Sir, are you saying.thos is the price of 105ah LifePO4 battery? 280k? Truthfully?

dollarnaira:
Pls tell me one person with one tubular on freezer? We are all here to learn.

Start up of the freezer is roughly 700w to 900w oooo.

That it the annoying part 50% DOD
ROUGHLY dat is 110k for 330k. 105ah LifePO4 is 280k with 12yrs or more. Most of are being deceived by 220ah that is already fake.

Hello house, please I would appreciate any advice on this

Hello house,

I purchased a PowMr 60A MPPT CC barely two months ago for my parents setup, unfortunately they called me that the display stopped working and they are not able to ascertain if the batteries are charging. Their installer also travelled so he hasnt been able to go take a look. Please any advice on what to do? Or anyone experience such? Thanks

Oga ur whatsapp no go. I want to purchase some items

Thanks boss!

Good evening house. Please kindly address this question. Thanks in advance.

oliyeniun:
Good morning house. Happy new month to all.
Please I would like to purchase batteries for my aged parents and wondering which of these will give me longer years of use among:
- quanta
- monbat
- index nft

It is basically for powering a 55' LCD tv, two fans and five 5watt bulbs. Currently have a 750W solar panel array + 1.5kw schneider hybrid inverter. Looking to add one more 250watt panel plus MPPT for faster charging (there is a limit on the array of panels for the hybrid inverter).

Please kindly give user experience on any of these and suggest appropriate one. Thanks in anticipation.

Much appreciated feedback Oga Valto. God bless your knowledge.

Valto:
false at the bolded. the best u can get is 2yrs,though depending on usage, it can last up to 4 or 5yrs.

thats a mid range CC. if u are looking for something slightly better, go for fangupsun or epever

sirs, please help out. Thanks.

oliyeniun:
Hello house, please is it true that this amarom quanta has 10years warranty because someone wants to sell this to a friend of mine and said it is even better than tubular.

Then this MPPT too. Please any one used it before and can give review on it? Many thanks.

oga, good morning, do u have used telecomms batteries for sale?

Oshomo12:
Your 250w will drag 350w to behave like 250w panel. If you must use 350w, put it on another CC.
No good CC comes cheap, kindly note this.

On your proposed installation for your parents, if you want to use tubular, which I personally won't use. Are you very close to them? Those wet cells need baby sitting o!

thanks for this insight @Oshomo12 Noted on the different wattage for the panels.
We stay very far away sir! On baby sitting the tubular batteries, it would be helpful to have an idea on how often the water need to be topped? monthly? quaterly?
Thanks.

Hi House,

Good evening to you all. i am a bit of a novice but very much interested in solar energy.

Please i need recommendation on good low maintenance battery brand that one can buy for aged parents. i am looking at buying Quanta, that is what i use personally and it has served me for more than two years and still counting, though DoD isnt more than 50% most of the time except in extreme conditions. the electrolyte ones we got them did not last more than one year,

Apart from quality, i am also looking for something that can last for at least five years. Heard those that use distilled water lasts longer, is this true?. if this is the case, how often does the water need to be topped up?

in order to upgrade the system, is it possible to add panels say two 350 watt panel to an existing 250 watts panel array without it affecting the setup (All 24 volts)?

Also i may need to buy a CC for the setup because the inverter has an inbuilt CC which by adding more panels, will exceed its capacity. Kindly recommend a good and not too expensive CC to use for this.

Thank you in advance for your response and also recommendation on who can supply these without hitches. God bless you all.

Most importantly, can anyone hook me up with installer based in sokoto? Thank you

hello house,

i have a solar installation: 24V system, 1200Watts PV array, SuNex 130A MPPT CC (used to have an Epever CC which the installer blew up and replaced with this) 2 200AH Quanta batteries, bought last year and a bluegate 2KVA / 24V inverter. In my location as early as 10am, the battery indicators on each battery is already reading 14.1V because we have plenty sun .

the issue is that since i changed from the Prag inverter i was using before to this bluegate inverter, when there is no NEPA and the inverter is on at this time, it goes turns off once the voltage reading on each of the battery gets to 14.1V and except i put plenty load on the inverter to bring the voltage down, it keeps tripping off, which i suspect is due to excess current and the possibility that the battery is full and the solar is still charging the battery (i may be wrong and i stand to be corrected). i also read it somewhere that Quanta manufacturers have a cut off voltage for longevity of their batteries at a much lower voltage (between 13.5-13.6 thereabout). i contacted an installer about the problem and he said i should install a circuit breaker between:

i. the Solar Panels and the CC (60A)
ii. the CC and the battery (30A)
iii. the battery and the inverter (30A)

this instruction is a bit strange to me and i am humbly asking the house what they think the problem might be and if the recommendation of the installer should be followed and if not, what should be done. I am counting on the house o. this investment must not waste o. Thank you.

its so amazing that despite the well known fact that kiekie has been called a conman, he still freely posts items for sale on this forum. are there no measures to curb these kind of people on this forum? Just curious

I know of 270w flames don't know if they make 250w

Hi House,

I bought a set of panels from a renowned and respected person on this forum known for warning against fake solar panels and accessories. i have transacted business for a long time with this said person and had no cause to doubt his integrity. however my last transaction with him gave me reasons to question his business dealings with me as shady as i ordered for panels (three 250 Watts) and he told me he was sending flames panels which he got direct from the company.

