AGM batteries don't require equalization only Tubular batteries does except it is those black external things for each battery you referring to here. mangolpupa: |

Bro if you can safely remove the diode that's faulty, check the info e.g. IN368 - Google search it and download the pdf file. Them head to your local hardware store and buy equivalent diode that fits the voltage and current curve of the present diode. you should be good..... also better to snap the diode before removing to ensure that your replacing it back to the original position.

Ideal solution will be 500VA Indian Inverter 30A PWM solar charge controller 100Ah lead acid or lithium battery 150W x 2 solar panel A fair price can be used to have it constructed. i am sure many others can chip in their ideas to help you out. longyemi: |

I will have loved to recommend my company but for the sake of picking the best fit for your needs Can you give a brief summary of what needs to be powered so that you can get contribution from experienced hands before settling for your choice Installations are never with static design and sometimes requires unique design to fit your exact needs for desired result. fizzyf4: 1 Like |

NoC - means "Normal operating operating conditions" This is what your solar panel would deliver in real life ... And so for your 1800Wp panels quoted, it will average 1KWp +/- So if your pump is on, yojr battery js needed to support. Pojomojo:Lastly for your panels if you do 400W+ it will be helpful especially for your pump, as even 400W x 6 = around 1.5KWp under NoC. 4 Likes |

400W was suggested due to his pumping machine to at least get enough power from the sun to the pump directly when needed without taking from the battery. And a 2400W would average 1500Wp +/- depending on the available irradiance of the sun. Hope this helps? IyaTola: |

These are my personal thoughts 1. The quote has the barest minimum materials for the installation to work on paper 2. The prices quoted would get you average products, not that they are not good, just preference. 3. Ensure you know the exact warranty on each products .... Just to be save. 4. Lastly for your panels if you do 400W+ it will be helpful especially for your pump, as even 400W x 6 = around 1.5KWp under NoC. Pojomojo: |

For your setup, 50% of your loads are On & Off so that makes sense. But I will suggest going for 6 pieces of 400W (Jinko, JA, Canadian, ERA, Yingli) Assuming your inverter is a wide PV input inverter For your battery reach out to Valto or a jos guy mentioned several times here.... You are sure to get warranty on the batteries. You can call me with regards to having your setup built to standard, that suits your budget. My Contact is on signature hayo15: 2 Likes |

Good morning! The mureva lights are divided into three types and they come looking aethesic and of low energy consumption with a good brightness to go with it. One stands out of all, which is the one with IR sensor. You set it to work without human interference and to also act as a security light by coming on or off using its ssensors. Hope this helps?

No! they don't but i don't know your source but my source don't even sell that low and only 450W is the only one available and is the real deal thing. Jefferyzz: |

Watch out for those panel prices you are calling, it be a shame that you are been sold a clone or rebranded panels for the price stated. These your prices don't reflect present reality. Jefferyzz: 3 Likes |

From my own view it is a small setup for Basic loads like light, TV, Fan and phone charging While it features a Lithium battery it is design to be discharged sparingly for times when the grid is down for short time so you can have power to run above mentioned loads. Also note that no solar panel is included but a 2000W inverter, 100Ah 12V lithium battery, 30A MPPT controller and a 5A 12V charger So in conclusion, it is a good buy if you stay abroad with a stable grid. Hope this helps. demandtruth: |

if you can get hold of these pictures share them here for more advice 1. the sticker on one of the CCTV 2. The sticker on your DVR i.e. if used 3. The power supply 4. your fencing security apparatus too. All these is to ensure you get the best even out of little. Below is an example of what to look out for. Nero2424:

Why not go for the PowMr sold locally and via a member here, the newer brand even has a wider voltage range. better than sourcing abroad. haslaw: |

@ toyeoye In addition to this, i will recommend schneider "Mureva Floodlight" they are quite versatile and can be on but without light, can perform a lot of function. you read up more of them to get better understanding. samnaija: |

Good morning Guys, i will be hosting a Twitter space on saturday, it is basically a how to guide/education on what to expect, what frame of mind is needed before shelling out some cash to avoid mistakes of having an improperly designed solar system. I hope to see some of us that may be chanced to grace the event and share their thoughts so that everybody pick a few newer ideas to take away. I will be joined by Sintolord, trippledot and bigbrovar on the space. Don't miss out! See you this weekend, Don't forget to set your reminder.

In addition to what valto said If you can list out your usage pattern, it will go a long way to decide what works best. dbshaywhy: |

I don't know what load bearing of those AC outdoor support are but I am not sure it can bear it considering the weight should be close to 100KG+ You might need to do something DIY and the wall been very strong too. Else placing it on the ground would be the way to go. coldcandy: 1 Like |

I'd like to commend Valto for his thoughtful ideas in his business, the battery box done for a 280Ah used for a member here was quite rugged and robust in it's structure. No rickety sounds, all joint very solid and no gap for large particles of dust to enter. It even held up to 60+ kg body weight and it withstood such heavy weights of the battery, all i can say is well done to him. This is my review of his build, and the circult breaker used was sized appropriately. 14 Likes

As valto has said earlier, you should take these things seriously as they add little complications to a system. If you are an installer recommending brands like DEYE with 5 years, Growatt with two years or even victron with transformers, if your pocket carry am would go a long way to help you achieve your goals.

You will need between 2.2kva 24V inverter - 3kva 24/48V inverter. Just as someone as advised if you can give an estimate of how their usage is in hours during the day and also night time, then it will a long way to briefly give you what will match your needs justified007: |

First the smarshunt allows info to be transmitted via cable "V.E Direct" and also bluetooth The alternate integration different from its native use is via Econcms used on rasberry pi and Hybrid Axpert variant inverters, my knowledge of its use is limited but i believe you can get it to do lots more anyways, especially the SoC based on certain set parameters. In case you get to solve this before i do based on info above, kindly reach out to get a hold of the smartshunt MontyNG: |

NiyiOmoIyunade has already said it in a more simpler term, from the cable sizing to choice of inverter, charge controller and a few other things require that the system be reviewed. Probably the inverter was randomly oversized, with knowledge learnt here so far, i think it is comprehensible to help try a DIY audit by noting nameplate of appliances to be used and if these seems out of your deep you can try the link in my signature, it might be of help to you. toyeoye: |
