sensisosu:
what are the documents needed to take for the interview ?

sensisosu:
My passport photographs is not getting accepted.. can I submit the ds160 form without attaching a passport photograph ?

Kids as home ties to the country is a tricky one. In a sense, it can be seen as a home tie and from another angle, it can be a stumbling block. If the issue of kids come up in the interview, the way you answer it may singularly determine whether you'll be given the visa or not. I have a friend who has kids that recently interviewed. She was asked by the VO, "Who will take care of your kids in your absence?" She replied that her husband will. She was then asked about the nature of her husband's job (he's a banker). Apparently, the VO wasn't satisfied and didn't give her the visa. I don't mean to sound pessimistic as there are a good number of folks with kids who have been given visas. However, your answer to the question about the kids has to be very tight and convincing.

Yea, your two kids is a nice home ties but I don't think they would allow your kids in the Consulate since it's not their interview. I know they allow parents to accompany under age kids for their interview, I don't know if the other way round is allowed.
You won't be asked if you are engaged. You would only be asked "do you have kids?" and "are you married"?.
In my opinion, you trying to answer "are you married?" with "No, but am engaged" would either be misinterpreted as a rehearsed scam or it would make you look desperate

On top of what Oga Barezzi has said - are you connected to the grid? If you have had power from PHCN or Gen overnight or all through the day today, then it is plausible that you will not see the full power of your PV panels deployed.

Regardless, I am concerned that your total harvest for the day is Zero KwH - did you take your pics early AM or this afternoon? All those trickling ~7 amps going out of your CC over the course of the day should have added up to something higher than Zero KwH except you have another charging source (e.g. inverter) at a higher voltage point, even then all the amps your CC generated through the day should add up to more than Zero KwH.

Please do what Oga Barezzi said, during full sun and clear skies tomorrow if you are in float and getting small yield just switch on all the equipment you possibly can - if your CC increases the current output then all is probably well. You may also want to put your changeover in neutral e.t.c to avoid grid charging masking your results - your inverter would always isolate your batteries from the equipment loads while charging from the mains - i.e whenever mains (PHCN or Gen) is available, the equipment loads would be fed directly from the mains supply with zero drain on the batteries.

my cc setup is in the villa, so cant guide you tru the steps..but download the manual and read..u will see how to set it.
its just after where you would specify ur batt bank capacity in AH.

@bolded, i explained that you need to buy solar racks with adjustable legs!.
see the attached picture, maybe you would understand.for such a steep roof..laying your panels flat is a big NO NO

Might look like tough love but sir you need to do some home work yourself.. The equalisation setting is in your controller manual. Might want to read up on battery charging for deep cycle battery. There is no short cut to knowledge you just have to have the craving to learn.

From the pictures you posted here are my observation

Batteries are mixed. Never. Good thing to mix different batteries : trojan and different tubular batteries all have different internal resistance .. Also are those batteries new? I doubt it. Mixing batteries will slow the weaker battery drain the bank and the stronger one get over charged and damaged.

Also your battery cable seem too thin for your setup. You can't get optimal charge with those cables.

You are yet to tell what direction your solar panels are facing east west north or south.

JUO:
please did you pay for installation?

from ur pic, can see ur cc is epsolar , its same type am using.
your problem is too fold.
cos ur panels are not placed optimally..they are not generating enuff juice to charge ur bank, generally u need C/10 amps for flooded batteries...ie if ur batt is 200amps...u need a charging current of 200/8=25amps minimum to charge them optimally and prevent sulphation.

2ndly go into the settings of ur cc, and select ur charging voltages, in there u will also see the equalization setting which is every month...select 15.5v per battery as equalization voltage.

i hv 6 x 250w 24v panels with 60amps epsolar cc, my output hits 1270w/45amps, though the avg is about 27amps- 35amps

My wife is the principal applicant and our score was 444 until I sat for the IELTS test and that added an extra 20 points to it...
You stand a chance if you apply via one of the PNPs or if by some miracle, the CRS cut off crashed in your favor.
