Better safe than sorry. Check cdcare for 535 watts bifacial.

Are they genuine panels? Yes i gotta ask as Colors doesn't even have the 535W listed

Fremlin:
They have 715w bifacial

Can the 715 watt be used for the Growatt SP6000ES with 16A Input per tracker?
The 715 Watt has an Imp 17.54A and go theoretically go up to 19.35A if the bificial kicks in properly

Fremlin:
They have 715w bifacial

I was actually at a big outlet in Lagos (yesterday) and they checked their inventory. Zero panels in stock, even their websites says otherwise which i showed to them, but zero in stock.
But even if they did, i need something under 16A Imp, so the 715 is way outside the comfort zone

Original Jinko panels, anyone?
Colors seems to be out of stock on all variants.

Na battery you request. See as customs don forget sey your stuff still dey their hand.

Just imagine customs finish with your parcel and Speedaf come dey delay delivery for like 5 weeks. Nigeria na war.

battery? at all. just some regular desktop/workstation stuffs, zero batteries
i don tire

God airpus oh!

geeetee:
you can play fine @ 200ms

While you can play intense MP games, anything above 30ms, your death go be water, lol
u will get frustrated with dying multiple times, so tey the game go tire you.
Imagine playing COD:B07 at 130ms against people with 10ms, life go tire you

Hi
I am looking forwardtonhave this exact same setup. I have already gotten the inverter from fouani, remain battery and panels.
Please i have some questions since you have bee using it for over a year.
1. Didi you get the plynotech battery from Fouani.
2. If yes, does it come with cable that will be used to connect the battery to the inverter. I noticed the terminal of plynotech battery is different from growatt terminal.
3. How good is the battery, have you experienced any issue with it. What your honest reviewon the pylontech battery after a year plus of using it.
Thanks you

Yes, got everything from them. Comes with everything you need, One end of the battery cable is proprietary but the other is regular. Battery is known for it superiority but quite expensive that's all. Capacity is not fake and still behaves as it should since day 1. No issues at all, zero! I plugged it and forgot about it till now.

Too early for such extreme limelight, I would say! No offence

3, 2, 1 . . . Blackface preparing to set ring light. E don be!

That basket dey swallow spoon like no tomorrow ..

Mavor:
The Pylon looks to be a Lithium-ion though compared to the Deye which is LiFePo4. I am not touching a Lithium ion battery. Lol.

Wrong. Pylontech LFP batteries are actually the LiFePO₄ variant.
Li-ion is the overall name for these battery chemistries

LG, I may be biased as I use LG.

Their Dual Inverter model is just so energy efficient.

Maximum cold running wattage <= 1000w for the 1HP version (drops to around 600w when room is cold)

Dehumidifier mode = 230w to 600w (depends on time of day; outdoor temperature)

Fan Mode = 120w

My 1.5HP Panasonic Inverter (will find model later) drops to around 650W.

Light rains, with a sun afterwards, best recipe for solar panels
The panels have maxed out their 4.6K capacity at this point

Please what do you use to monitor this

This is impressive. Where did you buy your jinko panels?

Fouani

Another good day. 96% instantaneous yield. These Jinkos are something else

temi4fash:
. . . You are saying its safe to use our Life04 battery to 20%..

I set my cutoff at 10% (though it never gets there) and the batteries can go as low as 5% without any damage but IDGAF, the money spent on it
should be enjoyed

toscotech:
How can i connect this panel 6pieces

While not an expert, I can tell these are obviously fake from the nameplate design.

Original Jinko panels will wow you, for example in the image,
my 4.6 kWp crushed the NOCT (3.5 kW) and consistently hovers around 87% - 90% STC, i.e up to 4.1kW sustained (not instantaneous) power.

kristien4:
You cant do 9s2p on the growatt spf6000es. The spf6000es has a current limit of 16A each on each mppt string. The jinko 580w produces around 14amps of current, 9s2p will produce 28amps, unless you intend doing 9series on each pv input/mppt. Correct me if I'm wrong tho. I use same config as you, spf5000es with 9pieces 580w. Max voltage ive got is 431v. For the spf6000es i believe each string should be 500v 16amp each, for individual mppt.

HI, yes you're correct. Had to double-check the specs. 9S per tracker is the way to go since they are independent.
And in future, I could parallel more inverters as I would prefer to have multiple inverters as against one big unit; just for redundancy's sake. Thanks for your contribution.

Hello house, good evening. Looking towards a bit of recommendation or ideas.
I'm seeking to increase my setup. Currently it's

Panels: 8x 580W Jinko = 4.6kWp (On a good day i get around 4kW instantaneous, which serves good for daytime including inverter ACs usage from as early as 10am till 6pm)
Batteries: 2x PylonTech 5.12kWh = 10.24kWh (Since i am grid-tied (Band A), this hardly goes below 85% DOD cycled)
Inverter: Growatt SPF 5000ES.

