The time the photo was taken.. just Noon ... Yet zero harvest. It's not about people going to work for battery to charge because of ones battery and not big (and that cost millions), solar go off o

The point is, when nature brings the unexpected and it goes on for days, one will definitely need back up from other sources of energy.

If I'm complaining about no sun in southern Nigeria, what about people living in Amazon or Congo. Where rain fall most of the year? So one should have back up source to generate power in case...

Contact Fouani

They'll ship to you.

Unfortunately you and I are from a continent where our leaders are blind, In Asia, more than 70% of their vehicles are full electric vehicles, They use all manner of turbines and solar panels as renewable energy sources. Europe and America are gradually following same route.

Solar Panels that uses moon light are been developed and tested since a year now. Banner or Trampoline Panels are already in existence.

The modified spring torque electric motor generator has not gained popularity because despite generating free energy, It makes some noise while at it.

For our region, we currently rely on daytime solar energy as an alternative source of energy. Which brings us to Over sizing our systems in terms of batteries and solar panels.

This coming December will mark two years and six months I have been on Solar and Batteries, No Grid, No Gen. All household energy requirement are covered 100%.

I have been using hybrid vehicles since 2016, If you are a Hybrid Vehicle User, then you would know the peace of mind that comes with it.
My next vehicle will be full electric.

After training my kids through school, I want a situation whereby the only bill I have to pay will be TAX and VAT on transactions no paying for some damn energy that may not be cheap as time goes on.

I will advice everyone to go solar now. Energy Bills will never come down ever again !!!.

This post is not for the purpose of boasting, If God keeps me alive, I plan to attain this level of independence.

samnaija:
My brother, i am also of the same philosophy. Nigerians should wake up and give the government their light back. I don't use grid light or even gen.
Because of this
I . don't spend money buying fuel for gen .
2. No money for gen repairs.
3. Use gas less in my house, wife uses electric stove and microwave . This took a lot of convincing for my wife to agree to less gas, and more electric stove cooking.
4.another is water, use. Inverter to pump and heat water . perfect. Also i have water filter units so i dont buy cway or pure water bags. More savings.
5. Which you nailed is exactly wetin i dey look for an electric car, when i get this i can say boldly Nigeria dey your side, i dey my own. Na money yab person for this one.

samnaija:
Nexus 48v 2. 5 kva, this inverter i hardly used it. If you have a small 48v set up this is for you. The inverter does not leech on batteries. I used it in conjuction with my 5kva inverter. I used the 5kva in morning and afternoon, then switch to this very inverter 2.5kva at night.
Load . It can carry pumping machine
Ceiling fans, freezer and fridge. Standing type.
200k. Call zero , eight one 71080207.

Why are you renting gen. Oversize your system and no need to rent

Drgreatone:
That tv heavy small to carry for shoulder and I like soft life. The tv guy I know sabi say I be Doc and i dey fear hin billing plus not bin impressed wit some stuffs he fixed for me so no wan even take the risk

DOC as in DayOldChick 

samnaija:
Next smart key power inverter.
48v 5kva.
The small size will deceive you, wall mount. This bad boy was retired 3 years ago. Carries a lot of load and of course transformer based. Water heater , hot plate, pumping machine yes. But one at a time. The only difference from the other inverter no ac is recommended. But very reliable .
230k call zero eight one 71080207.

My setUp works with pumping machine BUT going by amount of load on the 2 setUps, coupled with the many large capacity Tanks I've got, I need not stress my setUp abeg so they serve me longer. Cost of renting Generator is Okay by me. Pumping machine wey go work from around 7 till late evening.

bassdow:
why do you keep highlighting Transformer Based in most of your posts ?

samnaija:
Okay, last month i bought a sako hybrid inverter from a nairalander here. To cater for the same thing. 3 tanks to be filled at least twice a day. 24v system. Just adding panels gradually but so far, it okay. How many litre tank do you fill.

bassdow:
You seem to need much more water than I do.

I pump water like 3 times a year. Have about 5 big tanks. Some are 5,000 litres. All for personal use. I know I could upgrade capacity of pumping machine BUT that would proportionally increase load.
Still have to use hotPlate during the day on a separate setUp. Make I get wetin I fit maintain abeg. No be say when e reach to spend money, I go begin do like person him rent go soon due

This has changed how I do solar.
Ease of installation, rock solid warranty and geo tags.

Please someone educate me as to why, OR if atall, what I'm saying isn't true;
But have you noticed these stand alone charge controllers don't come with high PV input. All I've seen is 145-150v max. Is there a particular reason or na because na me never see any yet?

How has your Sako hybrid experience been? I'm thinking of using it for a project. The pumping machine is how my HP and which of their capacity did you get?

Hi.
I need help with Felicity 100A charging controller.

It keeps giving high battery voltage error ( error 04) after working for about 1 hour with load of about 500w during sunny days.

The battery is a 24v battery but the CC reading can go as high as > 53v any time the error happens.

Measuring the battery voltage with voltmeter ... From the battery terminals the voltage remains within normal range ( e.g 24.7v) but at the CC terminal i get high readings)


The PV is 8 250w panels with total of 2000w in 4S2P configuration.

I have tried the following without success

* changing the battery from Lithium 24v to Amaron quanta.
* changing the battery selection from auto to 24v.
* using different Absorption and float voltages (e.g 13.7 and 13.9)

I need help solving this pls

@Wonder1844 , @futurenix how did you solve yours please

futurenix:
Take it to felicity service center for repairs. There is something not good about those new felicity solar charge controller.

They repaired it then but it developed another fault 2 weeks ago. Still thinking of how to send to them again.

samnaija:
I got it for a friend, so i only check up on the system on weekends. But what i could sample for now it carries one pump at a time.
2 surface pump ( 1hp).
1 submersible pump (1.5hp).

The first cycle starts in the morning 10 am.
Second pump cycle starts at 3 pm.
All 3 tanks are filled twice a day. For fish farming.

Sako hybrid 3.5 kva 24v.

compunigeria:
Chai! Not too good.

If you dont mind can you kindly drop your digits i have few more questions but wont like to derail the thread. My whatsapp number is on my signature below this.

Thanks for the prompt reply.

Please i need some claerification on a problem (not my personal system)

They have a 12volt 2.2kw hybrid inverter
6pcs of 550w jinko
2.1kwh lithium battery

its just for basic home usage no much load, not even fridge or freezer just pumping machine sometimes.

I personally adviced they can use the freezer when its sunny, they started doing that and it went well but one day they put on the freezer and the inverter entered error 58 and didnt work for 24 hours but later magicall started working again.

Now i am thinking what could have caused that because they said nothing else was even on when it happen, it was majorly just the freezer but it was just after they finished pumping water with it though.
maybe the high surge from the freezer compressor to pick up?
just want to understand what could have happened before they upgrade the system
