Please our lifepo4 battery builders where do you buy casing for your projects

I have attached images for SMS

Lol, this controller na glorified pwm (my experience sha). Imagine make you get 1.1kw of panels yet controller dey insist on taking in only 200w max. It got so frustrating I had to even increase charging voltage to 15.3v, just to cross up to 300w. Battery never charges.

thats why i said he should up his budget



according to your own tubular filled and used product quote. 4pcs of good tubular battery is 1.2m
used non hybrid inverter without good editable settings =200k
used relabelled panels 45k
used CC

which quote is cheaper and will stand the test of time?



his biggest load is 0.75hp pumping machine , so how is a 24v 4.2kw hybrid inverter too poor for him?



there is no single advantage in buying used inverters or CC, cos most of them are outdated or previously worked on. also buying used panels is a no go area , most of them are already relabelled with higher capacity and u can't be sure of it efficiency again.



why buy used that can last 15yrs. when u can get a brand new jinko 530w panels from faouni for 89k and have a rest of mind for 25yrs.

to avoid costly mistakes ,USED ITEMS is not the best option for a beginner!

The mistake most of us make here is that we generally believed people earn as we do and also know what we know.

There are more poorer ones than the average. These ones want to go solar with fund as low as 100k ( your own cost for just a panel) for cells, cable,cc, and pv.

Will someone with this budget purchase a brand new pv? Lets assume used pv last 15yrs, with just 40k, is that not a fantastic deal?

Do you Know that 100k can do wonders? The main need of average Nigerians is to charge phones and light a bulb at least.

Those with those roofs may not have a choice, that maybe the approved house plan.

Especially in estates you either buy that way or build that way and you can't do anything about it

The only option maybe to build a carport and thus control the tilt to some extent

well Here no be Property section else I for begin another round of RANTing

Obnoxious2001:
Please who has experience with this controller?

How do you set up the controller to charge lifepo4 battery (I want to know of I did something wrong).

Now in the image below, you can see the battery voltage is 53v but the controller is still stuck at 12v and it keep giving me 12v parameters which I have no business with.

I replaced the battery with a dry cell and connected it to it to see if it will recognise it, it worked.

Also some of the errors it keeps displaying are not in the manuals
E12
E26

Abeg make una come oh
Make una pour me water

Search for MPK charge controller manual and check battery type selection

Penuelseun:
Try to set the controller's voltage selection to "Auto" let's see

Not working

they rather Sell to you, than tell you. meanWhile, if you clever and not a Mugu , you could do it locally. Just give work to plastic company. There are lots of small scale companies here in Nigeria, or search online or ask multiple people in that line of business BUT be willing to spend a little to show appreciation

shey you no see as I use style ask that question, so I don't hurt his feelings. na only am sabi how much e pay. You fit dey see 20 naira BUT na 100 naira e pay.

Funny enough, the 15-years I talk, na underStatement; make e no be like say I too talk because a used Solar panel could last as long as that same 25-years dem dey tell una for brand new Ones.

of course, there are lots of USEd solar panels that weren't even used that much before being decommissioned due to one HONEST reason or the other.

Personally, as me dey so, if I spend 1-million naira buy battery, I no go easily feel comfortable because any small issue, I go think say something bad don happen - you know why, because I know say nothing dey again should bad thing happen.

A lot of people dey pay rent of 500,000 naira yearly, excluding other expenses, yet spending millions on Solar when they could achive same or greather results with half the amount.

My only worry, which is why I keep RANTing here is, if we keep quiet, the Few would Convince the Majority that except you have as much as possible, you can't enjoy stable electricity.
Mind you, get them to handle your project and a lot of them wouldn't mind buying USEd items, while claiming they are new.

I no get problem with how you make your Money BUT when your method allows the customer / project to suffer, then that's a real issue.

There are lots of people who are so scared of going to the market themSelves after going through the threads WHICH ought not be the case.

I own a 3.5kva Generator, my inverter is 24v 4.2kva. No matter what I do it won't charge from the generator. Even with charging current lowered to 20 amps.

Whenever I turn on I always hear a clicking sound from the inverter and the light will be flickering. My system is grid only for now. How do I go about this?

Your generator frequency may likely be the culprit. You may need to replace the AVR of your gen. Or adjust the speed to see if you can get between 48Hz to 51Hz.

Most petrol generator produces terrible frequencies of about 40Hz or something like 70Hz. These type of frequency are often not compatible to battery charging.

I second this.

Our generator repairers are notorious for altering the frequency of petrol generators because 1. The noise is too much and 2. Maybe they think it will use less fuel

I use one and also have a few for sale. It doesn't surge and you can always regulate the consumption.
Single phase, 28k

dollarnaira:
Thanks but the problem with them is the "surge". Do you use it personally? Further input will be much appreciated.

Only that they are slower. If you have used the infrared or induction cooker, you will agree.

justasitis:
From experience those hot plates attached to cooking gases are also energy efficient as they can be regulated to reduce power consumptions. The hot plate on my gas’s cooker consumes 1kw at maximum and 200w at lowest. Induction cooker also has regulators to control power consumptions but may require special cooking pot to achieve optimum temperature.

From alibaba or find those that build electrical panels in your neighbourhood

Hi. Thanks for your input. Fortunately this issue has been sorted.

I lowered charging current to 15 amps and that was the sweet spot.

Can you share a pics of the one you have chairman?

You know how it goes.

Also given that most devices can still work with horrible frequencies people don't know that this may be an issue.

Oh, I see. This was a capacity issue. Glad you've fixed the issue. Totally hate the use of generator ..but I understand people who do. I don't own one.

Yes sir

You either construct one or buy from China.

Nothing like a little.

For most plastic companies, it will require you to get a mould which is not cheap and there might be complications if it's not done properly. If you are not assembling a portable/user friendly product(handy)

Use metal do your fabrications

Lol no be me buy am.

I would rather purchase powmr over this one . I go still save some chills .

Besides is there a 100A variant of that powmr

or wood. use wood and polish am e go fine die.

As for plastic, yea e go cost you a bit the first time but the moment the mould is ready, it gets cheaper. of course if you have a source who already got that part settled, then it's cheaper.

Mind you, I know all about extruders, and their operations.

Nairaland bot sir? Why are you banning me? I'm just asking where I can get fairly used IP cameras. I did not post any prices. Na waa o!
