Hello house I got the following quote in abuja:

Genus Heiwa Series Pure Sine Wave Inverter 1625 VA 12V = 125k
Felicity 45A MPPT charge controller: 70K
Africell solar panel 300W, 3 units 75k each: 225k
Solar profile: 5.5k
Dual core 10mm cable : 1.8k per meter
Genus 230AH tall tubular batter (buying only single unit for a start): 180k
Labour: 20k
Total is about 645k

Guys, please I need your input here, is there any unit I need to add or remove? is the quotation ok? Please help a brother. If anyone in abuja can give me a better offer, I can consider it

Every thing checks out but the installation didn't show likes of Over current device and Over voltage device which will help safe guard your installation.

I will have loved to recommend my company but for the sake of picking the best fit for your needs

Can you give a brief summary of what needs to be powered so that you can get contribution from experienced hands before settling for your choice

Installations are never with static design and sometimes requires unique design to fit your exact needs for desired result.

Ideal solution will be

500VA Indian Inverter
30A PWM solar charge controller
100Ah lead acid or lithium battery
150W x 2 solar panel

A fair price can be used to have it constructed.

i am sure many others can chip in their ideas to help you out.

Thanks for the response.
The TV is 80w
Decoder is 20w
Fan is 80w if you substitute this for a DC fan (10W) from cloud, it will be mighty helpful
Sound system is 60w too if its really necessary to add this then by all means use it, but you can remove it and free up some energy space on your battery.


To be used for about 6 hours during the day and just lightings of less than 20w at night for 6 hours too

This is for during the day while the sun is there because I still have to run a big gen for my freezer at night.
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by olopan(m): 5:42pm On Jan 16, 2023
Bro if you can safely remove the diode that's faulty, check the info e.g. IN368 - Google search it and download the pdf file.

Them head to your local hardware store and buy equivalent diode that fits the voltage and current curve of the present diode.

you should be good..... also better to snap the diode before removing to ensure that your replacing it back to the original position.

Errrrm,
I think from some of the responses so far, we are missing the whole point of cedarfarms enquiry.

I wont be drawn into this useless shenanigans , lithium vs leadacid battery, cos whatever anyone is using/decides to use. Leadacid o, lithium o...e no dey put shiishi for my pocket grin grin grin grin grin, why should i cry more than the bereaved?


@ bolded. Don't worry ńa, Sodium battery and/or Na-Li (Sodium-Lithium) battery will soon join the fray in the nearest future. Then the talk go enter gear 2.

There is joy in having many choices, is the good thing here.

Why not go for the 1.5kw 12v hybrid inverter with 80amps charging current, can take 2kw panel capacity, Voc 500volts and can also charge lithium battery.,

Thanks a lot for your response, it will go a long way. Just a side note, I have day light load, a 120watt inverter fridge, I want to run it from 10am to 3pm everyday.

Thanks bro, I don't like hybrid inverters because of the dependence of both charge controller and inverter functionality in one unit. If one spoil, I either replace both or take both for repair. However with separate units, if the charge controller develop fault, for example, I can take just that for repair or easily change it.
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by mangolpupa: 10:49pm On Jan 16, 2023
House almost on the verge of biting the hybrid inverter bullet which comes with in built mppt charger. so no need to get separate mppt charger.

however my question is do i need to get a separate battery equalizer added to the solar system (its a 48v AGM battery configuration) or is having the "all in one" hybrid inverter enough.

AGM batteries don't require equalization only Tubular batteries does except it is those black external things for each battery you referring to here.

We never even get time or chance to try out Lithium Titanate, dem don dey shove Sodium for our faces. But it's good sha. The future of battery tech is exciting. And it's gonna take renewable to another exciting level.

My experience with them hasn't been positive that justify their use, anyway those were the older version.

My experience is just minute compare to others with good results.

So I won't air it, others can share their experiences with it.

FYI "it's the external black thingy" grin

Thats a bit outdated thinking, y not look at it this way----- you would always need a back up unit as well incase any of them goes bad.
For hybrid, u just need a backup hybrid. For standalones
..so u will also buy a backup Cc and a back up inverter again

anyway, stick to what makes you comfortable

So buy the hybrid inverter and buy external charge controller....the cc in the inverter then serves as backup incase your external cc goes bad. Cost of inverter is usually not too far from hybrid

pointless saying the battery manufacturer without highlighting the battery chemistry.
if its leadacid battery, agm/flooded/vrla etc simply sell to the scrap people. they pay you and send it to the people who will recycle it

I need help here please.
I use a Growatt SPF 5000 ES,
Connected to 16s DIY LFP cells
And 16s 200a ANT BMS

At first, I set my charging voltage to 3.6 X 16 = 57.6v, float voltage to 3.5 X 16 = 56.0v,
but after so much information gathering here and there, I settled for 56.0v as charging voltage and 55.2v as float voltage.

But irrespective of the times I made the changes above, I am always having problems with the BMS. Sometimes it charges to 90% and stops charging, other times 38%, 68%, but if I reset the BMS, it will continue charging and eventually reach 100%.

This is now beginning to happen on daily basis, but before I go ahead and change the BMS to JBD, I want to be sure what could wrong please? I have sold the system to a client after few months use and I am beginning to look like a bad man now, energy initiates come to my rescue abeg grin

56v a little bit too high, set the charging voltage to bulk 55.2v or 54.4v
float 54v or 54.2v
