Shyte!

I ordered two MPPT CCs few days ago and insisted it be shipped with my choice - DHL.

This is related to India bound goods from China and Hongkong..

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by essegis(m): 10:55pm On Jun 28, 2020
The tower of power (coined from David Poz) is beginning to take shape.

Presently we have fully tested the 38120 cells and Nissan Leaf batteries, both without BMS for now. The 38120 were disappointing to say the least. Suspecting there might be some weak cells among them but no proper equipment to carry out the required tests yet.

The Nissan Leaf did okay for a short test but had to put it off as no way to charge it yet. The Victron charger is not yet configured for Lithium ion batteries. Seeing solar depot have the Mk3-usb connect for the configuration but the pepper is not here oo. Abeg if anybody get one wey I fit borrow just configure the charger I will return back immediately.

Make una try help a brother.

Lovely dashboard.

Thanks to emoncms

mank1234:


I'm falling in love with your GK now as it can combine solar with utility to power load and charge the battery coupled with lower self consumption compared to MK.

It's high solar voltage, batteryless operation, lower self consumption VS parallel ability, zero transfer operation.

Yup, but I think the lower voltage, parallel feature and higher combined battery charge rate is still a selling point for MK for those who have need for those

Indeed the sun is the answer! She has afforded us a decent living and above all energy security.

@NiyiOmoIyunade

Wow. That's amazing!! 12748 Watts!!! That battery bank will always float for hours. Is this setup in Lagos or Northern Nigeria?

If you don't mind, kindly share the specification of this setup. Will like to plan towards future upgrade. Hmmn. This will guzzle a lot of money, no doubt but at the end of the day, constant power to power everything.


NiyiOmoIyunade:
Buying trusted premium products, you will never have regrets - the reliability, performance and bells and whistles are well worth it. I used to think Fangpusun was alright until I started using Victron in my own house and saw it blow the Fang outta the water. Imagine trying to aggregate your total PV generation in one dashboard when the CC is Fangpusun or EPSolar cheesy grin

Very Very True. Nothing beats a premium product. Waking up early, sleep late delivering optimum performance. The reliability, the accuracy of data, the efficiency and the durability is always guaranteed unless if one is unlucky which happens once in a a while. And Victron products in my opinion appears to be one of the the best brands available today but pricey due to the exchange rate.

Are you based in Lagos? It may be possible to share a MK3 USB if you are located close enough. Please note that this dongle is only needed to setup the Multi or Quattro, for the MPPT Chargers you only need a veDirect to USB cable. I still have a few spare units of those as well.

You can actually do this with a voltage meter, just check the voltage of each cell(under load, and be extremely careful o!). The weak cells will show face, as there will be a large difference, up to or even more than 1v. Identify and remove them immediately. It's a task of patience!

Good day the gurus in the house, pls am a novice on this solar of a thing, my question is this, is their any problem in charging my 12v *2 batteries charging with solar and giving me batt volt BTW 29 to 32v
Am using 300watts *2 solar panels with 30a mppt CC
If the batteries are connected in parallel, there's an issue but if connected in series you're safe

Hmmmm.

They are connected 24p. Do you want me to take them one at a time to connect in 4s and try? Cos if I connect all in parallel I don't have a 3.2v discharge ability.

What he meant is that while they are all connected and under load, take your multimeter and start checking voltage of each cell(positive and negative of each cells) you should find some culprits

My Oga,

Yes we are based in Lagos just 10 minutes walk from the Lagoon/Seaside grin grin grin.

The area is blessed with abundant cloudy weather, floods and lightning flashes.

To the system - there are 4 CCs - from left to right;

Victron Smart Solar MPPT 250V/100A - 20 Units of Canadian Solar 385W Connected
Victron Blue Solar MPPT 150V/85A - 12 Units of ET Solar 360W Modules Connected - thanks to two trusty NairaLanders
Victron Smart Solar MPPT 150V/70A - 12 Units of Canadian Solar 300W Modules Connected
Victron Smart Solar MPPT 150V/70A - 12 Units of Canadian Solar 330w Modules - will be setup this week as we just took them off the roof of our old location.

So effectively, I was making 12.75Kw of power from a 15.6Kw name plate array on the said day - I am still curious to see what the full 19.58Kw system would do.

16 Pylon Tech US 2000 bricks (8 stacks arranged each side of the cabinet) - that small black box on top of the cabinet is the PylonTech Low Voltage Hub which can help connect I think about 40 units of Pylon Tech together - it is required if you want to interface with the more than 8 Pylon batteries and have them all under 'smart control' - in an open loop system, you will not need the LV Hub.

At the center of it all is the Venus GX (small blue box in the middle) with many wires sticking out - this talks to the inverter, MPPTs and batteries and make sure they all work in perfect sync.

Interestingly the combined PylonTech stack call for 400A of charging current - that is way more power than I would ever want to process through my current equipment - I currently do 245A and may push up to 320A @ 52.5v when done with the install.

At the extreme right is a 15Kva Quattro - in restrospect, I may not have needed such a size or it may have been better to do 3 units 5KVa in a 3 phase config - I may run into issues if I ever want to connect to a 3 phase grid or Generator as I basically wired the house single phase since the Quattro drives everything.

On top of the leftmost Pylon Tech stack are my Raspberry Pi 3 and TP Link Router - together these help me poll the Venus GX for information which I then forward to my EmonCMS dashboard - what I have posted here is the 'family view' so the household can manage power effectively - there is another hidden dashboard where graphs, trends, highs and lows e.t.c to aid system audit and diagnostics are kept.

Ok, let me rephrase:
Your setup is 48v right? Which makes it 16s, now U have 24 of it in parallel Abi? If yes, then I think U will require a lot more patience to test this cells

I will prefer U do it stage by stage, and group them by voltages while discharging each set with the same amount of load for a specific period. Kindly answer this questions up and we move forward from there.

A simple Pylon Tech install around VGC Lekki. Lagos.

We provided the inverter and batteries while client engaged a neighborhood welder to make him a rack.

Steca Solarix Inverter - 5Kva
4 Units US 2000 PylonTech - 9.6Kwh nominal and ~8kwh useable.
Switch gear and load control/limit.

Batteries are faced away from the direction of wind on account of the many open ports on the battery as the installation is in a garage.

Key to the system design is the rapid charge capability of a LifeP04 battery - client's rental rules do not allow solar panels visible on the roof so they run a generator for 4 to 5 hours and run off batteries for another 10 to 14 hours.

At current rate of usage, projected service life is 9 years minimum.

Thanks. The set up is actually 12v (24p4s) system.

I understand Ojeysky explanation from your previous answer so I will take my time to check each one by one under load. I might have to check across the individual screws as they are all set on a bussbars but even with that the faulty ones will show face.

I will let you have the answer when I'm done.
