BetaTechnicians: Thank you so much King! Panels were connected in Parallel to a breaker (60 amps) and then to the CC. You are right with the looses. I am thinking I should just get a 40a Mppt charge controller. But the shock still remains because I have used such charge controller in the past (although a different brand and 60amps). This one I am using now is rated 50amps and I bought it very very cheap on Jumia. Please do let me know if you need any more information. I am a man in need. |

Lets start from the top 1. You use a tier 4 panel-why call it that is beyond me but you have your reasons But you should expect the four panels to work like 2 good panels with each contributing 25% of its nameplate 2. Charge controller and cable looks just fine, highest those cable with do is get lukewarm in temp. 3. All you have done looks okay, panel to roof space is okay as long as you not slapping them panels to the roof My advice, don't waste money, if you very sure your panel is clean, then know that your panels are the bad eggs ... I have similar setup one time but with 2 x 150W and highest from it is 17A So manage it or upgrade, getting MPPT may give you a little gain but you didn't mention your battery. I leave this to others to take up from here Solarrookie: |

olopan: Thank you so much King! 1. I called them tier 4 because they are chinese variants rebranded as tier 2. They came cheap so I didn't bother to return them to the seller. 2. You are right. It gets lukewarm whenever current hits 16A. 3. I think I failed here �. I slapped em on the roof lol. Needed electricity so badly. Welder told me to pay 40,000 for angle irons. Battery is "Fullriver 200ah lead acid". I appreciate you Sir! |

Solarrookie: I think your major problem may be the charge controller in use and of course the tier 4 PV you are using If each PV has capability of producing 8A at 18v or 20v, under ideal conditions you should get up to 32A. But the PVs may not working under ideal conditions as there are loses due to wire size, loses too due to tilt angle, shade factors, PWM inefficiency, etc. But you can even out these odds a little by using an MPPT and hopefully increasing the gauge of wire in use. My 3 cents |

wilmaria14: Hmmmmm... Wahala dey o. If I have seen this post on Sunday morning, maybe I would have vented my experience... However, the issue is being resolved and I'm calm � Now, the first two attached pics depicts the CanadianSolar 300W normal (single cut) model. While the last two depicts their new model (Split-cell Technology or Half-Cut). How can someone be defending black as white, with his spirit, soul, and body Na wa ooo!!!

IYGEAL: Thank you King! EPEver is premium but have you used PowMr? I saw videos with some people saying that the Charge controller is less efficient and the 60A is actually 40A. It's cheap though. Ojeysky, I sight you! |

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by olopan(m): 8:44pm On Mar 22, 2021 |
If you can get the local alunminum used for Windows .... Either lockstyle or interlock and use to raise your panels up a bit ... Temperature may be one of its bane here ... You might just get higher power if you try the above procedures. Solarrookie: |
