The 340watts panels are rather steeply priced on here. If you own them, you can put it on your profile that you use Solar World, a premium 'made in Germany' panel

People will see it and be green with envy and be in awe of your solar greatness.

So the upgrade/expansion bug bit me and I helped myself to an additional 12 units of 300w Canadian Solar Panels out of the 'for sale' inventory I carry. So I now have a 11Kw PV array to play with but need roof space to mount.

I want to sell off my 300w Flames panels to anyone who is interested - I will only sell 12 units at a go please and I'm open to all reasonable offers.

I tried so hard to resist this temptation o but in the end I succumbed.

I still carry brand new Canadian Solar 300w modules at a good price - 52K apiece

@nonoski, what are the cons of the outback flexman, what should a potential buyer beware of?, have you used another tier 1 cc, like morning star, how does the outback compare against them?

Dam5reey:


900 watts mono is just 156K
Then why should one but 680 watts mono for 160k ?

Other than the loud fan noise I doubt there's any cons for the Outback. It's been that way for 13months with no human interference needed.

I also have a Fangpusun flexmax 60A mounted in same vicinity with 2kw solar array but the output is slightly less than the Outback, if u add the cumulative output then I will go with Outback.

I also have a Victron 250/100 mounted in my village house, that one is a class on its own.
I monitor its output every day remotely

nonoski:

Well with tym u get use to the noise.
I have 2 Outback CC and a 5kva Must power inverter
Imagine the noise when they all come on at almost same time.

The fans usually come on when the there's a sharp increase in pv output or when the pv output is high. In fact I use the noise of the fan to know when the sun is at full blast

Barezzi:
Hehehehe... I had the Outback Flexmax 60 several moons ago. The unit worked for some months, then one day it refused to wake up.
I checked, double checked, triple checked!
Blazing sun, yet the unit refused to wake up. I went online, no luck.
In frustration, i took a hammer to put it out of it's misery...

Long story short, i bought it's Chinese clone. Fangpusun 60A.
That one was reading 62A max current instead of clamping at 60A

I got rid of it and purchased the Midnite Classic, now Victron SmartSolar

adrusa:
Hello my people,
Does anyone who has used outback FM 60 or 80 has any experience with Fangpusun clones? I have a setup with an Outback FM80 and a Midnite Classic 150. Sometimes, either of the CC go into float while one is still in bulk. So, I'm tempted to buy another outback hoping that two outbacks will work together better. But, I was wondering if I should buy the cheaper Fangpusun since they appear to be 1:1 clone of outback. Any thoughts is appreciated.

Anybody is into solar water heater here?

Happy new month to us all.
I need some guidance on sizing of solar panel.
I have a 1kva inverter and a 12v 100ah gel battery which i use to power my outdoor sliding gate machine.
Due to poor power supply to charge the inverter , i want to incorporate a solar panel to charge this battery.
What size of panel should i go for that can convienently charge this battery?

DUNKA:

Thanks earthrealm, I would go with the single 250 or 300watt.
But i have this spare esmart3 60amps MPPT (12v/24/36/48v) which i plan to use it with. I just hope its not too much for it

whats the consumption of your gate in watts?.
incase you cant tell simply buy 2 or 3 100w x 12v panels, and a 30amp pwm charge controller, or a single 250w or 300w panel and a 20amps or 30amps mppt charge controller. any of the above should fully charge a 100ah battery daily

Gd morning, pls I need urgent professional advice. Am buying my RE equipments gradually as I don't have money to buy at once. I have Luminous 24v inverter I used B4 I lost my batteries after 2 yrs. I have a brand new Must Power EP3000 Inverter. I intend using 6 pieces of 250w poly panels in Abuja(I haven't bought).My problem is I intend buying Charge Controller this month, and an installer near me said I must buy a Controller with Max array of 1500 watts and 110-120v. I don't know of any of Epever, fangpusun etc that have this spec. My initial plan was to buy mppt of 40A. Is this installer getting it wrong?.PLS ADVICE NEWBIE ON THE AFFORDABLE CC TO BUY.