Unfortunately, when the panels came, there was no indication that it was a flames panel and the installer confirmed same. as at 1pm, i was getting less than 2Amps current on a single panel and it was quite sunny. Since then the person has cut off all communications with me as he was also trying to get kickback from the installer (which i got to know about later and refused to work with his agreement), this is after overpricing[color=#990000][/color] even the logistics of how the items got to me.

please i am just curious, is it possible to buy a flames panel without the sticker indicating that it is flames? is there anyone with sample picture of how flames panels look? thank you

Thank you for this unhoarded knowledge sir.

olopan:
Yes, but went to Lagos to get a few items for a site maintenance.

Thank you sir. Are u in Ilorin?

olopan:
Hello Oliyeniun

I'd love to work on your system for you while you gain knowledge too.

I guess you have everything needed for the installation on ground?

I will get the electrical schematics to you later on in the day.

Yes the connection is different as you will have Eliminated some components and set up will come out different.
And I will recommend a minimum of 10mm or 6-8 AWG cable from PV to Inverter (since hybrid)

I am very much interested sir! I tried reaching out also. Thanks for this opportunity.

Saipro:
Saipro is in Ilorin too but I'm more of a hobbyist. I'd rather teach you the DIY route to your destination. Reach out if you don't mind getting your hands dirty (and possibly learning how your setup works, in the process)

Thanks all for the response. It was really helpful. I appreciate.

Hello house,

Please i am trying to install a solar panel system for my parents, can you recommend a good solar installer in Ilorin?

Secondly, I want to ask if anyone can help with the schematic drawing for hybrid inverter connection. I am not an expert but I try to read up, and from my readings, it seems that the connection of solar hybrid inverter is different from the normal solar-inverter connection.

Thirdly, I assume I don't need a charge controller if I am using a hybrid inverter...please help clarify.

Lastly, what is the recommended cable size and type for connection from the panels to the inverter....this is so that if I don't get a recommended installer, I can at least monitor the one I can manage to get to ensure a good connection.

Thanks house.

No, its AGM and the inverter is a Schneider make. 1.5V.

DUNKA:
If it is an Axpert hybrid inverter and you are using flooded batteries you will need a charge controller so that the batteries will not die within a short while. It has something to do with the charging parameters for and Axpert hybrid inverter with flooded batteries

Can the experts please recommend a response?

Thanks for the feedback

Hello house,

Please I want to ask if anyone has used SMG lead acid inverter battery before?/Made in India. How good is it?

1.2KW solar panels. the epsolar itself isn't working, fortunately, i had a PWM controller that i was using before. I just reverted back to it in the mean time pending resolution of the fault on the MPPT.

zeestone99:
I believe your inverter is still working and your controller is the issue. Also it's rare for epsolar to get damaged like that as I have only seen situation like this happen to morning star controller. What is the size of your array.

Zilch!

None yet! Bad thing is that i am requesting a change of inverter and the installer (who is also the seller) is insisting he cannot change the inverter or refund my money because he has broken the warranty seal of the inverter. I am at a loss of what to do because truthfully, i have concerns and reservation about the blue gate inverter, he is insisting that the wiring of my house might be faulty. I dont think so because i have used two luminous and most recently prag and no issues with house wiring. Could bluegate be that sensitive?

zeestone99:
I understand you sir. We will do our best to help you sir. What is the update on the controller.

Hi sir, more knowledge sir! thank you for your input. With all due respect, location is a constraint for me. I admit i have limited knowledge about solars and inverters but good enough to know when things are not the way they should be and i am aware there are professional installers on this thread, that is why i seek first, second and many opinions when i am unsure about things. would appreciate if you could recommend a good installer for me based in Sokoto. Thank you.

zeestone99:
We have professional installers on this thread, some people will run away because of price and come here to complain. Complains on these thread is now more than talks about latest solar and renewable innovations, equipment reviews etc. This must stop in 2020 .my 2 kobo

Hello house,

thank you for the prompt answer to my question. the installer however insisted that he disconnected the solar panel before removing the inverter cable, which i doubt and contradicts the report of my brother that was around when he came. right now, he is looking for how to get it fixed, hopefully it works and as @NiyiOmoIyunade advised, we wont fight but will resolve amicably. Thank you all for the prompt response.

One more expert opinion please, the blue gate that i changed to does make a lot of noise, i mean the fan. it is still under warranty and i have the option of changing it if i dont like it, please can you recommend any good inverter : 24V , between 1.5KVA and 2. Thank you all. .

NiyiOmoIyunade:
Hold that installer well mhen.

Before him go call monkey dog for you o!

Random failures happen but I strongly suspect the batteries were disconnected while solar was still connected just as PenuelSeun said.

All in all, these things happen even to the best of us. No need to fight. Just ensure he accepts responsibility and contributes both time and money to the resolution.

Your mantra should be 'but it was working perfectly before you came and worked on the system'. Just keep singing this song until he does the right thing.

Recently sent one of my boys for a simple job -- relocate inverter within Lekki. The old location had been unoccupied for a while. When inverter reached destination, it did not come on at all - I asked my boy, did you try to put it on before dismantling it? He said NO. I just jejely sent it for repairs at my own expense - the owner was just singing that song 'but it was working well before your boy dismantled it and brought it here'
