Tell me you’ll reap your Client without telling me. This goes to show that given the same circumstances, you will do the same thing.

That someone is a criminal does not mean everyone else is.

Personally, I'm not sure much improvement can be made to resistive power loads in terms of energy consumption.. What I can suggest is to run resistive loads directly off your DC source with applicable appliances. That way you jump many of the energy conversion losses.
You won't understand.
Run it off dc source via what pls?

Like getting a DC electric jug. One rated for that use.

12v dc might take longer than usual.

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?
In 2012 Flames was da bomb, but in 2026 I rate it 4/10

I wouldn't buy 350w used panel for 60k even if it's a tier1 panel.

I have 2 Schneider inverters: Conext SW4024 & Conext Sw 4048. I thought it would be a simple connection with solar panels, charge controller and lithium batteries. However, chat GBT tells me that my idea of solar is very wrong. That the inverter can only charge the batteries through grid or generator power. That I cannot charge the battery through the inverter with solar power. I say make I come meet our solar ancestors to help set the matter straight. Abeg make una explain am to me
I have Schneider 4048 inverter...all you need is an external charge controller and you are good to go. Get a good AVR too as it doesn't tolerate poor voltage from NEPA

I searched his name “Tripppledots” on Nairaland, I was seeing Criminal, Criminal everywhere. Bad name.

The 400k don finish.
na you come carry the matter for head undecided
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by sofdoc1: 5:53pm On Jan 07
Has anybody purchased jinko solar panel on jumia? I ordered one 300W for 60k and I'm kinda skeptical about the true ratings and efficiency, even before it's arrival.

Please if you've bought any on same platform, kindly share your experience.

After purchase...
Na only hybrid get grid and solar functions. Always ask questions before you leap.
It's a actually only solar I am interested in. Charging with grid is expensive for band A users. Please recommend a good charge controller that I can use for a pv array of 4000w. I thought that for all setups, all charge controllers connect from PV To Inverter before the battery. How would the setup be?

If you are using a separate charge controller,your connection has nothing to do with inverter.Jyst connect from PV to charge controller and film charge controller to battery.

Is your inverter 48v ? We need to know the voltage of your inverter ,type of charge controller to enable proper sizing of your panels.4000w is a lot for most conventional charged controller to handle

I don't think I've seen a 300W Jinko panel.

This is the spec of the inverter. I need recommendations for a good value charge control

It was delivered today.
1.5L of water boiled after about 13min.
Same volume of water boils on gas at average heat for about 8mins.

Power is about 600w too i.e 48a on a 12v system. Efficient appliances are still coming in the future.

Thanks thanks.
Equally got mine today from jumia . Let's see how long it will go

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.
Thanks I'll do that and my AC is on 18 hours in a day

how did OP even arrive at that 4,000w ?

Another is, if at all OP has such capacity and asking all these super basic questions, ain't that enough indication such person requires service of those in such field.

What's the size of your battery bank?

I don't think I've seen a 300W Jinko panel.
Yeah, I think jinko stopped production of such smaller panels a while back that's likely why you've not seen one.
It's all over jumia and there's a datasheet for it online.

With proper guidance from Nairaland, I have accomplished seemingly difficult projects. Correct me if I am wrong, but that is the essence of this forum. Also, I am considering purchasing 6pc of 635w Jinko panels from Jinko (approximately 4000w)

How do you buy from jinko?

I want to install a solar inverter with option of payment in installments over some months after installation.
Any one know of such product offering?

Can you do interest of up to 40% spread over two years or the least warranty duration of your equipment.

Get any 48 volt solar charge controller there is nothing special here the amperage (60A, 80A,100A, etc) what you buy depends on the number of solar panels you are using

Brands to buy in order ofmy preference

1) SRNE
2 Outback
3) Fangpusun
4) Felicity
5) MUST
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by justcallmenuel(m): 4:03pm On Jan 08
12pcs of 590w jinko bifacial solar panels, 1pcs of 15kwh felicity lithium battery, 1pcs of 120A felicity mppt controller, and cables going to magodo, Lagos state.

would Mr reed's 16kwh battery work well with 6kva growatt inverter?
yes it should
