Good afternoon guys….so I’m new to this solar stuff and even though I have read many of the pages o still couldn’t find what I want..hopefully someone will help me.

A friend sold me his old 1.2kva luminous eco volt inverter because he’s upgrading…his batteries are dead so I only got the inverter..

I dont like this tubular batteries and one installer said I can’t use lithium battery with this 1.2kva inverter that I will have to get another inverter….

So what do you think?

Can’t I truly use this inverter with lithium battery? I plan to charge more with solar panels though and perhaps once in a while use the grid since the inverter can charge battery….true at the back of the inverter,,no selection for lithium battery….



Please don’t ignore me …I don’t have money for another inverter o.

I don't think it's just about cost. There are DIY enthusiasts too, I see nothing wrong with it.

I can say we have a kind of lazy culture in Nigeria. In most advanced countries like the US for instance, some basic mechanic, plumbing, electrical and carpentry jobs are done DIY. A man is supposed to be handy so there is nothing wrong in showing interest or suggesting someone try DIY.

It's fun as long as you know your limits and don't mess with high voltage

Trippledots:
For PV over voltage?? 😳

What's the advice for this haisic 30kw battery bosses

I'm going off grid totally

Ofejiro20:
Good morning guys. I just bought 6 sets of jinko 715w panels but lately I heard the jinko 615w is more better than the jinko 715w panels. Is the true because the installers will be coming today to install them?

I'm thinking of changing all 6 jinko 715w panel to 615w. I need your opinion guys

Edrizz:
My people abeg who has handy information of the power consumption of a typical 1hp air conditioner (non inverter models)

Conversion of 1hp to wattage is around 749watt but some 1hp air conditioner n even 1hp pumping machine consume as high as 1kw+, the thing no con clear again

Abruptly:
thank you very much litewriter, do you have the model number so I can look it up, are you using a hybrid inverter?

I will appreciate input from other people, please.

PS: about the folks who found my reveal funny, you people will not understand when someone is breaking small small yoke

Abruptly:
good morning good people, I am going to be the first in my family to own a washing machine so I want clarification, those using washing machine, what's the best product that washes and "dry" the clothes and how many kw inverter are you using to power it. bassdow, dollsrnaira

Gshems:
try the hard way and lose almost 300k worth of panels because of a wrong advice? Life no bẹ like that. We have to look out for each other

teejx13:
I get you boss. Thanks for the concern and warnings.

I think it's important to be aware of risks in anything we are doing.
That's why I came to ask instead of just taking what people have said and running to market to buy and connect.

Gshems:
leave him ó. Your panel go break before you reach house

dollarnaira:
How did you start?
How did I start?
You build knowledge...okay?

Why you carry this thing for head sef?
How is this your problem?

All you see is just negative not a process to knowledge.

bassdow:
Funny enough, You and @dollarnaira are both RIGHT. just depends on what perspective you choose to view things.

e get things wey I dey use, we I no fit do for someone else because e sure me say na recipe for wahala. BUT what @dollarnaira suggested would work even for a novice so long the person who made such suggestion is the actual knowledgeable person that would set things up to avoid said Novice going to copy BUT paste something different. Some chargers out there are cable of getting your batteries pregnant to say the least.

dollarnaira:
Why is your heart like this?
Casing for this kind stage?
Is like you don't just wish him well at all.
Some of you just believe a system won't work without bms.

His set up will look like this with just an active balancer.

teejx13:
Okay. I guess this means the cells will have to be assembled and combined with the balancer.

How will I go about this and the rest of the setup?

teejx13:
Key loads:
Freezer of 110W
Laptop 65W
Phone + Light, Fans, etc 150W

I'm okay with 4-5 hours of backup.

boxypane:
Lots of complicated things out here... You wan kii person daughter. Like Dangote ejaculates that much

Tdoctor:
Please can a 17kwh LFP battery be having voltage sag with a 1.5hp sumo pump? Anytime the pump comes on at night, the inverter trips. Inverter is 15KVA.
Any clues or insight will be appreciated.

harbayyoungesth:
I want to know if anyone has bought batteries from him and how long have they been using it for?

harbayyoungesth:
Good morning, please can any user of valtech batteries kindly assist me in making a decision on valtech 3.6kVa 24v battery

mctfopt:
Abeg which inverter is 160k for 4000w?

ask4bk:
Is there a 12v 280ah?

Mavor:
The vendor I am buying everything from including panels and battery is quoting 640k. I prefer to source everything plus accessories and installation from a single source.

fuckboys:
i never really charge with nepa or gen, I just have it installed in just for the convenience of it.

fuckboys:
i panels are well sized, total of 1680w. My 3.6kwh battery gets filled up before 11am

KudozInteriors:
This is the wattage I got from the panel this afternoon but the inverter was showing 547watts or so.
(NB: I attached picture from shunt below)

And on the day this system was finally installed, I asked the installer why the wattage on that hot afternoon was only 300watts. He said that it’s because that’s what the inverter needed from the sun to both charge the batteries and give me light. He now asked me to add more load to it to see how it behaves. I added more load and it rose up to above 700watts that day. He said if I keep adding more loads, it will keep increasing and taking what it needs to both give me light and charge the batteries. I don’t know if this is true though I saw it with my eyes.

After that day, when they said that the battery has been dying fast because I was charging it at 60ahms instead of 15ahms. The distributor gave him directions on how to reset my inverter and I don’t know what he did reset on it that day.
