I am not sure about 48v Haisic hybrid inverter.

Like someone gave an opinion above, when going 48v you have to go all out for the best else it defeats the purpose. There's Growatt, Srne, Felicity, Firman, Deye and the likes.

Mind you 5kwh will most likely not be able to power you comfortably from Sundown to sun up, unless on very strict energy management.

Quoting oga dollarnaira himself, solar na sense. So do your energy audit and know the battery capacity that will comfortably meet your needs.

bassdow:
Most of us don't even need power from sunDown to sunUp.

Some no dey too dey house sef and when they come home, they're too tired before 12am, the entire houseHold has gone to bed. As for those with young kid(s) who do morning routines + school runs where they need boil water and the likes, they now need decide if they do those with inverter or not.

A lot of us have batteryBanks that are just there to make us feel good when you tell people the KVA of our installation

bassdow:
when people trouble me with lots of questions, I tend to understand even when I shouldn't because me sef know myself. I don't mind spending 1,500 naira airtime on phone calls so long am getting information I believe is useFul especially since most people ain't interested in too much talk especially when money ain't involved.

Some (actually few) are happy to help BUT most (including those wey no really get enough information to save their lives) would hurd it like their lives depends on it.

So no worry, no question is muMu. 1 + 1 hard because you no sabi am BUT the moment you do, it becomes simple.

AmazingG007:
Wow! Thanks for the update…that means 5kva felicity inverter I’m being offering might be fake

Tdoctor:
Oga Reed, can you sell battery and casing with cable connector i.e. everything, but without BMS? Because I need the comm ports and don't mind buying batteries and casing and everything else, but get BMS by myself?

adimx:
This was not your initial submission na.
You were trying to say that 48v 4kwh battery is better than 24v 8kwh battery.

Based on your present take, it is true because the two have same capacity/power, but 48v battery is more efficient on the bases of lesser current draw on same load thereby keeping the 48v battery temperature lower and extended lifespan than 24v battery.

bassdow:
Another benefit of 48v system is - you need a smaller charge controller than if on 24v system

THE POINT HES TRYING TO RAISE IS HOW CAN YOU GIVE THE DOD OF A LIFEPO4 BATTERY AT 60% THATS FOR LEAD-ACID BATTERIES APARANTLY WHAT HE HAS IN THERE IS LEAD-ACID THAT HE'S TRYING TO RUN AWAY FROM.

AT 60% DOD IT SIMPLY MEANS HE BOUGHT ONLY
12.8X314=4019w x0.6=2411w
Approx 2.4kwh of energy is what is available to use
Instead of 4019x.8 or 4019x.9 which are
3.22kwh or 3.62kwh

This is the cog
No lifepo4 bms will place such a low DOD

osayuwamwen:
which lifepo4 have you seen with 60% DOD no matter watin una talk I already done my research on YouTube before buying this battery and I already know it is a very good buy, bros go on YouTube and do your research about this battery before you begin talk watin you nor know, check the screenshot below I have even ordered another one of same battery

Mrreed:
Yes sir, 314ah Lishen 82k, case 60k, terminal 8k

bassdow:
e get reason wey make I talk say as a shortCut, just get a 200w sachet inverter that costs 20,000 naira or less.

Unfaized:
My recommendation is according to your budget sir.
Felicity from your quote is 5kwh which is way less than 8kwh, while being more expensive @ 1m compared to 850 - 870k for more. An 8kwh battery will last you longer, almost twice what a 5kwh battery will do. (Also, do your research on Felicity lithium batteries bearing in mind true and actual capacity).

That said, Haisic 8kwh is said to be 280ah which is actually 7kwh true capacity but is a far better deal.

The best deal of all is Mrreed's @ 870k with true rated capacity of 8.1kwh. I'll recommend this from personal experience.

Mind you, this recommendation is strictly on 24v, & from personal experience since your load is less than mine. There are other available products in the market that can serve you too but you probably need to up your budget above 2m.

If you're going with my recommendations, you can contact Dam5rey (Solaris Surge) trusted here for your stuffs (Inverter, protection box & batteries ) at very good prices, then for Mrreed his contact is readily available too. Source panels from Fouani store, installer from your location and you're good.

Hello Guys,

Starting a Frozen Food Business and I will like to ask for advice if a solar setup can effectively power 2 freezers and a Chiller?

