U need 8 pieces of them for a 24v 2.5kva inverter, message valto for price
Nicols:


Stil trying to understand this lifepo4 ba3. How much can I get a lifepo4 that can match up with 2.5kva inverter?

Which would you oversize, battery bank or PV array?

Please share your reason.

Both if money is not a problem.

Solar panels if there is heavy use during the day.

batteries if you have significant hours of NEPA daily.

Please share your reason.

It depends on certain scenarios

1. Battery if your bank is lithium, as it doesnt mind not being charged fully daily.

2. Solar panel if your battery is leadacid, as it likes being fully charged daily and suffers irreversible damage if routinely left not fully charged for extended periods.

3. Solarpanel if you have oversized day time loads, this works best with lithium battery

Theoretically, both - to cover 3 days of no sun.
Pragmatically, your battery should be enough to sustain your night time use (2 night use - oversized) . Your solar panel should be able to generate enough to cover your day use and also be able to refill the battery.

Thanks

What's the anticipated watt-hour this System is supposed to supply daily? I've always been intrigued to know how installers size PV for installations, given it's unstableness.

You size based on daily commutative assumptions; a typical PV of good quality that is properly setup should produce at least 3x of it's name plate daily so long as there is demand and sunlight is good. So if I have 2kw PV, I expect that I will get 6kwh daily +/- you can then use that to determine if that is sufficient to charge your battery and power your load.

Nice, thanks for your input. Is this 3x assumption relative to location? Or a rule of thumb irrespective of?

- 50A PWM built-in solar charge controller
- maximum grid power saving by charging through "Solar Power Only*
- Built-in SAP(solar advance protection)
I bought a 60A charge controller

Hello gurus in the house, above are some of the features of d Novel hybrid 2.5kva 24v that I just purchased. My installer is quoting the following accessories
DC surge protector= 13k
60A PWM = 25k

Whereas @ Novel Solar they are quoting the following
DC surge protector= 35k
Input and Output protection= 40k

My question is which of these questions should I go for considering the features of the inverter that I stated above.
It's 300W x 4 panels
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Jefferyzz(m): 11:34am On Jun 04, 2023
This quotation is questionable
1. Why not put the make of d battery there. Make e no go b those starplus of 145/150k variant e go buy for u
2. Wat kind of inverter is he buying. Make u no go buy inverter wey surge go spoil in no time.
Better transformer based inverter with 30a AC charger is also sold for 85k
3. With the kind of charge controller will he be using, there will b some energy waste cause he go parallel those panels, your best is to buy 190/180w with 8/9amps which new 1 is 45k. U can buy 4 of this.
Make sure he doesn't cut off the connector, make e buy branch connector, cause e no put am 4 d list.
Price of charge controller is ok. 40a pwm I suppose.
Every other tin is cool just make sure those breakers are properly sized.
2 DC breakers (32a for panel and battery)
1 AC breaker (order 4a variant on AliExpress as it's difficult to get this here. Lowest av seen is 10a which is too big for ur setup)

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Jefferyzz(m): 11:46am On Jun 04, 2023
Novel solar prices are inflated. 200w panel a friend got from them for January was 80k. Dey don't make any of these items or even couple them, dey import and print their name of it. Dem get warranty sha. Maybe nah why their prices dey go up anyhow. As per ur inverter, if u Neva buy, look elsewhere, if u don't abuse ur inverter, n u secure am with AC&DC MCB&SPD n earth all component(panels included) n add stab if u will b charging with NEPA, ur inverter go last Wella.

My question is if I decide to go with what d installer quoted would I be fine? Or should I go with d Nova quotation?

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Jefferyzz(m): 12:38pm On Jun 04, 2023
Zeestone has all of these. U can buy from him
Hope you have not bought these panels. Buy yingli instead, them get 400w and the performance is decent, make dey no go sell 300w wey no go produce more than 150w for u.
