I actually bought it online so physical testing would have been impossible.Thanks anyways.
if Na konga or jumia, you still fit get luck

If the charge controller in the device is a pwm getting a 560w panel might be an issue
Mandate1:
so sorry about your experience. However, the device is not faulty, rather it's the power in your area that is faulty. The voltage entering the device is poor or fluctuates too much.

Check the settings on the stabilizer you bought, you might need to press a button to increase the voltage range on the stabilizer.

Moreover, why are you buying stabilizer when all you need is a solar panel? Please don't buy another stabilizer.
Get a good solar panel Jinko, JA or any good one of around 585-600w. Send me your WhatsApp number to be added to a WhatsApp group on powerstation.

Good day House
Please I need recommendation and approx. cost for a budget solar setup that can power

- About 4-5 ceiling fans, max of 3 at night
- 6 Energy saver bulb
- 65" TV
- Then charging of mobile phones and/or a laptop

Location is in the north

Expert in the house, please help/assist.
Thank you
3.6kwh/12v battery-500k
1kwh hybrid inverter-250k
4*500w Jinko panels-400k
installation ~400k


500w/1kwh itel powertank- 310k
2*500w Jinko panels-100k
installation ~250k

This 2nd option won't power 3 regular fans through out the night, but it's cheaper based on your budget. Maybe one fan throughout the night is a possibility.

If your fans are energy saving fans then 3 throughout the night is a possibility.

Happy new year.

I have a shipment of 100 pieces of 18650 cells that just arrived and a SUOER MPPT 40A 48V controller for sale. The cells are 2600 mah fairly used cells.

I want to sell to any interested Lagos buyer.

Cells 850 each.
Controller is 90k slightly negotiable.

Cc all able DiYers.
I am interested in the cells, can I pay 700 for each?

Your charger is a pwm type and it is acting accordingly i.e it pushes current at intervals. If you are satisfied with the battery capacity, get an external charger. However, personally I don't recommend professionally built power stations.
we don talk am BUT dem no go hear. It's even worse when they purchase them outside mobility purposes.

Didn't know installation depends on budget I thought it was load that determines budget. I don't have a budget, I already stated the load it will carry and I mentioned I value quality. I was hoping to get cost.
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Ayomipoe(m): 2:54pm On Jan 16
Bros, Na your budget be the main thing.
Solar does not have a limit, you have to set it because there's so much config you can have. Batteries also have varieties and cost points.

Your budget will allow people let you know if you should go for a 24v or 48v system. And in that class sef the quality of products also have different price points.

can you spend 20m to install solar? angry

40m? Is it coaxial cable wire he will to use to do the installation?

Original copper flex wire is expensive o

Everything should not cost less than 80m

Thanks for the explanation.
Since my post I have done small research. I don't think a 24v system will be able to carry a 1hp AC. A big TV and small appliances like a few white bulbs and 2 small 50W standing fans. My budget is 1M. Don't know if it'll be enough to include quality panels like jinko, and batteries like felicity etc

Na 1m you hold come Dey make noise for this thread since.

Your 1m will not even setup a high grade 12v solar system not to talk of 48v.

1) 10kwh 48v battery = ₦1.4m
2) 6kva hybrid inverter ₦600k
3) 8 nos 600w Solar Panels @ ₦115k/each = ₦920k

That's almost ₦3m.

You'd need to up your budget.

1m is not small, but it can only get you a 12v system, and you're wrong, 24v, even 12v can power your pumping machine without stress.

12v Haisic inverter---200k ish

12v Haisic 4kwh lithium battery---450k ish

2 550 watts Jinko Solar Panels---200k ish

Installation + materials, depends on where you're sourcing plus installer---150k ish


I won't be the one to tell you about the brand of battery you mentioned but I am not sure you really did a good enough research hehehe.

Can i power a submersible pump of 1.5hpower with this 24v inverter and two of this 12v battery I screenshot bellow ? If yes I already have 2 400watt panel how many 400watt panel am I adding to the two I have installed before?

Simple answer Yes BUT
1) How long you want to power the pump will determine the numbers of panels to recharge the batteries
2) Is the pump the ONLY thing that will be on at that given time?
3) Are you sure the battery can be connected in series to get 24v?
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by osayuwamwen(m): 4:16am On Jan 17
Pump can run maximum of 3hrs
I have an inverter refrigerator that I wan to keep on always but I can power off if need be
I thought two 12v battery can be connected in series to gv a 24v or do you mean that not all 12v battery can be connected in series for 24v?

Supports 4S4P ( 4 in series and 4 in parallel) so yes you can combine to make 24 v

You have 2x400w panels already. If you can add at least FOUR more it will be nice. The more the merrier. This will ensure the battery is not stressed.
I am assuming you are not connected to the grid.
