Jesus!!! That's expensive!

I'm glad you're using a brand of charge Controller that's much better than the Plenty nonesense wey full market.

hopefully, you're very much aware You would require a charge Controller of higher capacity.

Question: 3. Can I still use the former set up alongside, the panels and the cc excluding the battery and inverter.

Answer: NO. Whenever you mix Solar Panels of different Capacities, the Solar Panel of higher Capacities, comes down to level of the Lowest Solar Panel's capacity on the string hence 200w + 100w in series would give you 100w.

yea you could start considering the VOCs but those are hacky tactics better left to those who really knows what they're doing. Even then sef, there must be looses

I wish say this thing na transformer based.

He is doing 6p based on the PV Voltage on the screen... It shouldn't even get hot as there is not much conversion...
3s2p/2s3p maybe hit or miss.. he can try his luck...

Gshems:

Minimum 500k.
There is no way you can get a 220ah battery less than 280k currently, 1kva inverter like 100k, charge controller 80k, solar panel that one is on drugs right now. Wirings and all nothing less tan 50k. You go spend pass 500k sef.

Please who knows how to use this timer socket?
I'd like to be able to set it to come on when the sun comes up,say 11am and go off 3pm everyday.

jikaseo:
Yea, I've got 3 batteries at 3 different occasions and they all didn't even last one week. They sell fake and I'm tired of wasting money.

mctfopt:


Usually leftover wires, wires removed from site after a decommissioning, and lastly wires stolen from site. There is secondhand wires often with firsthand wahala.

@bassdow has a point about using aluminium cables. But the disadvantage is that those cables easily break when you want to dress them(you go dey Do vigilantes work.

Aside that, those cable coating are prone to wear because of temperature and the environment it's been used.
It's not a good idea for aluminium or zinc roofing.

In summary, don't take my opinion for it. Na work I learn, what do I really know

300w panels Clearance sales

12pcs of ~300w for clearance sales @86k each!!

Reason for sale
Buyer begged a friend in alaba to help him get panels and other solar devices.

Later buyer got referred to me by a colleague for installation.

Buyer got the shocker of his life when I analysed the panels and told him they were relabelled to 400w. 😳

Now buyer wants to go for 550w panels and needs to dispose these off at a great discount. Panels were bought at the rate of 110k

Location is ojodu Berger, but can be sent to any part of Nigeria.

URGENT SALES!!

There are REASONs why I have never suggested anything higher than 300w Solar Panel. Above is One of them

TechGeek777:


Boss, you sure say no be typo be this?

Dollar prices dey crashed every hours now.

Even fuoani wey dey over increase prices, dey sell "Pylontech UP5000 4.8kWh Lithium Ion Battery" for 2.6m

Coupled battery pack still gives better ROI

I'm looking to get a solar system on a budget because my aim is to have light to work on my laptop and fan throughout the day and last till at least 12 midnight.

I need advice on solar panels(I'm looking to get 2), price of battery that will last that long, inverter.

My budget is 250k. It's just to power my laptop for my work throughout the day.. no tv, fridge.

Thank you .

Please rather than ask just a single person, better thow your question to everyOne of us. Then you take which you believe makes sense.

Should you ignore everyOne else, and focus on just a single person, even if the person misGuide you, dem fit punish you by keeping mute.

At end of the day, we are all here to learn one way or the other. We dey a rgue no mean say we know it all

bassdow:



experienced person no go get issue with that. Also, even non-experienced person shouldn't have much issues with that.


That's hardly an issue. Worse case scenerio, you place something on top to cover it BUT I have never done such becase the coating is more than enough
