Kindly provide pictures of your spec sheet

if a comparison is done between this and your Charge controller, it will need 18V - Vmp from your panels to drive itself or charge battery, - "potential difference"

Having 12V from your battery may not provide much power as expected while feeding it from panels directly will give you the needed results

A 450W - 600W I.e. 150W x 4 pcs will give you needed power at early morning, late evening and cloudy days, than when just using 150W x 2

Polaris1:
. Its 12v 180w.

Specs sheet said it can be run directly from solar panels without a controller and battery, although I might just add them to be safe.
I will appreciate all comments from users and dealers.

The batteries looking sleek in the rack, more power

Okay, I do not know of this regarding growatt three operations

ojtech8291:
like phase balance that is when the three are connected in parallel they will work as a single 3phase with no effect on the individual Inverter.

Approximately 245k without the installer service charge
Note: Just inverter & Battery (L.A)

You can even thin down the cost more if you procure major accessories/equipment yourself I.e. if knowledgeable about R.E

toxicbrain:
What's the present cost of installing a 1kva inverter system.... I just need something to power my TV set and fan...that's all

What do you mean by " 3 phase shift"

ojtech8291:
Can Glowatt Inverter do a better 3phase shift when connected. I need a good 3phase Inverter at 48V or 3 numbers of Inverter that work as 3phase when connected.

@en0uwem

Sorry you still going through the hassle of your installation, though thought it was all solved with a recommendation you got earlier from a member here.

Here are some possible problems causing your system to not perform as expected.

1. Your panels - a recent run into your panel series bought by a client & from our field test it is shown to produce 77% at peak for short intervals of high sun intensity and operates averagely between 45%-55% or lower in normal to poor solar irradiance

Also your panels could have been placed at a wrong angle and unfavorable angle or they are placed that They don't harvest the sun well due to how the sun pass over them

2. Energy storage & energy going into it - From aforementioned, panel performance let's say your 4.2kWp operates @60% I.e. 2.52KWp for 4 sun hours equal 10KWh
From control test of your 7.5KWh felicity battery, tested by members here your 150Ah is (120Ah@48V) x 2 pieces = 11.5KWh of energy storage but because you run day time loads, assuming Let's say from 8am - 5pm equals to 4KWh of energy usage

Generated energy - energy used = remaining energy in storage

10KWh - 4KWh = 6KWh

Remaining energy / storage capacity = 6KWh / 11.5KWh

You have 52% of energy left in battery by sundown, from your previous posts you are mostly left with three bars of battery

3. Inverter - While kartel is a good product its transformer based build makes it a power hugger, draining your battery even when on idle power and even more to feed its internal components when running other loads as said by a member in previous posts, if you can try using a transformerless inverter like Growatt, Deye, Axpert with a year to two year warranty you can monitor in real time your energy usage and consumption keeping you ahead of the curve

Conclusion
You will need to spend a little more to upgrade and perfect your system with the right equipment and you should have rest from there on.

I can help you have a look at your installation remotely via DUO or Whatsapp, just get some basic handy tools like screw driver, a clear camera and a good network

What configuration do you have presently and how many panels

stevebond007:
So how many panels required now? 2 or 3

This would be a pretty hard task, you can handle the purchase professionally With agreed terms of return if the battery fails and test under extreme conditions under usage when installed to be sure it is still ok

numericalguy:
Pls how can I test it to be sure the single battery I'm buying is still alive.

Yes, by over sizing the panels by 150-160% of the max. PV input wattage

stevebond007:
Solar guys, I like to know if someone could make a 5.0KVA system but with lesser, more powerful number of solar panels?

We buy spent deep cycle lead acid batteries for recycling

As a pro installer or DIY RE home user, kindly reach out to get your battery swapped for a rebate

200Ah - 21,000

150Ah - 14,000

100Ah - 10,000

We also do a nationwide pick-up

Though the 1M is quite expensive but I guess his looking to install an early streamer, which is mostly use to cover for sensitive equipment area(offices and all), but nothing bad having your home covered by an early streamer Indelec Lightning arrester.

Niyiomolyunade helped showed me the basic information, which we installed for a customer recently, but if you consider such arrester as Indelec as against the conventional "Trident" types, you need to have enough to cover the cost

hiidee:
Thanks for dis info. Pls how much do u think arrestor will cost as someone told me it is upto 1M naira.

A distress sale of Growatt 6KVA 48V a friend called yesterday that he bought for a project and it wasn't approved and in need of cash urgently

Price: 560,000

If interested kindly call me ... Contact on signature

Location of inverter: Abuja but his ready to send to buyers location

Working on something for my mifi using coaxial and a few rudimentary science, I will give a feedback if swift still browse free

cris83:
My question goes to those who use routers with external antenna. Which one should I get? I want to boost my indoor router (its spectranet router) signals so I can get better speeds for my swift line. Is there any probable solution to this problem?

