GloriousGbola:
the question here is

how can people confirm they are being supplied the correct battery?
the agent should be named and his number provided so others will not fall into the same trap
is there a list of reliable sako dealers?

this is actually one of the reasons why i hate being in nigeria. because you have to dedicate time and resources to multiple cross checking of items you are buying

too many dubious and incompetent people unfortunately
Yeah. The agents name is Elitab Technologies. I don't think it's wise to drop his phone number here.

Nevertheless, anybody that wants to buy directly from Sako should call any of these numbers:

John Sako: 09138189810
Happiness Sako: 08145788620

And please tell them it's from Obed because I promised them that I'll sing their praises everywhere because of how they all treated me😃🙏

Their customer care was just too good👌

my inveter never goes off, only time I off it is when I'm traveling and spending days away. Normal daily hustle it's always on till evening when I come back.

Idle consumption go dey drain the battery bit by bit unless u dey charge with grid
yes charging with grid but releasing the load off it. Or you advice a change-over switch to remove total power frm the grid?

it’s a new product, bread inverter by hinen. Been 3 months now since I started using so not sure about the reliability yet.

There’s this guy on YouTube named solar God, most of his 12v/24v installations are bread inverters. I trust maybe he’s at peace with them bread inverters.
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Jefferyzz(m): 9:20am On Jun 29, 2025
Even without putting a change over, all modern inverter bypass mode is automatic. Just make sure you don't exceed the bypass or to be on the safe side don't exceed the inverter carrying capacity in case Nepa goes off, it will leave bypass mode n enter inverter mode back.

Lol, before na Cworth, then Firman, now Bread. Personally wouldn't pay any attention to what that guy uses tbh. He mostly just parrots wrong information anyway.

Have been to bread office here in port harcourt. But am looking at a 3 to 3.5kw that can accommodate my 3700w pv

16 Damiete Drive, off Full Gospel Road, By Odili Road, Port harcourt . 3.5kw is 3000w max pv, while 4.2kw is 5000w. Thinking of firman my issue with them is ordering online but has service center in ph, but no walk in store for purchase. Noticed firman is almost noiseless

Just like mentioned above, you'd be able to build a 25.6v 150ah battery with Mr Reed's cells for under N460k, without BMS. Probably a similar range with Valto's cells.

Haisic's 24v battery is 8kw but over your price range at +800k I think. Cworth probably have a 24v battery at 200ah, but I don't have an idea of their price.

I doubt you'll be able to get any manufacturer's battery with built in wifi for that price though. If you don't build yourself your best bet would be to get the Juntek battery monitors (though you will not be able to see information at cell level), but you can use home assistant to manage it if you choose.
Thank you so much for pointing this out as it really solved my confusion and put my thoughts in order.

Am coming from a place of having to consider replacing 2 quanta 200ah batteries at almost 1million shocked angry which to me was ridiculous even though they were durable, 3kw would the max borderline one could squeeze out. Now compare that to 8kw Haisic at much lesser price point way more power!grin

Abeg where I fit get this!

Thanks 🙏

Mrreed:
25. 6v 150ah (EVE cells)
With 100a BMS, 570K
With 200a BMS 580K
Thanks boss, I've decided to go with the 8kw Haisic. Appreciated 🙏

Funny enough his target ain't enlightened about what he deals on, so he can get away with whatever he does.

The person who exposed him bought from him before coming across this thread.

His likes care less about reputation and repeat business, because they will always get by regardless.

The uninformed are their prey.

Despite the bad name and reputation Alaba international market has with rebadging and inflation of solar panel rated output, they still sell more units than Fouani and the likes.

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!!! 💪😃😃🎉
Great news to hear.
Sako has a wonderful customer care service which I can vouch for but this was really impressive.

Except the company is not being truthful, on their catalogue its 4kw mppt....were u able to max out the mppt value, if yes how many panels did u attach?

Go to their website and contact them directly.

However note this, Haisic don't have the kind of BMS you are looking for nor are they 100% genuine about the cells they use as shown in Dam5reey capacity video.

So expect the 8kw to do less as they are using 25.6v 280ah cells, while Mrreed sells quality 314ah cells which he can build as a 24v setup for you at a slightly higher price though.

So it is up to you. Also how many Amaron batteries do you have and are you willing to sell as scrap?

Thanks for the address, very close to my place. For the bread inverter, do you mean the are noisy? I mean there fan compared to fireman? And do fireman also have 3.5kva? And what is the pv input?? And i saw the bread spec? Does it mean the spec are false. No vex for my too much questions.

Try and follow a story properly.

The poster did not buy directly from him, the purchase was done by his installer and a trusted acquaintance that made up their mind to defraud him with the full support of the distributor (who should have known better, as it's his business and bread and butter).

Yes totally agree Mr Reeds the better. However, when budget is limited one has to be realistic about ones wish list. At 800+ am already over my set budget.

With 25.6v 280ah cells likely rating is 7168wh, at 80% DOD its about 5734.4wh available which is still great. 6000 cycles promises about 20 years, at 5years am happy with a depreciation cost of about N550/day(thats not bad at all for stable energy in nigeria today.)

Am repurposing the quanta batteries to power low power devices so not getting rid of them just yet.

Thanks a lot appreciated.

No problem, though you hardly need to worry about DOD with lithium (it's how fast you charge and discharge it that affects life more) so enjoy your guaranteed +7kw.

Oh and just checked an email they sent me earlier this year, it was exactly 800k...hope that helps when you contact them.

With the knowledge I have gotten from here, decided to upgrade my solar

Got 4.2kwh battery from mrreed

Got breakers (prewired) from iinnov8

Got a 3.5kva inverter from Bread

For now, will focus on using grid for charging as panel isn't available for now

Congrats. How much did you get the complete breaker setup and the 4.2kw battery? I am assuming it is 24v.
