I have finally bought the iron few minutes ago. Thanks thanks thanks. cool. My battery will rest after loading its life with 1100w iron at 90A iron on 100ah. Which lead acid go survive this kind ruggedity?

Though am used to steam iron functions but this era is teaching us to seek for alternatives. I had to spray water via a spray bottle grin.

Exactly 300w!!! grin grin grin

Once again thanks bro.
Now looking for maximum of 500w oven

Valtech Energy 24v 50ah 1.280kwh lifepo4 lithium battery + Welion 24v 1.5kw hybrid inverter with 40A mppt @520k
then u get 2pcs of 400w or 555w panels.
@Munchies this option is best for you

Hello great people, I’ve been following this thread all through these past months, and I must admit that I have learnt a lot. Please I have a serious and interesting question on an observation :
I have 2 charge controllers, MPPT and PWM

With MPPT @ 12:30pm with few loads on it
Panel output:182.6Watts
The battery voltage indicator reads 13.4Volts but the MPPT controller is reading 14.9Volts suggesting that it understands that the battery is full. But this is not the case. So it reduces the power coming in from my panel and keeps that voltage without any addition for about an hour which is not normal.


With PWM and with the same loads on it
Panel output: 203.52Watts
The battery voltage indicator reads exactly the same as that of the PWM controller and in just about 15-20mins it takes my battery voltage from 13.4V to 14.6V meaning it’s charged to full capacity with the PWM.

Please what could be ascertained from this test pls?
Thanks in anticipation

i doubt u can get, but i use a Samsung oven, that has different consumption levels, u can set from 150w to 900w.

can u go deeper on this. If support can't help u, can't the inverter be returned?

Has anyone noticed how Lifepo4 batteries seems to have flooded the market? Followed a colleague to Alaba for some electrical purchases and couldn't but wonder the various types of Lifepo4 in different names ,shapes and sizes in the market.I hope guys have not started packaging rubbish from China in the name of Lifepo4 cells.
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Hybrid600: 7:25am On Jan 12, 2025
The packaged rubbish is sure na, they're everywhere in the market. That's why it's very important to follow who know road so one doesn't waste hard earned money on inferior products.

Good morning please who knows 12v 1kva inverter that can use lithium battery also can this inverter be setting be edited to use lithium

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by chris81964(m): 9:34am On Jan 12, 2025
Harmattan is here. How do your panels look? If you are in Lagos they don't look good. Dust has covered them and your production has been degraded / reduced. Your batteries are not getting a full charge.
See how I cleaned my panels. You can do the same thing I did.

The charging profile can't be edited. You can use it for Lithium although you'll need to be mindful of the Low Voltage Discharge (LVD)cut off depending on your Lithium battery profile.This inverter amongst other Indian type inverters cut of voltage at 10.5-10.8v.There are some Lithium batteries now with LVD at 10.8v.I think @linnovo has this Powmr Lithium that should be compatible with your inverter.@Valto to has inverter and LFP combo that you can. ook at.

Euronet, transformer based 1.1kva. has settings for lifepo4. Standby consumption of just 12w.
800w peak output.

Guys i need help


I just recently installed my solar
5kw battery
5kva inverter
100A solar charge controller
9 panels 450w

The battery charges full in the morning before 11-12 but after then, it stops charging until the next day

Why is this?
How can i solve

Which brand of charge controller?
Check the battery charge recovery settings, till your battery falls below this voltage it won’t charge.

Do you have load connected? Do you use it? Whatvdo you mean by it stops charging? Once your load is connected do you.mean it does not charge and drains your battery? It would be best to explain further? Is it connected to grid as well?

The load shown on the inverter is less than 10%

The solar controller charging light blinks but i see only 36w and this is constant.

The sun is very hot and so surprising

The charging light is flashing and the wattage is 32. In the morning i see up to 1.5kw

I’m experiencing the same thing here too with the same controller.

It will stuck at 13.3V on my battery and will still power few loads but will not charge anything even at about 200watts input from the panel.
I use LifePO4

Can it work with Nepa supply of 220v? to reduce energy cost
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by dbshaywhy(m): 3:06pm On Jan 12, 2025
To God be the glory, I finally switch to the lifepo4 battery user after 2 years of planning. I now enjoy uninterrupted power supply, run appliances simultaneously (no heavy appliances). Am very sure Nepa self go dey vex on me by now... Still having 120+ units on my prepaid since month of October.

please what is the moderate/maxiumum current rating for solar pv cables (4/6/10/16mm2).. Would aprreciate a chart or any other information as a guide

can i rate dem as normal A.C electrical cables..
