Like joining the red wire of the inverter to the red wire of the battery as this one no get terminal head , although I never unpacked am full cuz I never reach house, but from what I see I just the reason the connection. For instance if to say na hybrid I go just connect battery straight to inverter, but now I get inverter and cc to connect to the battery. Hope u understand boss

First get home and get settled. No worry, we understand.

Then it's always RED (+ve) of inverter goes to POSITIVE (+ve) of battery. Then BLACK (-ve) of inverter goes to NEGATIVE (-ve) of battery.

Since you using external Charge controller, the +ve of the charge controller also goes to the POSITIVE (+ve) of the battery, while the -ve of the charge controller also goes to NEGATIVE (-ve) of the battery.

Hopefully said battery came with battery cables else you would need purchase appropriate cables. Don't use just any cable Ooo.

Hopefully your external charge controller is the type that autoSelects battery voltage. Most are, BUT still it's worth mentioning as there are those that ain't e.g the first time I connected my FangPuSun controller, glad I was quick to hear the sound of boiling inside the dryCell battery and my curiousity quickly kicked in to realize it doesn't autoSelect.

My itel 2.5khw just arrived . Guys hope I can use without charging or do I need to wait and charge fist? Cuz the thing just enter this evening. Is dam heavy!

It's not heavy. Go and try 16kwh batteries, you'll understand the meaning of "damn"

No p tomorrow I go explain very well . U never understand me well. Instead of going to the battery positive can I slave from the cable direct to the inverter instead of taken from the batry terminal as this one get as e be. I go use picture explain in the morning. Thanks

Guys please is this panel up to 300w before I go buy 4 pieces….im skeptical about it..The sticker shows 300w

Na this kind panel I take start. This panel na usually 180-200w. Na 300-350w sticker the normally use on them na wash

bassdow:
According to you, you have

2pcs of 550w = 1,100w,
2pcs of 585w = 1,170w
2pcs of 590w = 1,180w
2pcs of 615w = 1,230w

Total Power expected = Approximately 4,680w
Actual Power harvested = Approximately 2,800w

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
Growatts 6kva solar inverter

Growatts battery (5.5 kW/h x2)

Jinko solar photovoltaic panels(615 watts)

ACCESSORIES AND OTHERS
1 DC SURGE (500)
1 DC BREAKER (32amps)
1 AC SURGE (500)
2 AC BREAKER (63amps)x2
1 DC BREAKER (63amps)
OTHERS:
18 way breaker box
4 way breaker box
Knife switch change over
Trunking pipe(50x50)x3
Photovoltaic panels rails(x3)
Photovoltaic panels bot 'n' screws(14)
Solar connector /MC 4 plug(2)
CABLES:
photovoltaic panels DC cable (17 meter)
AC CABLE (input) (16 meter)
AC CABLE (output) (16 meter)


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

What is the total cost of this setup?
It suits my home plan.

The sketch you made is basically same thing I said. Difference is you TAPPed from mid-section of the battery wire instead of the battery head.

Would say it would work BUT not good enough as the Connection wouldn't be as TIGHT as if on the battery's head. Normally we use Busbar but not everyOne can afford such for small setUps.

Having a dedicated cable and adding it to the battery Screw head ensures it's very TIGHT enough.

Once again, what you drew would work BUT not adviced. mayBe if you tell us your reasons, we might be able to suggest solution(s)

The battery head of that itel battery is not bolt and screw, it is more of socket and plug. That is what he’s try to say

Bryanluke:
I couldn't find any source here to ask

I saw you asked in some of them already before even coming here to ask. In sensible forums, what You did is termed crossPosting which is an offence.

Also they already gave you many responses YET you said You got no one to ask.

You expect One to sell to you a simCard registered with their NIN and other details ba ?

Why exactly are you avoiding buying directly or could it be you misPlaced your simCard and don't wanna buy the entire setUp again, if that's the case, I believe their customerCare should be able to help you out one way or the other or at least give information.

Rather than TRYing to say it, attach clear pictures.

But without even waiting for pictures, would suggest you get someone who's comfortable with things like this or follow our lead.

First you got at least 2 Options:

OPTION 1:
Since the battery hehad doesn't use Bolt and Nut, kukuma connect the inverter's cables to the charge controller terminals. Just twist them together firstly, before inserting innto the terminal blocks hole before TIGHTening.

OPTION 2:
Buy long Bolt and Nut + washer. Ensure the bolts are at least 2-inches long. Also every bolt and Nut should have 2 washers.

Now connect the first end of the cable to the inverter. For the other end, attach a screw onto it and ensure it still got enough portion left.

Now take a section of the battery's cable and peel off the rubber protector a little, you see the flexible wires inside, divide them into 2 parts (still don't cut), just divide them, then pass the bolt (alreadying containing the waire coming from inverter) at the center, add washer and tightening with NUT.

After doing that, use enough Black tape to ensure everything is properly covered.

Would have done a SKETCH but just too lazy.

Exactly my point

I have panels I want to sell, I just upgraded and it less than 6 months.

Guys can 3khw sarchet inverter of 1.5khw continues power carry this cooker? Abeg I won knw b4 I order

It will work when you use the pressure cooker settings. It is automatic(1000w) but it's actually not up to that on the meter. Then you can quickly press the function button to set it on steam. Steam function is 1000w and it can be adjusted down to 200w. The downside is that it has an automatic timer that is not that useful.
Aside the two functions, your inverter will switch off. I use the pressure cooker settings mostly.

This is highly impressive. I have
2 x 550w jinko
2 x 575 ja solar
Max I get is 1.5kw
Normal 1.3kw

I always felt it should generate more. When I add the extra 2 590w, it might get to 2.1kw. Not good enough I suppose

Gshems:
Can I use haisic 4kw 12v battery for this? I no mind to get a 12v 3000w sachet inverter just for the usage. I currently use bread 1500w

chief, your setup will carry the dayo cooker without issues.

Infact the highest I use is 1000w for cooking fresh foods and 600w for warming. And these watts are what's showing on the cooker not the actual consumption watts on the inverter.

It's around 200w lower between the cooker and inverter.

This also would work. Either way, just ensure to keep cables as SHORT as possible
