8pieces of jinko 580w= 4640 doing over 100%. Dont play. If youre in benin, and you need original brand new jinko panels at very good prices. Hit me up!

The most power I've gotten from a 1.74kw array so far. 93%. Considering temperature, perfectly in line with what Jinko rates the panels at.

Point is, you can't go wrong with Jinko panels.
Yeah...solar generation has improved recently. Mine is mixed panels of 2x jinko 625w, 8x 270w(Chinese sunpower) and 1x 280w Neptune panel all connected in series . Making total 3.69kw pv. Seeing over 90% instantaneous generation is refreshing

Hi... I'm selling this brand new Aurora high quality lifepo4 battery 10.5kwh for only 2m.

Location Abuja.

Using original jinko panels too 8x555w (4440w) and even at 11am I'm getting 4.1kw.
Those panels are just so good.
I've one that shattered during transportation and still producing good energy. I just used it to power one fridge, shikena.

Whereas my cworth 350w panels only give me like 160w each. Very poor.
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by bassdow: 1:22am On Oct 12, 2024
HeavenlyBang:
300w X 8 X 2 = 4.8kwh

Accounting for losses and all, you'd need a 5.12kwh battery.

They generally go for about 1.1m.
To account for inefficiencies, and days / times of bad weather, I would suggest the following

1pcs 300-watts Solar panel
1pcs 200AH / 220AH battery
1pcs 20 / 30 / 40+ Amps PWM charge controller
1pcs Inverter / UPS
Aluminium / Copper Cables depending on distance between roof and your setUp

Above are thee basics and all you require most times.

With regards to cost, you either go Brand New or USED depending on your budget.

If you plan upgrading later (most times you would even if you think you wouldn't), would suggest you buy a minimum of 40Amps charge Controller. if you can't easily afford an inverter (please don't buy sachet inverter. Not sure I would have time to give reasons), buy a used UPS and we in here would direct you on how to use it; that's if you don't already know.

Any average quality Solar panel should give same or similar result all things equal

nice, surprised that the mixup is producing decent results. would wanna verify something scientifically, if its not too much trouble...
kindly provide the following data for the 4 or 5 panel sizes in your string

panel wattage
1. panel Vmp
2. Panel Imp

Very interesting and educative video, as usual.

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Mrreed(m): 2:03pm On Oct 12, 2024
Insightful video
Hwever, one must be willing to walk long enough to get actual gauge because a large percentage of the cables in the market are deceptively labelled

Would really like to know why for the bolded.
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by ojesymsym: 4:05pm On Oct 12, 2024
I co ask.

I had a discussion with someone about this one time and he convinced me that the whole setup will work with the capacity of the lower rated panels, these info you requested for will be interesting to have.

Please who has idea on how i can get a voltmeter with buzzer/ alarm as shown below.
I need a device that can alert me or disconnect the load (LOW VOLTAGE ALARM or Low Voltage Disconnect) before my battery BMS will trip off.

Where i buy cables they are sold in meter cut according to what length you want.

How do you buy yours? In Rolls? Or Drums?

I guess the question is the slightly less than an inch peel you did on the cable end to put on the ferrule.

Any serious seller wouldn't have issue on such little peel. Some will even allow you cut the cable to ascertain if it's true copper or just paint.

Very good question, brother. But I hope sey you no dey expect reasonable, practical and experience-based response from that bros... grin...coz you fit wait tire o

When someone asked him why he has so much disdain for lithium battery technology, see the response he gave. You understand wetin him explain for there?

He will come and bandy words around in a bid to confuse you when he responds, but no panic, we dey with you... grin

Yes, you can easily ask them for a cutter to expose the insides of the cables to do checks. I believe they should have no issues with you fitting the ferrule over the exposed cable. You don't even need to ask their permission and it is something you can do in seconds even.

Hahahahaa....let's not throw away the baby with the bath water already.

Agreed he has his unique perspective to some things, but he does have a good deal of understanding of how electronics work. I still await his response...
