What brand of inverter you use??

hoover420:
Quick question pls, is it because of the high wattage of the panels or can I just sell off the panels and get smaller ones like 250 watts X 4 Will it work with the inverter or the inverter is just too small to carry any panel above 500watt? Cos tbh, the 535 watt I installed is working perfectly.

Pabodo:
The TV is used from 10am upto 10pm. The stated loads apart from light are basically used throughout the day as this are parents that are

always home. Though good management can also be adopted.

Fridge used from about 9am to 4/5pm

bassdow:
Please do not sell off those solar panels. If you must sell off anything, let it be the inverter. Selling off the bigger solar panels (obviously at a loss) only to purchase 250w is what only Nigerian gunMent would do. I presume you ain't that silly.

Mistakes has been made already. Try not to further complicate things.

Also you said you asked and even we in here gave you suggestions. Hopefully we're learning so we know to ensure we don't misLead people because at end of the day, making such mistakes which obviously leads to wastage of funds defeats the purpose of coming here to begin with.

Gshems:
Baba abeg no sell those panels. If you want to sell anything it has to be that inverter. Sell it and go for bread 1.5kva. That beast can generate up to 2000w from solar. You can even use 4 panels on the bread

bassdow:
Okay
Now kindly contact both mrReed and Valto and ask for their prices for 24v 8kwh and 5kwh batteries. Also ask the prices of those that have communication support and those that doesn't.

That way, we expect you report back with about 4 prices or maybe even 5 or 6 different prices if we're to consider those with wooden body.

Kindly notify us when you done with that EXCEPT you already have a prefered alternate sources. Except I am buying batteries, me no dey too like recommend.

We need know that price first before going any further.

Anyone pls

hoover420:
Thanks, I think I’ll keep the panels and sell the inverter then. That Bread inverter, where can I get it cos I don’t think it is on Jumia, cd care or Konga

Guys, I don’t understand my installer, but I don’t want to be too forward since it’s not my area of expertise.


I got the Jinko 585-watt panel to complement the single 535-watt I installed for my Haisic 1.5kVA inverter because I also use grid to charge it. Now the installer is telling me it can’t work directly and that I’ll have to buy an MPPT for it to work.
Even before I got the 585 watt, I asked several people here and they said I could install it, but it might not be effective. However, this installer is telling me my inverter is too small and that it can’t accept any extra panel without an MPPT controller of 100A. Meanwhile this is the same guy that installed my setup initially.

The picture of the panel & inverter is below.

To some extent his correct sah.. If i were you, I will listen to him.. This both will almost hit 100v and your inverter is cap at 100v I have once connected 46x3 to felicity 60a cc and in the afternoon it stated showing error with that their red blinking light... You might be luck it never move over the 100v bur that will be you taking da risk.

Fouani currently listing Deye 6kw for 547700 on their website for those interested.

eghos12:
Bro confirm if your panels can even reach 50v before you buy the charge controller. Because I never seen a jinko panel reading 50v and above. Also shading can be applied to the panel to reduce the voltage

fuckboys:
this haisic 12v inverter has a pwm cc inside.

You should have gone with Sako or bread Inverter, they have 500vdv mppt cc.

You are allowing a lot of assumptions to spoil your day. What you need ARE REAL LIFE DATA FROM YOUR SYSTEM and not some presumptions. Spend some time over the next few days to monitor your inverter checking the panel voltage. How close to the values in the sticker or expected are you getting? Now multiply the highest panel voltage you saw by 2 and see how close it will be to 100v.
If you get less than 80v you are extremely good to go. Quietly ask your installer to connect the panels in SERIES and enjoy life.
If you get 80-90v ( I really doubt you will get that sha, in the picture you uploaded earlier I saw 35.4v, multiple by 2 will give you 70.8v) I will still advise you to connect by panels in SERIES. You have some headroom enough.
BUT If you get greater than 90v, keep the second panel for now and plan to upgrade later.

Ezimuoh:
The highest voltage he will get if both are connected in series is 95v

jstemmanex:
I think I'm ready to let go of this for 80k. I initially kept it a backup.

Only issue is I don't have the manual so I'm unable to change the alarm type. When the voltage drops to the low voltage setting, the alarm starts

Omoh Solar setup just cost more and more money. This is just a 12v system and I have already spent way more than I imagined. When I wanted to get the Haisic 1.5kva & 3.6kwh battery, no one told me I’ll still need an MPPT for just 2 panels but lesson learnt . There is absolutely no advantage of using a 12v system if you’ll still have to use MPPT that cost money. Now I can see myself spending another reasonable sum just to charge battery while still spending close to 25k every month on electricity (prepaid).
Anyways my location is mainland Lagos and I’ll be interested in the USED 80A MPPT you have for sale. Thank you!

I have a Felicity 60A charge controller.

How come it's cheaper than 6kw growatt?

hoover420:
Thank you so much for your input

Fremlin:
Instead of selling those panels, sell the inverter at a little loss and get bread inverter

The bread inverter is not sold in Jumia, Konga or CDcare. Any idea where I can get it?

The manual is available online
