Nothing will spoil if we explain the difference between sachet and hybrid inverter power differences to people.
Experts can be arrogant at times.
A lot of times, so called EXPERTs are very arrogant. unfortunately, me sef follow for expert; just not arrogant THOUGH when you deal with enough people, you would understand a lot of them deserves such attitude

Lols. See Valto o. You Dey shalaye?

You really get time for that ITK. Nor mind that guy.
A lot of times, we deserve the sort of LEADERs we have. No much wrong in what the guy said. Who knows, He just might have bought an inverter based on the numbers only to realize otherWise.

Normally, those 2 crucial numbers ought be stated. Then it's left for the potential client to ask difference between both while showing interest.

Yesterday, I called a seller because a potential client needed an inverter with specific requirements which I don't have such for now, I called someone, ask and this person boldy said the inverter they showed me has those things.

One thing about me be say rarely would I give the hint I know what wire looks like, let alone what's called battery. na so e speak and reAssure me tire and me was just following along. I still stylishly asked He confirm as I don't wanna make mistake and He keep blabing. Elderly matured human for that matter.

I sha later left without informing Him I caught his TRUTHs.

Now you call him iTk, possibly because you happen to know that, what about those you don't know ?

Interestingly, there are so called professionals who knows nothing about powerFactor and how it works and even how to derive it when not stated.
At end of the day, no one knows it all.

Also, I really wouldn't blame the advertiser because if you talk TRUTH too much in marketing, you go dey loose customers / clients. I know this first hand BUT then again, I'm used to doing things even if I see the downSides. At least those who stuck with me knows what they signed up for.

Why PWM and not MPPT

Also when you say "BEST" , hope you're aware that word is relative. Either way, let me respond accordingly, buy from the likes of morningStar, epEver, etc. They have good PWM charge controllers
do you have picture i can show seller to get the best to use for my lithium battery since I can only afford Pwm for now

There's a big difference between asking for knowledge on something you don't know about and raising alarm with so much confidence.

That guy came with arrogance accusing Valto of false advertising and writing full page on something he has no idea about. Tomorrow someone with no idea of power factor of inverters will also come and educate us on why 4.2kva is false advertising as it's not up to 4.2kw. It's annoying.

I don't sell such BUT you sef is confusing.

You want BEST PWM Charge contorller yet you sounding low on budget.

Bros / Sis, see eh, depending on capacity, you could get anyOne from 7,000 naira and above depending on capacity.

The brands I mentioned ain't for the weak

Most times, you still would end up going for MPPT.

Bryanluke:

No need of pictures, which I don't have. Just tell him / her you wanna buy PWM charge controller.

In fact when you say just charge contorller, the price alone would do the picking.

Cost for Quality ones would buy you good enough average MPPT charge controller.

I don’t even know what to tell you Bro.

You just want to comment or what exactly?

If you can’t process the motive behind his question, then we can’t have a decent conversation.

I don’t need to be an expert to understand the motive or psychology behind a very stiupeeed and unwarranted question.

He is actually doing what is right. As a business man, he should be willing to answer inquiries politely and give full explanations on his products when asked about it. Respect for doing that

Also, I don't see anything wrong in the questions by @adrusa. I, for example never knew that sachet inverters are usually rated at peak capacity. What if I chose to recommend it to a friend or family member who does not have the funds to get a normal inverter? Not knowing that the rating was probably less than half of the advertised rating.

We need to stop this habit of attacking people who try to ask questions about the local sellers in this platform.

Once again, respect to Mr Valto for responding politely and answering all questions. At least, now I have learnt something today

I don't know if my response is still needed but will drop all the same.

I have bought a unit from them and paid before pickup. I didn't pickup myself, but rather had a regular dispatch guy on bolt do the pickup for me.

I told him what I wanted him to pickup and that he will need to snap the battery before he leaves.

It went well. And I've since installed the battery.

No complaint so far.

I like that they use a BMS with Bluetooth too.

