After contacting Techland, I realized it would be better I go with FOUANI anyway.
160-220k for waybill and 4480 per 2 panels for packaging is no joke lol 😂

Do well to fill me in on the outcome
I will, currently I’m working out my plans to know my total cost.

Ok. Maybe you can
1. Check where you installed it and provide improve the ventilation around the heat exchange coils at the back. You can add a standing fan to blow over it, move it away from the wall or enclosed area. These may help improve heat transfer and aid faster freezing
2. Check if the voltage supply to it is constantly at the recommended value. An inverter system can help out your mind to rest with this, or a good stabilizer.

Wish you the best.
Thanks for the tips…The freezer comes with fan that blows the heat out from the compressor region. Do I still need to add another fan to blow the heat exchange coils?
Just as recommended from a post here that some space has to be given away from the wall…I followed that and even a bit more (10inches) away from the wall.
I’m running it with solar so the inverter is putting out constant voltage for sure. They said it can do 140-260V I guess and the output voltage of the inverter is 220+

Same rate I bought my 625w Jinko panels.
Where did you got 625W jinko panel at that rate?

Both are pretty good I must! Am just used to the Canadian panels they are brand new

660watts cost is 168k as at that time
Oh okay thanks for the response.
625W Jinko panels cost 184500 on Fouani currently…I wonder if I can get the current cost of the 660W of the Canadian panel to know which is best value for money.

Powering the owerri ice block making machine

20kw srne hybrid inverter
30kwh Bluecarbon lithium battery
32 panels 660watts bifacial Canadian panels
Dope!!!
Are the Canadian panels new or foreign used?
If New, how do you get your hands on them and if used can I get from your plug?
Which one is better compared to Jinko panels?

Too sad. If you can afford a small
Good or used deep freezer it may help.
Tired of the long wait hours already, I’ll be getting a fabricated ice block machine by the end of the year, they claim it freezes in 8hrs.
I’ll change my solar set up to 48v 628Ah and a 10kVa inverter.

What is the problem with it?
Running it 24/7 for four days, it’s not able to freeze 30 pieces of the water tied in it even though they claim it’s freezing capacity is 32kg/24hrs

Good afternoon to y’all great people on here
Can I use 16 piece of 625W panel with this inverter?
Two pairs of 8 in series and then parallel the two pairs together.

Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by RickyM(m): 9:04am On May 09, 2024
isangjohnson:
The allowable voltage range that will not harm the cells is 2.500v-3.650v.
The working voltage range is 3.000v-3.400v per cell.
Charging above 3.425v per cell gains you nothing other than tear and wear because there is no appreciable stored energy above that voltage.
Can I use 16 pieces of 625W jinko panel with this inverter? 8 in series twice and then parallel the two pairs of 8panels together.

Don’t buy the 720L. But the 250L X 2 or 3 as recommended by that guy. Since it’s solar powered. The larger the vaccum(space) the longer it takes to chill and eventually freeze.

The more the content in the freezer the longer it takes to freeze up.

With that set up forget about water heater. Focus on your ice blocks bro. Kill that 720L idea if you aren’t on a 33kva line.
I’ve not been on here for a while, I ended up buying 519L Haier Thermocool but it’s not doing the job as I expected and it consume at least 240W even though it’s rated 140W sad sad
But it’s not actually all useless as I plan on getting fabricated ice block machine and whenever I harvest I will be putting them inside the freezer

Good evening to y’all great people
Please I’m curious about something and I hope y’all can clarify it.
What should be the battery full voltage and low battery of a 24V LiFePO4 battery pack?
Due to my knowledge, I thought each cell can attain 3.65V at fully charge and 2.5V while low?

I need the two item attached below, it has to be from the same seller so I won’t have to pay twice for waybill.
24v 2000W and 60A Cc
Please signify 🙏🙏🙏

I see no reason the inverter will not power the 140w freezer and I think a member here power his with this same inverter.
I sold 1.2kw 12v inverter to a customer and it powered his 140w freezer without any stress.
Where do you base?
Asking because I wanted to know if it’s close to Ekiti as Ineed some things there tomorrow and I don’t want to pay too much for waybill

The inverter should be able to carry this deep freezer. I power my 80w Haier Thermocool deep freezer with just the 1600w and it works. Give it a try. To increase the chances of it working, try these out though:

- Put on the inverter when the battery is well charged (at least 12.6v for a 12v system). If you are on solar, you should be hitting this by even 10am

- Put off ALL the appliances in the house and put on the deep freezer first. This will give the inverter enough headroom to accommodate the surge of the deep freezer

- As a last resort if you try the two points above and the inverter still trips on overload when you put on the freezer, leave it (the deep freezer) on, then switch off the inverter and put it back on so that the freezer will come on along with it.

If all three methods don't work, then upgrade the inverter
It’s an inverter freezer which means it has no surge…I tried plugging it to a 2kva generator and the generator doesn’t change sound in anyway.

Good morning to great Nairalanders🫡🫡🫡
Anyone on here with used MPPT charge controller for sale?
At 24v it must be able to take at least 3000W PV power
Needed in Ekiti

Good morning to great Nairalanders🫡🫡🫡
Since my inverter got fried by lightning and it’s yet to be fixed and man never guide to buy another as I’d love to get a reliable one when I’m making a purchase.
I want to know if it’s fine to run the attached freezer picture on this inverter.
It’s a thermocool inverter freezer so energy efficient and the start up voltage isn’t high.
Your opinions are welcome

I can't really tell because I've not used Thermocool Genpal before.
Even the energy saving Lg ACs we're talking about, there are a lot of fake ones in the markets.
You may be surprised to see a huge energy consumption when you put it to use.
Wawu!

Does any of these PWM charge controller good for charging LiFePO4 battery?
Or any other suggestions but not MPPT abeg because man no guide 😂😂😂

Ferdiwar:
I believe one of the problem you're having with your setup is your charging system.

Get an mppt charge controller like powmr and install, then confirm if the battery will still perform that poorly.

Again your inverter should be among the earlier models of Felicity inverters that are not that efficient (their self consumption are over 100w) and from the pictures you shared it looks like a used inverter that was repaired at some point.
Self consumption of inverter over 100W?
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by RickyM(m): 8:36pm On Apr 08, 2024
Ferdiwar:
This looks more like lithium polymer judging from the attached pictures.

1. Are you charging the battery with external charge controller or from the inverter?

2. Does your inverter/charge controller has the correct charging profile for the battery (that's if my assumption of the battery being a lithium polymer is correct).

Try and confirm if my assumption is true by taking the voltage measurement of each cell and see if you'll get between 3.7 to 4.2v at full charge.
The inverter has an inbuilt PWM charge controller rated 50A

Hmmmm...to run freezers at night, 1m+? How was that supposed to be possible?

These are some of the issues...
He uploaded a 10kwh battery and I said I want half of that and he gave me a quote for it and I paid. Afterwards I also paid for inverter and solar panels differently so when I said over a million, that’s just for the battery alone.
I paid since last year and during this time even Felicity supposed 5kwh battery is at least able to supply 4.3kw and it’s sold below the price I paid for the DIY at that time before the dollar started rising and prices of things skyrocketed.
Regardless of the efficiency of the inverter and power loss due to heat, 4.3kw that Felicity battery supplied will run a 110W three start rated freezer for more than 24hrs without recharging so yes it’s nothing impossible if he did what we agreed on…Thanks!

Confirm yourself bro.
Open a little part and take pictures.
This is as far as I can go as I do not want to break the seal he wrapped around the battery because if I do then it will be obvious I opened it.
