Just got the 725w jinko bifacial panel today...

It's too big, infact, it's over big.....

Installer fit fall why trying to bring them up to the roof

Can you pls snap the sticker label on the panel for me to confirm something. Thanks

I think it's important people know how big and heavy these panels are especially if you're a tenant.

Even the 535w bifacial is so heavy omo.

Glad you see what they go through so when next you're billed, don't think you're being taken advantage off so long it's reasonable sha.

Also now you also understand why some of us keep complaining of Weight on Roofs especially since Such roofs were never provisioned for such dead weights.

Lots of buildings nowAdays have roofs composed of tiny slim woods + low quality roofing sheets. To make matters worse, na mostly sendDownTheRain designs dem dey do.

imagine having such hefty things concentrated on a portion of the roof VS having more of them in smaller weights spread across the roof

funny enough, if we look am well, you don't need bi-Facial solar panels. Several times, I don shout + complain about the unnecessary weights + the fact most are buying Bi-Facial when they don't need one.

Even few others don follow join BUT rarely does it make much difference. Funny enough, after buying many of such hefty solar panels, they still expects you to collect ppeaNuts as fees to climb funny roofs to install those.

ordinary 550w solar panel is heavy enough, let alone the bi-Facial version all on roof tops not designed for such loads. A lot of buildings are struggling to carry weight of the roof alone, let alone such extra dead Weight.

Funny enough, a lot of bungalows lack Pillars, and most don't use tie beam or chained Lintel, na short Lintel dem dey use.
Add to it the fact a lot of them rely on load bearing blocks which even sef are not structurally strong enough.

Sha Nigeria is currently on Solar usage boom, na in some couple of years we go know how far

The truth is, a lot of us wouldn't buy large capacity solar panels when given contracts because we know the stress + issues we face when having them installed BUT when potential users come here asking, a class of people always suggest they go for the highest capacity available hence if you see 1,000w, just go for it even if you need 12pcs.

why 6pcs of 700w solar panels when you could get 12pcs of 350w solar panels or 10pcs of 400w solar panels so the weight spreads and should anyOne goes bad or breaks, you loose less. if I talk, e go be like say I no know wetin I dey yarn.

if you talk plenty, dem go begin say you're of stoneAge. blaBlaBla

Imagine having to install 8pcs of 550w Bi-facial solar panels on roof top of a 3 storeyed building. Thunder come fire you, the best ladder available slim like Boy-Alinko, come dey dance like praying Mantis. Let's pretend the roof sef no be sendDownTheRain + the roofing sheets ain't as thin as tissue paper

I feel like teaching you how to do the necessary calculations so you're able to help yourSelf BUT issue is, I have done that several times YET people rarely read previous pages hence I'm begining to see such as stressful and waste of time as no need doing something that wouldn't be utilized.

Still have made a weak attempt as I am not even motivated enough to stress mysef as Me know say na just waste of time trying to teach people something they got little to no interest in.

See the area I underLined in red, take the 1650w and divide it by the wattage of solar panels you want to use which is 400w in your case and whatever number you get, is the maximum number of 400w solar panels the charge controller can handle.

I underLined the 1650w because from your comment, your battery is 24v. if it's 12v or 36v, or 48v, or 96v, it would be different.

So 1650 / 400 = 4 which means you can use maximum of 4pcs of 400w solar panels.

A 48v battery, would allow up to 8pcs of same 400w solar panels.

of course, depending on configuration, you still need to ensure the total current and voltage remains within range.

I would have continued further BUT like already said, most of una na viewOnce una dey do hence all these na waste of time.

Battery isn't actually up to 8kwh, more like 7kwh. Still a great deal for the price, though.

Hi guys, pls I'll like to know if it's possible to buy a wifi dongle for this type of inverter? (laxsun 4.2kva 24v hybrid) was thinking the wifi dongle will come with it but it didn't.. And it seems it has the dongle port.

I got this particular panel and I thought it was just small panel till it got delivered. Infact I had to wait till everyone was out and in the evening before I installed because I know if the landlady see it, she might not accept to get it installed. Now the installer is telling me that I’ll need atleast 2 to allow my inverter to charge fast. I was like which kind wahala be this one. A 1.5kva inverter though.
Now my question is, can I get a lower panel like 200 watt to compliment it or I’ll have to buy that exact 535 watt bi facial panel again?
Meanwhile since I installed it 5 days ago, the highest it has produced is 250 watt and lower, I don’t know it it is due to the weather or that is the highest it would be generating

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by durodee(m): 12:05pm On Apr 01

I know the guy don sell the CC but for record purposes the CC would have worked well.
CCs can tolerate over panelling but not overvoltage.
So, what the CC does is take the maximum of 1650w @24v and ignored the rest. Many people on this forum recognised that and overpanel for cloudy days where production may be severely affected.

To determine the expected daily generation of the panels, a factor of 0.7 (inefficiency factor, wiring, distance, cloud cover etc) X total panels X hours of insolation.
2400w X 0.7= 1680w well within the range of the 1650w @24v.

Benefit? He would have been making full use of his money without extra expenditure.

There is absolutely certainty that four panels will be giving him about 1200w/h only

Unrelated,

but if you actually think anyone can infer the size of this panel in reality without any reference in the background of the picture, then it was just useless doing so.

I have 3x 550w jinko for my 12v 2kva inverter and on a regular charging I get 350w, I need to mention that I treat it like an egg, max load it takes is less than 150w, but I get up to 1.2kw input from the panels when I am blending during the day. I think some of these inverters behaves like ajebo when they don't have enough loads.
