Please, I have two questions
1. Is the Icell X2 Series Inverter 10 KVA inverter a good buy at 600k used?
2. Has anyone use a Flames Electric 360W solar panel?

Thanks

baba go Fouani for panels to have peace of mind ó. Fake plenty

Mykcool:
My rechargeable fan’s battery is failing, heavenlybangs please how did you go about changing from LA to li-ion/lithium and what has been you experience ?

Mrreed, Valto do you have a build for rechargeable fan users? Mine is the Qasa curvy, 12v7a If I remember correctly.

Nothing special, just take out the LA and plug the cables into an LFP battery.

You can buy 12v LFP from

I have two of his batteries in use rn. One on my fan, the other in a car.

In my days of freestyle I use to favour Flames solar panels...but gone are those days...it's tier 1 or nothing. Also I'd rather buy a 6kw 48V Growatt inverter than that Icell inverter.

dollarnaira:
625w bifacial available.
Ikorodu.

620w mono is super outrageous but available too.

Which one is better between the two

I no dey buy o. Na verify I dey so. Someone thinks he got a good deal but I wanted to verify. If you were to rate Flames Electric, what would you give it out of 10 points?
Second, what do you think of someone selling a Flames Panel at 60k for used 360W?

Who have used this before and what do you think about it?

OgogoroFreak:
would Mr reed's 16kwh battery work well with 6kva growatt inverter?

it should

Anyone has used 12v hybrid inverter or 12v lithium Battery for sale? Please quote me

Please who have review for 9solar panel?
thanks

Baba went for the cheap one because of cost savings, lets be honest....

kristien4:
And to add to this, Lvtopson is a good and complete brand. Drain/capacity tests have been done by Diy by Ray on tiktok and capacity is very complete. Wonder what evidence trippledots had to discourage a client aside personal gains and deception. May God forgive you. We blame tinubu, but we are worse.

yes, I will be selling my setup very soon cos I’m upgrading to 24v setup. I’m still at the villlage now. Will be available for sell when I come back.

Can someone recommend a very good distilled water to use for my tubular battery? The water has reduced and needs top up

let's ignore brand name but buying a USED 360w Solar panel at rate of 60,000 naira is either cheap or expensive depending on your location. I could get same easily for less than 50,000 naira (mayBe even 40,000 to 45,000 naira).

What matters is it's current state, and if it's even the real thing

bleexInc:

between 625w bifacial vs 620w mono , 625w bifacial would give more no matter how little the difference might be.

But except you intends mounting it properly to utilize the Bi feature, just go for the 620w. Even if they're both same quality + price, if your roof top isn't strong enough (most new houses ain't), abeg pity the house and avoid the biFacial except it's a decking + you intends mounting it properly.

Without mounting the biFacial properly, you would be paying more for less + other cons.

if mounting on carport, then the biFacial would be a better option all things equal

Just like I say in Lithium based batteries, for distilled water / electrolytes, you need trust your dealer hence would say just go into a reputable petrol station e.g Mobil and buy from them. There might be other places though

Harvest it urself via air-conditioning water. Na distilled water be dat. It is far far better that tap water claiming distilled that most of you buy.

Your Whatsapp number please or just hi me on Whatsapp

hopefully said person have Airconditioner to begin with + have necessary clean items + enviroment to do the harvesting.

Another option is to create a mini micro distiller so heated water (steam) could condense. At end of the day, except you do it out of play or to sell to others, might just be more profitable to just buy.

If you are entering solar, you CANNOT afford to be totally ignorant. Many installers DO NOT fear God.
-
I have become somewhat adept with solar, not by choice, but through pain.

1---
>> My first installer gave me an inverter that you could not switch off completely unless you disconnected the battery - with a lot of sparking if you wanted to reconnect it. There was no breaker in the inverter or between the inverter and battery.
>> Moreover, there was no way to disconnect the inverter from the grid. He connected the inverter direct to the grid with no way to switch it off in case a problem occurred or if I wanted to add a voltage regulator or anything to protect the inverter.
>> It seems he did this to maximize profit, without considering me or what troubles I would go through in case of any emergency.

2---
>> I have told the story of my second installer here, who gave me fake panels (producing 220W but rated at 450W).
>> He encouraged me to buy tubular and steered me away from lithium, so he could sell his stock.
>> That event is what broke me, and made me decide to learn about solar.
>> That is how I came here and I have learnt a LOT since then.

3---
>> I do not think I can trust any installer now. Many of them speak softly and kindly and seem helpful, but in their hearts are daggers - thinking ONLY of their profit and not the problems you will encounter when they are gone.
>> Second, many of them are not that knowledgeable. They entered solar work with gra gra and have not done enough research or improved themselves. Some cannot explain KWh, DOD, etc. in lay terms.
>> Now, I think the only thing an installer can do for me is to mount solar panels and do neat wiring, the rest I will do myself. The only time I may need an installer for wiring decisions is if I'm running a configuration >50 KVA. I have done my homework to this point. I'd rather have a problem of my own making than to have an installer rip me off. The rip-off pain is too much.

4---
>> Let installers learn to fear God because many of their clients are depending on them for guidance. Do not deceive them because God will punish you. Installers, fear God! He is real!
>> Let clients read a bit before buying solar, too many wicked installers around. Don't be a victim. However, the irony is that most of us who found this forum did so because we were victims.
>> If you are a solar newbie, ask all your questions here and be patient. Don't rush with any vendor. Even if a person gives a quote from this forum, wait and get other perspectives before proceeding. EVERYTHING in a solar installation can become problematic - inverter, charge controller, batteries, wires, cable lug termination, breakers, panels, earthing, SPD, etc. Read, read, and read. Like I told a friend - anyone who has a solar install, has a power generating station and CANNOT afford to be totally ignorant.

>> May God bless us all as we decide to walk in truth and righteousness this 2026.

All the need to shine your eyes.



The read is very important . I did my solar install by myself , did everything on my van and started self hosting . Now life is too sweet.

Rally. If you get from trusted sources.

I no too like stress to use AC water

Stress? To put container under a dripping hose? Nna enh... Una too dey easy to dupe.

How do one distinguish between regular water from distilled water?

Trust? Hmmm

Now you quite understand what I meant when I said except you trust your dealer...

Plenty of us no want make the slightest effort, yet when asked to pay, we want to pay almost nothing

Don't near renewable energy if you are too lazy.

Good afternoon my people. Pls how best do one connect 4 used tubular batteries to a 12volt inverter.. I plan to get a 24volt inverter soon but I need to start using d 12 volt now kus I had it before. Pls any advice...

lol this AC thing dey legit?

when i dey use tubular i compared the distilled water to my AC own, e different o

You will understand better if you can type the meaning of distilled water in any search engine or AI.

only way to connect all 4pcs of 12v Tubular batteries to a 12v inverter is to connect them all in parallel using a very thick wire, then use another very thick wire to connect them to the 12v inverter. Ensure to have at least a breaker in-between.

If I were in your shoes, I would only connect 1 or 2 at a time.

Meanwhile, what's the AH value of the individual batteries e.g 100AH, 200AH, 150AH, etc.

Also if you wanna act like a techie, you could add a switch that would ensure only 2pcs of batteries are connected at a time hence you could use and charge the batteries while only using at most 2pcs at a time.

Nice advice. It's a 200ah battery.
