I would like to know if anyone on this forum has installed wind turbine....... I want to compliment it with my solar system at home

I heard the vertical axis wind turbine is better if you do not live at a very windy environment.... but i would love a first hand experience review and recommendation

Still awaiting feedback on this..............

Good morning. Pls who have used or using Jordy-Ele servo stabilizer. Are they good and true to claim? Thanks

The inverter should be able to carry this deep freezer. I power my 80w Haier Thermocool deep freezer with just the 1600w and it works. Give it a try. To increase the chances of it working, try these out though:

- Put on the inverter when the battery is well charged (at least 12.6v for a 12v system). If you are on solar, you should be hitting this by even 10am

- Put off ALL the appliances in the house and put on the deep freezer first. This will give the inverter enough headroom to accommodate the surge of the deep freezer

- As a last resort if you try the two points above and the inverter still trips on overload when you put on the freezer, leave it (the deep freezer) on, then switch off the inverter and put it back on so that the freezer will come on along with it.

If all three methods don't work, then upgrade the inverter

I had installed 3 units of 6000w 3 blades in a farm Gombe state back in 2015, a project termed FADAMA or some sort.

I learnt they couldn't maintain them and they packed up.

One thing is to Install wind turbine, another thing is to be able to service them because they are susceptible to harsh weathers and all.

Last thing is that they are quite expensive, yes more expensive than Inverters.

What capacity Do you want to install?
Do you have the Wind Turbines already?
Do you have the Wind Turbine Controller too?
Does your present Inverter have Wind Turbine inputs?
Do you have the space to mount them?

If it's a yes all these questions, Let's roll. I will install it for you at the appropriate fee.
If not, Indicate if you need a quote for the Total Package.

Good morning to great Nairalanders🫡🫡🫡
Since my inverter got fried by lightning and it’s yet to be fixed and man never guide to buy another as I’d love to get a reliable one when I’m making a purchase.
I want to know if it’s fine to run the attached freezer picture on this inverter.
It’s a thermocool inverter freezer so energy efficient and the start up voltage isn’t high.
Your opinions are welcome

If that inverter is not genuinely a pure sine wave inverter, that Thermocool freezer will not work. And I dont trust all these chinese rebranded generic inverters. They will write pure sine wave on them and most times they are actually modified sine wave. Your thermocool freezer will just on light but will not freeze. I have a thermocool freezer like that, that does not accept any dirty sine wave of electricity. It is only LG inverter Fridge that are a little forgiving if your electricity is not pure sine wave. But if it is a true pure sine wave inverter, you are good

He does not need all this na😅. It is an inverter freezer. Inverter freezers do not start with a surge like typical freezers or refrigerators. The compressor starts from 0W and climbs slowly to the rated wattage which in most thermocool freezers is 150W. His own is even 140W, so he will be fine even with a 500w inverter. I use a 300w car inverter with my inverter freezer and works just fine

Yes, on your right driving into Katampe Ext.

But come to think of it, nawa for you sha.

If you say na ordinary breeze knock down that big wind turbine, that is to say, when better Abuja wind hit am, na after Banex bridge AEPB staff dem go go pack the remaining scrap from middle of express.

mctfopt:

The inverter isn't charging the batteries which simply means it doesn't supply enough power to the appliances, it's a 24V inverter.

Hahahahaha...I am just seeing now that he mentioned inverter freezer. Inverter inverter inverter just full everywhere... Missed it earlier jare. Thanks for the correction.

Meanwhile, does anyone inverter freezer perform as optimally as a normal freezer particularly in the area of retention of ice? I am really looking to port to an inverter freezer. I want to my major appliances to be very energy-conservative

omo the day wey i see say e don fall, i just taya...but if you see the catastrophy e look like wetin breeze blow i swear. i doubt if e enter ground well....omo if wind turbine de efficient enough for nigeria i think it would have been everywhere...its really scarce unlike solar.

I see no reason the inverter will not power the 140w freezer and I think a member here power his with this same inverter.
I sold 1.2kw 12v inverter to a customer and it powered his 140w freezer without any stress.

