Can you kindly share their pics, so you don't have to buy another.
Or you can also call the number above to get what you may need

ernie4life:
I bought two from Aliexpress, I don't think they are good, I may need to buy new ones.

Tochex101:
Lagos...Amuwo Odofin precisely

Awesome! Once back from my work trip I will be in touch to set a date.

BTW what fishing gears do you have presently?

ernie4life:
Works for me

I have a local guy who sells and also a foreigner who owns a tackle shop ... But local guy is easy to beat price down

What part of the country are you in?

Tochex101:
Best thread in a while.....where can one get a fishing rod locally...
I spend my idle time on tiktok watching great fishing videos.

Okay! I am in Lagos and I sometimes fish from the rocks off the beach or local boat cruise with a two or three guys trolling along the ocean

If these places are okay by you, we can set a date

ernie4life:
Anywhere interesting

I do!

Where do you have in mind?

ernie4life:
Who wants to go fishing?

Oh! I see.
Call your installer to have the grid the added for you.

Olarewajub:
Thanks for the response.

Apparently, my installer put me in deep shit.

My set up is off grid.

This will easily be in the 3.5 - 5.x mil range.

depending on the complexity of your site and taste.

Kaybthaniels:
Thanks for the response boss, I apprciate... How much did this whole set up cost roughyly?

5KVA INVERTER
8 UNITS OF 600W CANADIAN
8 RITAR BATTERIES OF 150Ah
BREAKERS
SURGE PROTECTORS
BATTERY COMBINERS BOX
OTHER NEEDED ACCESSORIES

Kaybthaniels:
Very neat boss, What's the breakdown of this setup if you don't mind sharing ... looking to set up something soon for my house.

You can try Daikin, LG, Panasonic and a few other local ones ..... be sure to use a space calculator to know the type of AC will best fit your needs, so you don't oversize

isangjohnson:
I need 1hp and 2hp inverter AC. Olopan said 1hp inverter AC is 480w while 2hp is 2100w. Please, what is the name of these products?
Does anyone here have better options? I'm more interested in energy efficient products as I intend to run them on solar.

The indicator are not exactly a pointer to watch out for for Addo, you will noticed that the indicator goes up and down with grid power, you should watch out for the the 3 stages of charging right by the battery bars you described.

if it gets to FLT or float then it is full

Olarewajub:
Any one with experience with the ADDO Opal Home inverter?

Mine doesn't seem to charge pass the two mark as shown in the attached image.

Assuming your setup is only planned to be used at night while it charge solely with solar and no load during the day time, then i can say

you need 800 - 900W of solar

bsideangel:
@all How many solar panels do I need to charge up a 24V 100amps battery assuming I want to go off-grid completely.

Strongly suggest that you first figure these out
1. Hours you plan to run the ac at daytime and at night time
2. will the inverter be grid connected
3. will any other load be attached.

if you can answer these questions, then you are gradually building up a case to your solution.

Good evening all,
I was so disturbed by this extremely hot weather that i want to finally get solution. Please i want to buy 1HP inverter air conditioner and use solar to be powering it. what capacity and type of battery, inverter, panel and charge controller should i go for? just to power the air conditioner only. Thank you.

Yes, new one.

what brand of 5kva victron?

Functionalsol:
Does anyone have 5kva Victron inverter for sale?

The output of a MSW inverter is square like in nature meaning it transmit noise together with it, making your appliances to burn more energy and converting the not so good part of the sine wave to heat and noise of Frequency which is noticeable with fans.

dacool1:
Good evening House, why would same load consume different energy/power when using different brands of inverters?

I have a PSW inverter and a MSW inverter which I alternate. I discovered that the consumption of my battery using the PSW is more efficient. Initially, I thought it was the MSW inverter using up the excess energy but I was surprised when I measured the (output) energy usage while connecting the same load while using the modified sine wave inverter the energy used by the same LOAD (output) on the PSW. The energy used by the load while on the MSW is twice of the energy used when on the PSW.

I want to personally say thank you to members of this forum for always trusting us at Rendezvous Solar for their project installation.

There is always a different story for everyone and working to your standard has always been what keeps us going, knowing that we meet your satisfaction.

A recent project delivered all the way south Nigeria.

There are always choice to make when it comes to setup like this

for inverter there is a choice to go for all in one system AKA Hybrid DEYE, GROWATT, AXPERT, SRNE or a normal separate inverter VICTRON, ANY OTHER INVERTER with torodial transformers and match it up with other necessary accessories

your estimated energy is in the range of 53KWh and above with matching panels that can pump that battery up daily in good sunlight.

ElRazur:
Guys abeg, I need your help and clear advise - preferably from those in the know.

I urgently need to set up 10Kva solar system and I need your advice abeg.

My needs are simple: power 2 inverter AC at least for 24 hours. Lights and TV, occasional water pump use.

