I lived in Ilorin all my life and moved to Lagos couple of years back.
Richhard: What location, I'm in ilor.in presently, moved to a new area, that Asa River is a stone throw, I've been going to the Bank and developing big interest in fishing.
You need to understand that some banks did their installation when panels were 300 - 350 W.
and so they are little as they were the latest at the time, with 18-19% efficiency
At least a recent project for sterling bank, used 550W in the deployment
bassdow: Going by your assumption, how many Banks have you seen using large Solar panel. na mostly many small ones dem dey install abi dem sef no get Money, or uses pWm controllers.
Not disAgreeing with you BUT a lot of times also, the so called professional installers are the culprit. Most times, clients are clueLess on what they want hence reason they paying you to be of help. Issue is some of us most times ends up not really putting interest of said client as priority.
Just thought I should ask since we learn everyday. Personally, the lowest I have ever installed for clients are 300-watts
1. you can install an inverter AC to cool the room down
2. Use an injector and extractor fan. [The injector fan brings cool outdoor air; let's say it's placed around a tree and extractor takes the heat away.] It can even make more sense if it is temperature and humidity controlled.
Please how do you cool a solar system installed in an enclose space (i.e store) with no windows? That was the only place we saw fit to install without distorting the beauty of the interior design.
The set-up is 3 16kwh SRNE lithium batteries, 1 12kva SRNE inverter and charge controller .
Let's reduce the charging voltage to 54.5 , float at 53.5v and leave other settings.
lets see how that goes

Good morning . So sorry for the delayed feedback. Because of the way the battery was placed getting a picture was tricky. Please find attached. Thank you[/quote]
It's good that you were proactive to turn off power sources.
What voltage was displayed on the battery screen? Please share your inverter parameters/settings for verification, in case there is a mistake.
alarm; full, Power/supply over voltage warning [ it think]:pOVW sOVW, protect mechanism enaged; pOVP
Collione: Thanks so much. When the battery got full a red triangle kept flashing and here is some info displayed in the pictures. Kindly advise. Had to turn off all power sources incase
You need to check the manual for a more in-depth explanation of the lockdown voltage.
But in my own opinion, I believe you should set the lockdown to 48V for safety or precaution.
Collione: Hello good morning everyone.im having challenges setting up my battery settings on the inverter. It's a 5kva firman inverter with an lvtopsun battery. For lvtopsun the battery cut off voltage is 48v. Honestly I don't know the meaning of cut off voltage. However for the firman it says the battery lock down voltage is 42v . Is lock down voltage and cut off voltage the same? I don't want a scenario whereby the battery goes lower than it should as the BMS doesn't seem to be communicating
Do a complete system reset to reboot your new setting with startup and see if the battery will accept the charge. Also to note is that if your current is high, it may be rejected, so watch out for that too.
This SRNE 10kva inverter has kept my battery charge stuck at 53.2v. That's far from full. There are 6kwh solar panels connected to it. But right now in hot sun, only the sun is carrying the load of the building (as set by user), and battery isn't discharging as we can see on the inverter.
My first guess was the float was set to 53.2v and that's why its like this.
Entering the settings, battery type is set to Li4. I changed it to USER and set bulk and float to 56.0v (thats my personal setting for all my LFP). Yet, nothing changed. Inverter still only getting the sun it needs to run the house and not charging the battery to set 56.0v.
Settings is such that only solar panels runs all loads. Charging source is set to solar too. Though there's NEPA, the inverter is set to ignore it.
If you haven't done your installation, i will strongly suggest going for only 9 panel for those to be used in series.
If case 10 is to be used, say 5 panels in series and then have them parallel; these arrangements could likely damage the inbuilt MPPT if the Isc is more than that of the inverter's MPPT.
The best you should do is watch out! BTW, if you need a quote and installation with every bell and whistle that's going to keep your investment safe, be sure to reach out to me via contact in bio.
algomachine: Good day guys, I wanna install 10 585w jinko panels and a growatt 5kva inverter plus a growatt hope 5kwh battery. What should I budget for installation and accessories? I’m getting crazy quotes. Thanks
I don't really know what could be the issue, but then fingers can also be pointed to the surge since you said it rained.
obinna37: never use heavy appliances on it,I off the inverter myself because the battery is low and it's about to rain,when I switched it on the following day,it was displaying like that.Thank you
Can you please share pictures of the panels, i have a feeling i may have used its kind
quote author=burnerr post=135772677]Good evening house. Has anyone here used ZnShine panels and can they kindly give a review of it's efficiency? Thank you in advance.[/quote]
It has a working communication and above all, it has full capacity
