Don’t waist your money or time, in the first place you don’t have a problem not to talk of solution, even if you call installer to come and change the configuration it will be the same thing because that’s the way it is hehehe except you have money to upgrade the panels to much higher watts, longi 615watts or jinko 595watts upward. Good luck
he definitely has a problem, you people should stop typing rubbish with the frog knowledge that you have.

I still stand to be corrected that the best panels for me are 400-500w panels.

These are 4pcs of 400w panels at 11am.

If for 4pcs can do this, I'm sure as hell 6pcs will hit 2kw and above.

So stop saying rubbish that his setup doesn't have an issue.

Good afternoon everyone, please I need solution to this my little problem..I have 6 450w solar panels on my roof which consist of 3 halfcut and 3 straight panels. The highest I have got during the peak hours is 1.5kw buh I think I should be getting more.. I guess the straight cut solar panels are the ones restricting the performance of the halfcut ones buh I may be wrong?....
Please,gurus in the house kindly help out?
you should have gotten them all halfcut, even if they are slightly different watts but same halfcut mono.

halfcut panels always have higher voltages and perform very well with high voltage inverters and MPPT CCs.

I bought them separately... I was using the full cell panels initially and I now bought 3 more halfcell panel....so I want to remove the full cells panels now and install another 3 halfcell panels.... someone told me about Qcell panels and I want to test it to see how it goes

Why does that inverter look smaller and sell at a lower price compared to their 5KW hybrid EU version?
The Deye SUN-5K-SG05LP1-EU is better suited for tough environments, dusty, humid, or harsh locations, because it's more enclosed. The Deye SUN-6K-OG01LP1-EU-AM2 has open vents that suck in dust over time, which can damage the internal circuit board if not cleaned regularly.

A standout advantage of the Deye SUN-5K-SG05LP1-EU is that it can feed surplus power back into the grid, something the Deye SUN-6K-OG01LP1-EU-AM2 simply cannot do. Though this feature, which is awesome outside Nigeria, is basically useless here as we no get smartgrid.

The Deye SUN-5K-SG05LP1-EU also switches power faster, in just 4 milliseconds compared to the Deye SUN-6K-OG01LP1-EU-AM2's 10 milliseconds, meaning appliances experience less interruption during a power switch.

That said, the Deye SUN-6K-OG01LP1-EU-AM2 has its own strengths: it handles significantly more solar panel input (9,600W vs 6,500W), making it better for larger solar arrays. It also costs less, which can be a decisive factor for budget-conscious buyers.

Bottom line: The Deye SUN-5K-SG05LP1-EU wins on environment tolerance, grid export capability, and switching speed. The Deye SUN-6K-OG01LP1-EU-AM2 wins on solar input capacity and price.

Thanks for this explanation. I haven't really taken time to see the specs of the 6KW version but I see the size and the price all over social media.

Deye inverter is pretty rugged. But they usually sensitive when it comes accepting charge from grid. So make sure you're going fully offgrid

it's just strict settings which you can change to your preference on the inverter.

Am having this challenge, I have 3 420w full cell all connected in series yet I haven't seen 700w before, I thought it was due to LA Batteries I was using then,but now even after installing lithium battery I still haven't hit up to 600w. Now am planning on getting 3 jinko pannels of 590-625 and selling off the full cells. Cuz I bought them as foreign used

full cells are an older technology of solar panels. They were used for more of parallel connections.

Get halfcut panels if you're doing series connections.

The problem is not the inverter but the purity of the AC going into it. The usual way of passing grid to inverter is to first ensure correct range of say 170-240V. This can be done using some of these digital voltage/current limiters. Then pass the grid to an appropriately sized servo AVR before hitting the inverter. Not forgetting to use and appropriately connect SPDs. You can hardly go wrong in this way.

This solar wahala no the finish

prince4pro2:

E dey actually finish but the problem is a copy and paste of another person's set up. Factors like:

Location e.g The sunlight of Lagos and Ogun state is different o. Ogun weather different die.

Roof orientation : Nothing beat almost flat roof. While this may require just 2 panels to produce decent watt, a steep roof may require 4 to 6 to generate same energy.

The position of your building itself in relation to direction of sunlight matters. For example, I receive sunlight from 8am to 7pm daily from my location and position.

Roof itself e.g aluminium, stone coated, asbestos, car port etc.. These will give different yield due to level of heat generated by them.

First we told you already that with such mixture, not to expect good harvest except their specs matched closely which is rare in your case.

Would have suggested 3S2P but that wouldn't work since you doing high voltage setUp.

Also don't know much about qCell but there are other solar panel brands some of which also are even Tier 1. Tongwei, Znshine, Yingli, or even Restar though it's the least among the list.

it's good thing you have also said something about Ogun state's weather. All these while only me dey talk about am, dem fit think say I dey carryTalk.

Also person wey talk say solar wahala no dey finish obviously didn't do things completely else e no go talk like so.

As for flat roofs, issue be say ogun state seems to have more bungalows than upStairs and those flat roofs don't look good on bungalows make person hosue no go resemble shop.

if buying any brand new solar panel, kindly ensure they're at least 620w especially if buying from the Tier 1 brands.

Normally I suggest used solar panels but lately, the prices no longer encouraging when compared to brand new ones.

Another is, Are you sure the solar panels are the issue ?

How did you do your testing to comclude it's not generating up to 700w ? Don't forget charge controllers / hybrid inverters generally only display what they collecting, not what the solar panels are generating.

Have always advocated for halfCut cells BUT that also doesn't mean the non halfCut cells are useLess. Don't be quick to spend money.

tell us your inverter and if it's hybrid, share with us it's sticker, also the external charge controller's sticker if that's what you using. Also type of battery and it's voltage and capacity. Let's not question state of the solar panels yet.

You will just open your mouth wah and be vomiting rubbish, go and help him change the configuration if it gets to that 2kw I will give you 20k Naira. Nonsense.. bros abeg just go ahead and get good half cut panels don’t waist your time looking for solution to nothing

Flat roofs are easy to get leakAges if not properly done and trust me when I tell you a lot ain't.

Another is, when Such roofs are not done with Slate, then chances of leakAges is high after one climbs there. Let's be honest with ourselves. Yea we could say professional this and that BUT truth remains that a lot of those flat roofs are not properly done hence any slight pressure means a portion could be flat ennough to retain moisture (morning dues / rain) hence sooner or later result in leakAges.

There's one we saw that had a pool of water on it despite the fact it rained over 7 hours earlier.

Another thing is, I often suggest to people not to bother removing solar installation rails when uninstalling solar panels as chances of the roof actually leaking after that is very very very high except the person handling the project is really very intentional.
