Hi,

I believe these are not real time figures, most times there is a 5 minutes refresh delay. And sometimes it doesn’t refresh all the figures. So it probably didn’t refresh either the pv or the battery charging figure.

You can try refreshing again in 5 mins, alternatively, you can confirm physically from growatt inverter.

This is why solar assistant has an edge, it provides live monitoring information and not at 5 mins intervals like most inverters do.

Nah! I’ll rather wait for stock split. Truly, Agriculture is a hidden gold mine and that’s why I have been mopping Ellah lakes every month for a long term play.

HeavenlyBang:
Recommended charge current - 40a. 40/314 = 0.127c

Recommended continuous discharge current - 75a. 75/314 = 0.238c

HeavenlyBang:
0.13c recommended charge current and 0.25c recommended discharge are brutal.

The branch staff will even start convincing you to open a Fixed Deposit instead.

Ferdiwar:
Does Deriy have packs with EVE or Catl cells or they only use Hithium cells?

Dedynast:
I have 2 Pcs available... I bought them from Future last week but they do not fit my car's headlight sockets.

Still unopened. Found out they do not fit while trying to read how to install.

Available for 10k each (Bought from Future at 15k).

Haykay2001:
Not sure PV is connected to that set up.

Look at the inverter closely, you Wont see any PV in there...

He also label it as powerbank..

More like use light charge and discharge.. 😂 🤣

Dam5reey:
My Cells are almost 4 years and this is the pattern I have been preaching. Me I charge as fast as possible and to Voltage that get my cells balanced.
100-20% on point, see attached is 30 days pattern, mostly charged and discharged to 20% range and cycles continues.
My Cells already Paid themselve and I still have as much as 95% capacity.

GloryJoyeux:
Hi again, sorry another long read.

I noticed some folks, especially those who have solar installed in an area with good grid availability and don’t mind using the grid to supplement their battery charge, usually only discharge their batteries to around 80-50 percent.

Some others do this because they believe they want to pamper their batteries.

It’s a bit counterintuitive, but both research and real-world testing with LiFePO₄ (LFP) batteries show that:

Deeper discharges (like going from 100% down to 20%) can actually give you more usable life than shallow ones (like 100% to 80%), especially when you look at the total energy delivered over the battery’s lifespan.

Now, I don’t mean you shouldn’t size your battery storage for poor solar yield days, but, even if you have double the storage capacity you usually use daily, you should intentionally allow deeper discharges some days.

Energy used now is the best energy, not a future promise (cycles). And the reality is that most of this cycle tests are done in a lab with compression. And either ways you loose capacity (ah) gradually till it fades to End of Life at 70-80 percent of original rating. Calendar aging is also a major factor to consider.

Let me explain why that happens:

⸻

What Most People Think:

“If I only use a little of my battery each time, I’ll get more cycles and the battery will last longer.”

That idea makes sense — and it does hold true for some chemistries like NMC. But LFP works a little differently, and it depends on how you define “life.” Is it how many times you can cycle the battery? Or how much energy you can actually pull out of it before it wears out?

⸻

Here’s What Actually Happens with LFP:

1. Shallow Discharging Isn’t Always Better
• LFP cells are happiest when used in the middle 60–80% of their charge range (say, between 20% and 90% SOC).
• If you’re only cycling from 100% to 80%, you’re:
• Not really exercising the battery
• Letting calendar aging (just sitting at a high state of charge) take over
• Getting very little usable energy per cycle
• Missing the chance to reset internal chemistry through normal cycling

2. Deeper Discharges Make Better Use of the Cell
• Discharging from 100% down to 20%, or even 90% → 10%, allows the battery to go through its intended charge range.
• This leads to:
• Better energy throughput per cycle
• More value from each cycle
• Still staying within the safe voltage range (2.5V–3.65V)

So while shallow cycles may give you more charge/discharge “events”, they deliver far less actual energy, and they may age the battery faster due to sitting at high voltages too long.

⸻

Real-Life Testing Shows:

Discharge Range Depth of Discharge (DoD) Cycle Life (to 80% SOH) Lifetime Energy Yield

100% → 80% 20% DoD ~15,000 cycles Low lifetime energy yield. Calendar aging will get to it before then

100% → 50% 50% DoD ~8,000–10,000 cycles Moderate lifetime energy yield. Calendar aging will also affect this.

100% → 35% 65% DoD ~6,000–7,000 cycles High lifetime energy yield

100% → 20% 80% DoD ~5,000–6,000 cycles Very High lifetime energy yield.

So ironically, 80% DoD gives you more usable energy over time than 20% DoD, even with fewer cycles.

⸻

Why Very Shallow Cycling Can Be Worse:
• The battery never resets chemically — it stays in a narrow, high-SOC zone.
• Oxidation and side reactions build up near the top (especially 90–100%).
• Calendar aging becomes dominant.
• You’re basically wearing it out without really using it.

