ever heard of "pun" ?

though here, I don't even know if it were intended or not

KA24DETT:
You cant beat physics bro. Sachet consumes less than hybrids inverters. Hybrid gives cleaner power but you pay for it with higher consumption. Go with hybrid but add 1-2 extra panels to your system. do you really need a transformer based hybrid inverter? non transformer based are okay but repairs can be pricey, they are dicey.

Thanks. I need a non-transformer based, but definitely standalone. There is already a 100A MPPT charge controller installed. A 6.5kwh LFP already on ground. Just needed a recommendation for a good standalone inverter that is not a power hog.

Any ideas please?

check out Tbb inverters, but expensive

dollarnaira:
12v 4.2kwh
Made in Nigeria
Locally made
Lagos made
Ikorodu made

The main ingredients are the cells.

Successfully powered a 0.75hp sumo

What is the capacity of the inverter?

Hi

please which brand did you end up buying? i want to buy, unfortunately the APEX i saw on jumia is out of stock and over here our light is below 70V

NEPA soon came with their wàhálà again. Vandalized transformer and no power for months on end. So I kikuma suspend purchase of voltage stab.

Get a decent 24 V hybrid inverter and connect your panels directly to it—Felicity, Deye, Growatt, or units from Valto or other trusted sellers on this platform all work. I’ll go with Felicity mainly because their service centers are everywhere. I’ll buy directly from their main office and make sure it’s properly registered for warranty. Omo, repairs will come—it’s not a question of if, just when.

The 100 A MPPT charge controller can be kept as a spare, no solar equipment is ever truly wasted—it usually comes in handy later
If you’d rather sell it, I can take it off your hands for ₦100k and you can put that money toward a hybrid inverter.

Keep in mind that hybrid inverters do consume slightly more power than a separate MPPT-plus-inverter setup. Another option is a sachet inverter paired with your MPPT, but the caveats are lower real-world wattage than advertised and a chopped/modified waveform output.

waleayeni1:
Thanks for responding to me. Meaning that if I get a DC standing fan, it would work well with regular grid connections but consume less power

Yes,, immediately, consumption will drop.. same airflow but just low power consumption.

Unfaized:
Oh. It's been great. No issues at all. Bms is rated for 200amps, I've done up to 173 amps discharge and it took it like a champ.

Comes with a display & monitoring via jk bms app on phone. Best deal ever!

I don't know if Mrreed changed cases for recent models, mine aesthetically is 10/10. Highly recommended at that price ✌🏾.

Thanks a lot for the feedback. Did you install an external circuit breaker by yourself for protection?

AyobamiOluwole:
No bro, not everyone is like you or him in that aspect.

Not at all. A thief is a thief to a person who is not a thief. But a thief is a brother to another thief.

You are calling him a thief? Are there proof he stole from you?

Let that case die..

Besides he asked for a link up.

adibo:

You mean between inverter and battery? No I didn't. Mostly for 24v it's not compulsory. The battery has an on and off button and that's enough.

For higher voltages it's highly recommended.

KA24DETT:
I use Felicity in my business and have real-world experience across multiple models: the 5 kVA (4/5) in the past, the 8 kVA (3/5), and their newer 12 kVA (5/5). The 5 kVA unit is actually sufficient and performs well for the average household.

My ratings are based on continuous commercial use—about 9 hours per day, 6 days a week, 50 weeks a year, at roughly 75% load and 3x over panelling , which comes out to ~2,700 operating hours per year. I run very high load consistently so i doubt most home users will run their inverters that high.

One of the most important factors when buying any inverter or battery is having a nearby service center. I learned this the hard way with PowMr (No service centre in Nigeria)

No matter what brand you choose, make sure there’s a service center close to you. You’ll likely need it by year 2 or 3 of operation.
I have 2 5kv at a felicity service centre now. this is after 20 months of use.. I have not used Deye but looking at their specs sheet and build quality, it will be amazing. You have to understand, Nigerians are very price sensitive so companies have to build around what nigerians can afford.

Thanks your response, I wanted to go for Felicity products too, but based on some research, I learn that their batteries do not give out the full capacity as stated on rating.

It appears c worth is doing well in that regard. And as for service centers, I browsed and saw cworth have one in lekki.

Do you have any experience using the product?

