it's close to 3 weeks now of active usage and I've never drained the battery no matter how hard I try.

A Fridge and a 43" smart TV with 2 ceiling fans all night has refused to drain the battery. It's very good.
size of the setup?

why preset the battery at 280ah when it can pull 290ah?
We will cut off at 12V

AVOID SO CALLED SOLAR GENERATORS.
Wrong advise in 2025.
God bless you bro
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by swagifted(m): 2:36pm On May 18, 2025
solar generators are good for mobility...you can just put in your car..drive to a park and garden and provide energy for several needs. with your fixed system at home am sure you cannot easily do the same.

If mobility ain't a part of use case you totally don't need a solar generator. But if you need power on the move or for a short stay at a location without power, then totally get yourself one.

Most of you don't know that some of us were chronic users of lead acids. I usually buy dead ones and wake them up with my Anjing AJ - 618F lithium/lead acid charger. I do this for clients to for free. Omo! Things don change now. My car battery is more than 2 years old as I still use this same charger to desulphate the acid. WHAT KILLS LEAD ACID IS SULPHUR IN LEAD PLATES which you can't stop especially when left for just few weeks uncharged. Most tubulars are heavily sulphated before getting to the country as most spend roughly 3 months on sea before offloading in Nigeria.

Now that something new has come.....

So when I see you guys debating this.....

Hard to type..

All thanks to @Sathob. He was last seen December 22, 2013 though.
How long do you charge a car battery before it resurrects from the dead?

Solar generators are actually good because they have a purpose. issue is even those who don't need one, buys it.

As for your suggestion, makes sense not because they are BAD, but because those who couple them are too greedy to use even half a decent quality parts.

Funny enough, if you source for quality Lithium cells / battery, buy a cheap charge-Controller ad a few other things, including Thick wires / cables, you're more than good to go.

Kindly disconnect it, if I must charge and solar is not enough, I use gen. Drama too much with Nepa

Though you need to rectify the earthing issue. The but is: na landlord house o
if He takes that to a technician, they can help him out.

Some landlords don't mind but some do.

Also if He could afford doing it without notifying anyOne, I think He should.

that is junctek KF series, only Bluetooth with app monitoring. Doesn't support wifi. Around 50k

The Junctek KM series is the one that support remote monitoring with wifi and Bluetooth connection. That's more expensive at around 80k and above.

The car battery didn't die but was used to desulphate it in order to prolong the life.

Do not open the battery!!!.....it is not a wise thing to do since there's a dispute, if you open it, you've faulted!...find a way to get evidence that the battery isn't what you paid for....report to gistlover, there are accounts on X that helps with such issues, make research and tag them...go on Facebook and report to blogs...

But, the Batteries was already opened, warranty seal already broken.
Opening it is just for him to be sure and have his evidence as well.

Hello,

How much PV Input wattage is normal under clear sunny sky for two 590W connected in series?

First day, around 127W, 300W for a few minutes (day was sunny one minute, cloudy the next)

Second day, about the same

Third day, around 400W, over 600W for a few mins (not as clear a day as the last two days but better for some reason)

Fourth day, finally saw 966W but only for a few minutes, mostly around 400W to 500W

Even the times it was cloudy but still bright, is 170W ish normal?

Inverter is Welion 24V,1.5kva with 40A mppt of 30 - 150voc
Cable is 6mm, 10yards distance from panels to inverter through Chint 63A breaker, SPD
Panels are mostly flat on the roof, they pick pv as early as 6:15am to 6:34pm
I trust the PV input number from the inverter LCD because most of it goes to charge the battery as shown on the battery BMS (only less the ~25W inverter takes to run)
Panels were gotten from Fouani


Maybe the panels need time to warm up 😂
I'll definitely observe for a few more days but it's hard listening to that inverter blasting on full fan even with less than 10% load. El-cheapo indeed.

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by psucc(m): 6:58am On May 19, 2025
Nice. Build! How much will it cost to have this setup witttth all necessary components.
Does it2,ww#ithh l$sss, have an inbuilt inverter, charge controller etc?
What and what can it power after sunset?
Strictly to be charged with solar panels, what wattage can do it in South South, with lesser sunlight?

I need to start somewhere. My major need is to charge laptop forr my work during daytime while the family powers tv(32"wink, Decoder and 6 units of 10w bulbs. Fans and others can wait.
