What is special about LiFePO4 batteries that we all must not use?

Did you not read the part of my post where I mentioned I can handle batteries? I have built other battery types that are even more complex than LiFePO4 and I don't see any big deal in doing same thing with lithium

Trippledots:
Meanwhile, I think Sako just thought outside the box of!

Stumbled on this power bank that Sako has. It uses a single 280ah LFP cells!

I have feeling the price will be dearth cheap. 😊

Why did you switch from using Growatt to Deye?

Dam5reey1:
Shege promax.. my inverter is still with Sygnite.
I can't shout jare. i am guessing they have some batches with some defects.

Deye would rather not work than to work and blow up.

Obnoxious2001:
Good morning house,
Please refer me to where I can buy fuse/fuse holder for solar panels in arena or anywhere within Lagos State.

Thank you 🙏🏾

Which is a better option?

650W Jinko Solar Panel

Or

650W Bifacial Solar Panel (Used don't remember the brand)

I was told Bifacial Panels tend to capture more power.

Not sure if Jinko Has Bifacial Panels

I am a Novice

Na tubular ambassador, no worry.

I power my 1.5 hp Genpal inverter AC (on gen mode level 1) with my 1700w Afripower hybrid inverter and 2 tubular batteries from 10am -2pm.

Not mounted vertically, but rather with space underneath, ideally over a reflective surface, to capture reflected sunlight on the rear side of the panel.

The tilt angle should be around 10° to 40°, depending on the region of the country.

Mounting it on a roof wastes the bifacial power gain and unnecessarily burdens your roof with more weight, as it is heavier than an equivalent conventional monofacial PV panel.

bassdow:
Even when well mounted, don't think the GAINs is worth the extra price

bassdow:
MorningStar and Deye actually are on the expensive side for a lot of us. Something like epEver is much cheaper and has high quality.
Mind you, cost of a small used ePever charge Controller is a lot higher than a brand new high amperage and voltage charge controller from all the funny names out there.

Hi gurus.

Someone gave me this bill.

What do you think?

Major reason I try as much as possible to avoid going for repairs. I recall when I said something against sachet inverters, and some One / people argued that the parts are readily available and could easily be fixed. Me just dey look dem. People wey don go through stress of finding technician, then they charge you high, still give you time to collect which by the Day and Time you go for collection, you're told one story or the other; and you fit go there like multiple times before frustration go take over. No one tells you such, but all sweet talk till you experience it.

By the time you add cost of transportation, cost of repairs (depending on how many times you repair it), + other stress, and costs, no be to kukuma buy better product even if na Tokunbo or 2nd Hand.

rarely do I even listen to all the Warrantes and Guarantees.


Major reason the moment I know a couple of (average) quality ones, I stick with them. Client wey complain of costs, or chooses to shop for themselves, me no go even argue, I go just bill you for installation; unlike those wey go dey vex say you go buy your things yourself.

mctfopt:
Don't buy lead acid battery in 2025, especially when you have plans to run inductive loads such as AC.

That's all I have to say here.

HeavenlyBang:
Terrible quote.

For one, we do not recommend tubular batteries on this thread anymore.

- Switch that inverter to a 5KW 48v one. Buy from Growatt or SRNE or Felicity. Same price.

- Buy a 5kwh 48v Lithium battery. You can buy from Valto here, or Deriy, or talk to Dam5reey1. Same price or even cheaper than what you've been quoted.

- Buy six 620w Jinko panels from Fouani. 830k.

Solar cable you need is 6mm and they don't cost more than 4k per yard. That's 80k. Also no need for a battery rack with a lithium battery.

Buy all of these yourself. Let the installer buy the other accessories and you pay for installation. You should save yourself about 150k doing this and you'd have a significantly better setup.

AndroBlaze:
Would I be right to guess that you have solar panels?

let him just continue and enjoy his money's worth, the batteries are gone already.

Dabss:
2 years plus still serving me well. Also the reason why I have seen the need to upgrade lithium batteries cos anybody buying used tubular batteries will buy as scrap. I have enough solar panels to cover for the load so I don’t see how it’s a problem for the batteries.

fuckboys:
i went to their office myself and checked out both haisic and bread. I'm beating my chest and telling you that bread is a better inverter. Better mppt specs, 60a against 100a, better pv voltage range

Single cooling fan and air vent on haisic against dual cooling fan and 2 air vents on each side on the bread. (This alone means better performance)

I held both on my hands.
