From that 5w bulb that died, it is obvious the thunder passed through the grid line into your house. I always say that grid is always d weak link of solar systems. I advice you put AC spd on both your input and output of your systems. And when it rains with thunders, REMOVE YOUR CUT OUT FUSE if you are connected to grid. I never fail to do such, cause thunder always passes through our grid lines when it thunders over here.

aside warming, how many watt for cooking say soup from scarch

osayuwamwen:
this thing don burn my food 3 time, now I they understand am, before I they use 1600-2100 to warm food and still use the same to cook fresh food, when even 1000watt will cook fresh food even faster than gas

ajabani4allah:
Does it still get hot enough to cook or boil if it is reduced to like 400w and below?

osayuwamwen:
is this not infrared ? for clarity purposes on the induction cooker,1000watt on the induction cooker is actually 1000watt my refrigerator and fan was on that was what make it 1.3kw, but once the induction cooker is set below 1000watt the actual power draw will be fluctuating btw below the power set and above the power set on the induction cooker like example when u set at 800watt the actual power will fluctuate BTW 716watt to 1.1kw

KA24DETT:
I got the Qasa AC/DC fan. its on Jumia and available locally. , i'm pretty sure there are other manufacturers

KA24DETT:
Na you be efficiency baba. Three DC fans running all night are more efficient than even one AC fan. Most people don’t really understand how efficient DC fans are compared to AC fans — the energy savings can be up to 80%.

When I installed a solar system for my uncle (Big family ), I changed his house fans from AC to DC. Night usage dropped immediately:

Before (AC fans): Average
60W per fan × 5 fans × 12 hours = 3,600 Wh per night

After (DC fans):
25W per fan × 5 fans × 12 hours = 1,500 Wh per night

That’s about 2,000 Wh saved every single night — power you don’t have to drain from your battery bank.

Automatically, your system now needs:

smaller batteries

less inverter stress

fewer panels

This is why I always push DC fans.
You save everywhere from Day 1.

Qasa AC/DC fan on Jumia is around 60k. Maybe cheaper in the market. You will save the cost of purchase on batteries and panels from Day 1.

Bros, i have always been on this thread for more than a year but i rarely post. I summarized my business experience to help others.

Forrkke:
My Sako inverter has been displaying two error codes today.

Error 51 (overcurrent or surge)

Error 58 (Output voltage is too low)

The persistent one is error 58, nothing is coming on.

I've disconnected all inputs and outputs, as well as the battery. It's still the same thing.

What could possibly be wrong?

bassdow:
unFortunately, the Video got no business to what i said. The Video is to tell whether Bi-Facial would yield better than non-Bifacial solar panel, not about the things I commented on.

I bin think say the case don rest abi...

BigDickProblems:
This is the first time I’m seeing a tribalistic comment on this thread. Please stop it. It’s not cool. You can say “Alaba boys” and everyone can read whatever meaning to it.

Mrreed:
Nope

Mrreed:
Good morning chiefs, these are what I have at the moment and their prices.

All with JK Bms
12v 1.95kwh eve 290k (wooden box)
12v 3.5KWH With 100a REPT or hithium cell @ 420k (plastic box)

24v 3.9kwh with 100a BMS Eve cells 570k (. Metal box)
24v 7.1kwh with 200a BMS Rept or hithium cells @ 840k ( metal box)

48v 14.3kwh REPT or hithium 1.6m (metal box)

swagifted:
even in words and not figures bots go still react?

Mrreed:
3 years from my end.
Though Cell suppliers give 5 years and the quoted cycle life are in excess of 6000.

Collione:
1.750

Mrreed:
At the moment, Rept, hithium, AESC. The 14-16kwh comes with free 1p mccb.

Collione:
I want to take this opportunity to appreciate this group in my inverter journey. I love my set up so far. The 10kwh battery is monstrous for my daily usage so much so that I barely consume 10 percent every night with fridge and fan on and the Firman inverter is a champ although I'm still disappointed that it can't communicate via BMS still but I set the parameters as bulk 54.4v and float as 54.0v keeping my battery at 96 percent full charge not 100 though the recommendation is 55.2 bulk and 54.4 float. If anyone is able to communicate Firman with lvtopsun I'd like to hear it as it's important to me. God bless you all for your amazing work

Mrreed:
16.8kwh, 1.7m
The equivalent in a wooden box is 1.550

Gshems:
Please who sells dc breakers and spd here

HeavenlyBang:
Remind me how 1.5 HP is 1700w again?

bassdow:
Probably because most (if not all) hotPlates having 2 sides are composed of big and small.

loluskysat:
@Techgeek77, what are you guessing? I told you what am using, you say you're guessing.

loluskysat:
@ISJ: I'm a realist and not one of this textbook theorist. I test things and obtain the actual performance. For the 1000w inverter, we use it regularly to cook, but we use only one plate at a time and without any other devise on. The spec of the electric cooker is 2000w. We also use the same inverter to pump water using our 1hp pump. See, there is nothing wrong in using a device up to its rated capacity. They are actually designed to handle that rated capacity without problem and that is why it's stated, except if the device is fake or substandard.

kristien4:
8pieces of jinko 580w= 4640 doing over 100%. Dont play. If youre in benin, and you need original brand new jinko panels at very good prices. Hit me up!

kristien4:
Does lead acid die after cycle?

earthrealm:
hope you remember/know that the battery doesn't die after this 6k/4k/ or 2500 cycle count, rather its derated to 80% capacity...which is still a hell lot

futurenix:
Ok. If it's a malfunction it probably would have repeated again cause it's over 6 months now and I have been checking it.
The battery has a breaker and a reset button and BMS shuts off after 48hrs of putting off the breaker. How that BMS did that extra counting just within that period is what I still don't know.

Maybe U can try to test and keep your pack locked in a car for 4 days during the dry season let's still check at that over 170 degrees if the count will be audio.

This is a section of Eve 280k datasheet.
U can only get 2500 cycles at 43°C from that sheet. I would drop this value to 40°C and 2000 cycles then assume worst case scenario.

If you can't maintain 23-25°C don't expect any 6000 cycles.

Peterlove11:
Make it cheaper.....its not financially advisable in 2024 to buy used tubular batteries 2x 12 220ah (5280wh) for over 500k when you can get Lithium Phosphate 5kwh with more Discharge cycles for around 1m.

ojesymsym:
Infrared does not have a motor so I haven't noticed any surge.

It just does its work quietly. I then to use 600W though.

Yes, all pots. An induction cooker will not even start to heat if it does not find a magnetic pot on top of it, an infrared cooker heats up as soon as you put it on, so even if you put plastic e go melt am for you.

Talking about surge sef, it was even my induction cooker that was tripping off my inverter the small time it agreed to work. Not sure why this is so though.

ojesymsym:
Your link did not open but from the name on the link, I can 99% say Yes, the remaining 1% is just for disclaimer.

ojesymsym:
Buy infrared instead... At the very least you will not have to be changing pots and cooking intensis.
You can also adjust the power to what you want including this your 400W you indicated