Also, I will appreciate suggestions on solid installers in Lagos

adibo:
Good evening. Sorry, I sent an email. Just want to ask a few questions if you don't mind

capnies:
How many cells can this you casing handle.
The terminal is it upto 200A capacity

dollarnaira:
All batteries including car batteries will serve you within short period of installation. Which will stand test of time is the question that no longer beg for answers.

Let me push small fear into your spine.Unless you power just tv, charging, and bulbs will this set up do 2 or 3 years or less with careful pampering before you will notice large difference in capacity. Raining season is even coming....how will you full charge it?Sulphation will kill it by then.

If you add freezer, iron, etc be rest assured your system will fail in less than a year.

Assuming you didn't know this thread before now it would have been a different issue of "had I know". But you deliberately shot your upper limb with your eyes opened .

2 tubulars is roughly 550k or more, that is more than the cost of 16 pieces of 50ah LifePO4 at 48v with more than 12yrs life span mixed with rugged usage along with washing machine, freezer, iron, all electronics etc without pampering. Today is April 3, 2025 see you in 2026 for update.

Haykay2001:
If you are going 48v,just go for high end inverters ones jeje..
I will advice do Growatt the one with dual mppt almost lil below 600 pair with 5kwh if that what you can afford now, buy that and add up later when you level up.. And if you carry well well, just buy the deye.. It lil blow 800 currently.. All this ones go make ur mind kulle for ground...

And if na 24v you wanna go for, follow what hv been said above.. You can also consider smk.. That invert no they make noise at all.. Super silent.. Although na 3.5kva unlike haisic and others sah way be 4.2...but i go still take am over other 24v any day sah.. Aside the high end ones.. Srne and co

Edrizz:
Yes I can give you the installation since we are on this thread together and I will prefer Growatt 5kva inverter tho I’m thinking felicity but with the so much fake in the market man need to be careful and again is there Fouani store in Ibadan do they sell inverters too if I can get everything there to be sure I’m not buying fake…please


I will suggest u get 5kva 48v SRNE inverter that has parallel function since u might upgrade d system in d future, 5kwh 48v from MrReed and I can help u in purchasing solar panels from Fouani... I resident in Ibadan, lemme handle the installation for you boss


Contact on bio

AmazingG007:
Thanks Boss….even if I’m going for Growatt the problem now is where can get the original product in Ibadan or Lagos with fair price…if anyone could point me to right direction where to buy the original product like there store or certified distributors….thanks

RickyM:
A picture or a seller recommendation?

ceaser:
317L thermocool inverter freezer (24hrs for chilled drinks supply)
207L thermocool freezer (24hrs for ice block supplies)
203L Ignis freezer (24hrs for house foods)
Desktop fridge (24hrs)
1hp LG inverter AC (intermittent), 1hp submersible pumping machine (intermittent)
Sundry appliances (Lightings, TVs, Chargers, Food blender, Washing machine, Cameras, Sec. Alarms, water Fountain (24hrs), DC standing Fans, Gate opener etc) - intermittent

These are the appliances I can think of for now

Setup:

320w mono panels (16pcs) on 5kw 48v felicity hybrid
150w mono panels (8pcs) on a different Charge controller
150w mono panels (4pcs) on a second Charge controller

25ah 48v Lithium (10pcs)in parallel to make 250ah
280ah 48v Lithium (1unit)
Total LFP - 530ah 48v (25kw)

All these gets fully charged at days with good sun hours by 3pm
Less so during rainy seasons or dry seasons when dust cover on the panels is unavoidable and at those times, load shedding becomes a priority and the freezers are turned on and off at intervals.

There is another 24v system with 4pcs 320w mono panels and 300ah Lithium that powers a separate 203L Hisense freezer dedicated for Ice block supplies.

MY loads at any point in time, excluding the AC usually ranges between 800w to 1200w, the former being at off peak periods when everyone has retired to bed.

All has been running for a minimum of 7 to 9 years. All were not done at once but gradually built up, which explains the different lithium configurations and the rather awkward panel configurations and 150w and 320w specifications which represents the different times in history when such panel sizes were the mainstream. And it was mostly DIY.

Note that some of the appliances like the Router, Cams, Security Alarm, Some lights, Water fountain, Sliding Gate openers are all DC powered appliances that each have small packs of lithium batteries so that even when there is AC power supply shutdown, these vital components still continue to run for at least 10 hours.

Thought this might give you an insight into what you may require for your frozen food business.

Good luck
