Greetings great minds,
Will the help on this thread and little experience from the guy that installed my mini solar package on my farm for lighting and charging,
I tried setting up just am inverter system at home, which comprises of a 100amp battery and famicare inverter, I rely on Nepa light to charge and at full charge I can power my TV, home theater and candle TV for up to 9 hours (7pm to 11pm for 2 days)
Past week the Nepa av been fumbling so I later opt for a 180watt solar panel 3pamp charge controller, but ever since have not been able to use for more than 3hrs till the battery goes down, a certain day we have Nepa light I have to remove the solar panel from the controller so to comfirm my usage at night and I found out I was able to use for 5hrs plus even with the little Nepa light that charged it,

Pls what can I be doing wrong in the system?
Am actually thinking if its the 4mm cable used to connect the panel to charge controller is too small,
Should I opt for the 6mm cable

Will be expecting Profesional advice
Regards

@bolded is the first and most likely culprit. 180w panel is grossly insufficient to fill a 100ah battery within the limited 5 hrs daily harvest.

Cool.

1. Did you fund your Wise prior to making the wire transfer or you just used your account details while they charge directly from there? If yes, did you fund via naira account or Dom account?

2. Have you made payment with Wise to a bank in the US?

I have been trying to make wire payment via banks for weeks and recently they asked me to fill the form M stuff which I haven't had time for.

I intend to try Wise as I read you made a successful payment with it. So I just opened account with them.

Increase your panel size, and change the cable size as well (to limit energy losses), and save towards getting MPPT Solar CC.

At what point did you use ACH and wire option for your Alibaba payments, or you simply send money in your USD wallet?

Did you use USD to USD transfer? Alibaba use JP Morgan bank in Singapore not US.

Please details steps if possible

What is the power consumption of the inverter when not in use?
Sorry for the late response, but you can message me on WhatsApp so I can send you the data sheet?

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?
Thank you bro.

you went for 5kw or 3.5kw? how much did you buy it?.
are they shipping for you, or you have a 3rd party shipper..if they are shipping, care to share the freight cost and duration?
bonjour solar -- 1yr on alibaba, definitely a reseler/copy.
next time better and cheaper to buy from the manufacturer, usually cheaper and easier for warranty issues

Na phone I dey use na. Started at night to no avail. Then tried from morning till sometime in the afternoon to no success.

Was that how yours did before working? I can't fathom why they are not taking the IDs. And I have done countless such verifications at other platforms.
