Are there solar solutions and tech that reduce size of panels? Coz all the big watt panels around Europe I see are still all very big. They can weight 30kg.

Any new tech?

In my case, I foresaw these logistics delays, plus delays in confirming my payment if I pay online, so I decided to go their office at Omole, paid there, and instructed them to deliver the panels to their office at Omole so that I can come pick up there.

Even with this seemingly simple arrangement, it still took a week for them to call me to come pickup.

BigDickProblems:
Wow!
I’m definitely getting it tomorrow 😀
Can I get the contact of this dealer pls? I might go there today infact!

HeavenlyBang:
How do I clean my panels?

I've tried hosing them with a some dish soap and water, then just water, but there remains a thin layer of dust/grime on them.

Not sure how much that affects my output, though, but I want them as clean as possible. Do I try using hot water?

Use a mop and clean water. You may do it like thrice to get that very clean look.

Penuelseun:
have you tried using a mop stick to clean them in addition to water?

diabeticdeals:
Pressure wash it.

fuckboys:
I don't have a contact, even the mppt dealer I bought I don't even have his number.

I price at about 3 places and bought where the price was reasonable.

BigDickProblems:
Ok. We just installed the new panel today to parallel to the old one to generate more current, alas, there is no difference. So I am suspecting the PWM controller is the issue here. I don’t understand how I will be getting 70Watts at peak sunlight from a 360Watss panel. How on earth is that even possible.

January, Gods grace, I’ll get a good MPPT and see if there will be any difference.

fuckboys:
Chai, that means the pwm controller is not efficient at all. Mppt controller is your solution chief, you'd get at least 200w from those panels.

brightk:
reasonably priced....u can go with sako brands

@valto can help u out..

make u sef use the change on top guide

BigDickProblems:
Honestly, it’s quite annoying. Yeah I will get the MPPT. Thanks!

Same solar panel setup ( 2 x 335 watts panel ) in parallel.

60 amps PWM CC delivering max of 9 amps at peak
Upgraded to 40 amps MPPT CC delivering above 21 amps at peak.

Huge difference made by mppt CC

Its about wrong panel sizing.

You are using the wrong panels on the PWM..
PWM is designed to have panel close to the battery voltage.
On a 12V system
You should use a panel with VMP of 18V max. Not a 335w panel.

If you use Panel with 18V VMP, the PWM will out shine the Toy MPPT.

amicdan:
Lols. This oga is funny o.
What is with the Toy MPPT remark?

Thanks any way my toy mppt is serving the purpose.

bleexInc:
How much is 5kwh lithium battery

toscotech:
Do you have 4.2kva/24v and what is the price

BigDickProblems:
But I’m using 2 panels of 18V VMP on a 60Amps PWM controller, highest I get is 14.8V and 5.1Amps. Can you kindly explain that?

skywalker95:
Good afternoon. The 63amps DC breaker for my setup got spoiled. I want to know how or where to get original product for replacement because I heard a lot of breakers at alaba are fake. Thank you.

Dam5reey1:
2 panels of how many watts? How was it connected, what brand?

I have a small set up like that where PWM is on par with MPPT. Because the panels perform to their rated capacity.

redgem:
Please....who has 60w - 80w panel and charge controller for sale?

loluskysat:
How many do you need? I have three 60w, four 80w solar panels and one 30 amps charge controller for sale.

obitobe:
Check you manual its either call Charge voltage (C.V)/ Bulk voltage. then you will see float volatge too, check does settings and see what are the figures there.
