I couldn't fix I again today
The guy I called didn't know how to fix a Dc/Ac fan

So I will find someone else to do it

Haha what's the big deal ? Lol

thuao:
I got it for 51k at a store in ib
Though i saw it on jumia at 48k or so
But it's out of stock when I wanted to buy

I should install it tomorrow

Ok drop a review when you do so

thuao:
Thanks
I will try it now.

I went around ib today
Couldn't get XT60 cable or connector
The solar/inverter guys just didn't know anything about it or what it looks like

Seems solar generator is still strange/new to them

There's a seller available on Jiji but it's overly pricey over 20k or so

webminister:
Its a new solar panels, I explained to the seller that I need Jinko panel, which in accordance to him, he doesn't have but Canadian which I opted for only to get to home and during testing, found out it was Sun power brand I was given. And its place on open space in the compound I stay facing the sun and not on ceiling.

Prior to this, first Canadian panel had issue with my MC4 as no light input was observe on Ecoflow which necessitate my running and get another, now the above is still not given what I expected and he is saying my station will need two solar panels.

Buy solar panel from reputable stores or direct from foauni unless you go juz dey waste money !

thuao:
2 ceiling fans

Though I got a 26w dc/ac duravolt ceiling fan today
That wud reduce the power consumption

Kindly drop a review and price of the AC/DC ceiling fan

140 watts for fan is crazy !

How many fans ? If it's just one change it quickly bro

thuao:
Pls I need answer
Can I go ahead with 590w panel or I shud stick to 550w
I av already ordered the D2
I want to get the solar panel and other accessories now
Thanks

Emoreni:
I can't wait to be free from nepa wahala
I think D2 will suffice for now,Thanks for the guide.

As for the awg is ok to buy from Temu?
What length should I go with to be on the safe side?

Most people from this thread actually got from Temu. You may just buy 2/3 metres then buy solar extension cables to close the gap between your solar panel and the d2

Everyone try to follow Volvo camper life on YouTube and watch those guys videos...very cool

Or you don’t know much about it either??

Kindly watch this video very very well
All you need to know is embedded
There's a way to trick the D2 into making the input from the battery over 200 watts.

Emoreni:
Just for clarity: Team DIY solar
The list for the setup from what I gathered from here includes
1. Delta 2 or higher grade
2. Jinko solar 555W or higher
3. Mc4 to xt60 connector (what thickness is recommended?)
4. Surge protector/ controller ( in case of lightening)
Are these all that is needed for the solar setup?
And how to mount the solar panel is my worry cos it's a rented apartment, I live upstairs, and also in the event of heavy wind hope it won't get blown off.

Please suggestions and corrections will be appreciated.

Good one bro that you're making a move to be free from national grid wahala lol
You have a great list up there I must say , for the power station that you intend to get you must first try to ascertain your power needs. That will determine if you should go for D2 or higher one.

For the awg , you 10awg or 12awg. The lower the number of awg the better.

To install the solar panel , it's better you call on a technician to help you. That was what I did. They will help you better secure it up there and they also know better angles to put it. You can DIY if it's convenient.

Emoreni:
Please what's the role of the mc4 to xt60 connector and how do you install it?

That's what connects your power station to the solar panel for the purpose of charging. You can read up posts from this particular thread.

Babatundehy:
There'll be many more days like this, when the rainy season really hits, there will be days or even a whole week when the sun can barely be felt on one's skin, then a day's sun will not fully charge the device.
You barely took advantage of the day's sunshine if you would have used the Delta 2 but didn't use because you wanted it fully charged and the sun wasn't really bright, you could have charged your delta 2 to maybe 45/50 percentage and then run your loads ( assuming load is somewhat close to the solar input you were getting, say 150/200), you could have had your refrigerator running, devices charged and fans working, you then shut the AC of the Delta 2 off by maybe 4pm or just before the sun goes down (you'll know when), so it charges faster until sunset and you have some battery juice for nighttime.
My point, leaving to charge fully until the power station is loaded isn't the best way to maximise the solar energy, you can use for more hours by charging halfway or close and then loading it up.

There was grid power all through this time of charging via rays so there was no need. I need longer backup during the night

iamlammy:
Jinko 555w panel? I’m getting really shitty input here because of the rain. No sun at all today

Same here
The weather has been cozy all day
Managed to get the D2 up to 80% from zero since about 9am till now 4.40pm

twosquare:
Second rain of the year.

This is the highest pulled at the 12:31 pm

Be careful though.

Thanks chief , it's not a regular thing
Just very very once in a while

ksmart027:
Why not buy qasa iron 300w, it will be more efficient.

If you have a link to seller or link to product please drop.

I hope the iron is very good , my clothes are usually heavily starched

The D2 is a heavy duty
Anyone here who has it has got a gem on his / her hand
I decided to do something weird today because I had accidentally done it before and I was marveled!

My iron ( 2400 watts ) was left in power accidently when I switched to D2. Lo and behold e no shake one bit !

Today I used it to iron my clothes conveniently without any issues atall. My gen go beg me o because that's like the only thing that would have made me be remembering the gen small small and now D2 don handle am wella !

Monitored it on the screen and I saw about 1800 watts recorded

Babatundehy:
Does anyone have good information about a reputable, tested and trusted brand making lithium ion phosphate battery? I'm looking to buy one, 12v 100ah, the 12v 100ah Ecoflow branded battery on JUMIA is about 425k. There are other brands like odiple and cordi energy on jumia, and they cost 100k less than the Ecoflow's.
I'm already thinking to go for the Ecoflow as I want to assume the BMS in that of Ecoflow will be better than that in these not-so-popular brands, I stand corrected 🫢, thus I'm putting this up here.
I have read reports of the BMS failing in brands like c worth and even felicity, I definitely do not want to deal with that, I'll be waiting for your replies 🫡😊

Go for powmr you won't regret!

Hydronium:
Still Jinko? is that what you're using? how many watts do you get from it?

Nope I'm using a 545 watts panel
I wish I had just done the 600+

iamlammy:
I wanted to get the Jinko 615w Solar panel when i got my 555w but people here said it wasn’t needed and the 555w will be sufficient as it will be over paneling but the 555w panel is not so bad for me. I’m not getting max input but i’m close. 360-390 average and 400+ on a good day.

That's cool but imagine what 615watts would have done on a normal day.

You'd max the 500 watts input no doubt!

For D2 just get a 650 watts panel if you can and save yourself the stress !

Honestly I could have just over panelled!
Anyways I'm still very much learning a lot in this solar game.
Over panelling will create a lot of room for maximisation of RV

Anyways we move !

Debroslink:
Are you using it now? If yes, help us confirm the number of cycles you'll be running per day on the power station

Not yet bro
But very soon

This is the kinda setup I was talking about guys.
It's doable for longer backups
Simple summary

Get an external battery
Charge it from the power station
Charge the power station from solar

When the sun is down , charge the power station from the external battery

U go buy gbentu

Just forget about the TV, it has likely packed up for good. I had a hisense 4k smart tv that had exactly the same issue as yours, took it to my reliable technician but he couldn't help, because hisense tv parts weren't in the market. That's how that beautiful TV got gifted out as scrap after only 3- 4 years' use. The screen will just crash for no reason. From my experience, I think the screen of hisense 4k tvs have a limited lifespan - maybe 3- 5 years. Worse still, no parts, unlike lg tvs & Co. Personally, I won't ever buy hisense 4k smart ever again. Op, don't waste your money by gambling with so-called repair, broken hisense 4k smart are problematic.

Thank you

Make Una help me o
I don't know if there's anyone here who's fixed screen before

What's the experience like
