Whats your recommendation for satchet inverter in the 3-5kva range.
Bro I’m not an expert in this Solar thing. I’m more of an enthusiast. So I guess you are asking the right question to the wrong person, before I tell you to go and buy one nonsense thing 😂.

Anyways what’s most important is that you go for Pure sine wave and not modified sine wave. Good luck.

With Tubulars, I could not use AC, Microwave or WM after sunset.

But as indicated, I started using Lithium from Mr Reed 2months ago, I use Microwave and or AC before leaving for work as early as 530am but have not used the group pumping machine on it considering my security does all that so have had no reason to think in that direction may be I will next weekend..
Okay

Ha. Baba, I’m an AI person o. Confirm one. I can train build and deploy AI models. I have publications in that field too.

My comments about other folks is just a joke o. And everybody knows their pocket. As for me that was the recommendation I got for my first system, and since it works just fine, then no P, we move.

I like your explanation about how and why they are low in consumption. Thanks.
means we're in similar fields. You welcome

Why change what works really.

My idea at the time was, if other cost 5times, I could use this and change when needed and honestly this has lasted way beyound my thoughts. Kudus to Nnamdi here...

My funny but serious comment before use then was, "I regret placing order for an item weighing less than a bottling water which obviously will not last" 4years ago.... Lol
Honestly since it works why change it o.

if not for how frugal I can be, na Sachet inverter I suppose dey use BUT me no fit afford to spend over ₦100,000 knowing fully well should anything go wrong, na mostly to replace am.
Funny enough, most people I set it up for, are still using theirs with no problem. Me wey dey install for them, dey fear to use am. Who knows, mayBe na the day I decides to use for mySelf my fear go come TRUE
Depends on the type and build.
No error codes. grin

Felicity 3kva 24v inverter with 4000w, Max v is 500v
140ah 24v lithium battery
How many panels and what capacity is best to charge the battery? 590w panel isn't available.
Valto
depends on your daytime usage. order 5 or 6pcs of jinko 525w panels from faouni , u are good to go ..

should be about 7amps though I personally don't have Lithium.
currently charging at 60a, but it's limiting my panel yield to 2.4kw, while my total panel is 3.6kw. Is it safe to increase the charge current since my inverter has a 100a charge current?. At 62a charge current my ba3 temp increases to 45°.

Battery temp during charging can go up to 55°.

To survive this type of big capacity, charge your battery full first while you manage your load. After this stage, you won't need large amp to charge before it get full.

Avoid wasting energy and don't discharge too low.

what gave rise to this question was yesterday my ba3 was low and the sun was brief, but at that brief period it was charging at 2.4kw which is at 62a and cldn't get the ba3 above 70%. When hotplate was connected noticed the panel was delivery above 3kw which cld have gotten the ba3 full

80A should be fine.

With 3.6kw of panels, you should be making 10-11kwh daily. Just try to use most of your energy from 11:30 to 3pm.

Because they'll always deliver, shipping is free, and you know you're getting good panels. Hardly rocket science.
Shipping is not free o grin. It is just the peace of mind you get from knowing that your panels are original that makes it beneficial.

isn't that funny. So the likes of Jumia, Konga, AliBaBa, etc despite being big names, don't have their nuances and quirks.

So rather than sharing more vendors and outlets and retailers, etc you guys deem it fit to just promote 1 or 2 entities like they don't have their own issues. Almost on regular basis, it's either they're out of stock, or their prices are higher than normal.

and you think the'r prices eer would be reasonable if they have very little need to compete.

Of course we know they got staff / agent in here.

No wonder it was so easy for our people to be colonized. Common sense, we just no get.
so the moment dem no get something, it's better we just wait or go to the NUMBER 2.
Honestly, if I had a better option, I won't buy from them but you don't know who is who. I asked here when I wanted to buy, the only recommendation I got was Fouani. If you have any seller you are sure of, you can share their contact with us.

Set for delivery to Asaba.. keep sending your orders

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by tonididdy(m): 6:54pm On Nov 05, 2025
bassdow:
YES it would work

Also since the Fan is those rechargeAble fans, you don't really need an inverter as you could just connect it's battery directly to your Solar battery.

As for phone charging, so long you not into the Business of charging lots of phones, if your charge Controller has USB port, you could use it in charging your PHONEs hence not using the inverter also.
Thanks

AH!!!
Just spotted my subtle blunder. No go connect your Fan's battery cable directly with your Solar battery without knowing if it's voltage match or not. Not sure you stated your Solar battery's voltage or that of your Fan

That's nice, but I tried buying panels from Gennex and they told me shipping would be 75k to my state. Fouani shipped it for free. Prices of panels were effectively the same.

Saying "they charged you for it" without any actual evidence is laughable.

I appreciate. But will 3 pieces of jinko 585w be enough to charge it? Daytime load is between 500w to 900w.