Xanderone:
Abeg elaborate more on the bolded. Are you using it as the starter battery in place of the regular LA car battery?

Paralleled with lead acid to mitigate idle drain. Ran a cable from the battery compartment to my glove box where the LFP sits cooly.

Good morning my chairmen them, where can I get this in lithium battery or have it built with lithium battery?

I don tire to dey change this fan battery every 4 months.

why stress yourself when you could just draw power directly from your battery or 12v source to your Fan. if said Fan has an external port, you use that else just pair it with the internal battery (so the internal battery helps drop the external 12v to the 6v or 7v needed).

Would have said more BUT that could be stressful especially since we don't know what you got there.

As for the battery, you could easily buy from those who sell such BUT you still would need a charging system as the Fan's internal charging system not good for it. For me, those na long journey especially since mine is used almost 24 hours a day.

Alternatively, message me on whatsApp so I see what you currently got. Would need see your solar inverter and batteries and charge controller and the fan's front and rear view

Why do you still need a battery fan since you run on inverter?

Don't buy transformerless inverter

Their MOSFETs blow easily after a while.

Visit any electrician/radionic shop where they repair inverters, you will see mountain of dead sachet inverters there.

Some don't last 6 months before they blow and they're over-rated too.

2,000W written on it but if you put 1,000w load continually, MOSFETs will blow.

I would rather buy tokunbo bluegate ups in good condition than buy sachet inverter again

dollarnaira:

I love all my appliances in perfect condition even if I’m making use of it or not o.

The battery doesn’t hold charge anymore so I need to have it replaced.

be like say year 2026 na the year people go dey CONFIRM all the plenty things wey I dey talk.

Not even just sachet inverters BUT hybrid inverters especially the cheap ones. Me no really need visit repairers because me sef sabi fix to an extent myself and just seeing the inside of a working one alone is enough to know if it's rugged or not.

Having said that, if you buy a good sachet inverter, and use it carefully enough by not loading it close to 80% of it's advertised rating, it should last for you BUT if you buy a 3kva sachet inverter and try to give it even 2.8kva load, you're looking for trouble especially if said load is sustained and a high draw load.

Same thing wey make dem effieint is same reason they're fragile. Oga above called it physics and he's probably right

Chai.
This is fallacy of generalization.
Satchet Inverters pass Satchet Inverters oo.
Probably you bought those shiny ones with usb ports everywhere...
Good Satchet Inverters are available on AliExpress not Nigeria shops

My backup 800w Satchet Inverter powered a 0.5hp sumo. E shock you? 500w powered 115w freezer and top up with washing machine plus tv etc all together ooo.

Pls patronize good products.

Team Satchet Inverter 2022 till date....

A 3000w Satchet inverter is surge allowance but a continuous of 1500w. Inveter pass inveter ooo, it depends on your source. It doesn't work for you doesn't mean it won't work for others. Pls DO NOT GENERALIZE.

Inverter wey dey power AC hmmm

did you see where I said the cheap ones. issue is, when you don't go th extra mile to point that out, most would think all sachet inverters are same.
A lot of them sef no be pureSineWave to begin with.

Did you also see where I pointed out you need be careful while using it. people deyy carelessly overLoad common normal inverters, let alone the sachet ones.

Now you rightly said "A 3000w Satchet inverter is surge allowance but a continuous of 1500w." but how many people are aware of such precaution. Dem go buy 3,000w come wan use am finish. That it works for a very few, doesn't mean it would work for the majority

That his battery is only 7ah, so you need jlithium ion

fuckboys:

I don tire to dey change this fan battery every 4 months.

If you get solar, just draw wire from charge controller or battery to it , finish

Put the dead battery back Inside like that

Connect red and black wires to the terminals or even without the battery

Draw the wire to your charge controller

If it doesn't run from charge controller and the battery still works, though weak, put the battery back there, connect wire from charge controller to battery terminals (leave space on the battery terminals so wires from the fan internals can slide in... It should work

Only disadvantage is that you will not be able to be carrying it about again or you will need really long wires if the place you usually use it is far from where your solar set up is

only need see the portion I circled in red.

Also you didn't show us the charge contorller and inverter and battery so we know what you've got.make I no go ask you to connect 24v to 6v battery