⸻

Best Practices for LFP Longevity:
• Try to operate between 90–95% charge down to 15–20% — a good balance of depth and safety. (Pointless charging to 58.4v! 55.2v to 56v is very ideal for 16s (divide by 4 or 2 to get figures for 24v and 12v systems)
• Avoid leaving the battery parked at 100% for long periods. Like 24hrs straight with full charge voltage (cv)
• Let the cells “breathe” — regular charge/discharge cycles are good.
• Don’t be afraid of deep-but-reasonable cycles — LFP was built for them.

⸻

Bottom Line (TL;DR):

Shallow cycling sounds safer, but with LiFePO₄, it’s often less efficient over time. If you’re always going from 100% to 80%, you’re aging the battery without getting much out of it. Deeper cycles — like 100% to 20% — may reduce your total cycle count, but they deliver way more usable energy over the long run.

I run monthly investment with them, I'm actually looking at running the 6months investment plan after my current investment expires in few days time....

Simply put, full bid happens when people wants to buy but no one wants to sell

chimex38:
On Bid: Demand to buy a stock is so much that a long queue has been created and yet little supply quantity from sellers at the moment.

Full bid: Demand to buy a stock is so much that a long queue has been created and yet no supply at all from sellers at the moment.

Reverse is the case for offers and Full offers.

ojeysky:
It could be true o, because I just saw their financials and it's amazing. They moved from 750m loss to over 8bn profit with EPS of over 5naira coming from -2 naira.
It's almost on full bid already sef, so likely people have gotten insider info

High frequency, Natural cool no fans

omotoda:
Bros thank you. I just ignored because it amazes me how people openly want to extort people on a platform that isn't a sales thread. A lot of people on this platform join to see how they can commence their renewable energy journey with reasonable cost and yet some Shylock will brazenly come here and post these outrageous prices.

I know its retail price but I just ignored him ni!

Olamlag:
Was thinking of doing the module authentication from there website before accepting the delivery, for the jinko I was thinking that the transportation will be costly since it's a bigger size because I will have to transport it from lagos to osun and also it will be way pass the max pv array of the inverter which is 600 watt. the inverter is suppose to have 80ah mmpt

Dam5reey1:
Yes for sure it will make an Impact. I was able cook and Microwave at the same time, even with my going to 4 years 5kwh LFP Batteries.

If there Sun and batteries are full the Hybrid HV Inverter is happier to Supply Power from Panel Directly to Load.

Thats 2.13kw from 6X 440w panels, Battery was almost full

I will say relationship-wise, the average woman has a big edge over the average man.

If a relationship breaks today, how fast will a woman and man get over it and move on? The woman gets the edge

These are the metrics i will use to judge a broken relation -

- How fast to move on and enter a new relationship : Ask yourself, if you are in a relationship with a lady were both are faithful but at a point the relationship stopped, who will find it easy to enter another relationship at the shortest time? the woman.
While you may still be sucking or trying to convince another lady to date you, she already have a list of toasters disturbing her all these days.
All she had to do is to start picking the calls of any of them and start giving him attention then Boooom, she is already in another relationship within 2 weeks while you are still struggling to build a new relationship with another lady.

- The quality of the relationship: while you may be lucky to enter another relationship like the woman, the question is the quality?
Your Ex can easily replace you with a banker, young medical doctor or business owner quite doing fine. What is the quality of woman you are getting to replace her?
Are you living your 6.5/10 Ex just to getting a 5/10 lady as a stop-gap? how easy is it to get another 8/10 lady to quietly and easily replace her?
How easy is it for you to quietly get a lady working in Glo, Mtn, Dangote, LNG as mid to top staff to replace your Ex?
These are things that will make you to easily move on from a fresh broken relationship without looking back or stalking your Ex and been moody and depressed.
Remember, when you start dating your woman, she will try to cut you off from all other ladies all in the name of Love and relationship to avoid regular quarrels, knowing fully that if the relationship stops today, she can easily kick-start another one and move on compared to you.

- Quantity of sex: This is quiet different. Let me throw a challenge. How many ladies can you sleep with within a week excluding prostitutes or paid sex? compared to your woman? if a woman wants, she can sleep with up to 5 toasters or more in a week easily compared to a man that may still be wooing a woman within that period before convincing them to come to his house for sex. Even after coming, she may decide not to have sex with you thereby losing the 1 week challenge.
In other words, women gets sex far easily compared to men and that is why money is a game changer for men.
If i add money, the man automatically becomes the winner of the 1-week challenge because he can just order dozens of women to sleep with in a week.

Good Evening House,
Thank you so much for all the information posted here... I have read a lot and learnt many things about IVF journey.
Please, I need someone to interpret this results for me🙏🙏
Thanks

richgang:
Hello everyone, I reside in the UK . But I’m thinking of relocating to Nigeria . But I don’t know if I will be able to survive in Nigeria with my investment. My mutual funds pays me 5 million naira every 3 months . Will that be enough to make me live well in Lagos with my wife and 2 kids . Can I also live happily in Nigeria without working and just using my investment funds to carry on with my wife and kids . I’m 36 years old now .

Amya:
Hello all. Quick question please. While Investing in Stanbic MMF, can you top up your investment on a month to month basis, if that's possible, how does affect compiled interest and payouts.

Also, I'd clicked the option of quarterly payouts while signing up, how can I change that to the 'reinvestment option'
