It all depends on how "Professional and Experienced' the Installer is, in doing Roof Jobs.
I used one called @Zeestone99 / MAZINE Energy / MAZINE GROUP and everywhere on my Roof was leaking after the installation

Thank you for bringing this up to me Chief.
I will sure stay clear of this person or his likes.
Meanwhile, I will consider your recommendation cool

Good morning

Has anyone mixed mono facial and bi facial panels (same brand jinko) of SIMILAR SPECS without issues?

Is it possible?

They are actually Lithium batteries (LiFePO4) made with Grade A cells. See datasheet attached. A capacity test has been done on them, see links below, and we will be conducting a live strip down test on them soon.

And yes, it can power your house. You either get an inverter, AC charger and solar charge controller (as seen in first picture below), all of which i can provide, or get an Hybrid (all-in-one) inverter. I have a Haisic 1.5kva available for 190k. See picture below

a hybrid (all-in-1) inverter (

Boss, How does the separate inverter and AC charger compare to the Hybrid (all-in-one) in terms of cost and capability?

Also, how much are the batteries?

I have read it, and all I can say is that Zeestone99 nor try at all.


I don’t know why some of these folks don’t apologize. I’m sure it’s the reason this case was brought to Nairaland.

It’s a good virtue to show sympathy and apology when you are wrong and when your wrong has cost someone their hard-earned money. You listen and learn at that point. This way you will have no choice than improve on your skills and do better.

The thing you don’t know is that you are spoiling your name.

We are Sorry about your roof. I responded to your message and I think the bots banned or deleted my message. If you are still having issues with your roof, send me a message. I can make arrangements to get professionals to fix it for you at no cost from your end. We will try to reach out to you. You can also check my signature for contact or reply to this message. Thanks.

Okay, I see now.
1.2 kWh Lithium battery
+ 1.5 KVA / kW pure sinewave Inverter

should cover it, yes?

Battery ~ 200k
Inverter ~ 70k

I often find it difficult giving quotes without having idea of max budgets as what we might give might end up not being useful due to costs

for the PV cable (the wire coming from the solar panels on top the roof to your apartment), budget 25m length of cable be it Aluminium or copper depending on budget.

for freezer of 20Litre, I want to presume you meant 200 litre.

for inverter, go for minimum of 3.5kva or 5kva as cost difference ain't much. Feel free to do hybrid or standard inverter. Could be 24v or 48v though I tend to suggest 48v but then it largely depends on your budget as battery dey wait for you.

for batteries, go for leadAcid or Lithium batteries based on your preference and if you trust your vendor.

If not Hybrid inverter, then you need an external charge contorller, go for minimum of 60A MPPT and again depending on budget, budget anywhere from 80,000 naira for NEW or USEd one.

For solar panels, you would be needing a minimum of 4pcs of 400w mono solar panels new or used based on budget.

then budget for circuit breakers and the likes including installation

most times, 1.5kva inverter ain't worth it. try making it minimum of 3kva even if you have to get used. in fact you might find your self having a need to upgrade earlier than necessary
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by teejx13: 1:59pm On Feb 23
Okay, 3kva should be like 100 -110k, right?

That leaves charging the battery, unless the charging is handled by the inverter as well.

see eh, better you quote your max budget make group see what to say
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by cyif2003(m): 2:53pm On Feb 23
3kva inverter is btw 150 to 250k for used

there's a reason they ain't allowed on airPlanes.

the only lithium battery related fire I've seen is the one I intentionally cause myself. I threw a single cell into a burning fire just to see the outcome, compared with other battery chemistry.

me be that kind person wey fit enter a well secured superMarket, try theif something as little as chewing gum just to see if I could get past their (sophisticated) security system.

funny enough, even some phone's battery bank is enough to bring down a building. The more reason batteries lithium or not shouldn't be used or placed carelessly. A single near spent cigarette can do same if the opportunity arises.
You missed sharing an important information.

What was the outcome of the cells you threw into fire? How intense was the burn?

the glow (flame color) and explosion is enough for one to create a mini explosive with a handful

JoeSef0:
I see
How about using a normal sachet inverter or those other 1kva inverter that has charger along side external charger so that when there's grid input it will bypasss.
I currently use a 1kw famicare Inverter but the charging amps is too low, I'm thinking of getting an external charger to add to it
Unless I am using a hybrid inverter, I am not a fan of using inverters with charging function to charge my batteries. Most times, it undercharges your battery, and leaves you with less backup time. I speak out of direct experience.

It is not a bad idea to use the inverter with ups function to power your home, bypass grid and even charge your battery. But you can consider supporting the charging function with an external charger. So that when the inverter stops charging and indicate your batteries as being full, the external charger will continue charging until your batteries are actually fully charged

Okay. No wàhálà.

They can continue to solder 18650s and even with wires. Why not?

They shouldnt even bother to use spot welded strips as it'll be highfalutin, isn't it?

The fact that you had a fire case doesn't mean everyone will. Do not generalize a case because you experienced it twice. It Is like telling someone to avoid driving a Nissan car on Sundays because you had accidents twice every Sundays.

why not get in touch in that line of business.

3 projects I have handled, the owners used AirConditioner compressor. Mind you, I didn't do the building; just handled the Solar setUp side
Can you kindly do a quick rundown on the solar set up for these I dustrial freezers? I will love to have a rough idea about the implications.

By the way, the inquire about inverter compressor; it's a very good idea. But I dont think access or knowledge about it is as common as the regular compressors just yet. The inverter compressor of a 317L thermocool stopped working few months outside warranty. The technician (a good one) called to see to it said inverter compressor as replacement part is still a rarity in Nigeria market as spare part vendors won't stock them cos of Technicians` little understanding with it which invariably precludes its demand

I don't mind sachet or used if it's functional and reliable.

budget is ₦400k -> ₦450k.

I don't think my total load is up to 400W continuous.

baba 450k cannot power those loads.. Even if you buy used, you will just dey yourself up for head aches. Buy 3000w sachet inverter for 100k, but at least 150ah of lithium. No let anybody Bobo you say tubular battery good ó. Buy a 12v charger from linnov for 50k. With this, if una dey get light small small, ẹ go still serve you. But if you plan on adding panels, just close eyes buy hybrid 1.5kva

basically the solar capacity depends on the following:

1. how long you intends running the machine: only during the day or also at Night

2. Capacity of the compressor: What's needed for a 3HP compressor differes when compressor's capacity is higher or lower.

Above are the major variables that determines size of the solar system. It's just like using solar to power AirConditioning system.

For a rought start, for 3kva system, you need like 13 to 15 kva inverter + at least 12pcs of 550w solar panels + battery whose capacity depends on if you intends running 24/7 or just to maintain them cool till next day.

Just ensure the person handling the freezer project does a good work. Also the more efficient the compressor is, the better

if you intends using Solar panels, this money no go easily fly Ooo.

Either way, if you within Lagos or Ogun state, I could be of help BUT still, budget 500,000 naira to be on safer side especially if you intends using Solar panels
