Pls which website is this?

What's the price for the 8JW and the 12KW pls

That's Fouani's website @ https://fouanistore.com/

Bulk charging voltage is set at 28.2 while floating is 27.0. Are the values okay?

Change the float voltage to 28.2. Turn of the system and turn in back on

That settings is very ok but you can change it to Li lithium to see if it works for you. But I just believe it’s factory/ software error since it has always been like that, I have seen a new inverter with a similar behavior.

Guys, which solar system should I go for considering these are the ones I can afford with my budget. Which of the following products are value for money and a durable brand before I make the wrong choice

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by osic(m): 11:05pm On Mar 12

What is the amount?

adibo:
Received my 8kwh battery from Mr. Valto. Looking forward to enjoying using it

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Ayomipoe(m): 11:07pm On Mar 12

What is your load profile like and what is your maximum budget?

Load profile, ideally, what you would like to power in the daytime and what you would love to run all night?
Maximum budget. If you are looking at spending 700ish on a power station, you might start to consider a 12v standalone system

Good evening house.
I currently have a 5kva setup (growatt), with 9 620w panels.

I'm looking to upgrade my setup by adding extra 3 panels which surpasses the limit of my inverter. Which will you say is better, getting another 5kva to parallel or getting a larger single unit (8kva).

Also does anyone have any experience with alpsolar 11kw g2?

Thank you.

I got my 8.5kwh from valto too and have been serving me wela.

Guess I am welcome to the club then grin

Set to Li

Charging utility current at 20A is ok

So, I did switch it to Li, immediately I did that, the red light (fault) started blinking. Reverted the settings to USE and it returned to normal.

I've done this, but the problem still persist.

Oh. I see. There is no communication between your battery and inverter.

Action: Change Setting 03 to APL (Appliance).

19 Bulk (CV) Voltage 28.2V Charges cells to ~3.52V (safe, full charge).

20 Float Voltage 27.0V Maintains battery without stress (~3.37V/cell). If this issue continued after this setting, change Float to be the same with Bulk voltage (28.2V).

21 Low DC Cut-off 24.5V

Quick Question: When the charging stops, does the "AC" icon on the screen disappear or flash, or does the battery icon simply stop moving? Knowing this will tell us if it's a voltage stability issue or a software setting issue.

Li didn't work, the fault light was just blaring until I reverted it back to USE. I am thinking maybe it's my power supply. I've not tried charging it with gen yet.

Thanks. When the charging stops the AC disappears, then it tries to reconnect back again.

The people here don't like solar generators but some of us prefer it cos of it's portability.The Hithium solar generator have very good reviews on Jumia,just pair it with two 450 watts panel for fast charging,it also charges full in 2hrs with Nepa.

That's not true. It depends on ask. More information is given here especially on a better value for money deal compared to what you may have heard. At the end the decision is still yours to make.

Solar gens are not really value for money, unless portability is a major factor for you.

Another factor opinions are heavily based on is user experience, support and future upgrades.

Maximum budget. If you are looking at spending 700ish on a power station, you might start to consider a 12v standalone system

During the day time, the only thing that is of importance that should be running is just my small freezer and sometimes my washing machine but at night, only my 2 fans/Tv will be working because i already have Sunking that powers all the bulb in my home. That 12v standalone system, how much do you think it cost and what’s the breakdown of the set up?

Thanks, I notice a lot of people don’t like the solar generator here too but some of us like portability, especially when we don’t have much appliances to use it for. I am even thinking of getting any one of them and then pair it with the Jinko 535w Bifacial Half cell solar panel or is it better to get two 450 watts panel instead?

The two 450watts would charge it faster

Okay thanks for your input, which solar generator do you now think I should go for? And is it preferable to just use solar panels to charge it only or using both simultaneously won’t have any effect on the battery?

I told you Hithium has good reviews on Jumia,you can check it and go for it

Who can recommend an affordable mppt charge controller for me. Also any difference buying used or new charge controller?

cyif2003:

Have people looking to sell their used ones mostly due to upGrades and are mostly MPPT

As for whether there's difference between NEW or USEd, of course there always would be difference between a USEd car and Brand new car. When buying USEd, what matters is how USEd it is, and if it's ever been repaired before ELSE most times, no major difference EXCEPT of course, no warantee from the company since you didn't buy from them.

Also Asking for one to recommend affordable something without stating your max budget makes no sense because "CHicken cost, is based on who dey PRICE am" . That word "affordable" is always relative - what's affordable to Dangote could be very very very costly to You.

most times, in the not so long run, it's CHEAPer buying a sachet or smaller capacity inverter and cheap controller and battery THAN being locked in on a integrated unit

Budget like 60,000 naira to buy USEd DC fans; don't bother about their battery because you get to reUse your solar system's batteries. That way, your solar system would rarely know something is sharing battery with it even if you leave the FAN ON overNight.

Often I tell people, we waste money trying to run Solar systems; and that ends up making it too costly

Give us your max budget, and list out your loads and how often you use them and we take it from there.

My maximum budget is 600k, minus solar panel( I intend using CDcare to buy the panels to save cost)
I already have a sunking system that powers my bulbs and a fan. I just need a system that can carry my 55 inch tv, PS4 pro, small freezer(105w) and 2 fans.

Absolutely right, I have already learnt that from the thread. The issue is even the 1kva is above my budget of 600k minus panel
