It's funny people assume it is only grid that damages appliances, even in solar it has its own perils , lightning strikes for instance can take out your appliances. So you have to protect from both ways . Even generator that is not regulated properly causes damages .

Hmmmm, you don't need to have enough panels! I only have 1600watts capacity for now, I have been totally off Nigeria grid for more than 4years fa, this is for my own mental health and pocket! Nigeria grid will make u go bankrupt.

Mind you, I do all the basic things with it, except run an ac.

Bad weather, yes, I run my gen for 3hr and that's it. I started recording my petrol usage last year. I used only 20 liters from Jan to Dec 2021. I started the record for this year again.
The gen part has substantied what iyegeal said. In bad weather it is not bad to use grid, this is an alternative energy source just like the gen . So in theory the only way to beat bad weather is a big battery bank and adequately big panel generation.

Okay, I didn't get voltmeter to test it immediately. Hoping to get one soon.
Though based on booster reading should be around 11.5

The ba3 has come up, na light I dey wait for to further boost the ba3.
Thanks.
Well great charge it very well, with utility , we are in rainy season. It should pick , so far it is not a gel battery,

Is it possible to wake/charge dead lead acid battery? cry cry cry cry cry cry cry
My ba3 drained completely, so I took it to where I can charge it but was told it won't charge as the thing no get even small charge.
What type of lead acid agm, gel or flooded do you have.

HeadofNairaland:
Most of our installers too charge too too high.
You will add money to batteries, inverters etc con charge high amount again for "installation".Which client will pay...

Installation cost of some installers will buy another inverter or battery qouted.

Dont sound too professional... clients will "japa".
Very true, the moment a client gets the quotation from the installers and does his research he is immediately put off, by the price descrepancy...

Valto:
false, epever growatts and deye hybrid inverters are transformerless and can comfortably carry any resistive/inductive load.
Yes transformerless inverter can carry resistive/ inductive load but this is subjective.

A transformer based inverter low frequency will always handle surges better than transformerless.

If you are fully off-grid no Nepa , put on eg pumping machine, microwave, air conditioning the same time the transformer handles surges better.

Besides studies have shown transformer based inverter give out the more pure sine wave than transformerless. It cost more.

Transformerless cost less , with high frequency has their technology improves and become more efficient. Their battery consumption in idile is top notch.

Anybody that has come across the two, will tell you the transformer based inverter the bigger the kva get ready for idile battery leaching.

But transformerless is minimal battery leaching. And it cost less.

Abeg o, does stabilizers work with inverters?

What I mean is, my inverter system is connected to my mains and supplies light to the whole house. Now, I connected my stabilizer to the TV section of my living room with the intention of connecting the TV to it, but the stabilizer stays on Delaying status for a long time. It never comes on on inverter. But once I switch to nepa, the stabilizer comes on fully in 3 seconds. I am yet to test it with generator though.

But what could be happening?
You don't place stabilizer after the inverter, it will see the stabilizer has a load, the best scenario get a general stabilizer for the whole house . Plug to the mains before the inverter. You are protecting your house hold electronics including your inverter from Nepa wahala.

Truth like what fire the sun said,
In solar always think big and ahead. You are going to expand definitely. Buy gadjets that give room for expansion.

Solar side genearation should be large or have room for expansion. (Mppt).

Battery big enough to weather this present raining season.during rain solar generation can tank. But with adequate battery you are ok.

Inverter also this depends on how big your battery bank and solar array is... If you have a big solar array /battery bank/large inverter watch the sky open.

Thanks to everyone in house , the upgrade went well.
The only device in my house I couldn't power was my air conditioner.
I expanded my solar array from 2 to 3 arrays,

Being that it has been discussed on the this thread how inverter ac were not meeting up to expectations not cooling well. I looked at the cost of changing my normal ac to inverter ac. O boy I shook. I changed route more solar panels and a bigger inverter.

I can confidently say as of 10am in the morning my 1.5hp normal ac as been pumping, with other loads and water heater simultaneously.
The sky is just opening.

