[quote author=samnaija post=134849201][/quote]Yes,lead is still the most used but believe me it is out of ignorance and because some installers don't want to move to the brighter side of life

Am trying hard. I dont sell batteries like you.
I am full diy, not a marketer like you .I still say it from my personal opinion nothing wrong with lead battery , size it properly. And i will still say ,it sells the most on Nigeria.
Boss,that sizing is the issue. In can guarantee you one or 2 of your batteries will soon die.In fact ,sizing that amount of leaf acid is not advisable.They will go out of balance and die in no time.I agree that people still sell it but in reality now,LFP is cheaper compared to lead and better.I have tasted it small and coming from lead acid,the difference is .................

Nobody even answer me coz it doesn't involve money and they have nothing to gain.

Na real wah for we Nigerians.

Weytin be the essence of this thread then?
Guy take am easy. Almost everyone here are busy professionals and not necessarily sales or inverter guru. We share from experience.

As per your questions, it will help if you post the name of the inverter I know there are some inverters that only charge with grid when they are inverting,that is if you switch off the inverter they will not charge.

Avoid such inverter at all cost!

I hope this helps!

I was already using Kartel 5kva inverter but it got spoiled, so I want to change it. I was told Felicity are china product, so they are not as strong as Su-kam which are Indian products. (I also read that Su-kam work load is higher than Felicity)

I'm currently using
380watts 10panel
4 tubular battery
Felicity 100amps

It's the Kartel inverter that spoiled and I want to change it.

I will just go ahead and buy the Felicity 5kva 48v inverter Non hybrid base on your recommendation.

Thanks
Better to just buy a hybrid inverter.I believe 5kva 48v Felicity cannot be less than 500k.I am sure with that same amount or just a little top up you will get Growatt as @Mrreed suggested

But Kartel has a service centre in Lagos.I think somewhere in Ogba, except you are just keen on changing though because I know their inverter too is not cheap

Good morning, please I need your recommendation in choosing between

Felicity 5kva 48v inverter and Su-kam 5kva 48v inverter.

Thanks
Felicity will allow you programme charge voltage et al on the inverter and suitable with LFP.Except you have the Sukam before nobody buys those kind of inverters again if you are going LFP battery way.In fact if you are just buying,there are other brands depending on budget that you could consider: Welion,Sako,SMS,Growatt etc.In fact,I think Felicity price is in same range with Growatt sef for the 5kva price wise. You know Felicity is quite expensive.

Darey00:
good morning people,

I see now that tubular batteries are a no-no especially on here grin grin

so my question is this: is there a cheap lithium battery i can buy to replace tubular 200ah 12v one when it needs replacement?

Its only 4 months old and doing well but I want to upgrade to a litium one when the time comes.

is it possible to see for 300k or lower?
Yes ,with 300k you will get good grade A LFP 12.8v 1.28kw which is equivalent in capacity to 12v 200ah tubular but better because you can discharge to 90% with no effect on battery.But considering your tubular is just 4months old,I guess you will still enjoy it for at least 3 years if you do not discharge beyond 50% capacity and charge back immediately after use .

temi4fash:
Are this hybrid inverters very reliable?
It's a new brand that just came into the market.I don't know about reliability but I want to believe since they are new entrants,the quality might still be okay. If you are not going for the likes if Growatt,SRNE,Victron ,etc,I want to believe every other brand is in the same bracket. I might be wrong though.

Mrreed:
That is the retail price. I bought the 4.2kva for 340k from Alaba on Wednesday
Bros thank you. I just ignored because it amazes me how people openly want to extort people on a platform that isn't a sales thread. A lot of people on this platform join to see how they can commence their renewable energy journey with reasonable cost and yet some Shylock will brazenly come here and post these outrageous prices.

I know its retail price but I just ignored him ni!

Wait wait wait ooo, is this for compele system or parts? I mean cells, bms, cashing.. All all be coupled already? Also one will to need to order, pay for shipment and wait 3mths as well..?

If yes make i waka go meet una local vendor jejely 😔 🚶 🚶 🚶
I am not sure the wait is up to 3 months. Perhaps people who have experienced it can share their experience. But I think if you look at the prices of some of the batteries,the wait is well worth it! For instance, 25.6v 100 ah 2.5kw going for less than #390k for up to 2 units. I think the cheapest we have seen here is Joykoo from zeestone @ #520k,followed by Cworth @ #555k

Good day everyone, I a trying to do a small solar set up, of 1kva 12v inverter with 100ah lithium battery with 2pcs of 400w trina solar panel.
So far here is what my research has givinge
Cworth 100ah 12v battery 300k
Panel 70k each
Inverter tasha energies 1kva 180k
I will like to know of this product are good or if there are better ones or better pricing I could go for? Thanks



I can see from this thread that cworth should be cheaper than that where get it cheaper? I should mention that I am not located in lagos I am in Osun State

Thanks
Cworth 12v 100 ah is 177k not #300k.No.let them.whyne you, according to Dam5reey!

