The GUI of these BMS with parameters display is quite easy to understand and yet detailed. NiyiOmoIyunade: |

Let's assume you are to work or using this device as the owner designed it i.e. laptop, phone charging, DC fans, lights then you can get it for a solar journey but anything more than then it is not a good buy, because the storage is small i.e. looking like a 30Ah battery and YES! the 200W panel if used together with this will serve you in the future when used with a 100Ah lead battery felaliveson: |

Please if you are seeing this and we spoke sometimes late last year on your solar project in Abuja, i didn't forget you ......... in fact your contact was misplaced when my phone was stolen .......... please try to reach out again |

Seplos works great, its features are quite astounding, especially the parallel features and the comms and was planning to implement and see it work with a member but lost his contacts months ago due to phone theft ..... tsiriman: |

Let's assume your budget no dey shift and again your looking to make your equipments future upgradeable and expandable 1. A 3KVA 24V Hybrid Inverter - @Iygeal has one at dirty cheap price, being a season member, i am sure some months of performance can be guaranteed 180,000 ....... Future expansion compactible 2. 300W solar panels x 4 pieces for basic, 1800W is needed ideally while considering efficiency of solar panels and your loads been active 232,000 ... Or you can try the Tokunbo panels, if you into it. ....... Future expansion compactible 3. Flooded lead 12V 220Ah battery with 2 year warranty (Different varieties abound) - 240,000 At this stage now, you approximately have 48,000 or less 4. Battery rack, Solar PV cables, AC cable (shorter distance <5 yards, roof sealant, aluminum profile, mounting accessories all should finish the balance 5. With no "balance of system" i.e. SPD, circuit breaker, et. cetera needed are not yet considered 6. With a service charge for your installer and transport from your seller to your abode. IMHO, you will need more than 700k to complete this job, but then again if you can mount or do it all yourself ......... then you save at lot of cash. BTW a more cheaper option is to swap the inverter to hybrids like schneider electric 1500VA with PWM inbuilt controller, it will free up some cash for you, but it is not really future load expandable but you will at least have power at the needed time which is now.

It is important that the load side is looped I.e. L-L, N-N, so that if grid or inverter is present ...only the active side switched to the device feeds out. aniplus:

Good morning forum, Please i need your brilliant ideas, a recently installed inverter doesn't have bypass when switched off making some circuit to have impartial voltage. Please anyone with an idea of a DIY auto changeover of 10-16A that can be use to bridge the gap of Grid/Inverter when in off state? I'd appreciate every input. Thanks |

Since all loads are DC, going for those Lithium mini packages is your best bet ....... this way you get the provided solar panel accessories thehy will provide and also the AC charger packages too ...... and your loads will still be taken care off if need be for AC extension then adding a 120W mini inverter could light up your bulbs.

Not with a manual but this is worth a shot 1. long press the middle button at either the main display or at display of desired menu and long press 2. use the up & down to select to the needed numbers and long press again to set the new figures Allem: |

The solar panels are little to charge your batteries effectively, you will need a 600W panel to do the job right but then, if you have a steady grid supply then go for it, as price is fair. Also to note is absence of circuit breaker & SPD, but it is expected for such price margin. @Terrymason what are you looking to get? karferguso: |

A quick wade into your scenario, your AC - use only with grid power your freezer - 270W x 6 hrs = 1,620Wh [ day time] your fridge - 180W x 6 hrs = 1,080Wh [ day time] only one TV at a time - 120W x 8 hrs =960Wh [ 360Wh/day time & 600Wh/night] your laptop - 70W x 6hrs = 420Whr light and phone charging 7 hours - 70W x 7Wh = 490Whr night usage = 1,990Whr Inverter size & battery - 1.5KVA 24V 200Ah solar panel size - 2400Wp of PV panels if you work within this sphere of calculations and with grid power supply, you can have 247 power supply & also your fridge and freezer are governed by a timer plug/switch oliverwrites: 2 Likes |

Good evening @ GeorgeD1 & Bigrovar I couldn't quote the lengthy message Many of the arguments made earlier are true, I have had so many discussion with my roofers friends and people with homes or looking to build their homes that having a flat roof is best in case you plan solar to be used in the future but their response has always been in line of "send down the rain" roof types will always keep the inside of a house cool in hot days. While their is always a win-lose situation to life ... Going with gives more win is a win-win in my book especially when ot comes to flat roofs. Like a an esteem member here planned for such a scenario like this and his enjoying his setup. |

A quick insight to your project To lay it bare, your appliances are not efficient even if you try to manage it, they won't help at the long run & a quote will look bogus for these little setup Proffered solutions, if possible when choosing to go solar 1. If a 12V TV with adapter can be used ... It will be a great alternative 2. Forget the fridge use it only with Grid supply 3. Use only TV speaker, forget the speaker too 4. Don't have idea of the bulbs but since it is a room, changing them to 5 or 3 watts and using only two at a go will go a long way to minimize yoir setup 5. If you can get them DC fan of 30W max. That will be good for your setup 6. Say your neighbor have 3 lamps to charge i.e. 9W x 3 and phone charging say 12W x 4 phones. That's 18W + 48W =66W for say three(3) hour period - 198Wh ( when you decide to go solar then only a device per person is best allowed) else your battery go hear am. Conclusion With a TV - 60W+ bulbs 10W+ decoder 20W + fan 30W = 120W for 5 hours is a 50% Dod for 100Ah battery So a 1kva 200Ah Solar system with these new aforementioned suggestions, & your 10 hours of GRID supply should keep your going for 24 hours of power with no interruption. (Your neighbor charging wasn't included) hooryo: 2 Likes |

As a contribution to the ongoing solar panel energy production debate, which many with monitoring system can attest to is. For us a rule of thumb, 1. Tier 2 panels are calculated with 0.55% of nameplate or total PV capacity for period of 4 Hours. 2. Tier 1 panels are calculated with 0.65% of nameplate pr total PV capacity for period of 4 Hours If the system is loaded I.e. energy storage and loads then it is expected to see energy production in line with above. This proven true by remote monitoring. Conditions based on a normal sunny day 5 Likes 2 Shares |

You've made very valid points, but it's important to note that even with meters some community have zero to little power in weeks because of abysmal grid supply for such solar minigrid is the way to go. But this is Naija you've got to know someone high up to meet with the job criteria rottennaija: |

While this is good, means to which small to large business can benefit it to work on their model to help underserving communities is left out. What help would a fund you hear about but cant apply for do for an average solar company owner with no big and deep ppcket to lobby it. Sigh! Naija 1 Like 1 Share |

@ajabani4allah & @dollarnaira A quick contribution to your conversation LiFePO4 @ nominal voltage is @3.2V while fully charge at 3.6V - so a 3s/4s is 9.6V/12.8V charging to full voltage will be 10.8V/14.4V While Li-ion @ nominal is 3.7V while fully charged is 4.2V - so a 3s is 11.1V charging to full voltage is 12.6V LiFePO4 is closely related to Lb based batteries when been used with conventional inverters 2 Likes |

Popular place will be solarshop We also sell them too at a fair price through our partnership with the main distributors locally. About the price, you will have to be specific I.e. knowing information like * Depth of well * Water level in well * Height you looking to pump water to et. Cetera will be a factor to suggest which will work for you ... Head roo Keemie: |
