Please in this situation, what hack can help?

HeavenlyBang:
Laying your panels flat on a roof is an easy lifehack until they start hitting 80°C.

HeavenlyBang:
Image isn't clear but you need a 100A CC ideally for your 2460w PVs. You're bottlenecked by your charge controller.

Also, like the comment above says, you're also limited by your batteries (tubular ideally should be charged at a max of 0.2C, which would be 44A).

Effectively, you are overpaneled. Technically nothing wrong with that since it just means your setup can work at its peak performance even in less than peak irradiance. But it also means you'll never get the full utility of your pv array.

Thank you for your input Sir

Now, should I get 100A CC to replace the 60A CC since I am not upgrading the batteries now or I should stick with the 60A for now

My main aim now is to charge my battery faster without connecting to the grid

Await your suggestion

If you are on a tight budget and need an inverter that can carry significant household appliances, then you should consider our Easun 3000w Pure sine wave inverter

Price: 100,000naira

Features:

- Truly pure sine wave. No humming sound from your devices

- Consumes little (around 7w) to power itself from your batteries, leaving you more juice to power your main load (appliances), hence more backup time from your batteries

- Can power significant household loads like refrigerators/deep freezers, microwave, blender, toasting machine, and occasional heavy loads (like pressing iron, 1hp pumping machine and inductive cooker, rated 1100w and lower). Just make sure your batteries can support the significant load consumption from these appliances

- Inverter can be easily repaired; we have a dedicated technician for its repairs and we stock the critical parts to ensure swift repairs. To further minimise downtime hours, we can swap out a faulty inverter for a working one immediately. Terms and Conditions apply

Ur limiting factor is your battery so even if u change to 100amps, u might end up boiling ur battery.
Tubular battery charges slowly. Read up the 3 stage charging stages for tubular and also the need to equalize monthly

Leave the set up as it is.I really do not know what your concern is from the image but your batteries are already fully charged and floating at 27.1v.I am not sure you will get full current from the panels due to energy losses . I guess your panel connection will be 2 s2p.

With the number of panels you have does it charge the batteries fully every day

Na so..

DIY all the way!

Growatts 6kw
jinko 8* 550
Deriy 30kwh..

the green light was it flashing very fast as at the time of snapping this picture or was it flashing very slow. its likely your battery has entered floating stage.

Greetings
Please I need the help of everyone
Just yesterday I bought 4 pieces of jinko 615kw from fouani

It was installed on 5kva felicity inverter, 2 pieces of 220ah battery and 60ah felicity charge controller

The image below is what my charge controller is showing this afternoon, is this normal or is the connection wrong?

bassdow:
You don't just get the point Sir.
Not saying don't use Lithium, or that Lithium is bad.

my point is to be sure of the dealer, brand, and that you can afford it.

There are people who can't easily afford a battery. in fact when their battery goes bad, they need wait till they are able to sell it off, before adding money to buy another.
Such people got no business with Lithium battery becauuse they easily would be swayed by cheaper / lower price points. Same with those who wanna make some money from sale of their USEd bad batteries.

Also to best of my knowledge, it's much easier buying FAKE or sub-standard Lithium battery , than a regular deep cycle battery.

Every thing has got it's place.

Same way, there are situations best suited for SSD disks; despite how good they are, not adviceAble to use for long data storage (archival purposes).

Thanks to the likes of Luminous and a few others, at least person fit enter their showRoom buy and be sure to some extent.

All the issues with Lithium is due to proliferation of the battery by different Chinese manufacturers which is why I still like the Powmr sold by @linnovo.He gave a detailed capacity test video and dismantled the battery to show the quality of cells.Its charging profile is also suitable for most type of inverters.The only limitation for me is that it comes only in blocks of 12v and having to series 4 units for a 48v system.Even at that considering each has a 100AMP BMS and all cells are in series it should be fine but still worth investigating further

if you continue praising any brand, before you know it, boys go begin impersonate those brands.

Another thing is, people who are price conscious, should avoid Lithium batteries because in their search for Cheaper options, they could fall for the FAKEs.

