Wow. On Jumia the 5kva type is from 150 and above.
Duravolt is made by Qasa ( former Qlink)..Visit their website, they have list of distributors at various location

Thank you
omotoda:
There is no reason to still use tubular in 2025 please.The least price for a reliable tubular is between 260k and 300k.Price of two comes to between 520k and 600k.

With 800k-850k you can get 24v 7kw LFP either from market or source from assemblers here.My candid advice.And if you want to stick to budget go for lower 24v LFP capacity like 5kw or 3.6kw

I chatted with the QASA official WhatsApp line.

It has been days with no response.

Did you buy directly or from Jumia?

I think there is a sizable quantity of 580w mono jinko in the market right now
we have mono 550 watt available

Hv you ever use pumping machine with it b4? If yes what capacity? Also what v is the 5000w inverter ?

Fakeisfake:
Hahaha,

Nice question really but am not sure why the question if you are getting good backup and good use.

I have been using Sachet inverter for close to 4years - 5000W which is 5kw and it's serviced me more than enough at this point without troubling of its self consumption which is tremendously and significantly low with Tubulars until I got 8.3kwh lithium about two months ago and still serving.

Infact, one famous fellow here introduced me to it and he is using precisely same 5000w as we both stress it with microwave, AC, WM, fridge, freezer to it's max with no complain no regrets through and through...
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Haykay2001: 11:38am On Nov 13, 2025
Just seeing this.. ✌️

Fakeisfake:
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..

Well, earlier I promised to try this but really have not had the time. I am hardly home. Secondly I checked for the capacity of the pumping machine, no one seem to have an idea and I don't have the time to start a turn on turn off since I leave at the upper floor and needing to first establish a temporary wiring or use multi meter etc. Maybe when I will be home during vacation I may pay attention to it. But honestly I don't care much about this.

It's a 24v 5000W unit

if it's submersible Pumping machine - those types that gets buried in the boreHole / well, you could try looking for the Control Box. The capacity is often on it and even if the sticker is worn off or comepleted gone, you still could have an idea going by the capacity of it's capacitor.

This is one of the things I said considering people trying to install the biggest Solar capacity they can [hardly] afford even when most times, they're hardly home enough to use them 40%.

hopefully you sef get family members who are home often else e go be like person wey build and furnish expensive house come leave am like abandoned building - waste of funds.

Yes it's a submersible pump with the capacitor box on the wall of the building under the weather, rain and sun so all details have been eroded.

But I will try one of these days.

Yes I have got family sir. After school, everyone are home including weekends while I work away from home...
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by FEGEITOK: 5:10pm On Nov 13, 2025
My solar system appears to be overgenerating power. I suspect this is due to the DC battery breaker (located between my external charge controller and the main inverter battery bank) being switched OFF. This has happened two days in a row. Note that I also have a separate array connected to the hybrid inverter's internal charge controller.

Key Goal: I need a solution to remotely monitor the system's performance (voltages, current, generation) and, crucially, to have the ability to remotely switch On/Off specific breakers (like the main DC battery breaker).

What hardware/protocol would you recommend for this level of remote control and monitoring?
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by omotoda(m): 5:54pm On Nov 13, 2025
Does anyone have a good recommendation for a 20kva affordable,durable and reliable stabilizer?I need to upgrade my Century 10kva to a 20kva or 15kva ( preferably 20kva) with operating voltage range of 95v-260v
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by dollarnaira(m):
"Hot sun" everywhere even those with 1 panel will raise high shoulder grin while those with "over" panels will have their batteries fully charged too early especially when not home. Lifepo4 hates cells staying at fully charged state for hours. Plenty energy without use.

This period my fans and freezer will run run run till battery drain to norminal voltage or 20% bc the next day it is guaranteed that it will shine as early as 8am. This year's weather is the best ever---after rain, come the sun few minutes later--- unusual climate change. Free energy sweet jor grin

it's funny I am currently working on something similar BUT would be for a product a client intends marketing and billing people monthly just like MTN Luminious solar

mayBe you disconnect the Solar panels so they batteries gets used for a while even if it's just 20%
