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: House almost on the verge of biting the hybrid inverter bullet which comes with in built mppt charger. so no need to get separate mppt charger.
however my question is do i need to get a separate battery equalizer added to the solar system (its a 48v AGM battery configuration) or is having the "all in one" hybrid inverter enough. |

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. [quote author=Forrkke post=119856720][/quote] |

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: Thanks for the response. The TV is 80w Decoder is 20w
Fan is 80w if you substitute this for a DC fan (10W) from cloud, it will be mighty helpful
Sound system is 60w too if its really necessary to add this then by all means use it, but you can remove it and free up some energy space on your battery.
To be used for about 6 hours during the day and just lightings of less than 20w at night for 6 hours too
This is for during the day while the sun is there because I still have to run a big gen for my freezer at night. |

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: I don't understand the bolded. 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. |
Satellite TV Technology › Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by olopan(m): 5:10pm On Dec 10, 2022 |
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: Why? 400 and what was quoted was 1.8kw yours is 1.5kwp is there any difference |
Satellite TV Technology › Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by olopan(m): 6:29am On Dec 09, 2022 |
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: Please, what are you honest thoughts on this quote? 3.5kva 3kw 24volt Hybrid Inverter Setup + Solar
1. 3kw 24volt Hybrid inverter (80Amps MPPT) = #260,000
2. 12v 220AH battery 2pcs = #165,000 x 2 = #310,000 (Tubular battery)
3. 300watts Solar panels 6pieces (1.8kw) = #75,000 x 9 = #600,000
4. Solar mounting rails on roof and its accessories = #24,000
5. AC & DC Cables = #90,000
6. AC and DC breakers, MC4 connectors, Trunking, breaker box, Input AVS, DC Surge, ChangeOver. = #50,000

FEGEITOK: Your point is that the one with the IR sensor may be more expensive to deploy, but less expensive to run. Yes! Due to how frequent it comes on. Thanks.
What's the wattage of the one you use? 20W & 50W
And how much area does it cover? Up to 9m for 20W & 12 -15m for 50W
For the front does 1 do? or do you use 2? Depending on how big your frontage or area to be covered is.
Thanks so much for sharing. |
Satellite TV Technology › Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by olopan(m): 9:10am On Dec 08, 2022 |
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: Hello,
I need help verifying this setup plan..
I have a 115w chest freezer 13 12w akt bulbs 320w blender (won't be used everyday) Pumping machine 1hp Washing machine (will get soon - I am guess 400w) Charging phones and laptop
For this load..
I want to setup a completely off grid solar installation..
- 24v 3.5kva Novel hybrid inverter - Five 400w solar panels - 24v 270ah LiFePo4 batteries
Please let me know if this setup is okay..
I am open to recommendations of better products to buy and from who to buy..
Please recommend best product and from whom to buy.. Thanks.. |

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? FEGEITOK: Please more details.

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: Yingli sell rebranded? |
Satellite TV Technology › Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by olopan(m): 6:17am On Nov 13, 2022 |
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: Unless u don't buy ur items ursef. Every item inside that paper is expensive. Just last week I called a supplier for 3.5kva inverter with AC charger n she said it's 185k. 2.5kva is around 145k. N it not even a transformerless inverter. That charge controller he won use nah those regular pwm. Brand new panel 300w in alaba is 74k. Yingli own is around 76 I can go on and on. Dey try enter market n know price. Nobi weitin people tell u u go believe everytime. |
Satellite TV Technology › Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by olopan(m): 6:13am On Nov 13, 2022 |
From my own viewit 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: Please, house is this a good configuration to buy?

Satellite TV Technology › Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by olopan(m): 12:34pm On Nov 10, 2022 |
@ 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: You are pushing your system to know it's weakness, that is how you will eventually have a better system.
First and foremost 48v system is more reliable than 24v system. If the system is new add extra battery to make it 48v.
Fence light and flood lights, all on why? To avoid issues with security lights , I got the solar security light . They are even brighter and they are timed to come on , at sun down. They become dim when there is no movement around your compound, but bright once it senses movement.
Your fridge, whether it is a low energy consumption or high is a big no for 24hrs use. Personally I will go for a deep freezer low consumption, use through out the day, on solar, switch it off by 5 or 6pm. The chill within the freezer can carry you to next day you continue story . I got rid of my big fridge, when I noticed issues. In renewable energy, live like a king when the sun is up, avoid unnecessary load at night. Also change your charge controller. |

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: Good morning professionals...
Please... I need the professionals input on this...
I intend going for lifepo4 (to be used with light appliances, no freezer, no pumping machines, no iron.... Just the bulb light, tv, sound system, phone charging, fan and blender to blend occasionally).
I already installed; 2*200W panel 1pcs 30a epever tracer 3210A(the old model) 12v 850Va nexus inverter.
I will mostly be using the system in the night till daybreak from Monday-Saturday.... And use day and night on Sundays...
So my questions are;
1. What sise of lifepo4 battery do I really need? 2. What are those things do I need to replace or change to meet up my proposed new set up? 3. What are those things I really need to upgrade?
I want an everlasting and reliable set up as the former set with 2*100ah smf battery nva lasted a year.
@Ojeysky @Valto @Earthrealm @Justcallmenuel @Penuelseun @Fegeitok @Kiekie1 @Ojey Thanks as I much expect your positive response. |

Satellite TV Technology › Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by olopan(m): 7:52pm On Oct 05, 2022 |
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: Nice. Can a wall hanger (the type used to hang AC radiators) carry it? What is the total weight of the unit pls? @Valto |
Satellite TV Technology › Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by olopan(m): 5:39pm On Oct 05, 2022 |
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.

Satellite TV Technology › Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by olopan(m): 5:26pm On Oct 05, 2022 |
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. Ikiriye: Longevity especially |

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: Good morning guys.
Is anyone here using a Victron smartshunt? I need to know if it can be connected to an inverter to provide the inverter with details such as temps and an accurate SOC for the connected battery
If it can, then I'll be looking to buy one so please let me know if you have for sale too |
Satellite TV Technology › Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by olopan(m): 1:58pm On Sep 27, 2022 |
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: Thanks for the feedback and your time bro |