I have narrowed things down to using LiFePo4 batteries due to have a longer use life, but picking a reputable brand seem to be a minefield. I'm leaning towards Felicity but I am not even sure anymore due to all I have read about them etc. Please advice.

It depends on what your preferences is
1. if you own a prepaid meter with a stable power predictable grid supply then you might want to maximize you solar production to squeeze more from your solar panels. so any deficient during the day you refill at peak time of grid supply

2. if without prepaid then maximize grid usage as this will ensure that battery is in constant close to being full daily without worry of downtime as the sun is there to backup.

osayuwamwen:
My inverter support nepa charging is it advisable to be using grid power wen available or only be charging through solar panel as my battery is still currently new

While these test may look authentic, it is important to know that the sun do not give out 1000W/m2 except in rare cases

when this test was performed, if the solar irradiance was confirmed and then used for said calculation can we then decide what fate the panels really are in.

Based on our weather conditions, you can not do 100% of your nameplate.

Valto:
someone bought felicity 175w panel and after a perfect tilt, was only able to get 101w at peak of sun.

Reason for almost half of your generation is based on a few things
1. your charge controller max. output at 12V
2. What condition is your panel installed in? if all boxes are ticked then averagely you will get a 560 - 500W production from the sun.

osayuwamwen:
Your own is even better, This is the highest I have generated sofar from a two 400watt panel, total of 800watt panel, just a mere 416watt in a very sunny day

One of major setback that i can see from this your panel installation is there is no spacing between the roof and the panel.

To fix this, there is a need for removal to have an profile placed under the panels of at least 1 inch for air flow under the panel.

papiTwist:
Thanks for your response,

Honestly I didn’t check the panels individually.
The panels are positioned East-West and facing due north. I couldn’t get it to face due south because of the roof orientation.

There is no shading at all. In fact the panel receives quality sunlight between about 7:30am - 5:30pm.


See attached pix

I have been running a experiment to confirm if truly fridges run at 8 - 10 hours daily, energy wish.

this statement is confirmed to be true.

Test equipment
204L Midea fridge 2 door fridge of 80 - 110W power
220Vac up time 99.97%
full stocked freezer compartment
half filled fridge compartment

Result
Full power draw for 5 hours straight - with doors completely shut off.
compressor then shuts off between 30, 45, and 1hr interval
the pattern is not regular

but i am sure if a system is designed to run a fridge for 24 hrs, a fridge operating this way will fit just right.

3.450M, These is with lithium battery and a tier 2 solar panel with a normal hybrid inverter with no special feature and other carefully selected protective equipments.

Kaybthaniels:
Hello Bosses, I am looking to set up a system enough to power 1 1.5 hp inverter AC, Fridge/Freezer, 10 bulbs , 2 55inch led tv , 2 laptops, wifi router and two fans for at least 10-12hours, How much would a setup like this (Solar panels, Power Inverter, Batteries, Monitors/meters, Cables/wires) cost me?, Just a rough estimate, I am not looking for the cheapest brands out there but i am also not going for the costlier ones, just something in between that will work for the above and will last long, I appreciate your inputs.

nice one, what out for the inverter though the max power it can handle is around 800W - 900W and its idle consumption is not bad 12W

osayuwamwen:
Finally installed my 1.5kva solar system

Glad things didn't go out of hand and as everyone else has contributed.

i will strongly suggest that you do a careful review of your inverter logs i.e. if you can access them over the internet and see what could have happen moments before the fire started.

keep safe

chris81964:
Small fire wan spoil my show today oh.

Wishing you all a happy new month.

Remember to check your safety devices to be sure they are still in operational conditions, as the raining season begins.

Thank you

In case you have an issue or need guidance with your system, you can reach out.

mrsage:
Nice

I need an original midnite 300V DC surge protector.

If you have it Kindly quote or message me directly via contact on profile

The system earlier posted has been sold off

Implication in this case is simpler drawing lesser power from the system

Also it is clearly stated on the inverter body 5kva/3500W.... Take this with a pinch of salt, either it was tested or written. Can't remember.

Peterlove11:
What's the implications of power factor. Always thought power factor is majorly determined by the load not the inverter

It has a power factor of 0.7

Meaning you have 3500W inverter.

Bb007:
Please who has used Kartel wall mounted inverter, I am about to get the 5kva, Any reviews

The concept of avoiding placing a wet cell battery in the house is to avoid safety risks e.g. explosion from the mixture of hydrogen & oxygen when exposed to spark, especially in an enclosed unventilated environment.

What this fan will do I.e. if two units of it
Intake and extract .... Is to ensure at point of operation you have little to no gas buildup.

So it gets a pass from me.

contease:
Greetings everyone...



So to makeup for the heat up, I had to install a fan that serves as an extractor and I could tell, the temperature therein is pleasing...

Does anyone have any objection to the whole concept please...
