That jbond that brought negative energy in here just made me get banned.
I had to say my mind and the platform banned me. It's good he didn't get to see it though.

We don't need such negative energy here

This did it oh!
I checked and it was at 52v. The setting option says once the battery is tagged full according to settings, the inverter will stop charging the battery till the battery discharges and gets below a particular voltage point (which was set to 52.0v).
Why will SRNE have such unnecessary complications?
Any way, i set it to 54.8v which unfortunately is the highest it can set to. A minute or so after i applied the setting, for the first time ever the inverter started charging the battery in front of me. The "full" icon disappeared.

What this means is that, the inverter will now charge my battery to 56.0v (charge and float voltage i set it to) and then stop charging and will discharge the battery to 54.8v before picking up again to charge till 56.0v. What a pain? What now happens to the float setting that is at 56.0v? Its now useless?

The below image also shows that when it finally started charging, 3kw is coming from Sun, but only 24A is charging the battery which is around 1300w. Where did other power go to?

Why did people rate SRNE as top inverter when it has all these confusion in it?
Felicity is far better and straight forward than this SRNE.
There's no usable power above 54.8v anyway, since a 16S Lifepo4 rests at under 54.2v usually. Not sure what the complaint is.

If your battery is full, why would you need it to constantly be charging even when above 54.8v? The moment you load the battery it'll rapidly drop below that 54.8v and charging begins again.

You can safely keep LFP floating at 56v sef. That's not too high for safe floating. 56.4v upwards is what i personally avoid (that's just me).
Your LFPs rest at 54.2v with load and no charge current? Wow. All the LFP i see, with load, they rest at about 53.1v and they stay there for a long straight curve. Cworth rests at 52.9v sef which makes me suspect their cells.

So you saying yours rest at 54.2v or 27.1v or 13.55v? Wow

I said "under 54.2v". So yeah, we're saying the same thing. As long as the charge kickoff voltage is above your 100% rest voltage, you're not losing out on anything really.

I have been reading your responses and it doesn't tally at all. What I see so far are people who genuinely wish to help you. They have shared their advice and experience but instead of appreciating this you just came out guns blazing. Shitting on their efforts with your negative aura. They had the option to stay quiet but regardless they were more than happy to help. I'm able to get the right set-up thanks to this group. If you knew that this isn't your first rodeo then I believe you are already well equipped. Don't forget, like you we are all human and we should act accordingly ,professionally and with empathy.
Thank you

I believe I was the first person to take my time and give you a proper educative response to a question you asked and this was what I got back in return



While you might have not meant to be rude, your response indicated to me that you either don't appreciate or are just not willing to gain from the reservoir of experience/knowledge people have on here- which is not the end of the world.

I have not really followed your posts since then but I guess people have also noticed a bit of what I did and that's why they are just telling you what to do instead of explaining why they are advising you to do so.

Simply put, we've had some people who sold cells and made batteries in Abuja but they've been found wanting (at least the ones I remember). If people are recommending mrreed that's in Kaduna (or is it kano) and Valto that is in Bayelsa, its because we KNOW their goods work and we KNOW you will get support even if you aren't in the same state as most of us don't even reside in Kaduna or Bayelsa.


People have lost good money on here, because they believed in shops or renegade sellers who came here and promised heaven and earth....that did not stop those affected from being their brother's keeper and revealing their experiences while ensuring they enrich everyone here with their knowledge gained the hard way, with blood and tears.


If you need to physically inspect your purchase from a local shop it is fine, but that will not stop you from being cheated or someone telling you that they will not honour warranty, especially when they can prove u might have made an honest misstep in the setup (which happens as everyone is learning)....and even established businesses like Fouani do this ( yes a whole LG).

Learn to believe in people and more importantly learn to believe in yourself that you are a good judge of character.... even if you get burnt, we only live once and living in fear and unfounded distrust isn't the way to spend one's life.

I wish you the best whatever your decisions are.
Thanks

Oga, buy your battery from whoever you want to buy from. Nobody here owes you anything and if anyone gave you recommendations, it's because they're trying to help you. Nothing more, nothing less.

