Hi, I'm new to this and trying to research as much as I can about solar systems so I can get a good system that will serve me well.

From what I've researched about LiFePo4, a 50ah lifepo4 battery should be equivalent to a 100 ah lead battery since those only have about 50% usable capacity.

If so this makes Lifepo4 batteries have the same price as lead acid for the same usable watt-hours.



True usually, and that applies for good LFP because it seems some marketers are pushing substandard LFPs into the market now that renewables are gravitating to it.

And yes the price is usually in the same range.

A 12v 40ah LFP is around 57k, 12v 60ah around 80k, 12v 100ah around 110k, 12v 120ah around 155k.

Good Pb-acid batteries are in that same price range for double the AH.

Ojeysky uses 24v LFP so he'll be in the best position to give you how much he procured his monster pack.

Hey guys, I want to go totally off grid

But I guess it’s not all possible

Because in my current setup, PHCN light from the mains charges my inverter

But now, we have not had light in my area for over 24 hours

Does that mean once my inverter battery runs out, I’ll be in total blackout ? Since it’s the Nepa light that is charging the inverter

Is there anyway my installer can reconnect the setup in a way that the Solar panels charges the inverter too?

Thanks

Hmm... good morning sir

Please note that Inverters are not for storage of power, they only convert dc voltage or Battery voltage if you may to AC ( normal electricity if you may).


So once your battery is used up, that’s all, all required is a recharge.

It’s more like saying after your phone battery is used up, is there a way to charge the phone to make sure you have more backup time, no, you can only charge a phone battery not the phone in particular.

I think you've done justice to the question. My pack was 450k which is the equivalent price for 4 12v quanta batteries. However I still get space, cycle and charge/discharge rate advantage with LFP

You can connect solar panels to charge controller to charge your batteries.

What does your setup entail? Just inverter and batteries or you have solar panels and a charge controller?
You can add pictures.

The answer is Yes, you can. Most CC start at 12/24/ etc

Open the CC Manual and read for your self, if you have any doubt.

He didn't tell the V of the CC... A 60A MPPT CC is likely to be 12/24 compatible. Also, if he's just introducing Solar to his setup, then it is likely he is getting a first CC which will likely be 12/24v operative.

This is not a charger but rather a power supply unit predominantly used in Telecomms

Nigerians have repurposed it as a lead acid battery charger especially because of the very cheap price and high current capability.

Unfortunately, this charger in its default state can only 'float charge' a battery - the max voltage it can do is approximately 13.38v per 12v - this is insufficient to charge a lead acid battery properly but can quickly get you through the bulk charge stage.

I dimly recall that KieKie and one other source told me once that the techs at Oshodi could mod the PSU to put out higher voltages up to the 14v range per 12v battery - if this could be done reliably, it would make an excellent battery charger indeed.



pls who has a rectifier or psu of 14v to 15v to sell or build.

Thanks!

How many watt do you harvest daily from your 4600 PV solar system? I'm trying to set up one at my house and I would like to know what I can harvest from a 8 nos of 300 watt panel (2400). I've done some reading up myself and I've spoken to some installer likewise but I want something more practically as against the usual assuming 5 hours of sunlight, one will get 12kwh BS which will then be reduced by efficiency and other losses

I plan to use 4 nos of 200ah battery

Average harvest of 13Kwh- 18Kwh. The sun was smoking hot today. almost hitting 19Kwh mark
for your 2400w panels expect an average of 7Kwh - 10Kwh daily weather permitting.
with the stay at home order, boredom has kicked in and I literarily just seat and stare at the ICC software to see when the solar panels hit peak
more like watching a wet paint dry cheesy

Me I don't send request(make seller no think say I dey beg ham), I just wait till the countdown elapse and then I push the dispute in, but 90% of the instances seller extend before the countdown elapse. That said, I have later received refunded item in the past and had to return the funds back to the seller.

Lol. You get mind na.

I prefer to do all that should be done, fulfilling all righteousness before I slam the dispute gavel on a transaction going south.

It helps me to put up evidences of trying to work things out with the seller with/without success. That way I feel I stand better chances of getting favoured from AE arbitration team.
