dragnet:Remember that all positive/negative head of Mc4 connector has same shape, so it will be impossible to fit 11 panels positive/negative connectors together, when it being connected in parallel way... check the diagram below.

Continuation Few weeks after fixing the sukam Inverter, it started making something like a buzzing sound mostly at night time.. Cause of the buzzing like sound can be faulty fan or lost of voltage(from battery to inverter) We had to check all that but everything was okay... At that point we advise our client to get a new inverter(different brand though (we are major distributor of the brand product. Panels, inverters, Charge controller, Tubular/Gell batteries and AVR  ) for 100% satisfaction)Note: The previous 4 batteries that was on the sukam system was later connected back(in parallel) with the new 4 gell batteries we bought, the run out time of the system was increase drastically. Pic1. New inverter Unboxing carton Pic2. New inverter in place Pic3. New inverter installed (check 5kva nexus inverter with same 5kva sukam inverter Connected batteries with 10mm wire cause of increase in amps, due to the parallel connection. Installation successful.. Next 1.5kva installation in Enugu...

Inverter installation Remember we are still on the 5kva installation. When will initially started the installation we meet a 5kva sukam inverter and 4 Gell batteries. The batteries has completely run down(drained), the 500w panel on it was bad, the main(nepa) section in the sukam inverter was also bad. We had to minimize cost by fixing the mains problem in the inverter to enable it charge the new 4 set of gell batteries we bought, couple with the 5500watt panel installation in place. Pic1: working sukam inverter after main repairs Pic2: Sukam inverter before opening Pic3: opened sukam inverter Pic4: Faulty power section removed for repair.. The inverter was Totally change later(we suffer for this work sha) 1 Like

dreamwords:Most of our installations we make use of panel rack or rails. Some things that hinder rails or rack when installing.. 1. Client budget: Some project have very low budget funding, so in the course of reducing items, some things need to be cut off, but the system we work as intended. 2. Availability of space: Some roof are just too small to accommodate all panels with rack or railings. Our installation are been paid "installmentaly". Most client bargain to an extent, our profit will go in for the job... |

OgogoroFreak:i will update on that, we meet it there, the client already had that installed... That su-kam started giving us issues From main failure, which was fix to loud buzzing sound.. I recommend all new devices for installing, before a client will think you don't know what you doing when the previous device you meet there start giving issues |

I will update on the inverter and the challenge we encounter when it was installed and was later changed entirely... Stay tune... Drop a question if you need detail explanation.. |

We had to use two charge controller Rating 48v 90amps each The panels were segmented to two portion to accommodate each charger controller.. 1. Reason for two Charge controller was the unavailability of the normal rating for the installation 2. The client needed the installation done fast, so ordering from lagos will be time consuming. 3. The product we using is very reliable

Panels unboxing, The panels ratings are 250w 30v 9A Total wattage is 5500. 6mm wire was used to link panels in series and parallel Total panels installed was 22.. Panels have high efficiency, cause of the 3 tabbing wires on panel surface. Normal installation challenges are hotness of roof and the right place to step on.. Check Pictures below.

5kva installation I had to ignore the 3.5kva i wanted to update earlier, I will still write about it later on. The 5kva installation was challenging, due to the fact that the client already had 5kva 48volts su-kam inverter installed and 500watts panel to charge the system. Eventually the installation failed and the 500watts panels was just too small for the system and was wrongly position to get adequate sunlight during sun peak and set. |

7.5kva installation Check the picture below From my explanation so far, who can state the Voltage of the inverter and how many amps is the whole batteries connected.. Tips: The batteries are connected in series and it's 12volt 200Ah for each.. Modify: 500 hundred naira airtime to the first person to get it correctly (Just to encourage you guys) In the next 24hour i will answer it...

dragnet:breakers are used between panels and changer control and main(Phcn) and inverter.. so if am right you want a breaker for the panels and charger controller? There are situations were breakers are used, not on every installation. |

dragnet:1. What's the purpose of Earthing of panels (To protect the device from lightning). The buildings around my panels installation are higher and they got a lightening protector, before the lightening will get to the panels the house Earthing system will proctect it. 2. Have already explained it before, the battery voltage determines the change controller voltage to use(since my batteries are 96v the charge controller most be 96v to able it monitor the batteries) the panel determines the amps. Adding more amps space is for the safety of the Charge controller. Please take note that the 10% i stated is for emphasis purpose, it can be more but should not the lesser or thesame to the amps the panels are supplying... Please are you an installer... |

dragnet:1. The initial Earthing of the house will cover my panels installation 2. The charge controller is acting as a surge protector too.... Remember our charge controller rating is 96v 80amps, while the panel connection is 120v 72amps, if the intensity of sun is at is peak, the panel produces more Voltage which is then convert to amps, and will already have more space to accommodate extra amps . Note: Your charge controller should have atleast 10% increment of amps than what your panels are producing, to avoid damages to the charge controller or fire out break. Thanks |