I will be more concern with what type of fish you targeting with those tiny gill nets you have ... Up the size of your net for only the big fish ... Leave the small ones mak them grow

yungrylex00:
I setted a net to catch fish
But unfortunately or should I say fortunately
It caught this serpent
Looks like a python
I checked it's mouth it has no fangs

I couldn't eat it tho I had to give it out to my neighbours

I think famicare is modified sine wave inverter but I am not 100% sure just like the mercury inverter using two battery

Deluxe8000:
Famicare 1000w inverter

I fancy your balancer, please tell me more on how it works and it that a batrium display you posted?

ewizard1:
Super Active Balancer for Li-ion/Lifepo4 Cells

Balance current up to 2A. @ N5000 per Cell

Is there a way you can open the inside for it to be seen for all and your connection methods can be explain to you

ajabani4allah:
I just got the ATS below, it didn't come with manual and I am a little bit confused concerning the wiring with load, Nepa and generator, pls i need your enlightenment on it

Kindly provide pictures, if available

en0uwem:
The panels are installed on a single plane - one side of the roof.
They're new panels. But I don't know if they're cheap Chinese panels. I'll check in the morning. Thank you

Having check your recent comments, your loads are within a minimal range (600 - 1200W) battery should charge well, though panels could have being more

Your panels may be averaging 2KW - 3.6KW instaneously on ideal cases I.e. if they are all installed on a single plane I.e. one side of your roof

From my own POV I suspect your panels are installed on different side of the roof, dragging and shifting the power points of power via the charge controller.

If you can provide pictures just ascertain this point,

Also, lastly to note is that I pray and hope that your panels are not a "refurbished,used,tokunbo,UK used" solar panels .... If that is the case then that is another angle to look at things from.

en0uwem:
Good day everyone.
This is the solar system that was setup for my store. It's been about a month now since it was setup.
The problem with this system is that harvesting and charging is very poor. It barely charges well. And I am using it off grid - I only charge with the solar panels.

The charging is slow and if it continues this way, I fear the battery won't last as I hardly get a full charge. It's always one or two bars charging on very sunny days.

Please what should I do?

Since your budget is tight, it is advice to that you do away with your AC to allow for a moderate size inverter and energy storage(battery) needed

On an average you should be needing a 1.5KVA inverter 24V ( two battery) system with say up to 1.5KW of PV array, a 40A MPPT charge controller to go with it and other installation accessories

A budget of 750,000 - 950,000 will suffice

You can contact me via signature, if need be for more clarification

limsycutey:
I need an inverter with batteries and solar panels for a 2 bedroom. Can someone give a breakdown of what I need and how much I'm looking at. I'm on a tight budget so I need cost-saving options. Thanks.

Appliances I want to power:
A smart TV
1 1.5hp LG inverter AC (if it won't burden the inverter)
3 standing fans
10 energy saving bulbs
1 decoder
1 router

Location is Ajah, Lagos.

Very much interested

Thanks for the insight on the residential but it is more of a factory setup with roughly up to 100mx100m space

Any idea of a good seller you can recommend? That also sell the counter

NiyiOmoIyunade:
You choose an early streamer (Indelec) chiefly based on the land area/size of facility you want to protect.

Good day Guys,

Anyone with a DC SURGE PROTECTION DEVICE of 120V - 200VDC MAX.

ALSO what is the best Indelec lighting protection at the moment, with a counter too I presume?

Looking at you, one kin as you just dey mention Pi3 .... That thing is 45k minimum now ...

netotse:
I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty, I already have home assistant running on a PI, the issue I have is how to get into the Multiplus. Had to run HAOS because it's a Pi3 I have and a supervised install kept freezing. I have another Pi I want to use as a media

Never install it before, but I have seen it used and pics sent to me.

isangjohnson:
1. Has anyone here ever used 150w all in one solar street light with 4G camera?

2. Does it come with it own panel? YES, just above it

3. Can it brightness be sustained from 7pm to 6am?

4. How does it perform on raining season? Like every other solar related products, raining season will affect it too

5. How good is the inbuilt Camera? 1080p I believe from what I saw,

If to make things more clear,

1. If fans are OX consider changing them to DC ones

2. Those tape LED sometimes are power guzzlers once seen one used for signage of just three LED use up to 12W and they were daisy chained ... Know the power of your tape light

3. Your TV wattage

4. Total number of lights and how many you want on at a given time

5. CFL i.e. energy savers are different from LED bulbs, kindly note

With the above, I am sure many others will give you their own inputs too.

Passion8:
Oga GeorgeD1, I salute you sir. I'm encouraged by the way you made it clear on this post.
Concerning the load I wish to power with the solar, it's a 3bedroom flat. I just wanted to power the lights which are all energy saving including hidden tape lights in the P.O.P ceiling plus electronics i.e tv and two standing fans. That's all.

Yes oo,

That's why you keep them away from your sensitive equipments

temizeee:
wow … so Na square wave this thaine dey produce so….lol

I understand you are trying to cut cost and all but have you tried saving up for the GX devices, a VENUS with no display will go a long way especially forbyour home automation, the options you mentioned earlier will only give a temporary solution

netotse:
Hi Guys,

I'm trying to decide which one would be better for my Multiplus, a VE.bus bluetooth dongle or a MK3 USB cable
I'm thinking of integrating the multiplus into Home Assistant and I'm also penny pinching.

It seems configuration ability is limited with the bluetooth dongle but the disadvantage of the cable is that it has to be connected to change settings and also get data, not sure which would be a better option.

If there's anyone that has a spare MK3 cable I wouldn't mind.
