$1 = 1,370.49

Longi Panels to reduce price if its panels.

Renewable Energy will become more affordable is this continuous.

that was yesterday. dollar is back to 1520

Iinnov8:
60A Powmr MPPT Solar Charge Controller available

Price: 106,000 firm

See for yourself, screenshot taken @6:41PM

dbshaywhy:

Growatt state that
2 awg for battery input
8 awg for pv ń ac input and ac output.

What O.P posted was Growatt SPF 3500 ES, O.P you can use these wires:
Battery 4awg/25mm²
AC(Input & Output) 10awg/6mm²
PV = 12awg/4mm²

For Growatt SPF 5000 ES, use these wires:
Battery 2awg/35mm²
AC(Input & Output) 8awg/10mm²
PV = 12awg/4mm²

Note: Depending on distance ( > 50ft), you can use 6mm² for PV Connection which I will recommend if money is not an issue.

5kva 24v inverter

What brand of inverter is this? Felicity?

The screenshot I posted was official rate, I know black market must be different.

Hello sirs,
Please which would you advise to buy between a Pylontech UP5000 4.8kwh and Felicity 10kwh LiFePO4 battery?
Or is there a better alternative within the 2-2.6m price range?

Please I need an answer.

AllyPolly:

Please I need an answer.

I would advise you buy Aurora 10kwh battery.

abuzz33:


I would advise you buy Aurora 10kwh battery.

Oh thanks, I'm just hearing this name for first time. How durable is it and where can I get one?

i knew it will come to this eventually, ....in the afternoon they will just turn off thermal energy source and switch to solar.

Clearly the distribution companies do not want to miss any part of the latest cake being cooked by the current administration

am telling you, its unfortunate that disneyland have there own twin 75MW solar power plant, totalling 150MW , abuja, kogi, nassarwa and niger state de share 469 MW, [ average is 117MW per state]....na only solar fit save us quickly... I have done the maths, if you are using 1kva generator, (i pass my neighbour)... With the current price of fuel, it will cost 700 naira minimum to consume 1 unit of electricity...yet some people are selling solar energy for 150 to 250 naira per unit in some estates... Pennywise if you ask me.

I agree with you, the next deal I close and get paid for, I must upgrade my capacity in PV and batteries to 12kW.

Here in Abuja, their 18 to 20 hours of electricity is no more due to sabotage.

Seriously, do people sell solar energy in estates now? And at that rate?

it depends, my friend has a private student hostel in Uyo, generator is banned, he installed solar and installed prepaid meter in every room...When we last spoke he was selling at about 200 naira per kwh.. And you can't draw more than 150 watts at once,the guy no de ever get vacant room..... But at the moment, i am discussing with another company to come and do the same for me in UNN nsukka for a private student hostel, meanwhile the same company have given me there rate, its 100 naira from 8am to 4pm (when its sunny), and 158 naira from 4pm to 8am the next day.

Interesting idea.

BUT

150 watts is too small. It should be a minimum of 1000 watts per room.

As a person who visits Akwa Ibom frequently, I understand just how poor the power situation there is. As limited as the power he delivers is, he is a godsend to those students.

I knew how frustrating it was to be a student without electricity and I had up to 2 generators at a point, and to guarantee constant light, I sometimes never stopped the gen even to refuel (as risky as that was I will admit). I recall how after the generator would run non-stop between 3 and 5 days the sound would change, then I would have to put it off so it could rest to continue the battle later.

Thanks for sharing.

1000 watts per room would baloon the budget for the project without joy, but also the student will be charged very high per unit. And they will abuse it, Electric iron, electric cooker... Washing machine... His inverters will work extra and his battery will bleed. Currently at 60 rooms the maximum draw from the students will be 9KW (9000 watts)..,and i think he using two units of 10kva each inverter for everything. At 1000 watts per room, without surge the peak consumption will be 60KW...its not like he cannot do it o.... But e no go hostel again o... Na to call am apartments o... And u know how much apartment de charge per day. E choke. Dis one na make dem just charge phone, on light, plug laptop and sleep with fan.

interesting.

are you saying power is bad in Akwa ibom?
i was under the impression they had their own IPP and that there was ample power - or maybe that is limited to uyo

GloriousGbola:

I haven't been there in years.

But when last I was there, the power was so bad, less than 3 hours a day, late at night and very low current that I found my stay very unpleasant.

I had to find an excuse to come back to Abuja.

I understand the thinking.

Just minimal electronics, basic comforts. Better than the terrible utility power there at the moment

Which area is that? Shelter Afrique? Ewet Housing?

Kindly share. But for the rest of the State, it was a very terrible experience.

Got family in Uyo so I speak from the experience of living there when I visit.

I would love to build a vacation home there, hence the question.

Gentlemen, whats the best 24V High PV Hybrid in the market right now in your view?

This analysis is applicable to those who want to freeze their rooms with 16°C temperature.
My parlor AC is 1.5hp consumed 1.2kw and I used it mostly during the day at 20°C.
My room AC is 1hp consumed 1kw and I used it mostly at night with the temperature range of 26°C to 28°C consuming 500w max and I still woke up to see 50 60% of my battery left.
We know how to manage RE.

Capacity Of your system please? Pv, battery, inverter

Please I need help
I just installed felicity 5kva 24v inverter with 2 new tubular batteries. Load is not more than 13% but I only get mx of 3hrs from it. What could be the cause and solutions
