Hi House,

I'm looking for your opinions on Haisic battery systems for backup power, as I'm not going fully off-grid due to landlord restrictions on solar panels. I'm on Band A power, which is mostly reliable, but we can experience outages of 16+ hours during rainy seasons.

My peak load is under 400W (excluding my fridge/freezer and a 150L Thermocool, which are currently off my 12V 105Ah inverter system). My total household consumption is around 700W according to my prepaid meter. I'm aiming for at least 14 hours of backup to get through the night with the 400W load, then I can use my generator to recharge and power the freezers.

I've seen a Haisic system advertised (though I'm relying on European specs due to some deceptive local marketing). The 24V 300Ah system costs ₦1.250m.

My main question is about system voltage:

Stick with a 12V system (e.g., Haisic 12V 280Ah for ~₦650k)?
Go for the Haisic 24V 300Ah system at ₦1.250m?
Or, is it worth waiting and stretching my budget (around ₦1.3m) for a 48V 5kWh system? I've read that jumping to 48V might be better in the long run.

Growatt - 640k

The vendor I am buying everything from including panels and battery is quoting 640k. I prefer to source everything plus accessories and installation from a single source.

When I had issue like this,the problem was from the bms.so I loaded the battery overnight, then started charging again the next day.

Maybe u can try this out

Some of you guys are just too weird and bizarre on this space. 9ja thing is always the opposite. Too toxic. Thank God I am exiting this country in a few years

That would be minus 1.
Hope it is not the UK? Colos plenty there oo bc na so so work work. If na US too you go see full definition of weird and bizzare. Greet Trump biko. At least you don't need solar there. You are free to run your appliances at full guage. Leave this space for us sir.

Hope you know the difference between few years and a few years?

“I Began Collecting Them Years Ago and Now Have Over 650”:

This Man Has Been Powering His Home With Laptops Since 2016
An ordinary homeowner turned discarded laptop batteries into a powerful energy source that has kept his house running for nearly a decade. This surprising approach combines old tech with solar power in an unexpected way.

24 440 watt capacity panels
Each battery pack is rated at 100 amp hours

Since 2016, a dedicated energy autonomy enthusiast in Farmingdale, New York, has been powering his entire home using more than 650 recycled laptop batteries. His system is installed in a shed roughly fifty meters from his house, where discarded lithium-ion cells are carefully harvested and assembled into a custom battery array. This unconventional energy solution combines recycled batteries with solar panels to create a fully off-grid power system, providing continuous electricity for nearly a decade.

Hi HeavenlyBang. Morning bro. Back in 9ja and want to purchase the setup this week for a final installation on Sat. However I am still struggling with the issue of choice of battery. I have my eye set on a Felicity rated 7.5kwh 48V LiFePo4 at a decent price. But after doing a quick review research online, it appears some Felicity are known to not give 100% of their rated capacity. Please I need a final guidance from you before I go ahead and commit to a vendor today. Also going for a Growatt 6kva with Wifi monitoring and Jinko 620W panels. Thanks.

Mavor:
yes i have left this space for una. considering i am making the purchase today, maybe you will buy it from me in 2 years as used when I am leaving. lets hope dollarnaira is not 1 to 10000 by then. the average Nigerian be forming impatient mini-god, on top knowledge and experience that can be acquired with time by anyone with a functional brain. arrogant attitude you cannot see from the avg person in the West. Big thanks to HeavenlyBang for your patience and guidance. Best of luck to you all.

Please, does anyone have any experience with inverter being exploded?

A customer called and told me yesterday that his 5kva 48v Felicity hybrid inverter exploded at about 8pm and smokes were every where.

Though I'm sending someone to his house today to check what actually happened but I tried asking him certain questions to know what actually happened. He told me there was nepa light (low current) but the house was running by the solar. The weather was normal and lightning/thunder at all.

The installation was perfectly done.