All this many yapping is unnecessary.
Oga i go buy my battery and inverter, no be you wan give me the money in the first place, all this red eye simply because i pointed out the marketing was too much, abi i dey fear you? Or when my main questions were answered was i not showing appreciation? Oga if you no answer questions other people go answer, so you can quit the yapping too, you must not reply, mtcheew..

What is your bulk charging voltage presently? But know that except you are charging to 3.65v per cell, you are not charging up to 100%
My current bulk charge is 55.2v

Is that supposed to be a threat?

Well, you could take a cue from your own advice/warning, however you intended it to come across.

Respect yourself, Sir. Buy whatever rocks your world and leave all this childish argument abi na rant, dare I say.

People were only trying to help you so that you get the best bang for your buck. Apparently, you know better than everyone else.

And while I respect your face-to-face solar deals preference, which no one is trying to deter you from by the way if you could look beyond you nose, it's best you wrap it all up like I said earlier and let's all leave all this behind.

You come off as a hostile person, and I don't wanna be part of your unprovoked madness.

Guess you have the unprovoked madness here, and guy to be sincere, i dont do threats neither do i do keyboard fights and rants, since you feel you are good to go, lets meet physically and allow the thread thrive for what it was meant for, if you are game let me know, no need for epistles.

I have replied this your message twice but it keeps getting deleted. Dude from your profile you reside in Abuja, please lets meet one on one so you can tell me what you typed that made you got banned, then we see how it goes from there.

And this will be the last message i will reply so this thread can thrive for its purpose.
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Jbond(m): 9:41pm On Jul 22, 2025
I have never insulted anyone here neither did i use derogatory remarks for anyone, so i wont take such from anybody simply because i pointed out the marketing was getting more than the advice i sought.

No one is feeding anyone here, and if some people don't answer questions, definitely someone else will respond.

To the few people that answered my questions, thank you very much, but for others trying to play mini god, omo i ready o and always strapped, but not on NL here, please simply inbox me so i can drop my details so we meet physically and do this, and not hiding behind the keypad on NL and type shii and bs to anyone because you feel its a faceless forum. I am done.

This is unnecessary.

Enter Fouani and buy your battery. It's not that hard.
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by olopan(m): 6:45am On Jul 23, 2025
Let's reduce the charging voltage to 54.5 , float at 53.5v and leave other settings.⁣

lets see how that goes

Good morning . So sorry for the delayed feedback. Because of the way the battery was placed getting a picture was tricky. Please find attached. Thank you[/quote]

I think you recorded it but the screenshot you shared wasn't very clear.

Knowing what that voltage was would give an hint if the battery and inverter's reading are in sync or there's a difference.

Thanks so much. When the battery got full a red triangle kept flashing and here is some info displayed in the pictures. Kindly advise. Had to turn off all power sources incase
The value I want to see is the particular voltage in this screenshot

there's this thing that people do, where they say let's meet in person, I used to think it's for teenagers but a grown adult suggesting it in big 2025 shows how unexposed you are. Is it that you want to engage in a physical bare knuckle fight like Russian under dog fighter and fight them till they drop deeaad or what's the plan?

Your attitude is very myopic, you need to stop it.

Thanks boss. Initially i wanted to go for a 5kwh 24v but because they are all over 1.2m is why i settled for 3.8kwh 12v.

But this evening i saw a deal of 5kwh 24v bread brand battery for 880k, and i want to go for it, with a 3.5kva hybrid inverter
Please is the battery size too much for the total load which is under 600 watts? And is bread a good brand? Thank you
So typically, when you install a power solution that brings comfort, your load increases. It is a well known trend, so based on that I'll say it's ok to use the 3.5kva inverter. Otherwise, the 1.5kw hybrids should be ok.

As for the battery, PLEASE BE SURE IT HAS FULL RATED CAPACITY AS STATED. There are a couple of assemblers and sellers here who already have good pedigree about the products they sell. Choose wisely
