no loging option at that site. My 280x9 sunfit was also slightly above name plate (power) when I checked my log today.

Certainly solar will be what more people will transition to with increase in utility cost/bills.

ojeysky:
12v Lifepo4 chargers, balancers, smart BMS and ANT BMS, still available

Still available

Sty2020:
Thanks so much

Just curious, why would you want to power a pumping machine for over 4 hours nonstop?

Sty2020:
Thanks for the clarification. It means I can power a 1hp/1.5hp submersible pumping machine with a hybrid 3kva inverter and just one 200ah? I hope I am right.

Note the type of battery, if your battery meet that requirement yes you can power it for the duration i earlier mentioned

Sty2020:
Thanks for the quick response? How many batteries do you use with your 3kva and how long do you think it can last if used for pumping water only?

It will depend on the ratings of your machine, I have a 200AH LFP and assuming I dedicate it to pumping machine (which is not practical in my case) it would last me about 4.5 to 5hrs

Sty2020:
What kVa of hybrid inverter/inverter do I need to power a 1hp/1.5hp submersible water pump? Thanks in advance.

Am using a 1.5hp and my 3kva hybrid powers it comfortably with my GenPal AC running. So you should be fine with a 2kw hybrid (that has a 2x surge)

2 units of victron smart BMV 712 with 500A shunt and temperature sensor still available.

Some of us are looking forward to the upcoming week, please Cease fire!

Not8one8one6seven1nine7nine

Please add your price for each of the versions. Folks should be adding prices to their stuff na

earthrealm:
Yeah, that should work. Set the inverter to 0 charge and hook up the standalone charger, 75 to 100amps 48v would be ideal, but not common am certain. Ojeyskys seems to be 40amps or so

The lithium chargers I have are not 48v. I have them in 12v variants

earthrealm:
330k plus, but Valtos sorotec is about 50k cheaper, similar specs.

But I thought that was 24v and the other one is 48v, did I miss something?

Ooh, the mighty MPP doesnt hv a lithium profile, interesting.
So your workaround is that you set the bulk and float to be roughly the same value.
This would work for devices with editable charge voltage settings. My 4yr old mustpower and highpower inverters dont have that capability .
Guess i would have to sell them off, when that te comes

It has profile for some specific lithium such as pylontech but not for generic lithium like mine. You certainly need to change inverter

earthrealm:
Yeah, its not gonna be cheap, when you factor in shipping and all, plus tying down funds for an indefinite periods, its in same price point as sorotec, sorotec has 3.2kw 48v variant, which is gr8. 90amps mppt, while this is 100amps mppt.

If the price is 330k+ I will say it's a great deal so long as it's does what is listed in that spec sheet. I will be interested in its power consumption from a user of the inverter.

@ house, is there a way to use a non lithium batteey specific inverter and Cc to charge lithuim battery?.
I think for cc, one can maybe play with the bulk and absorb time and voltage settings to get it work for lithuim, but for inverter.. seems no show.

Ayam tired, upon the hefty money am gonna spend on lithuim, to still add buying new inverter/cc to the budget get as e be o.
Mek una advice

Ofcourse, my MPP GK does not have a lithium profile and that's what I use for my battery. I basically charge my 25.6v LFP up to 27.4v and it floats at that voltage as well. That has worked fine for me.

funshyboi:
Morning guys I want to get something clear.the term hybrid inverter does it mean it can be used to charge the battery with electricity while it can still convert DC to AC.

It does that but more importantly it has solar charge controller inbuilt the inverter

ceaser:
@ the bolded first. Then anyone willing to hookup will seek his digits.

Or isn't that the way it's done here?

I could bet that I saw price quoted before at about 330k+ but I can't seem to find it again.

NiyiOmoIyunade:
Victron has an authorised dealer and service center here in Nigerian. A number of independent resellers also stock parts and have expertise to repair fix issues.

Magnum, SMA e.t c also have sellers who stock products, parts and can perform repairs.

The difference between the big name brands and your independent/niche imports is that the name brands have wide acceptance and a large user base - people will always stock parts for stuff that everyone buys/uses regularly.

Okay this is news to me, as to expertise to fix I think one can find that for most of the inverter variants it's just how much one is willing check.
Meanwhile I just noticed victron has hybrids as well. The 48v version sure looks interesting.

futurenix:
That's the nameplate on the 5.5KW

For those looking for 48v hybrids this looks interesting, the spec sheet will also be helpful data on efficiency rates and whether it does combined charging plus charge profile options will be a good to know information for me.

Edit: I have seen the data page shared by @ceaser it has a lithium charging profile as well. Wow! This could be the deal breaker in the chinco world

ANT BMS, Lithium chargers, smart 4s BMS, balancers, victron BMV 712 and bus bars still available

NiyiOmoIyunade:
Hmmmmmmm, I do think the market perceives a clear quality differential between the European origin Steca and Phocos vs Axpert and it's Asian clones.

The EU origin products are perceived to be more robust, stable and with better features overall.

One of my biggest issues is in-country aftersales support and parts when the product eventually breaks. I don't want to be waiting on replacement boards or parts to arrive.

Apart from felicity I don't think any other official aftersales support outlets exist for the rest; including the MPP, phocos and the big wigs victrons, magnum etc. So replacement parts process will be similar for all of them when the need arise.

What is only debatable is durability.

Rexage:
Hello house, please pardon my ignorance. Does one require a charge controller for a hybrid inverter?

Yes if the inbuilt charger controller cannot serve the total PV you intend to put on it

JustCryptos:
Thank you chairman, I need serious help.

Looks like you made multiple posts. You've been responded to here: https://www.nairaland.com/2428983/how-create-locally-made-inverter/224#93520799

JustCryptos:
Ceejay80s. First, I want to appreciate you for opening this thread and your efforts.

We did business over 3 years ago. You helped me to purchase my entire DIY unit comprising of UPS, 30amp smart charger, and a 200ah battery. I used that unit for about 2 years before the battery packed up.

Ceejay80s and to all the gurus in the house, I'll like to know what kind of setup 500k will give me.

Note: There's no electricity in the area I'll be relocating to. So, I'll be leaving 100% off grid until more people start living there.

What I intend to power. 1 deep freezer, 1 standing fridge freezer, 5 wall mounted fans, 2 LED TV sets, 1 1200w iron, and general LED house lighting.

Priority goes to my fridge, freezer and house lighting.

Please, I'll love experts in the house to help me. I'll also like to ask. I am yet to wire the house. Is there any need to do a separate wiring for solar and another for NEPA?

Thanks in advance.

I have a set-up for less than that amount but working with your 500k plan:

200AH X2 lead acid battery: 200k
Inverter hybrid 24v 2kva: 120k
Solar panel 380w X 3: 140k
Cable, battery lock, etc: 40k

Caveat: It certainly won't power all those stuff you've listed simultaneously. At the minimum you want to remove iron from the list

earthrealm:
This your Sorotec is a beast, wonder why peeps never buy am. The inverter make brain

We were waiting for you to put money on it, really anyone that wants a MPP like features they will get it on that sorotec so I certainly recommend it to anyone shopping for a 24v hybrid that has muscle to carry up to 4.5kw PV
