That should be about 11:30pm Nigeria Time.

Crystasluvee:
What time be the bout?

Appalling!!!

No, they are not brand new.

They were soldered.

ceaser:
✓ Are they brand new 18/65/0 cells?

✓ Soldered or spot welded?

Thank you brother.

olopan:
More power to your elbows, I see this with more improvement in the future ... Well done

Low voltage protect kicks in at 21V but we do not advice our clients to go below 23.5V

litaninja:
Oh nice.
Also, please what SoC / DoD would you recommend it be run to?

The BMS and all the cells are fused and not just connected.

Neighborhood of between 180k and 200k.

Will improve on the artistic finishing.

Thank you very much sir.

litaninja:
Agreed.
I'd suggest trying out aluminium composite boards or sheets. Should be strong enough, easy to cut & rivet to necessary shape by skilled artisans, consistent finishing & lightweight.

How much be this ogbunigwe-looking one you have currently?
What safety features do you have built into it?

@ SolnergyPower

525 Pieces.

Neighborhood of 180k and 200k.

Thank you very much sir.

mctfopt:
How many 18650s did you use? How much?

. No wahala sir.

Seriously!

Lovely. Worthy of commendation!

Interesting...

Hmmm....

Hmm...hmm...

Amazing! Have tried a couple and they worked.

Bolt of size 13, plus its washer and nut.

BetaTechnicians:
Ok good,
What about the bolt, is there any washer on the head of the bolt that slides into the aluminium?

I think it's just the colouration. The most common colours are white and milk. Both can work effectively.

BetaTechnicians:
Thanks a lot.
Are there different grades? Because aluminium usually has different level of thickness, is there a preferred type?

You nail the aluminum frames along the same wood lines used for the house roofing.

durodee:
A question please. How do you anchor the frame to the roof?

Meet those guys selling aluminium products, show them the attached pictures.

Depending on where you live, it is usually between N1800 and N2000 per length.

BetaTechnicians:
Bro, I need to use the improvised mount for panels for a project, budget can't allow for the standard mounting kit.
What's the name of the aluminium form to be used and price range per length? Any other tips would be appreciated. Thanks.

I suspect your Solar Charge Controller, it may not be working well.

Have you tried disconnecting your Panels as at when the inverter starts tripping OFF?

If you haven't, please do and observe the inverter's behaviour.

hello house,

i have a solar installation: 24V system, 1200Watts PV array, SuNex 130A MPPT CC (used to have an Epever CC which the installer blew up and replaced with this) 2 200AH Quanta batteries, bought last year and a bluegate 2KVA / 24V inverter. In my location as early as 10am, the battery indicators on each battery is already reading 14.1V because we have plenty sun .

the issue is that since i changed from the Prag inverter i was using before to this bluegate inverter, when there is no NEPA and the inverter is on at this time, it goes turns off once the voltage reading on each of the battery gets to 14.1V and except i put plenty load on the inverter to bring the voltage down, it keeps tripping off, which i suspect is due to excess current and the possibility that the battery is full and the solar is still charging the battery (i may be wrong and i stand to be corrected). i also read it somewhere that Quanta manufacturers have a cut off voltage for longevity of their batteries at a much lower voltage (between 13.5-13.6 thereabout). i contacted an installer about the problem and he said i should install a circuit breaker between:

i. the Solar Panels and the CC (60A)
ii. the CC and the battery (30A)
iii. the battery and the inverter (30A)

this instruction is a bit strange to me and i am humbly asking the house what they think the problem might be and if the recommendation of the installer should be followed and if not, what should be done. I am counting on the house o. this investment must not waste o. Thank you.

Oga, na our area of expertise be that na, you can PM me on 0..8..0..3..3..3..3..4..3..9..1..1

earthrealm:
thanks gents for the suggestions.
seems the dc pump is a better option. am wondering if anyone is running such, lemme tap from his experience.
2ndly is the pump easily available in nigeria? or aliexpress..hence the need to purchase 2 pumps, incase of 1 going bad

3rdly, can i hook it up directly to the solar panel, without battery?

4thly, if answer to 3 is yes, i am considering retaining the old inverter setup, however the output from the panels will be split into 2, one going to sumo...the other going to the CC of the existing setup

i wish to automate the whole system, with auto flow shut off, so the system will be independent of human input, as setup is in the village. a regulator will be installed in the tank to cut off power...when tank is full...and also activate power when the water gets to a certain level.

the water demand is minimal, say 200 liters daily, so a 2k liters tank shud last 1wk or so. borehole depth is btw 80ft to 130ft. most pumps are rated flow/hr like 2000ltrs/hr...or 30L/minute , can i simply divide by 24hrs to calc the hourly flow rate....abi the pump is designed to work 24/7??

Good day Seun and happy New Year.

Thank you for providing us this platform, it has been most helpful.

Please change our username from SolnergyPower to JezSolar. Please note how the new username is written.

Thank you.

Below is how the panels sitting is made on the panels standing.

Topmost11:
Now I get. Im thinking of using aluminium poles to cross the inverted L, then fix the panels with bolt and nut to the aluminium poles.

Practice, more practice!

Start with the audience that you're very familiar with.

Get another pole!

ojeysky:
Yes it's my pole but there is more devil in the details of the pole which has to do with electric cable slag (according to my electrician), as the distance between the pole and the house may become too much if we have to relocate it.
Will explore further though.
Thanks

I think we're saying the same thing as I opined in "a".

SolnergyPower:
There is a key information you didn't give and that's, have you used the generator with the inverter before?

I'll be giving advise based on the premise that you've used the generator with the inverter before.

a. Check the frequency of the generator. Most inverters are frequency sensitive. The frequency tolerance of most inverters is in the neighborhood of 50Hz (±2Hz).

b. Check the generator voltage. If the voltage is way too high, you may need to put ON other appliances to step the voltage down before the inverter can kick in. This usually happens when the generator is going bad.

c. If your inverter has selectable charge current, select about 10A and see if the inverter can start charging.

mctfopt:
Some generator frequency can go as high as 110Hz, at that rate most inverters will no longer be able to charge the batteries. Even premium inverter like Schneider's Connext SW can only manage between 44Hz to 70Hz.

house,
please I need your help. my 2kva inverter is no more charging my battery when connected to the power. meanwhile, I get output when plug to power source. it's only solar charging the battery now and that is not enough.

This thing started when I plug it on to charge battery when I put on my generator (2.5kva).

please what can I do now.

Interesting!

Thumbs up for the OP.

Congratulations to your friend. To your questions..

1. Yes you can. But never feed the house from the house socket. Just plug your extension and use.

2. Yes.

3. The battery will of course be drained though minimal. If there isn't any factory built switch to turn off the display, please don't alter else you may damage the system.

Drgreatone:
A friend of mine just bought the luminous delite package wit 900va inverter and 150ah tubular battery. My questions are
1 Instead of connecting the output to the distribution board, can I just plug in an extension as its only for tv and decoder use and sometimes a fan
2 can i plug the input to a 1.5kva AVR which is then plugged to the wall socket for charging/mains use
3 the display is on and showing the max time/battery charge state even when the inverter is off, would that continue to draw significant power from the battery or is there a way to permanently put of the display.
Thanks
