3.6kw about 98% efficiency, bificial is still good on roof top especially if it is a reflective roof
Nice one, meanwhile this is from 6pcs of Era 585w panels

This is my first time seeing an abusive post on this thread. This goes to show how pained you are about someone reminding you of who you are.

Always remember in whatever you do (in a faceless forum or real-life) that, a good name is better than silver and gold (400k in this case). If your name cast, forget it, e don cast.

Take this advice from someone you call a f00lish person, oh you wise man.
Pained?...well, like you said it's a faceless forum. So you probably don't have anything to do with your time.

We will all be fine.

Just stay off my mention for Pete's sake ok? 😊

Seriously, I see no issue with the word being used. You see eh, atimes it kinda frustrating when people leave out basic information while seeking assistance.

A times, Me just remind mySelf if they knew better, they wouldn't be willing to give us their hard earned money.

BUT still, using that word "useLess" actually helps throw more light than whatEver [fake] politeNess you choose to use.

na we Africans sabi claim Polite; Oyinbo wey we dey claim to copy would call it what it is.
If you see no issue with the choice of words, then that's fine. But for me, it could have passed across in a better way. And like I said, the interlocking stones are more than enough reference for size.

How good is the anern inverter?
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Litewriter: 3:34pm On Apr 04
Boss, any improvement on power generation from the panel? How well does it charge ya battery? Also planning to get single 590w panel, just wanna have the idea of what I should be expecting.
Thanks

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

It is okay, been using it since last year and I have installed ones that have been in service for 2yrs plus, mine is hexon but looks like the OEM is Anern

The inverter has adjustable voltage settings.Thats icell inverter
Yes, I saw the small deep switches at the back one is for halving the charger current, while one is for deep discharge from 21v to 20v. I never saw any switch indicated for lithium battery setting

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Gshems: 6:34pm On Apr 04
That jinko Na bàbà. I saw 1.05kw from 2 535w panels. My only regret is that my landlord roof Na all those slant roof. Anytime from 4:30pm my solar panel no dey see sun again. But my battery is always full before 1pm even on cloudy days.

7 pieces of 535watt jinko panel place on stone coated roofing sheet

Well it is not really charging my battery very fast. I do compliment it with grid. They said I’ll have to get one more before it can charge fast, meanwhile Grid is charging it in less than 4hrs…Also, it’s been cloudy and raining since I got it so I haven’t seen the full potential of the panel yet. The highest I have seen since I got it is 330w and it fluctuates between 100 & 250 most of the time

My people I greet the house, I need experience opinion please. I already have 5kva hybrid inverter now I want to add a very heavy load about 7000watts (Ac) should I double the inverter in parallel since it supports that or should I just go for another 10kva inverter or should I just fix my 8kva transformer inverter that is bad ? Anyone have experience on reliability of paralleling 2 inverters
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by WhiteAngels001(m): 9:48pm On Apr 04
Good evening my bosses
Please I need quotation of a complete solar system with 2kwh lithium battery, a growatt inverter and a jinko panel.
I heard it's a better setup than the trendy solar generators. I'd appreciate your view as well

We still need know your load Sir / ma

List out your loads.

for a load of 7kw, fixing your 8kva transformer based inverter wouldn't make much sense because you go spoil am again since difference between the 8kva inverter and the load no far at all.

Buying another 10kva inverter also doesn't make much sense as you just end up spending more money without enjoying any form of redundancy.

What I would suggest is buying another 5kva inverter of same model as what you currently using and parallel them

if you must buy a brand new inverter, don't buy 10kva, buy something much larger e.g 12kva.

So now, it's left for you to decide which is cheaper - buying a new inverter of say 12kva or geting another identical 5kva inverter and parallel it with your existing setUp

Honestly, if I were in your shoes, I would buy the 10kva or 12kva inverter and be done with it. it's kinda CHEAPer than paralleling 2 inverters

These things ought to have been concluded upon before making purchases.

Also, smaller panels often give more power than fewer big panels e.g 2pcs of 350w halfCut mono solar panel would give more output than single 1pcs of 700w halfCut mono solar panel.

That also gives room to make configurations. e get work wey we just handled, was forced to do 2s3p yet the limit of the inverter was very close. Such wouldn't occur had the panels been smaller sized ones.

Major advantage of the bigger panels is they appear very little bit CHEAPer but that's if you don't press calculator well

@micxwell Follow this. Nothing else to add though that extra 200,000 naira fit no reach especially if distance from roof far and na cooper cable you go for.
Hello bro. Happy Easter Celebrations to y'all. I want to ask if 6mm dc cable is okay, I live downstairs and by my estimate I'll need close to 30m. Is 6mm dc able okay or I should go for 10mm.

Hello everyone. With a 6kw deye inverter with 2 PV input. Can I do 3s on pv1 and another 3s on PV 2 with 550 watt bifacial panels mounted on the roof. Note the landlord won't permit more panels

Actually, you must not use both PV inputs. You could use just 1 except using a single one wold exceed the max PV input of the inverter.
Don't forget, using both PV inputs is similar to running two sets of solar installations as you need extra PV cables, breakers, etc.

Also insituations such as this, using 600w or 650w solar panels becomes an advantage since Oga landLord dey count panels.

if it help, get started while Oga landlord no dey so He doesn't get to see them all BECAUSE him FIT SHOCK if HE SEEs HOW BIG AND WIDE those panels are. Since 2 of una dey same compound, you suppose don know him movement hence should know whether to start very early in the morning or late in evening and finish up the next morning.