Yes. Thermocool's inverter freezer works just fine. Retains ice and freezes pretty well.

You may not blame Chinese for this as what we usually pay for is what we equally receive.
The market train in China is very flexible and we are always given an opportunity to choose from various varieties of products with price difference.
Some Chinese Companies I bought some of my goods from used to ask if I need relabeling... This is what most of our people are doing and it's very unfortunate that our porous system has landed us in this mess.
Again, our markets is dominated by the poor citizens who are also demanding for cheap products, forgetting that they may change the same cheap fake products for about 3x and the person who bought the original product at a higher price is still using it.

no lies told...on reddit , solar installers based in switzerland say they don't even touch 48V batteries....that if its not a higher voltage battery just leave am, and also if its not fronius inverter you are on your own....as expensive asenphase systems cost, they still make up for a higher market share in US unlike cheaper solutions like Sol-ark and EG4.

It works much better than a conventional fridge. Rather than the compressor switching off and jumping back on(surge) every cycle, inverter freezers and fridge just keeps adjusting how the compressor works inline with your thermostat. I have both an inverter Freezer/Fridge combo from LG and a Theremocool Freezer only variant and I can say these are one of the best things I put my money on. My LG consumes just 720wh in 24hours. That is like 30w. I have not seen anything that efficient in my life😂😂 I dont even bother switching it off atall again . If you have not moved, move to LG immediately. Dont go above 350L though. 350L downwards(uses 30w - 75w). Unfortunately, the price has really surged up maybe because demand is now much. I bought 320L from Fouani for 352K December 2022, It is now close to 700K

I have a bluetti power station and wanna pair it with an external lifepo4 battery. The aim is to increase the Wh capacity.

1. Is it a good combination?

2. How will I charge the battery since I don't have an inverter?

3. Will I need a charge controller for the battery?

Flash sale

2 units of original 160ah Fullriver FAT (Front Access Terminals) batteries for sale

Background information
Batteries were commissioned as 12v in February 2022 and immediately hooked up to solar and supported with grid charging using Suoer 12v battery charger. Batteries were optimally charged everyday and it was hardly used below 12.0v (equivalent to 50% DoD) before another cycle of charge begins. Batteries were decommissioned in December 2023 and was occasionally trickled-charged to prevent sulphation

Based on the load test I just performed on the batteries using the energy-efficient EASun satchet inverter on a load of 130w (just a 55" Hisense smart TV) it gave a backup time of 6hours before hitting 12.0v from full charge. I project another 4hours before the battery gets completely drained. If you are looking to power a staggered load of lights, standing fan and laptop (all below 70w), this will give you good value for money.

Batteries will come with a free DC voltage meter that gives an independent voltage reading and a defective PowMr 60A MPPT solar charge controller. Controller was wrongly connected at one of the battery terminals and it blew. I can refer you to someone who can fix it

This is a stressful combo. It is workable but in the long run stressful and expensive. First of, you will need a separate charger for your battery which will be either an AC charger or a solar charge controller with solar panels ofcourse. Next you will need a DC to DC buck converter. If your lifepo4 battery is 12V, the DC to DC converter will raise the voltage to maybe 24V or 36V or 48v to be able to charge the power station(depending on the voltage configuration of your Bluetti which Bluetti sometimes does not publish). Then you will connect the input plug of your Blueeti(Which you will have to buy separately and then work it to your buck converter). Your buck converter draws power from your battery and sends it to your powerstation. Your powerstation would think you are sending in solar power to it. Your buck converter also loses power when it is converting(efficiency loss). The inverter in your power station also has efficiency loss. In the long run, it doesnt really make plenty sense. Just use the power station separately on its own. Then buy an inverter separately for your battery. Else you will on the long run spend more than you should and also lose power when your buck converter is drawing power from your battery

Your 2.5kva inverter is wasting out with your current supply . Buy 2 more of the 100ahms battery you have, it will atleast give you more power supply.

If the old battery is over 6 months, don't think of adding another new battery to it because it won't last.
Just close eyes and buy the two new ones at once.
How long has the two 100ah lasted?
