Does not seem legit, but thanks much
He mostly buys from people and resells. As for how legit He is, I presume you shouldn't have issues if you transact in person after doing thorough checks.

My issue with una for Nairaland is, una prices often above the roof.

My SRNE 3.3KW hybrid inverter handles my water heater like a champ. Water heater is around 2.5kw.
Nice. Even though I use my 1500w pressing iron on my 3.5kva Sako inverter I've been having mixed feelings using it on my 1700w electric kettle. Smh.

As long as it's a good brand (which I think Sako is, since they sell Axpert-based designs), it'll deliver what it's rated for. There are plenty of load tests on YouTube showing SRNE inverters carrying even more load than they're rated for. Resistive loads like heating elements are also easier to handle than inductive loads.

Just don't run those heavy loads off your battery, so you don't kill it. Only use when PV production is high. I have a 160aH battery, and try never to go past ~50A discharge on it, which is around 0.3 C.

Funny thing is, we don't need such app most time. I see these things as nothing but selling point and means to extract more money from people but then, it keeps them in business
I am not sure, I force you to need it either. Infact you dont need a phone with wifi..

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!
Scientifically, it is IMPOSSIBLE for solar to produce 100% of rated power due to power loss via heat, distance and other factors. Not ever possible.
That you are claiming over 100% power generation shows something is wrong or fishy in your marketing. Either that or your (never seen) solar charger is giving false figures (many weak brands make their device to do that).
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by samistry(m): 10:09am On Oct 23, 2024
Haven't had power for more than a week now due to transmission line wahala in northern Nigeria. Even when I did, it was 2 hours light day time as Na Band D nepa put us.
Is getting the mtn lumos advisible or should I get normal solar and inverter?
I need to power laptop, phones, rechargeable fan and 40inch TV.
My budget is 400-500k

Stop saying what you don't know! I spoke with another "Solar Installer" until i showed him proof it is possible.

Do not forget the panel wattage are rated +/- in terms of efficiency.

Below is my own Solar setup showing the Specs sheet.

According to the spec sheet 16 x 390W is meant to be 6,240W @ 100% while you can see I was getting 6,340

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by dapsyra(m): 10:53am On Oct 23, 2024
There is no science in your assertion. Never say never.

Most solar panels are rated at 25deg. temperature and 1000W/m2 insolation. This implies that when those conditions are met, the panel will produce 100% of the rated power. When conditions are exceeded, the panel will produce above 100% of rated power. Similarly, when conditions are suboptimal, the panel will produce below rated value.

For every degree above 25, the solar panel will derate by a factor called Temp Coefficient. Conversely, the panel will over produce for every degree below 25 by same factor.

During raining season, especially immediate after the rain, conditions might align favourably. Temp is well below 25deg, the sky is blue because rain have cleared the clouds, so insolation is above 1000W/m2, panels have been washed clean by rain and panels are optimally aligned. Under these conditions, any reputable panel will produce well above its rated power.

I have seen 625w panels producing over 750w under favourable conditions. This is not a case of dodgy SCC over stating production. Measurements were recorded by Midnite Classic 150 SCC -one of the best SCC ever made.

it could be anything from as little as disconnected wire to probably a spoilt something.

Best you look for any repairer; those who repairs Radio and TV appliances should be able to help you out.

Even the Manufacturers of Solar panel don't give 100% accurate & exact specs. All they do is estimate. Imagine make Seller / Marketer come dey give 100% ratings.

Only way for them to give 100% of their rated capacity is, if they were underRated. Na simple physics. Can't recall how many times I've tried doing something but couldn't; only to later realize I was trying to go against a LAW or theory.
Just like trying to go against Law-Of-Gravity

It's always CHEAPer buying a real solar system, than those portable systems.

Your budget of 500,000 naira should cover you if properly used. Just that you WOULD have to rely on mix of NEW & USEd items.

Buy brand new Battery (only buy USED if you or whoEver is helping you, knows what you/they doing)
Buy other things USED

In all, na that your TV go be load. Hopefully it ain't plasma to begin with.

Now to answer your question directly, MTN Luminous can't power your load. Hopefully, you very much aware you still have to make daily subscriptions

Temperature well below 25°C in Nigeria during the sunny time of the year, where? My panels generally sit around 40°C, for example. Yes, even after rains.

The average solar setup in this country is probably never going to make higher than 90-95% of rated output at any time in its lifespan. And if a charge controller or inverter displays a reading of over 100%, odds are, well, the reading is wrong.

There is High Voltage PV input for a while now, Victron has 48V version, SMS a cheaper option as well 48V

It is a technology thing.. 150V uses Buck converters.

High VOC CC operating like the High voltage inverters. Where DC is converted directly to AC then charge or power load.
Pls can you point me to the victron and sms CCs you are talking about?

Wrong assumptions. Men have tested and showed that clamp meter, bms and CC are in agreement and that 100% has been exceeded many times.

On many occasions, in many places in Nigeria, on a clear day, insolation is usually in excess of 1000w/m2.
1000W/m2 is not the maximum solar insolation you can get but just the test condition in the lab.

It is simple really. The ratings on the panels were measured under certain conditions which are listed. If those conditions are EXCEEDED, the measured wattage will go up and exceed the label ratings. It is science. I had also briefly seen my yield exceeding the label. And my panels are even 2nd tier Flame solar panels.

However, it is also important to recognize that many charge controllers tend to show higher yield than the actual yield. I don't know whether this is a limitation of the measuring equipment or deliberate fraud.
