To some of us, these prices are HIGH (because we probably saw it cheaper else where) yet we later come to wonder why ours ended up acting like placeHolders.

Suggestion: mayBe include the capacity range of system that should need this make person wey him setup too small or too big no go order.

Oga buy your 590w and use.

In my shop set up, I have two 550w, two 585w and two 590w (all Monofacial) connected in series and I don't have any issues at all.

Recently I wanted to add two more panels, I searched for 590w fouani no get, na so I buy 615w join am.

This is how it works.
In series, the same current pass through but different voltages. The smaller panels will limit the current of the flowing through the panels.

At the same current, the 590w panel will generate more watts than the 535w because it has higher voltage.


Though there will be a reduction in efficiency of the higher panels which I am OK with.

Okay thanks for much for your input

bassdow:
Are you sure those are LCDs ?

meanWhile, most LEDs (actually all) are very energy efficient. If you already own the TVs and you sure they're LCDs, no need having them replaced. Just adjust brightNess and see how far. Also the bigger the display, the more the consumption. Also have you considered the consumption of the games themselves. Your FANs also should all be DC.

If on Solar, you barely would have any issue during the day (Mornings till 4pm)

Can you recommend good DC ceiling fans?

pls how many ahs battery and inverter watt you dey use all these panels carry

House I need your help with information needed so I do not make mistakes a novice, that I am, would make. I want to install a solar electrical system for my game shop and I would like to hear what you'd recommend for this setup

Here are the contents of the shop. Note that the wattages I put there are all gotten from looking at the back stickers of each TV

Lg LCD 32 inches TV 140w *2
Samsung 32 inches led 56 watts *2
Samsung 32 inches lcd TV 110 watts *2
Samsung 15 inches lcd TV 40 Watts *4
PS2 fat 3pcs
PS3 super slim
PS3 slim 4 pcs
PS4 slim 2 pcs
Ps5 1 pc

There is an ox industrial 26 inches that I use right now and a plastic fan of 60w. I plan to get rid of both fans and get both DC ceiling fans and DC standing/wall fan so recommendations are welcome pls

All games do not operate at the same time, out of a total of 6 PS3, 2 PS4 and 1 ps5 only 6 can be operational simultaneously, although I plan to add one more 32 inches tV as time goes on which would eventually make the operational games seven in number

The gamehouse typically operates from 9am till around 11pm.


I called an installer to tell me what I'd need to do the installation for the shop and here's what he recommended I do for the setup



SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Jinko solar photovoltaic panels(615 watts)

ACCESSORIES AND OTHERS

1 DC BREAKER (32amps)
1 AC SURGE (500)
2 AC BREAKER (63amps)x2
1 DC BREAKER (63amps)
OTHERS:

Would this, assuming the items are all good quality, be ideal enough for the gamehouse?

Before you buy a new TV, please lower the backlight of your current LCD TVs and check the result. Your answer might be the best investment wise in the long run, 6 TVs no be joke

I'm yet to install the solar power system

jFrankNorfleet:
Can you recommend good DC ceiling fans?

NO as I got no DC Ceiling Fan. Possibly because I haven't seen a USEd one to buy yet as usual. Poor Me.

Duravolt 56", it's 26w
It's a very good product, I've been using it for 3 years now with no issues

@jFrankNorfleet, forgot to add you could turn a standing fan to Ceiling / wall fan.

At home, got more FANs than I need and a few that were occupying Space with not so good stands, I removed the stands and today 2 of them are wall Fans.

SheyBi if I hang am upSide down for Ceiling, e don turn Ceiling Fan ?

Be Creative, DIY + Improvisation is bae

hoover420:
Wow I just checked the Fouani website but they don’t have the 535 watt bifacial panel I wanted to order. Can I order the 590 watt bifacial panel they have, to compliment the single 535 watt panel I already installed? I’m confused, I don’t want to order for it then installer will say it cannot work with each other

just connect them on two different strings. 🤗

Interesting. Thanks for the tip

Paschal007:
I have similar challenge. I have 4 575w and I need 2 more. I have been waiting for them to have at least 585w. But 590w is not too bad. I have contemplated putting them on a separate charge controller but that's just expensive. I'll have to order it tomorrow.

just get a PV combination box and then connect to one CC.

Dabss:

2 different strings introduces it's own issues and that's aside extra costs BUT if said inverter supports more than 1 string, then you only bother about extra cable and accessory costs.

Which tip exactly?

Converting a standing fan into a ceiling fan? Advising you to put your self in danger? Is it the fire hazard waiting to happen or your fan motor self-destructing in a few months time?

The Onyibo that designed the motors for ceiling fans and the ones for standing fans, dem no geh sense?

Don’t you try that r***ish of converting a standing fan into a ceiling fan. Just stop at only the thought. Just stop there.

Replace your fan by buying a new one or take it to repairer to fix it for you (or you simply go to Arena). If you don’t have money to get a new solid fan and you stay in Lag, just go to Arena and buy yourself a used standing fan.

I believe you requested to know what brand of ceiling fan to get and someone proffered a popular brand already. Go for Lontor DC ceiling fans or popular brands that are common. These fans can never go bad (they can always be repaired) even if their power board or any component burns except if the motor is burnt.

You need understand the only way to know who's actually good both at their work and at managing clients is via hearing from previous customers themselves; BUT then, that can easily be abused especially online, and in a faceLess garthering.

There are lots of us that barely have rePeat customers. We catch them, suck as much as we could from them and expect they refer us or become rePeat clients.

First this list looks like it was copied via searchEngine.

Secondly, you failed to equally include the wattage of the Games themselves.

it also failed to specify the quantity of solar panels

Also except brand names are included, doubt we could do much vetting of the accessories you shared which even don't seem to have enough information to be sure it's for the rated load.

meanWhile, shouldn't you try to keep costs low or you sure you would recoup the costs of all these within 2-years from said business? Just wondering.

Couldn't respond yesterday because I thought others would have done so by now.

jFrankNorfleet:
House, please

How many number of 615w panels?

Go for direct 16 or 15kwh battery

And also the installer need to list the size of cable to be used and also the size of the breakers

Installers dey try sha, some installation are very risky

repeat clients is a sign of bad work. Sucking clients can make them angry and swear.

Are you saying you have NOT a good job for someone in this group that can recommend you?

Guess you meant No rePeat Clients is sign of bad work.

Either way, You need understand not everyOne sleeps on this thread. A lot actually got here via search engine and the moment they get their project done, the need for the thread becomes noneExistent.

myself often is here because I tend to unWind on nairaland + following mentions and the likes + me sef sometimes want to see argument to argue with.

But that doesn't mean there ain't a few on this thread at least once in a while I see them. No worry; client no dey too stress themselves until you do bad work wey you no resolve to some acceptable standard.

Funny enough, a lot of times, I don't even know their nairaland handles except they tell me and I took note else I treat everyone alike.

Now let me ask: Are you looking for one to assist you handle your project ?

if Yes, there are at least 2 people one of which POSTs pictures in here as proof. Why not start with those first.

Don't forget, if to say deal no go bad, we for no hear some things in here so no worry. In business; don't 4kUp and if you do, resolve it so the client doesn't remain unHappy. na where people dey mess up be that.
Mind you, there also are clients that just ain't human enough.

Thanks

Try and find out their power ratings though for better recommendations.

but they have given quotes now ….10kwh battery won’t be enough to carry everything from 5pm to 11pm…cause all these loads can hit 3000w or more…..even if you think you won’t put on everything at once,,some days you will like December or holiday periods…I operate a game house/viewing center too