Problems of LifePO4 when it floods the market (e.g Alaba) in the future:
1. Mismatched cells
2. Unbalanced cells
3. Swollen cells
4. Fake installed bms
5. Worn out terminals
6. Imitations
7. High price of bench chargers ( for top balancing)
8. Shops where top balancing will be carried out for a fee.

All will come in sealed attractive boxes.

DIY will likely be embraced as the best alternative as it will guarantee what you see vs what you get. No stories.

Brace up!!? grin grin grin
You sure e never flood the market? You will be shocked at the different types.Same thing is happening with Hybrid inverter now

Even then, unless I'm sure I'm getting Grade A or close for 555k, I'd rather go with this below:

The cheaper, the better.
If you are looking for cheaper the better,then @Mrreed posted his 25.6v 2.5kw for #420k, with Grade A Gotion cells if you do not mind wooden box.

Na Hustle, man needs like 1M sales to buy Lambo.. grin

dem say based on trust, we should continue to get cheated.

Cause the Company is happy to sell at 555k to end user, 535k to Suppliers level 1 and even cheaper at level 2.
It's outright cheating and insensitivity to our intelligence. How can someone be so bold enough to post such ridiculous price when several people have listed the right price. Like someone observed earlier,this is a DIY thread,to encourage people free access to information and cheaper means of getting their renewable energy set up,not for some Shylock to come and drain people.

They are the marketers so, whatever they say stands...their China rep don't even give any information except telling you to contact Armstrong their manager...
You are right.I got the price list from the China guy.To give me office location in Lagos after that he went mute!

Will look for the address for you but you can't locate it easily and will need to call Armstrong....


Any one who wants to buy 2.5kwh should let me know so that we can buy together cos the Armstrong guy said end users price is 590k but bulk purchase is 555k...
He is a thief. I posted the price earlier. Unit price is #555k, from 3 upward is #530k.I don't know why they hoard their address. I am not interested in their battery yet,if not I go locate their Lagos office by fire by force

That is the thing as you hardly go straight to 48v starting bc it is not cheap.

This more cable of a thing is overly exaggerated though.

Certain things are just left private than public. In this solar journey, everyone gat his style.

Go for what works best.

But which will you go for between 200ah 12v and 48v 50ah?
You are very correct.I remember I started with 1kva 12v.Everyone started small except the big boys grin.I just upgraded to a 48v and got a 48v50ah LFP since the set up is primarily to power my fridge and freezer and occasionally microwave when there is no power. Now I still dey find money to get either a 36v or 24v LFP to power all other things as it was before the upgrade

I have some questions regarding the 12v lithium batteries on this list. The 1.3kwh here is less than 200k while most other vendors 100ah 12v lithium battery and even the Powmr 100ah lithium battery sells for around 280-300k

Aren't they all lithium batteries?
Dam5reey did a review on both cworth and Powmr. Go watch it but summary is it comes down to the quality of cell used

Solar is like your salary spend it wisely.
If you look at your neighbour's discharge loads, you may end up burnt.

We all earn differently and hence plan accordingly before the next pay.

While you wonder how others manage their loads effectively, check within you if you actually waste energy.

It goes beyond plenty pv on the roof and watthour of battery. Do you actually need such?

Your sizeable pv gets ur battery full in minutes but no load to run. Infact you hardly hit 13.1v and as such your battery stays in an unhealthy voltage for months thereby depreciating its lifespan.

Size up satisfactorily out of want and need if you chose to.
You have spoken well.The first question is what is your need? Do you require to be totally off grid or just enough watts hour to avoid using generator.

For me now I am not totally off grid. I enjoy 16- 18 hours of power supply and just need enough to power me all through the night to avoid using generator in the event of no power.

my daily usage 300w-385w during the day except when using kitchen gadgets and cleaning gadgets, and 160w at night except when playing games
Considering conversion losses and the fact that one can't be sure of the true capacity of the cell,it's still fair.

It gets to 28.2v then drops immediately to 27v (according to someone here, that's the floating charge).... When it stops charging at about 18:30 within an hour it drops to 26.1v (but it will be on 26.1v for 4hrs with 2tv's, soundbar, 2 laptops, humidifier and few light points on) shut down all appliances by 00:00 with just a light point on and in the morning it's on 25.5v.... If pes is on then 25.7v when turned off by 00:00...

I complained to them that it was discharging but they said it's normal and battery is fine...

In all, no other complain, been managing it judiciously...
Wow! It means it drops to 20% state of charge based on the load. I guess your load should be around 500watrs.If so,then its fair.

Wow...and he was telling me 590k...I bought my first battery directly from him, messaged him yesterday for another and he said 590k when the price is 555,000...

I noticed my first purchase he didn't send receipt with the order and when I found out and insisted, he said it's an electronic invoice which took him 2 days to generate... As at last year he sold it to me for 620k...