Cheers.
What brand of BMS do they use?.Also considering buying from them but I have been skeptical.They claim they use brand new Grade A cells though

Also we all can't have certain knowledge hence reason we pay others to do so for us.
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by osayuwamwen(m): 10:09am On May 30
I understand how you feel, next time do proper research before buying anything, nor buy stuffs because 1 or 2 person's recommend or tell you to, beside lithium battery price are becoming cheaper these days, cheap nor mean low quality or fake capacity, many lithium batteries are even more than the stated capacity, if your battery complete then enjoy

Guys, Please what are your take on this:

So i have been following this tread for some time and from poplular recommendations to others , I was convinced and then I ordered and received a 3.2kwh battery from a buider on this forum. The delivery was fast, no delays. Although the set did not come with any accessories, no baterries cable etc . This was as stated by the builder. ....(only the battery box in a plastic build with a small bms screen and a button). All as advertised. So no issues there. This setup cost #550k (delivery inclusive). All i got in addition was the waybill receipt

The truth is, my friend who ordered for a 26.5v(100Ah) itel 2.5kwh battery, received theirs yesterday:
To my supprise, the itel battery Bank alone was 2.5 to 3 times heavier than mine, the setup was built in a solid steel housing case, has 3 internet communication ports, and 3 other advanced looking ports. Came with ALL the comm ports cables, also came with two 20 mm solid +/- battery cables , 3 year warrenty card, thick steel wall brackets, metallic wall screws, some addtional bolts and nuts and many more.
And all this cost #481k (including delivery fee).

Now I know why people crave the itel battery pack.

Although I have to say I over expected much for mine, but the person i bought mine from did not give me the kind of attention(as a first time customer as i would have wanted) the response sometimes was quite slow (had to literally push for any information with response coming anything it comes) no step by step on how to do much. I had to ask about value to set for bulk and float etc, Had to push and ask or most times google some stuff on my own. (I am not saying the seller did anything wrong o) but sincerly I dont think I may patronise the person in the future.I like my business partners to be approacheable irrespective of the value or amount involved in the trade......(my choice)

So, the itel on the other had virtually a full hands on manual that explains EVERYTHING you can do, clearly defined warranty card and many more quality of life stuffs you know.....

Although, I for one became a bit skeptical about the build i received (when i recall the itel heavy weight and quality) but everytime i checked the jk bms app, i showed all the cells adds up to 3.2kwh (see image). Even still, my mind still tells me I should have gone with the Itel due to its solid built, wall handing capability, solid customer and aftersales support, the quality of work and support it has.
(I thought going for "3.2kwh" was better than "2.5kwh" so i had to stop my initial itel order for the local build).

Its well sha


Forgive me for my long epistle...Just wanted to air my thoughts man.

Baba, some of us don abuse this forum no matter how it is painted. We just fully wait for one person to say do this and that when it is fully glary. These are adults that possess and operate smart phones. Free premium knowledge is fully here yet we won't see it.

I don't think we should assume that all sachet buyers know that the inverters are rated at their peak power. As a user, if not for this forum, I believed that all inverters were rated at their continuous power.
That is why I am afraid of installers - they are used to not telling clients the truth about many things.
Users want to know things like peak power, continuous power, SOC, etc. These things help you to manage your installation well.
My two cents.
Clients are not really interested in knowing all this stuffs.

Explaining lot of technical stuffs makes the whole process look complicated, and customer don't want to know all those stuff

undecided.
I don't know what to say about them.

But then, some clients are difficult to work with.

You can give a recommendation from experience and they will say you do it otherwise.

Cases like this as an installer, I won't be expecting you ask me questions over that particular subject.

What do you want to hear embarassed?

Hello house. I have a 6kw deye hybrid inverter the plastic body that's trending. Anyways the PV port seems to be outputting AC current somehow. If you put your tester in the port it illuminates and if you connect the PV breaker to the SPD and then earth the SPD my inverter and appliances will be shocking. How can I solve this . Is the inverter having factory issues?
Is the houSe earthing done properly? Start from there
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by mctfopt: 12:38pm On May 31
There are satchet inverters out there whose rated power is what you get. It just cost higher. A friend has a 5500w type which he uses to weld. You get what you pay for.