The inverter's max input voltage is 450V which limited me to a a single string of 8x panels = 408 VOC. One extra panel would have crossed VOC with almost 10V because each is 51.02 according to specs.

I am looking to do the following:
Add 1x PylonTech 5.12kWh to make total battery 15.36 kWh
Change the inverter to the SPF 6000 ES Plus which supports up to 500V and 8kWp array

Doing this means I can then add 10 extra panels in a 9S2P config. VOC will go up to 459.18V
and theoretical yield will be 10.4 kWp. If the panels, on a good day, can do 85% yield, that's about 8.8kwP but the inverter only supports 8k; so about 800W best case (or 1.6kW worst case) is lost to overpanelling.

Am I on the right track?, or should i consider an inverter than can support up to 10kWp array? such as the Growatt SPH 5000TL-BL-UP 5kW capable of doing 9.5kW array and up to 550VOC. Except this is 5kW and not 6kW.

At this point, isn't it better to do the SPF 6000 ES Plus since it can be paralleled and thus can do 2x (12kW power; 1000 VOC, 16kWp) assuming I will do two banks of solar input?

Thank you.

nwirinedu:
They are very slow in cooling, some take up to an hour to cool , while a regular ac will cool in 5 minutes.
Difficult to repair.
Only good for those with small generators

Wrong info. Inverter ACs will usually have what is called Turbo or Burst Mode
that ramps up the compressor and increases fan speed.
In this mode, it can comfortably cool down a room in 1hr or less ( the same as a conventional unit).
If you truly had one, you would know and not type this.
Please let's try to get fact rights and stop dispensing beer-parlor gists

Rubyjade:
inverter AC is rubbish. W

How? Na you go buy rubbish/ Buy wrong; buy twice.
Buy an original Panasonic Inverter A/C or LG Dual Inverter and even put it on 24 Eco Mode
if you no freeze; make i know wetin cause am

Omoapena:
if you're under Band A electricity, make sure all your appliances are inverter, if you mistakenly buy the conventional appliances under Band A, you go too cry ooo

imagine spending nothing less than 100k monthly on electricity alone cox you have conventional AC, fridge, freezer, fan, and co...

100k ke? You no even talk 500 - 600! Band A is 227naira per unit in distribution areas

ask4bk:
How do you assure that the person you give your password can't get the password from his phone and use in other devices? (though I know you'll see the extra unknown devices from your management).
Anyone that has your password can get it from his device easily. Except you are whitelisting

Using SSIDs as an option; you can create one and assigned number of connected users and speed, e.g.
10 users/ 10Mbps. Whether the neighbor decides to share the password with 10 people or use it alone, the speed will never exceed 10Mbps.
And the more people the neighbor shares the password with, the more his (the neighbor's) speed reduces.
Owner's speed remains untouched.

ask4bk:
Do you just share WiFi password to them and limit the speed on your 3rd party router?

Do you whitelist?

Wrong mention, I guess

confluence:
What is horrible, you don't know what you are talking about, I have some of the tenants install kodi on their system and they stream virtually all DStv channels. Each tenant can connect up to 3 device each at that speed concurrently

2Mbps * 3 devices = 6 Mbps maximum demand
6Mbps * 2 tenants = 12 Mbps maximum demand

Starlink on a bad day can still deliver nothing less than 50Mbps; leaving 38Mbps for you
On a good day, 150 - 300Mbps is not unusual, leaving 138Mbps - 288Mbps for you

Note that data usage is unlimited. You might need to reconsider. While unlimited data at 10k/2Mbps x 3 devices per month
might look good to them, there is still plenty on the table without hurting your own speed.

At least 4Mbps for a start per device; maxing it at 24Mbps
or 10Mbps per SSID maxing out at 20Mbps
This second option is preferred and each tenant can have their own SSID and share the 10Mbps speed how they like among
their devices.

But if you're on the roaming plan and in Lagos; soon to be 167k; all bets are off!
Good luck.

1stSonOfLucifer:
I doubt if there is such thing as "boosting tool". ....

There are but
1. Na fake full market, and
2. Even if you get an original, the device is outlawed in Nigeria by the NCC

ologun01:
will a roaming plan get service now in lagos?

Probably; i guess Elon has his own plans. Just need to sit back and watch how it plays out

ask4bk:
Oh, I see, you guys are in Lagos or Abuja that can't use residential so you'll be increased to 167k of roaming. Eyaaa!
When many of you leave, I'm sure spaces will start opening up in those areas and the residential restrictions there will clear. People will get faster Internet too.

I don't think so. a residential user has to leave for a residential spot to open up
If a roaming user leaves; nothing changes, residential-wise; except for another user taking up the roaming plan instead of business
and at 167k; not even worth it.

ibietela2:
I thought you were on residential?

Nah, mate. Roaming since day zero