Will prowse YouTube, will always say let's add more panels, whether on the roof or on the bare ground that guy will place panels everywhere.and it is true the more you generate the more self sufficient you become.

Good day experts
Please I'd like to get a hybrid inverter (or PSW + charge controller) with the following specifications
3Kva 24V

(What makes 12V different from 24V)

I don't mind waiting 3 months from Alibaba if the price difference is worth it. Kindly recommend a trusted seller with links . Thank you in anticipation
If you not going hybrid,

Charge controller.all mppt,
Fangpuson.
Epever.
Less in cost power Mr.

Inverter,

Must inverter.

Luminous inverter.

Make hybrid people add.

You also ask what makes 12v different from 24v, that is you system or battery bank. When starting decide what your battery bank will be first. 24v is better than 12v , so also 48v is more reliable than 24v. From there you can get your inverter or charge controller according to your battery bank.

Please I needed help to evict a stubborn tenant. After I left the country and handed over my property to a lawyer, a tenant has refused paying his rent for almost two years without reason. The matter has been in court for almost two years without success. The court keeps adjourning the case. The tenant refusal to pay the rent has pushed other tenant to start owing too. Please kindly suggest the best way out of this situation.
Location of property: Abuja.
Sorry to say this sounds like you lawyer and tenant are using your head. Change your lawyer.

[quote author=bigrovar post=111928109][/quote]This your post is very biased, there is no dispute that lithium is the new baby in town, but don't disuade people from options they have.
First your statement above 800w solar system you want to push 50amps how ?..

All you described above is under panel size and you know it.

Lithium is great, but every one keeps saying the same thing. Pls be balanced. The only disadvantage of lithium which no one likes saying especially we wey dey naija na price....

Now someone will quote and say you can discharge lithium to 80%, you cant try that with lead, so it is cheaper. Why will I want to discharge batteries every time to this DOD, my battery bank is not adequate. Someone will say lithium loves to be discharged, everyone on this forum that have started their solar journey has an inbuilt fear of DOD. You should na money be batteries. Cycle life in batteries for both lithium or lead is what determines how long your batteries go stay.

It is comfort everyone dey find.
The best scenario either lithium or lead is to have a big enough and adequate bank size and have a reasonable amount of solar panels to charge it.
You mentioned you will be struggling to charge your batteries on a rainy day so you switch off for it to charge... Haha.! You know.
Both batteries and panels should be expanded to accommodate this.
Both lead acid and lithium are okay, they have their disadvantages and advantages,

Lithium is the future.
Lead acid is ok

Alaba too have a very strong union and frown at people short changing customers. If you have any dispute there is a mechanism in place for that.

The seller pays fine and also replaces the item or refund when at default. No

When next you have any dispute, go to the task force unit and make a complaint.
Bro that is story, alaba union is joke. If you buy a product from a major dealer and it is faulty the union will throw you back and forth and no replacement.
Arena is better.

vickzie:
what is the price difference between the new and toks
Depends on the type of panels if going the toks way, 300 watt poly panel may go for 40-45k. While a new one bw 58-75k depends on the brand.
Personal I have found out it's easier to detect a true 300watt poly from a 300 watt mono you can't cheat poly in size. If you are going toks way stick with poly, mono toks and new because of their small frame alaba boys can print anything on mono. My personal opinion.
Alaba don show mee ..

Good afternoon guys.. I need to improve my solar system and I’m in need of 13 units of 350w to 380w . I am undecided between buying new panels or used European panels ..

Please what is the best suggestions.. what are the current prices for both used Tokunbo panels and new panels in the market
My brother with the current economic situation in the country going the route of toks panels is not bad.
Make sure you test them properly before buying.
My last upgrade in December was purely toks panels, the sky seems to have opened up.

For every action they is an opposite reaction, this would only have effect on their diplomatic relationship, both parties get to loose, but I see Poland and co loosing more, the things you use to get cheap from your neighbor would come at high cost getting it else where, Russia would only have to throw their abundant products out into the international markets at affordable cost and still boost its economy
How through which border, the same the closed. You assume a single country can a exist without it's neighbors. Isolation is what is going to kill Russia
