If your question is weather Amazon is delivering items to Nigeria, Yes they are but if and only if the item seller has marked the item as deliverable to Nigeria.

If your question was weather Amazon is still kicking off the Amazon Nigeria Warehouse as they propsed before, Yes they are but it will take some time. Jumia, Konga and some other Nigerian Online merchants are being fingered as sabotaging the project big time.



Konga and Jumia can only do so much till the tsunami carries them off.

Yes, TechLand is a trusted dealer, I transacted with them yesterday, communications was with the MD directly.

They shipped out my 26pcs of 600w Canadian Solar panels yesterday fingers crsooed I would recieve them soon enough.

And guess what, The man is from my state, hehehehe, small world.

It might not necessarily be exactly this type but must be Oil Based battery terminal protector/Anti corrosion.

I suspect that since you don't know what I was talking about, you are unlikely to have the answers. grin However, what I meant is how to use the ports to read the inverter data and change its settings using a computer.

Thanks Bro, that small Gen is already eating Xmas rice in the village grin The Big Gen is on Sabbatical Leave here. Just taking up space.

This my initial setup have been seriously upgraded and awaiting further upgrade of 8+8+8(600W) Canadian Solar Panels going with 16KW Deye Hybrid Inverter with 3 inbuilt MPPTs + Felicity 15KW x2 LifePo4 Batteries. grin

The 5KW Felicity x3 and the 4x220Ah FLD Batteries might be the Backup you adviced if I don't get buyers for them.



This is awesome. More grease boss.

1. 3kw 24volt Hybrid inverter (80Amps MPPT) = #220,000
this should be 24v 3kva (2400w)mustpower hybrid. it is pretty okay.

2. 12v 220AH battery 2pcs = #165,000 x 2 = #300,000 (Tubular battery)
a cheap tubular brand i guess, battery is the main engine of a good solar system. if u have funds go for lithium.

3. 300watts Solar panels 6pieces (1.6kw) = #60,000 x 6 = #360,000
pls dont waste money of fake capacity low quality panels. u can not get real capacity high-quality 300w panels at that price. stay away from used ones too. 4pcs of 450w jinko or yingli is better.

5. AC & DC Cables = #70,000
pretty high, but depends on distance though.

Hmmmmm, bros you just use idea insult me sha, no wahala. Naija people sabi raise dust where there is no ash, I don't think my question waranted such a response from you and I deserve some sort of appology for that.

Anyways there are many ways to communicate and manage felicity devices, I'm sure you don't want me to educate you on this too. I just needed you to be specific as to what you wanted to communicate with the battery but since you said it's with computer, Felicity uses EDMS Software or DessMonitor Platfom and Logger. You can contact their customer care to request for the EDMS software or simply buy their Wifi or 4G Logger. The Wifi Logger uses RS232 while the 4G Logger uses both RS485 and RS232.

Thank you.

It doesn't work on Felicity Inverters,
Felicity has a proprietary datalogger for their Inverters (means that their inverter is coded to work with their logger only) If anyone have read Original Felicity inverters with some random loggers please let us know here, they told me this directly after they allowed me to buy other loggers used for most Voltronic based Inverters because it was cheaper than thiers. Soms Raspberry Pi or Arduino devices works with Felicity though.

No, Felicity is not Axpert variant atleast recently. I don't know of older models.

The Felicity(s) I used in the past were axpert variants though I should note that they were hybrids

Apologies tendered. I was deceived by the way you responded.

However, do you have the EDMS? I also suspect that Felicity is basically cloning some popular brands (maybe not any more), so I have been trying to search for who they might be impersonating. Both their hybrid inverters and charge controllers were clones of MPPSolar products, so I was able to communicate with them over RS-232 using MPPSolar/Axpert softwares.

sorry but mustpower 24v 3kva hybrid inverter with 80A mppt can never be gotten at that price. the installer actually quoted the real price
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by TechGeek777: 11:22pm On Dec 17, 2022
[quote author=Pojomojo post=119233305][/quote]

Kindly note that the price 150,640 you saw from Techland pricelist was for it Must 80A MPPT CC and not for inverter.

The least you can get Must 3KW Hybrid is 220k as rightly said by @Valto, that's same price official Must distributor gave me for its PV1800 VHM 3kw, but I more interested in Must 3kw PV1800 PRO version due to its ability to use the inverter without battery and it can accommodate more Panels.

Anyone knows how much I can get the Pro version of Must Hybrid if it can carry 2hp pump?

Yes, I'm communicating with it. My suspicion is that your cable is not the correct type. I had to slightly modify every cable that eventually worked. You can modify your cable as in the picture below and it should work with MPPTracker. You can see more here. https://github.com/solarsnoop/PCM60X-Monitor/blob/master/pcm60x%20mppt%203000w%20Standard%20Protocol.pdf

From my findings, felicity hybrid inverter with Rs485 doesn't communicate with lifepo4 battery via Jbd Bms with Rs485 module.
Which other easiest method can one use?
I guess Raspberry Pi could work but it seems to be a long process with extra cash involvement.

Get the Chipper App. It has Virtual USD MasterCard for you to make payment anywhere.

As soon as you sign up, an account details will be generated for you. You can fund it via your bank mobile app.

As at today, it's N765 to $1.

Just for clarity, raspberry pi is simply a computer system so when you say it could work with a pi can you clarify how?

Good day everyone here.
As someone suggested a 1hp AC for the inverter room earlier, I spoke to Deye Engineers as well as Felicity Engineers as to what is the best way to keep the room cool for the systems.

Both team gave a simmilar response to this.

They both talked about the size of the room which is somewhat about 9ftx8ftx9ft WDH.
They both didn't recommend an AC for the room, reeson beign that some micro internal components might get condensed and eventually fail due to bridging of terminals.
They both recommended a natural air cooling system according to the first two pictures below.
Based on immediate avialable resources, I did it as seen on the last two pictures.
Before you draw your conclusions remember that they did not say I can't use AC in there. They gave recommendations based on environmental constrains which here is size of the room.

After installing and testing this my Extractor fan today, I thanked my spirit for deciding to place the Deye inverter right below the vents as seen in the pictures.
The Deye Inverter sucks air from under and throws out upwards and the Extractor fan sucks the air outside alongside dust. grin
Please recommend improvements if any.

Happy me.
