earthrealm:
you should have brought this issue/plan to the forum before you paid/reached an agreement with the installer, that way you would have been better informed and thus negotiated better. a 40/45amp cc will serve you, though a 60amp cc is even better and gives you room for expansion ie increase ur panels to 6/1600w

Thank you @earthrealm,
Well, I got the system installed by a well known company.
I am having my doubts already. It is on installment payment basis though.
We learn everyday; it is a phase and it will pass definitely.
Thanks a lot sir. Grateful
I will stick to only 2 panels for now. changing to pmw is a no-no for me and getting an additional panel at 70-90k is not an option for now.
Thanks

@DMerciful, @bigrovar, @earthrealm, @efuro

Good morning all,
Thanks so much for the prompt responses.
I am grateful. Agba yin a dale o (may you the elders live long. Amen).
To answer some of the questions raised.
- Attached below are the pictures of the Charge Controller and the Inverter
- My understanding (based on papers) is that the charge controller is MPPT, 12/24V, 30A. The Inverter is 1.5kva, 24V. The panels are
supposed to be 250Wp, 24V, Poly.
- I also noticed that I was promised 2 units of 60A, 150VDC & also 2 units of 30A, 150VDC but it seems I have only 1 unit of the 30A. Not
sure what that implies really. I have an isolator ealier installed in the house before now.
- It appears the options are to increase the panels. The installer claims I am having good harvest but the initial plan was to have just 2
panels which I was advised to increase to 3.
So I have 3 more questions sirs:
- Based on the information above and the attached pictures, what are your observations and advice?
- If I scale down to 2 panels rather than scale up to 4, what are the risks?
- VIP: I noticed that overnight, with inverter on & no light or points on within the house, the loss of power is enormous from 4-5 bars down
to 1 bar by the morning. I complained about this too to the installer but now I don’t trust anything he says. What is likely happening.
Should I switch off when going to bed or what can be done to conserve power or reduce consumption by the inverter/waste.
Thanks all
MODIFIED: The pictures taken this morning around 6:50AM. already on 1 bar, as at when i switched it on/switched off the gen yesterday night was on full bars and no light (other than the inverter was on till around 430am today (3-4 LED points).
Thanks

Good day House,
Please I need your help on a solar installation.
- installed recently 1.5kva solar system.
- 2 Gacia batteries (200Ah); 3 panels (250w, 24v); MPPT charge controller (epever) & Sukam Falcon + inverter.
- Recently the installer came that he wants to change the MPPT to PMW claiming that the voltage from the panels is sometimes over 100v and that this led to the controller (epever) shutting down occasionally. I noticed the charger not indicating charging even when the sun is very high. The explanation does not make any sense to me and changing to PMW even makes me more worried.
- The alternative I was given was to remove one of the panels or add an extra one to make 4.
- My concern is – could the current MPPT charge controller be a faulty one?. How can I check this independently.
Thank you

darol4real:
the name of my father church is Dream Center of Life oasis international church. headquarters in Osogbo Osun State and Branches worldwide.......He is the Author of popular morning devotional guide "Spirit Meat" which is use in over 700+ cities in the world.

Rev Olusola Ayodele Areogun is a father to many and I am proud to call him my father also.
In life; you will have many teachers but 1 father.
No matter how you look at it, what he has said is simply the truth.
Just that like the Holy Bible said in 2 Timothy 4:3 (NLT) "For a time is coming when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear".
So based on above, I am not surprised one bit at those who are attacking the message and the messenger. Like it or not it remains the truth, which is very scarce this days.
Thank you.

The nairalander that i was looking forward to do it for me has gone seriously cold for months now (not that i was ready then though)
someone advertises here but have mailed the provided contact and he does not sound that serious, gave me a line to call which happened to be wrong.

Good day al,
Please I need some clarification and advice.
By my own calculations need 3.5kva to run all home appliances
However based on cost of setup looking at a 1kwh system to power small-mid sized freezer, a TV and lights. Cfl& leds up to 10
I intend to power only the freezer during 9am-3pm and tv+ lights during 8pm-10pm.
Generator will be on between 6-8pm for water pumping.
I am presently 100% off grid.
My situation is that even though the promotional materials I read seems to suggest 1kwh is good for a 3 bedroom 24 hours I am kind of worried may not satisfy me and i don't want to end worse off.
I have also not been able to understand or convert kva to kwh.
So will appreciate advice on if 1kwh system can work as I planned or not.
Thanks a lot.

Thanks all,
@erico2k2 Thanks for the inputs
@gabbytabby, Thanks ma
@spyder800 & @mavverick – Thanks.
@spyder800 like how much (if you can share) are the ones you are doing going for please?
The size of the blockwork space is as follows: (width- 175cm; depth-60cm & height 300cm)
For HDf the least I have is 150k per unit while for Mdf the least is 100k
I might be old school but the one my father did in the village; had a shiny formica like face is still very strong and sold (over 30 years now) and I can bet it can’t be as relatively expensive as these ones.
Thanks a lot

U will need to have a quality you want in mind then you chose the quantity, is this for personal or commercial use?

Thanks sir,
personal
got mdf, hdf and ndf quotes all hovering around a minimum of 100k per unit.
expected quality benchmark is to be maintenance free or low maintenance for as long as possible.
thanks.

the green or yellow cables that run (should run) from every power point (sockets, w/heater switches. cooker control etc) to the DB (which is in turn connected to an earth conductor(e/rod) buried in the ground.

Thanks sir,
I understand the wire from the buried conductors to the DB. What I was confused about were the ones from points to DB. All the wires looks same to me just different sizes. Dont mind my unlearned talks. Was thinking based on your post that such wires are distinctively different and named different..
