bassdow:
Please comments such as this says a lot BUT ends up saying nothing. Abeg list them out. Just brands even if na faceLess Ones.

Myself is only buying this because the price is a steal and for personal use. Either way, would appreciate your own list of reputable brands even if na China. I know there are some (unKnown) brands that are as reliable as Premium brands BUT me no dey too try things blindly. Even for client projects, I've got a thin list I use.

I'm a rough user hence need rugged things. epEver never gree fail me, not even the ones I've got since President Jonathan regime.

I sha wan begin enlarge my mental list of brands small small

There is this 60a mppt than can take up to 230v voc n are within 160-180k range. If u don't av the powmr 140a CC budget

if you get money, and need quality brands, I would list them again. Quality brands dey wey no go disappoint you for a very very long time except life happen to you.

I'm very much aware there are a few unKnown brands / manufacturers that produces good things even if not as high as those somewhat pricey ones. High exchange rate don dey make some of us dey reconsider small small.
Might be frugal by default BUT I find it difficult skimping on quality.

meanwhile, Powmr no be better product. An epEver of 40amps can out Perform a lot of so called 80amps out there. How many people can afford to calmly disconnect their battery bank from the charge controller without first disconnecting the Solar panel. Yea I know it's discouraged but a lot of charge controllers no fit easily survive am, let alone when done regularly.

Mind you, I got 3 sets of epEver chargeController and the smallest among them is 40amps.

but the fact a sticker or painting reads MPPT, doesn't necessarily mean it's a half decent one

yet to get any review on this brand SRNE nor the SRNE ML4860 mppt charge controller. either way, would be getting it and if not impressed enough, would do the needful.

As per say my question no be advert, or lead to sale, e be like say e no make sense

I kinda believe SRNE is better than Felicity and MUST since I've used it for 2 clients but not close enough to have opinion on it.

bassdow:
Nope. I don't do (anything) hybrid. Same way I wouldn't buy a Tv just because it's got an inBuilt DvD player even if na bluRay.

Also, it's my first time using an unKnown brand for personal use. For clients, I use mostly Felicity and whatever they provide or their max budget gets BUT for my personal use, I prefer rugged premium offerings which epEver has always been including being Cheapest among comparative ones. Just that nowAdays, what's usually cheap, is now expensive. Buying it used anyways at a somewhat steal price

Okay, can see you are into solar installation so its easy for you not to use hybrid, unlike us.

Let me remind us something just in case:

Hybrid inverters got it's advantages and disAdvantages; same with non-hybrid inverters. It's when you know [some of] them, you make an educated decision.

My major issue with hybrid inverters irrespective of the brand is, they are more fragile. No matter how bad a non-hybrid inverter goes, chances of successful repairs remains very high + they are more rugged. Same ain't easily true with Hybrids.

Yea most people believe they saving on charge controller costs BUT a percentage of that already makes up that inverter. That a vendor / dealer advertises a product as free delivery doesn't mean you still not paying for it - they just found a way to not make it obvious.

Then there's issue of damage - should a hybrid inverter go bad, the embedded charge controller goes along with it and if at end of the day Repairs were unSuccessful, that's the end. You don't just loose the inverter alone BUT also the chargeController.

How about upgrades ? That's impossible without changing the entire inverter, or buying an external charge controller. And yea, there are a plethora of reasons you might decide upgrading.

Do I have to remind you that you have no say on the quality and spec of what's baked inside in - it's more of complementary.

Back when the Naira wasn't as low as it currently is against the dollar, I often suggests sachet inverters to people on tight budget mostly because they were CHEAP and more efficient than transformer based inverters. Should it go bad, just get another because as at then (even now), repairs were/are [almost] nonExistent. but ever since they now cost a lot, I no longer recommend them because I can't imagine someone spending over 100,000 naira on something that should it ever go bad, you have no choice than to toss it away like you would a headSet.

I happen to know some of these things mostly because I used to be a technician (actually a DIY hobbyist) though now focus on IT full time. That doesn't mean I still don't build or tamper with things every now and then.
You could even ask any inverter repairer and if they're honest enough, would tell you same thing or more.

Hybrids are more efficient but very fragile and even that efficiency is almost equal to the non-Hybrid (transformer based) ones nowadays. The gap used to be wide back in the day .


before One goes about investing heavily on something not rugged, don't forget most Nigerian technicians are only good at changing circuit boards (panel). To repair na wahala for dem.

But you can try this trick. Type your post with prices on your Note app and export as a picture. Then you attach that picture here on your posts and avoid the gatekeepers wrath

And do you have control on the quality / spec of what's baked inside a standalone charge controller? How?

I've mistakenly done the bolded on a regular, cheap powmr CC. It handled it well. Although I no try am again. 😂

Nope

Just by the weight, you'll know a 17kwh LFP pack from Valto / valtech contain real high capacity cells.
Forget all these fraud brands that give you 20kwh but it's either only 12-14kwh or grade F cells. I won't mention them but you know them all. You've them in your homes and offices.

Go for these Nigerian assembled batteries.
As long as you are sure the cells are original grade A, the internal wirings are appropriate, the cells have some compression, and the BMS is active balancer (which many big brands don't even have), then go for it. Above all they are cheaper and more market friendly.

God bless Valto and Mrreed plus others doing it in this house.
You all are lighting our Nigerian homes, making sure everyone can afford long lasting solar battery solutions and doing the Lord's work.

One day i go buy motor for una 😁😁😁

Once i see that kind of display layout, even if they type the MPPT in capital pro max letters, i doubt it and run. They are just glorified pwm. I tell people a lot to change them to something better. Even felicity has one of the most solid real MPPTs.

I'm a person that love to use external CC if though i use hybrid inverters. It's for a personal reason many may not agree with. So i always want them to be solid and effective.
