It doesn't take long if u made payment once, it is only when you are doing pay small small, and you spread your Payment to like 12months so u will have to wait for like 6months which is half of your payment time frame before your item will be delivered to you then you can now pay the remaining half within the remaining times, I bought 4 of my jinko 535watt bificial panel at fouani when I went back a month later to buy the remaining 3 they were already at of stock so I later bought the remaining 3 from cdcare, with 2 month installment plan as am talking to you am still owing then money for 1 panel but all the panels are here with me am installing them 2moro, cdcare is safe them go parkage your panel well with wood to avoid dent or scratch )
I await your review for that luxsun inverter.

Gshems:
if you are on band A dead that thought of charging through nepa only. Looad of 600w plenty small ó.
The best setup is dependent on your budget
Why do you say it's a bad idea to charge with NEPA, even on band A?
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Partnerbiz3: 6:02am On Mar 08
bassdow:
Charging with NEPA is rarely optimal except you got quality charger matching said battery. Again, you failed to state your max budget
You mean I can't get chargers to charge solar comfortably?

How are ATMs charged?

Just asking please

Budget is around 500k to 800k

I just want a small set up

hardeycute:
thanks for your reply. i want to be off grid (of course with load management in mind), i live in an area under BAND E so i don’t think i would be having opportunities for that and i do not like the idea of charging my battery with a gen.
Well, if you add up the cost of a 3kw sachet inverter and the cheapest MPPT controller I would recommend, the price is already about same price as these units. I'll recommend a hybrid, but the ultimate decision is yours.

hardeycute:
is that the new battery price for a 24v with mrreed? thanks
That's a rough estimate, you can reach him to verify. He's Solid.
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Trippledots(m): 7:45am On Mar 08
Gshems:
620w panels will go past 15a max amps of bread inverter
To the best of my understanding, the inverter will only pull the amps that it needs.

Not sure the battery in the haisic is full capacity, but it's still a better deal than the ecoflow. Although the ecoflow had app and some neat monitoring from your phone.
Thanks, please do you know where I can get the Haisic product in Lagos?
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Trippledots(m): 7:46am On Mar 08
hoover420:
You mean I should go for the Haisic right? Do you have any idea where it can be sold and the cost?
I'ld recommend it OVER the ecoflow, for your needs. Damreey here sells them, you can reach him. Or check his webstore.

Thanks very much. I think I’ll just check him out and see if he can do house installation too.
Do you say this would be enough for the load i want to carry?

Yes. That's what was recommended to you. But also ask him price of the all in one unit. I think with that you get to save on wire from inverter to battery.

Hi Guys,
Can anyone give me an assist, on how to connect this KMF 160 Coulomb Meter in my DIY?

i use a Hybrid inverter, so there is no external charger, as indicated in the diagram. Does this mean l connect the thick red wire to the PV input of the Inverter, (as the charger?)
Don't know if you have got a solution to this.

Your load and charger are the same terminal. So basically the monitor sits between the battery and the hybrid charger.

It' has been long you posted your cells prices here.
We want to know your new discounted cells prices.

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
Is your 207L thermocool freezer the standing freezer?
How many hours does it take for it to produce ice blocks?
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by xzynwa: 9:08am On Mar 08
Does anyone have any experience using this thermocool standing freezer?

It has 8hours written on the body as how long it takes to produce ice block.

I want to know it that is really true from someone who has used it or knows someone who do.

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Valto(m): 9:24am On Mar 08

Good morning house, pls I want to know a great brand of DC fan that can cool very well almost like a 26 inches ox industrial fan while saving power

I've not used this type but from experience I've had with other products you can trust Hair thermocool when it comes to cooling devices like fridge, freezers, AC etc not saying their other products are not good but I've been using their cooling devices for years and they always measure up.

Now to reality, in advertisements whatever is claimed should not be taken at face value as most of these claims printed on almost all products are true but those tests are usually done in the most perfect of conditions which would most likely not be the same condition you will have when you're using the product. So as a rule of thumb you add an hour or two, maybe 3 to the 8 hours to make up for the differing conditions.

Please busy minds how many litres of water frezes into the big size of ice blocks commonly sold 500 naira
The normal capacity when filled to the brim is around 4.7 - 5 litres. But when filled to the brim it is hard to tie up.

There is no one size fits all. It depends on individual preference. 4.5litres is the average that gives room for handling and tieing. You can add to the 4.5litres if you can tie it up.

Qasa. May not cool as much as Ox due to RPM difference. But it's an ok power saver brand.

Between the price you got on Fouani and CDCare, which is cheaper?
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by osayuwamwen(m): 1:06am On Mar 09
Fouani is cheaper
