@bassdow , e be like seun's bot don follow de hide your long Epistle posts too

unfortunately, I kinda know how to byPass it. and funny thing be say na just 7 words i typed.

mayBe e vex say the words no long enough as Oga seun dey find long words

No lifep04 battery with 60% DOD sir, go YouTube and watch review of 314ah 12v humsienk or 314ah 12v wattccycle battery i tink both are from same company

Please how has the experience been since buying this battery, thinking of getting one

The battery is very good, if u are doing 24v just pair two and add 24v auto balancer to it and u get 8kwh for less than 1millon,

Good day gurus in the house, I’m about to begin my solar journey in a 1 bed apartment. I’m thinking of going for a small setup that can carry a Tv, play station 4, a freezer and a fan… and sometimes microwave. Which should I go for in the following and budget friendly? The other options i listed there don’t have solar panels yet but I intend getting them soon.

thanks

I’m currently running a 12V system with a 1.2kVA Prag inverter and I'm planning to pair it with a Humsienk charger. Since this is my first move to Lithium, I’m trying to be extra careful with the specs.

I have a few questions based on your experience with the 314Ah unit since February:

Capacity: Does it actually deliver the rated 314Ah? I’ve noticed some brands fall short of their advertised capacity, so I’d value your honest take.

Performance: Have you noticed any negatives or 'red flags' after using it for these past few months?

DOD & Monitoring: Someone mentioned a 60% Depth of Discharge (DOD) limit—is that accurate in your experience? Also, are you able to monitor the real-time status via Bluetooth?

Charging: How long does it typically take you to reach a full charge?

I’ve watched the YouTube reviews, but I’d much rather hear from a fellow Nigerian. Our use cases and climate can be quite different from what’s tested abroad. Thanks for the help, Chief!

Go and watch the video on YouTube the battery is actually more than the stated capacity on real world capacity test

The one I bought is not smart, you can get d Bluetooth version if u see on jumia

But you didn’t do justice to his questions.

Or I should guess that you indeed marketed that product here on Nairaland 🤷🏼. Cos I remembered people coming for you then, that you were stylishly marketing that product.

You can’t share your experience when you don’t have any.

so you have to rely on a Video you didn't make yourself ? No wonder the number of religious centers keeps increasing.

Wonder what stop you doing your own findings or take reviews from those you know and can tell for sure have no vested interest financially in said product.

See your authority, see as u they beg with confidence

TlDr: Buy Copper if you can else just use thicker NEPA wire.

when it comes to PV cables (the wire from Solar panels to charge controller / hybrid inverter), it's either Quality Copper or Aluminium (NEPA) wire.

One thing I would suggest is, when doing high voltage solar installation, I am begining to think it matters much if you use NEPA wire so long it's thick enough. That's becauuse with Higher voltage, the current on the cables would be lower. it's major reason even NEPA / PHCN uses such wire.

BUT if you could afford copper, all the best BUT you could go for USEd copper after comparing prices.

To avoid buying anyhow copper wire, go for network cables like eRicsson. You know them by the fact they are flat (not round), and contains earth inside making it 3 core instead of the regular 2 core.


BUT if I were to do a high voltage installation again, and client doesn't care or is not spending much, thicker NEPA wire would be given a trial. We shouldn't be having upwards of 300v on the roof and still be spending heavily on copper wires.

okay, I will go for the copper wire.

na after like 3-years I go know wether na hit or miss.

Also there are battery brands that start out good but along the line starts misbehaving hence na mostly those who bought the first or second set dey enjoy am. Either way, me no sabi play pingPong

Make sure to confirm the power rating of your microwave, in mine for instance, it goes as high as 1.6kw, so I doubt the 1.5kva inverter can work well with a microwave.

That battery has a lot of positive reviews on Jumia so you can give it a try, however from the listed features I think Bluetooth monitoring is not present.

If you want Bluetooth monitoring you can go for Deriy 3.6kwh, or you can contact Mrreed for a 4kwh build with a smart bms that has bluetooth monitoring. Explore your options and see what works out best for you, one thing is you'll never go wrong with this move.

Good luck.

Na from this group I started my 12v journey I learnt alot from this group, sorry if I spoil people business without knowing

You are a marketer jor, how much commission do they pay you bro?

Pls my 4200watt luxsun inverter 24v could not power my 1.5hpower submersible pump, but it power my electric cooker and hair fryer, when I on my pump the inverter shows the submersible pump is pulling 4kw and shows 100% load. 1.5hpower submersible pump is less than 1500watt I think

Have you considered replacing the pump with a .75hp?

I don't know if 0.76hp can pull up water from that depth

Replace your pump to Astra 1HP, it would serve. Mind you in my area 1.5HP is d standard, but i switched mine to Astra 1HP and i am good.

that's one of the low points of (cheap) transformerLess inverters. dem no dey get strength and if you force dem, dem go pop. Even if e manage power am, e life no go long because it's outside it's capacity. You need like 6kva.

Alternatively, you could try increasing capacity of the capacitor in the control box of the submersible pump BUT can't tell how far that can help or if it would help at all. Truth is, that inverter small.

Don't know who told you 1.5HP is 1,500watts. You probably don't know about surge.

But wait Ooo. so you wan use transformerLess inverter of 24v to take power 1.5HP submersible pump.

meanWhile, shey na Hair abi Air you dey FRY

Polaris1:

if those who drilled the boreHole installed 1.5HP, they obviously know better. The more the dept, the higher the capacity required. Who knows, 1HP might help but never 0.75HP except those who recommended it didn't know their work.

12v 4.2kwh with Jk smart bms 550k

The whole thing just tire me borehole is the reason I spend this much on solar, the inverter carry my induction cooking and the cooker is about 1500watt but it showing it pulling 1.7kw for the inverter side na 1500watt I take they reason 1.5hpower submersible pump thinking say with surge say nor suppose pass 4500watt and my inverter get 2x surge rating

4.2kva is equivalent to 3.3kw... The depth of your bore hole is also a huge factor because the deeper it goes, the more amperage it requires to overcome the pressure. So yes 1.5hp can pull as much as 3kw and more.

you really don't understand much. you for ask the installer. You can't use 4000watts from a 4kva inverter except you want to burn it. So imagine now trying to draw 4500watts from a 4kva inverter. No be so na. Doing such on an inverter with heavy transformer not possible, let alone that aJebo inverter over there.

Another is, an induction cooker doesn't consume energy much. It's like the energy saving bulbs. So no use am compare at all.

Except na you do installation yourself, na discussions such as these you and person wey go do setUp suppose discuss. Atimes me go ask question so tey some go begin dey feel uncomfortable because except you pry answers out of them; most rarely would go that far informing you of their requirements

Valto:
12v 4.2kwh with Jk smart bms 499k

@ codemaster2much see sweet deal for you.

I ask b4, na even sms 5kv 24v I b wan buy but he say sms too get issues my nor buy am, na him take introduced me to luxsun inverter anyway nothing spoil, any time I wan change pump na to buy solar hybrid pump use with this inverter
