Whether you use the Jinko or your friend's recommendation, na still the same 4mm or 6mm you need buy (depending on distance between panels and inverter), so that is not a factor. Jinko 550w panels don't push more than ~13A.


The thing with Jinko from Fouani is, it's tested and trusted. I have gotten ~95% production from my array in the past, even in less than perfect mounting conditions. Can you guarantee those other panels will give you that?
Thank you so much for this reply🙏

Chief, just like HB said, the two deals are practically the same.

Even if you factor price and change it to 7 Jinko (875k, 3800w). Also the Jinko panels have the added advantage of being from a brand that none of us is complaining of and also you will have fewer panels on your roof which is also a plus.
Yeah. Thank you so much. I'm going jinko all the way. I wish I can see any trusted vendor around Ajah area. There's this Fouani store around Ajah shaa but I don't know if they'll have it.

Are you saying , for instance I have 6 590w jinko panel with an hybrid inverter of 3.2kva 3000w with 400v headroom, that I can connect all 6 in series with no effect on the hybrid inverter,which is more than the 3000w rating of the hybrid inverter
Yes sir. You can connect all in series.. I believe VOC is around 49v so 6 in series is giving ~300v. You are good.
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by olopan(m): 6:21pm On Jul 02, 2025
There was a problem on site regarding error E5 on Indian inverters, which we experienced on a site, and I want to gladly share the solution with you.

any idea on alpsolar, price is moderate, they seem to capture my attention with thei panel oversizing but with no dual mppt input i tire once....
I don't have info on them.

If the price is great with great after sales, go for it.

I see some people shit on Sako here, but those guys got great after sales service, at least my guy has only good things to say about em.

Nothing beats after sales service.

So buy, if it has one.

Cheers.

Please I need clarification. Iv been struggling to decide between LV and HV inverter especially cos I know my AC isn't an inverter friendly type. Which is better. A 5kva 48v transformer based inverter or a 6kva high voltage inverter.
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Elizkid: 5:26pm On Jul 03, 2025
I’m getting a Cworth 12v 100ah lifep04 battery on Friday for 190k to power a few 50-150w load during instances when there’s no light.

Is it advisable or is there a ready-made DIY alternative for maybe higher but around the same price.

What brands specifically are you looking at? Just curiosity on my part.

Both will carry your AC and other loads. Go for the one you prefer.

Just get my used 24v inverter and 2.5kwh battery for 600k.

You wouldn’t have to worry about power for the next 5-10 years.
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Ayomipoe(m): 10:49pm On Jul 03, 2025
I have used them for a single item. It was delivered on time.
The rider had to deliver to my registered address, because I have not completed payment.
Rider had to take a picture of me holding the item ( no idea if that is a requirement)
I plan to use them to purchase my Growatt ES 5000, they have it, I am wondering how they handle warranty issues and if I should pay for their own insurance (10% of item cost)

Also, their search feature is shitty, for example if you search for Inverter, you will not find the Growatt inverter I mentioned. However, when you search for Growatt, you then find it.

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Fremlin: 9:55am On Jul 04, 2025
So I am done putting together my 4.2kwh battery and 3.5kva inverter together, but here's the problem, I have been trying to charge with grid, it just won't charge.

It show that there is voltage, but for whatever reason current remains zero, but only spikes to 0.2 at intervals.


I have tried connecting the inverter directly to the grid without breakers and metres, it's still thesame thing.

Who have experienced this before?

From experience, program ur system from SBU to USB then off solar and NEPA breaker then power first NEPA breaker wait like 1minute, power solar breaker.

Also if on NEPA okay but if na generator pls check d gen frequency o. All d best

Good day guys, my deye throws an f56 dc_voltlow_fault some nights and the inverter trips and comes back up 3 minutes later, battery is well charged at over 90% when it does this and voltage is usually over 54v. Battery is communicated well with inverter and has 2A active balancer jk bms. Anyone has experience with this or can help ?
