chief just get yourself a solar generator and add solar panels later, your power needs isn’t enough yet for a full solar system.

And I’m recommending this based on your space, a self contained apartment doesn’t have room for a solar System. You wouldn’t want inverter and battery steadily blowing hot air into your space and with all the fan noise. It’s just a single room we’re talking about here.

I said I wasn't going to put mouth in this again, but your wife is wrong.

The installer was part of it, there is no doubt, unless he is truly an electrician and an illiterate, that's the only way you can exclude him.

They likely just removed the cells in the Sukhig battery you rejected and transplanted them into the Sako casing, which is why that battery will even struggle to do the 2.5kw for 100amps sef!!

Please, like I said, make sure the lessons you learn from this experience exceeds the money you've temporarily lost ooo.

wundakind:
Please I'm new to this space. I'm in same boat as him and I plan on using your advice.
Any suggestion on solar generators. I don't seem to know any.

fuckboys:
eh for Lagos self-contained abi?

That one no be self-contained again na duplex

Good morning gurus in the house,

I am intending to change my 24V gel (lead-acid) type batteries to 48V LiFePO4 batteries and I came across some batteries that appear good on AliExpress. I am a bit sceptical about buying the 48V LiFePO4 batteries on AliExpress and shipping it down to Nigeria.

Please, does anyone have any experience on buying LiFePO4 batteries on AliExpress.

Guys please i plan on getting a 200ah lithium battery (or two 100ah ones) and i plan to run them with solar panels.I'm new to this solar thing and I'm a single guy in my 20's and will soon be moving out of my parents house. I don't want to have anything to do with generators and i want to be completely off grid. I've already paid for a single room self contain and i've bought a single 40watt standing fan(for my room), four light bulbs(one 20watt and three 10watts) and a new laptop that has a battery capacity of 68wh. Those are the only things that would consume electricity in my apartment, asides other very minor things. My worry now is that would 200ah be too much or too little for my electricity needs? i need to charge my laptop at most 3 times a day (under intensive use), two of the bulbs would be in my room while the others would be in the kitchen and bathroom respectively(i would rarely need to use those two). the bulbs in my room would typically be on from 6pm to 12am(when i usually sleep) and the fan is the only thing that i think might need to be on 24/7 (not necessarily though).

KudozInteriors:
Good morning great minds

Thanks to everyone once again for last time.

I’m back with reports as I’ve connected the shunt to the battery and loaded it all through last night. These were the final readings:

1st and 2nd picture: Shunt reading at the start and at the end of the experiment respectively.

3rd and 4th picture: Battery reading at the start and end of the experiment respectively.

Darey00:
Good morning guys, please I need help with my MPPT controller. I can't seem to get it to charge my battery even though there is PV input.

This is 10am, I drained the battery to 12.0v overnight and by 7.30am it had already gotten to "full" level at 12.8v and started flashing (mppt mode off), I plugged about 323w of load in it because it was pulling in like 560+w at the time.

To my suprise, the inverter voltage went down to 11.9v (22% load). After 2 hours I removed the fridge to about 14% load and the voltage went to 12.1v. funny enough the mppt still maintained that the battery is full and so it refuses to charge the battery or fast. I have the Manual with me and I don't know how to go about it.

My system: 12v 200ah tubular battery, 2*300w and 1 585w panel.

BigDickProblems:
But if at all you want to go for a Solar Gen just like suggested, then I’ll advise you go for ecoflow, because it’s upgradable (I.e the battery) and efficient too.

HeavenlyBang:
No offense but this is the kind of thing that happens with tubular batteries

The really funny thing here is that this battery isn't even up to 2.5kwh

AndroBlaze:

Though to be honest, I wish people would just mention their budgets so advice can be short and straight to the point.

omotoda:
It is more like 80ah Grade c cell

In fact, I dont know what this oga is still waiting for.

Both the PRO and the installer should be in detention now.

All you need tell police is until they provide the quality you paid for, they should not be released.Na small money e go cost you.And you get an independent installer to confirm what they eventually supply before release.How can people be so wicked?

In this hard economy?

KudozInteriors:
Thank you so much sir.

Yes I have panels and now I’m doubting everything.

The 550 watts bi-facial I bought myself is bigger than the 550watts Canadian panel the installer got for me.
I started making purchases myself after I couldn’t trust anybody including the installer.

I’d told him that he shouldn’t get panels from me that I’ll get from fouani myself but he told me that he knows where he can get good Canadian panels that will behave like jinko or even do better. That’s it has been his work for years and he knows the best. All these his claims were lies.

I’ve told him to come and carry the 2 panels he got for me and balance me my money. I think the ones I got are doing better. I don’t even know how to confirm that even though I read that shunt can be used to confirm the capacity of panels.

KudozInteriors:
The installer lives close to me. He travelled and came back two days ago. He came to my house yesterday and I told him that I bought a shunt to test the battery capacity. I’d already asked the Sako distributor at Alaba if the battery he gave to me was 25.6v; 200ah and he was beating about the bush but later answered me that that was the battery given to me.

The installer called me back few minutes after leaving my house and told me that the distributor called him and told him that one of my friends at Alaba who happens to be a PRO there and works in their task force caused the whole issue. I contacted that my friend when they first sent me one battery called Suhkig and I rejected it. So I called him to help me go and make sure those distributors give my installer a good and renowned product. They said the PRO came and met them ahead of time and discussed with them on how to make money from me. They said he told them that I’m like a brother to him and that anything he tells me in Alaba market, I’ll do it. They said they had to record the conversation as they were scared it might backfire. I sent their balance to this PRO so that once he confirms everything , he will transfer to them. So they gave me a bad battery because according to them, he didn’t give them the complete money. This PRO at Alaba has been like a brother to me for the past 5 years. I bought almost all my appliances through him and he has never sent a bad product to me before. I just call him and he meets the direct importers and tells me the price of any commodity I wanna buy and it’s always cheaper than normal market price. I in return bless him financially and with airtime severally.
I even bought my inverter freezer through him last week.

So, they said that if he can return the money he withheld, they will give me my complete 5Kwh battery. I’ve just been in shock since.

HeavenlyBang:
This so much. The modular nature of solar means all kinds of functional setups can be designed based on budget.



54% SoC for less than 1kwh. By my calculations, that's actually around a 70aH battery

I'd personally just ask for a complete refund tbvh.

Darey00:
Jesus Christ 😂😂 I've scattered that controller today and read the manual from cover to cover with no headway. This is valuable insight.

Make I go open Target savings to upgrade to Lithium later this year. Thanks boss

CodeTemplarr:
there are lower capacity panels people label with higher values to rip others off. Something of circa 300-350w is re-labelled as 600w. Wicked world.

KudozInteriors:
Not 54% SOC sir

I charged it to 91% and discharged to 0% to get that value. The value below.

KudozInteriors:
This is the wattage I got from the panel this afternoon but the inverter was showing 547watts or so.
(NB: I attached picture from shunt below)

And on the day this system was finally installed, I asked the installer why the wattage on that hot afternoon was only 300watts. He said that it’s because that’s what the inverter needed from the sun to both charge the batteries and give me light. He now asked me to add more load to it to see how it behaves. I added more load and it rose up to above 700watts that day. He said if I keep adding more loads, it will keep increasing and taking what it needs to both give me light and charge the batteries. I don’t know if this is true though I saw it with my eyes.

After that day, when they said that the battery has been dying fast because I was charging it at 60ahms instead of 15ahms. The distributor gave him directions on how to reset my inverter and I don’t know what he did reset on it that day.
