So as you clearly admit, it's your panels carrying your AC and not your battery which means you inadvertently made a misleading comparison to the original case where no panels were used; and that's why everyone is assuming you've killed your batteries.

It's fine though and as you've also pointed out you are thinking about going lithium.....and if you could prove that your LA batteries are in top condition, you are still likely to get higher than scrap value for them since you have maintained them so well.
Is there a market for used tubular batteries?

Sure there is. That's what they sell in major markets like Arena and so on. My first sets of LA batteries were mainly used batteries.

If you are so sure of the quality/capacity of your batteries, post it here and try the main clearance thread.

What is the phenomenon called in which if you turn off a fan or an amplifier the smart TV blinks for a millisecond?

What is the reason why that happens when my inverter is powering the smart TV and the fan or the smart TV and the amplifier?

Epever inverters ain't cheap o. In fact in China the price difference between Deye 5kw and Epever 5kw is less than $120
yea they ain't cheap when compared to lots of the funny things in the market, but when compared to likes of MorningStar, Deye, etc, they are very cheap. That's what I meant. And it's for their charge Controllers and other products also.

why don't you buy a 6kva 48v system instead of 24v system, also what is the make of the inverter

please drop that idea of getting 300w panels, why not go to fouani and get a higher wattage and half cut technology ( you can get 6 panels of 620w Jinko panels from Fouani @ N138 900 which is better than the 12 panels of 300w that was quoted for you), that will also be a tier 1 panel.

Run ooo.

The amount quoted can get you a better setup of 48v with a lithium battery that can comfortably power your inductive loads.

Is it possible to get this setup with about 2m? I mean something that can carry the loads.

Spend the money once, get 5kva 48v with Lithium 5kwh batteries and 6 units of 600w panels from Fouani as your minimum.
You can grow from there.

Or still use a 3.5KW 24V True rated ones plus 5kwh Lithium batteries and 6 units of 620w pabels, I used this for about 3 years and served well. AC during day time only.

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Mrreed(m): 8:36am On May 26, 2025
OR
620w panel from Fouani x6 <125k each
(the key to getting this price is if you have contact of electronics seller that buy other things from Fouani. You can liase with them to help you order this straight from company)

6kva Luxsun/cworth hybrid inverter circa 450k

The other materials will cost 160-200k if the panels will be on your roof and yiu stay in a bungalow.

If you don't mind DIY Battery, I can make 14.3kwh battery for you for 1. 650m

Workmanship, look for a competent person around you or hire from here.

7.1KWH wont be bad too, cause his 2M budget will be exhausted already
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Mrreed(m): 9:56am On May 26, 2025
Didn't see the budget cap before responding. 2m should get him a battery, inverter and 5 panels

Then you have to go with a 24V setup.

Firman has a 3kw inverter with 5000w PV input for under 400k. Or you can buy one of the 4.2kw inverters on the market.

Battery from Mrreed is probably best value on the market these days. Haisic also sells a 7.2kwh lithium battery for ~800k, but it has no screen and you have to rely on your inverter for monitoring.

Figure out how much accessories and installation will cost you, and then put the remainder of your budget into panels. You can survive with four 620w. Five would be better. Six best.

Is there a market for used tubular batteries?
Yes there is. Issue is, Tubular batteries are more rugged and durable than ordinary Lead acid battery hence except that battery is being sold because previous owner is upgrading, or relocating, chances are what you are buying is an exhausted thoroughly used battery, hence there would be little to nothing much left for you the potential new user. In other words, except you're lucky to see a Tubular battery being sold because owner is upgrading or relocating, na Nonsense you go buy

there are several things that could cause such to happen. One thing I know is it mostly or only happens when there's noise or voltage drop somewhere in the circuitry/system.
Can't recall but I don talk am here before and a popular scenario some people could relate with is, a sound system that works well BUT trips OFF and ON the moment you raise the volume so high BUT would return to normal operation when the high volume is reduced

Check socket for partial contact.
I believed all share common socket point. Make sure everything is firm.

However, it seems effect of amplifier is stubborn.
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Ahyjo: 2:12pm On May 26, 2025
Good afternoon all. Please help me out on this. My mum’s system is a 24V system with a pwm charger controller. She wants to improve her PV array to 1800watts (4 x 450W jinko panels). What’s the best way to accommodate these? Is it through an MPPT charger controller or to change her inverter to another 24V hybrid that can also accommodate these panels? Pls suggest with brand names, and if available for sale let me know the prices please for sellers in this forum.
And as a form of feedback, my 17kwh Valto battery and 6kva growatt inverter are performing excellently so far.

Bro, you can book deriy battery with 50 percent down payment and pick up the battery when it arrives Nigeria.... At no extra interest....i referred my friend and thats how he got it... Gave him more time to hustle the remaining money... Even the 40 batteries i want now... She say i just need to pay only 3 percent and should pay the rest when it arrives Nigeria...I don't think i will say no if somebody in Nigeria offers me something similar
Hi swagifted,

Can you share her contact details, cant locate her on my phone anymore.

Thanks

If her inverter works fine, you can just buy something like this. Takes 2500w of PV in 24v.

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.
After he buy everything he go come dey proce installer 100k tongue.

Nobody talks about this stuff on this thread.

If you are going to spend on what has been recommended (the recommendation is Valery valid) be will to spend well on a good installer.

Is funny a lot of people will spend good money on equipment the spoil it with cheap installation....

Inverter will damage then you will hear this product is not good

I recently rewired the house so that inverter supplies power to the house distribution box.

I never noticed that when I powered the Smart TV directly from the Schneider inverter without passing through the DB

While powering the fan directly from the SRNE also without passing through the DB.

I wasn't using the amplifier at the time
