Your initial plan to get 200ah worth of lithium to be totally free of generator wahala makes sense if you ask me.

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

Also don't go for a solar generator, it makes very little sense unless you intend to be living in different places and be carrying it with you.

would 600-800k be enough to cover everything? including equipment purchase and cost of installation?

mctfopt:
Check a market near you. Or you can order from AliExpress

There's a high chance of buying fake in a market near me, can you point me to any shop in particular. The aliexpress link of a store that sells original will also be good. Thanks bro

Haisic 1.5kva inverter plus their 12v 280ah battery is about 650k.
No idea if the remaining will cover installation.

Fouani just dey do wetin sweet them this year.

I don't see why you'd have an issue with collecting the 580w and 590w sha. You'd just be losing 10w.

any company selling cheaper than them per watt?

I've seen identical per watt prices for Canadian and Trina panels.

The problem, as always, is being certain of authenticity.

the identical prices you saw did they come with free delivery of any sort?

Experts in the house, please are you familiar with Growatt 48V inverters and do they support higher voltage batteries (51.2V)? I am looking at the datasheet of a Growatt inverter - Growatt Inverter - 6kVA 48V (SPF 6000 ES Plus), and it doesn't say anything about support for higher voltage battery and ChatGPT is advising me to stick to a 48V battery. Thanks.

48v is just a nominal value. In reality, "48v" batteries operate between 48v to 57v or so. So yes, 51.2v is fine.

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.

I have told you what to do very fast, you have not done it. Okay o, don't waste your time with capacity test. The guy should have slept like 10 days in police cell already.

I will be frank with you, hope you are not the Alaroro type of person, cos na people like this technician (he is not an installer) dey show pepper.
No vex o

No idea about SMS batteries, so I can't give an opinion. Excellent price, though.

Yeah. Seems like good value. Versus the 1.4m I intended to buy the 5kwh Deye next week.

BigDickProblems:
Boss, do you still advise someone to get a solar Gen?
Honestly I wouldn’t advise him to do so.

Someday, he might decide to get a freezer or even a Tv, and upgrading will become a problem. The problems you mentioned are not big deal for a 100Ah battery and a sachet inverter.

Getting a Cworth 100Ah 12V, 1000watts Sachet inverter, a 30/45amps Felicity controller, and 2 units of 200watts 12V panels will beat any solar generator wrt price. I may be wrong, but this is what I have seen after using Qasa Solar Gen before now.

you’re right tho I was just considering his living space.

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.

The performance data is really abysmal but the battery at 25.4V is far from 0%, that's about 16% left.

Personally I would've preferred you opened the battery yourself except the warranty sticker has not been broken. So you can see whatever concoction that is inside or you even take it to Sako themselves to open.
Thereafter make sure those culpable are held to book.

The installer got a bad battery for me at first and told me that the product he wanted buying wasn’t in the market. I was very angry with him and asked him why he didn’t call me. I didn’t even use the first battery at all. I asked him to return it the next day. He said we should buy Sako buy that it’s not the same price. I was already getting fed up with the whole stories. Out of trust, I involved my friend that is a PRO in the market and sent the balance for the Sako battery to him and asked him to help my installer before those guys will give him another nonsense battery because I was beginning to doubt the competence of my installer but I felt that involving this guy as a PRO/task force officer in Alaba, the distributor would respect himself and give my installer the correct thing. We have returned battery to Alaba more than 3 times since I decided to go on this journey. It’s been so much stress.

I have not called the PRO yet as I don’t know how best to handle this matter but I’ll definitely have to go to Alaba myself with the installer. He has been begging me that he didn’t know anything about what they planned because he’s aware that I wanted to arrest him. My wife had been begging me not to arrest him yet that he might not be a party to the dirty plan really.

Chief, on a closer look at this issue. I know it may have died down but It seems that the SAKO people are also accomplices as well. Why? Because you said you took it to them to help you check the battery and they did after about some days, but they told you that nothing was wrong with the battery (this is what you said). Meaning that they taunted and hounded your intelligence as well.

Seriously, I’m not in any way asking you to cause trouble but these people (your PRO and SAKO people) are evil. I will leave you to decide for yourself what to do about this issue if you have all the evidence.

Modified:
This was your comment below:
“Now, here’s the issue. The battery was running down fast with just my standing fan of 70watts and charging of phones. It would go from full charge to less than 50% by morning even though I started the system around 10pm. I had to send it back. The factory tested it for 2 weeks and said the battery was good but that we have been charging it wrongly. They told the man (my installer) how to set the inverter to charge it well. I think they said it should charge at 15amps or so.”

BigDickProblems:
Some models of ecoflow allows for additional ecoflow batteries. Meaning that you can still buy just the battery and attach to an existing ecoflow system if you need more capacity.

Not sure this is possible. The extra battery (which makes you refer to it as being upgradable) is mostly used as a backup to charge the main battery. You can't connect an extra battery to the main Ecoflow, increasing its capacity. If you want to increase the backup time, you need to buy another full Ecoflow system and connect both in such a way that one will charge another one, while you use the one that is being charged

You're wrong. Ecoflow batteries can be upgraded by buying an extra battery: https:// www. jumia. com.ng /ecoflow-delta-pro-smart-extra-battery-3600wh-capacity-284217087.html
