$100 MB56 628Ah(3.2v)EVE lifepo4 cell
This would be good for big setups

Saw it last night on my feed, pretty impressive as likely to do more than capacity stated.

Makes one consider doing DIY more than ever.

Charging will be a major issue.At 0.5c that's over 300amp required .That's massive.
Shaa you guys must charge battery in 2 hours or you will perish shey...lol

On a serious note though, a 12v setup of this will make sense for those with smaller setups who don't want to do solar, as the backup can last a small flat for 3 days... and then they should have brought back light if transformer no fail.

Now even more reason to discard generator.

This is not much of an impressive innovation because it’s still like combining two of the 314ah cells in terms of size and capacity. Although it will reduce the number of bus bars for connecting the cells since it’s 2 in 1 and the internal resistance seems to be much lower than the 314ah. A reduction in cell size with higher capacity would have made much sense.
well said bro. nothing spectacular . i will pick 2pcs of 314ah over it..

Public Service Announcement 📣📣📣📣📣

To all Nigerian civil engineers: please ensure that roofs are fortified going forward. Given the ongoing challenges with reliable power supply, it’s important not to assume that roofs will only need to support roofing sheets and resist wind loads. Please include the weight of photovoltaic (PV) panels as part of the structural load calculations. Thank you in advance.
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by genius43(m): 7:14am On Jun 27, 2025
I believe the major issues with the new updates on Nairaland is posting in the wrong sections especially adverts.

So one suggestion it will take a while getting used to is to create a dedicated advertisement thread in the technology market section and people can refer people there from time to time when they need to make purchases or compare prices while this bread remains strictly for discussions, trouble shooting and knowledge sharing.

The downsides are the stress referencing two threads and other people posting adverts not Solar related.

in addition to this - my understanding is that pv installation is best on aluminum roofing sheets - likely because they can be safey pierced and resealed, unlike stone slate

finally all those nonsense sharp pitched roof that people like doing will mess up your solar yield. those roofs have absolutely no purpose in the tropics and are likely as a result of lazy architects copying and pasting 3d models of buildings for temperate climate and promoting these to clients who dont know any better

1 million percent truth.
I still wonder what people do with high roof and send down the rain design. If u construct otherwise, you are poor. I can place panels anywhere on my roof bc solar installation was already in the picture.

My 10kva super smart inverter was affected by lightning as if you switch it on. It comes up and go off immediately. I got someone to check it and he said the lightning affected the power card. Gurus in the house, any idea how much it will cost me to repair.

Powerboard MOSFETs plus other things may have been affected.

Send to reputable repair technician and consider adding protective devices like a good earth, SPD etc to forestall future failure.

Good day Solar Gurus

I hope you still remember me and the wahala I had after being defrauded and given a 2.5Kwh Sako lithium battery instead of a 5Kwh battery which I paid for.

GOOD NEWS: I’ve gotten my brand new 5Kwh battery.

Sako CEO got involved in the matter and promised me a new battery once their container comes back. She fulfilled her promise and I collected the battery yesterday. I must say that the customer service I received from Sako was premium and top notch.

The agent who defrauded me still tried every possible means to stop the company from giving me the battery. It was full blown war. He cooked up many lies and stories and tried to make the company believe that I and my technician are the fraud but the company looked through the whole smoke and saw the truth and gave me what I paid for. SAKO has won my heart shaa and I’ll advice anybody buying from them to go directly to the company. I have their direct link if anybody needs that though.

I want to specially thank everyone here who took their time and wealth of wisdom and experience to advise me on how to go about the stuff. Your advises paid off and I don't take it for granted. Thank you sooooooo much and God bless you all. May people that matter rise up and help you when you need them.

I also want to specially thank @Androblaze and @Dam5reey for the roles they played.
@Androblaze took it upon himself to help me. We chatted and talked for long on WhatsApp on the way forward. He was always reaching out to know how far and to advise on the way forward. What a man! This issue taught me a lot and also made me believe more in humanity again. I stopped posting here since as I was advised to stop as my enemy might be reading my strategies from here too. @Androblaze, my brother, thank you sooo much and God bless you and raise people to help you when you need them.

Below is the picture of the new battery. It is way heavier and bigger than the first one.

Sincerely, I thank God that I met this beautiful community of people willing to help each other achieve Solar energy independence. I've learnt a lot here and I keep learning. THANK YOU PLENTY!

GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
GOD BLESS SAKO.😊

JUSTICE WON!!! 💪😃😃🎉

This is great to read. Maybe we've treated Sako harshly.

But what exactly happened? I recall the battery was mislabeled or something? Give us a breakdown.

Yes. The agent sold me a 2.5Kwh battery but removed the label and replaced it with a 5Kwh battery that he created.

I kept complaining that it was running down fast. He took it from me for 2 weeks claiming he took it to the factory for repair. After it came back, the issue persisted. I was advised here to buy a shunt and the shunt exposed him. He told us that he has closed that business with us that we should only call him for a new business. We reported to Sako and they took it up. They were furious at him. The guy was just fraudulent.

Sako promised me a new battery and gave it to me yesterday.

Congrats again chief (though we've already spoken) and I must say this saga you went through thought me a lot also.

The patience and resilience you showed is not something I believed could be rewarded in Nigeria anymore, but to God be the glory.

As for that distributor, God will still deal with him where ever he is and I'd still love if he can be identified publicly so people can stay away from him. Also just like you advised, people on here should sacrifice time to go to the main companies themselves or at least use a trusted source someone has already vouched for here.

Really delighted this has ended well and I hope more people can learn to fight the long fight (I'm still praying God gives me that kind of patience) so we can have a better society at large.

Kudos to you my brother.