Those who can't afford replacing an entire 48-volts battery should avoid Lithium - With Tubular / SLA / GEL batteries, if you're (temporarily) unable to afford the entire batch, you could replace them individually even though it's not often advice-able but with proper balancing, it's workAble BUT in Lithium, a Single cell could render the entire battery bank useLess.
Yea I know about cell replacement BUT most people don't know how to do that and the few who could, often are far away. Let's not talk about their HONESTy + Reliability.

Some of us need that money made from selling bad / weak / condemned batteries. At least person fit sell, add the difference and get another battery.

So you see, Lithium might be very good BUT like everything else, has got it's PROs and CONs. Marketers / Dealers focus mostly on the PROs but you the consumer need consider their CONs also because at end of the day, should things go south, it's your funds on the line.

Please kindly do well to equally share with us how easily rePairAble this is.
Me can't imagine spending over 100,000 naira (including wayBill / Transportation) and not have the rest of mind it's rePairAble.

Another is, if cost of rePairs, is not negligible enough, then it's another NO. Make cost of rePairing 3 times no go be money wey go buy a brand new one. That Penny-Wise Pounds-Foolish.

You probably forgot mentioning if those heavy loads you listed above would be powered consecutively or individually. Say dem rate am 3,000-Watts , no mean say e no fit cry if you give am 2,500-Watts.

Gone are those days I suggest sachet inverter to those on tight budget. Those days, their costs were negligible enough; and even at that, I don't recommend to those needing anything beyond 1000 watts.

100,000 naira fit be small money for some people, to others, na over big money Ooo.

Abeg no vex, I'm not hear to spoil anyOnes market.

You see eh, fast charging (including on phones), kills batteries faster.

My own is, ensure you got a quality charge controller and from your PV array, and like already said, you need at least 100Ah charge Controller.

Love the fact your Solar panels are overSized. Hopefully, your day load is able to take advantage of those. If properly done, your battery should only work more at Night than during the day.

Batteries are costly but Solar panels are cheaper hence pays to overSize the Solar panels, than having a large battery bank except in certain cases

How does your CC determine the temperature of the panels.

HeavenlyBang:
Laying your panels flat on a roof is an easy lifehack until they start hitting 80°C.

The 3 are all tier 1 panels, you can't go wrong with any of them just make sure you buy from a reputable dealer especially Canadian solar panels.

I'm currently using Longi and Jinko.

Rhaspody:
Longi or jinko or Canadian Solar panels which is better

It's not about how many amps CC you use but how well the charging profile is set for your batteries.

Tubular batteries requires 3 stage charging with different voltages and current and equalization at some point (try reading up the charge profile of tubular batteries or check the specs of the one you're using).

If you charge them incorrectly you will end up either undercharging them or cooking them.

I can see we're all concerned about battery charging voltage/current.

Can someone enlighten us on the best voltage and current to charge different types of battery chemistry?

For me the best charge voltage and current is according to the battery specs on the battery as there's no one size fits all type of charge profile.

Good evening. Please, I've had my tubular battery for about 3 months now and it goes from bulk charging to float. I've never seen it do equalization. Is there a way to do this manually or will my charge controller do this when the battery needs it?

Good evening house.
Please how reliable are Yohako inverters?

My brother, that temperature shown on that screen is the room temperature where that System is installed and such high temperature is not healthy for your Inverter, Battery and CC. It's gone way above the threshold.

Except of course you can show us the Temperature Sensor attached to the PV and wired back to the Inverter to get this reading.

HeavenlyBang:
That's pv temperature, not inverter temperature.

Decentlyproud:
Please in this situation, what hack can help?

Looking at the screenshot, would say that temperature reading is temperature of where the charge Controller is installed (room/parlor, etc). Hopefully that ain't inside a bakery's oven. not healthy for anything Solar (battery, inverter, charge controller, etc).

As for ensuring your Solar panels don't get too hot, what I do is ensure there's enough space between the roof and the Solar panel to allow proper air circulation. Especially on Zinc and/ or Aluminium roofing sheets

Your system has no fault why worry?

Too much information don dey cause harm .


On your controller, the only thing you can Change or modify for the equalisation is the time it should take

https://www.nairaland.com/7833852/3000w-easun-pure-sine-wave

The only thing I see worth addressing in your post is your comment about the load it can carry:
In my original post, I implied that the cumulative load placed on the inverter should not be more than 1,100w. Also, in the video I posted, these loads were applied alternatively.
