This is what I fear the most. Imagine spending millions of naira then one so called professional come mess your work up

The landlord has a share of the problems too. Whenever I hear or read about a client that went with an Installer to market, or went to market themselves and then wants an installer to come install, especially when the client has little to no knowledge of market tricks or installation experience, I just feel they are setting themselves up for trouble.

I recently had a client that wanted to install a 5kva, 15kwh lithium system. I was recommended to him.

I went there did audit, discussed different options bla bla bla. I drew up three different quotes later and sent to this guy, after days of market searching and what not.

After sending him the quotes, my guy said he has run low on cash and is waiting for salary for the month. Month end camd and went still no response, so I sent some messages but he didn't reply after reading my messages. I contacted the wife to ask if he was ok, she said yes that he is just having car issues and is repairing it. I was wondering why car problems will make you not reply simple Whatsapp chat.

I just went silent and went about my normal life.

Few days later, baba called that he is in Alaba, he has gotten the battery, the inverter, this, that...I was like 😳...then he said he wants to pick up panels that should speak with tye seller to confirm if they are original etc. I turned down the request that's I don't do that, especially since that is someone's business and I didn't direct him there.

Long story short, he bought fake panels (likely 250w rebadged as 400w), over priced protection devices setup, not very original PV cables etc etc. At the end of the day, he was still complaining that he spent more than his budget. I just 🤐

Eagba:

Thanks , but remove the battery in this equation. Is there a way around?
Let cloudy day be cloudy.

Put a battery. You could damage a phone or something if you don't.

Running a DC fan off PV directly is a totally different case from charging phones off of PV only. Not to talk of multiple phones

Dam5reey:


Not 260V.
we have High voltage starting at 36V now.
this is Sako 1.64KW watts panels producing 1.43KW with only 4 panels rated at 31Vmp
total input is 113V from PV

What brand of panels are these? And what time of the day was this taken?

obitobe:


please answer this questions

1. what is the battery voltage when is shows 100%
2. what is the Voc of your Charge controller.
3. how was the panels connected, in series, parallel or mixed.
4. what is the panel Voc.

I have a feeling these questions are too technical for her at this stage .

adeshina36:


Yes meanwhile have been charging it since yesterday with constant light together with Panel but still won’t get a fully charged battery

You put about 2.5kva load on your lead acid battery?!!!

How are we even sure the panels capacities are real, the size of PV cables are optimal, etc

Your installer didn't give you Dos and Don'ts for your type of system Abi na those type of installers wey de promise 24hrs on top 2 battery....wahalad.

Let me give you some tips for this battery
1. Ideally You shouldn't load your batteries more than about 500watts.

2. You should not use your battery below 50% which is roughly around that 24v you are seeing.

3. Ensure electrolyte level is within range using the hydrometer screwed on it.

4. Ensure your battery charges till float after every deep discharge

adeshina36:


The problem is I just did the setup just few days ago and I’m new to solar system but my observation for the few days is don’t take that long for the panel to charge it let say 3hrs but once it’s evening time and I try to put it on the battery is always on either 70% or 66% so I really can’t tell when it’s fully charged.

Were you told of any 50% usage rule?

He just told you it's currently drizzling. My internet has never gone off while raining but speeds gets reduced (synonymous with satellite internet). Read to understand not to win an argument.

I installed the old model PowMr CC yesterday for a boss, and with lithium battery.

On setting it up, I noticed the menu now has a D05. I used to know the menu stops at D04

So I'm curious, if anyone has noticed it and what is it's function. The manual is silent about it even.

CC @ linnov8

Attached is the new menu noticed. Anyone please?

Upgrade to a senior man's system...from 800w to 2.35kw..

Got CC from linnov8

*PV installation was constrained to be without much space underneath, for air circulation.

Images from new to old.

Working perfectly.

Total battery storage of your system is 24vdc x 220ah = 5280whrs

Total wattage coming from your panels assuming 4hrs sunshine is 5720whrs

NB: You don't even need all the 5280whrs to fully charge your batteries because you cannot drain your batteries to zero.

Thanks

Shouldn't this advice be given with a caveat? If the battery has load always on it, then the solar charging is reduced. The higher and longer the load stays on the battery the lesser the charging it gets.

Dollyak:

Its funny you talked about money but these reasons do not cohere: I am richer than you, therefore I am better than you; I am more eloquent than you, therefore I am better than you. On the contrary these rather cohere, I am richer than you, therefore my possessions are greater than yours: I am more eloquent than you, therefore my speech is superior to yours. But you are neither possession nor speech

Eewo.. 😭

2 units of Jinko decommissioned 320w and 325w panels available.

Both 150k.

Location is Lagos, but can be way billed outside Lagos.

oyetpel:
2 PCs of 430 watt at (150k) = 300k
2 batteries of 200ah at (360k) = 720k
35 meters wire of 4 mm at (3300) = 115,500
inverter = 125k
Transportation = 20k
Installment = 60k
Total = 1,340,500

This is the quote I was given, but I intend on removing one battery.

How did this go?

Mavor:
Guy man, I got scammed 17m last year. Money when I been wan use start China import side business. Since then, one kind paranoia dey worry me when I wan invest money for any project. Make una no vex for here.

Good to know you have realized your mistake. Being scammed is not good enough reason to be discourteous to a group of people you came to seek assistance from, especially where experiential knowledge is shared FOC.

My one advice, take any all in one, power solution you see with a pinch of salt. Since it's a stop gap you need, just put your expectations to around 70% of their rated capacities.

Cheers bro.

Drgreatone:

Combining in parallel defeats the purpose (I'd av to climb the roof again to reconfigure) and requires bigger wires. Using a 6mm wire already
Its a 300w panel with abt 9a of current though max i av gotten is 4.
Already mentioned its a 2kva12v hybrid inverter with mppt volt of 30-400vdc. Just feel it doesnt charge well wit solar which is why I'm considering getting a seperate mppt charger. Plan B is to add another panel and see if there's any change.

Hope they are not lower capacity, relabelled panels.

Check your panels, azimuth angle, elevation angle and shading. These three things must be as close to optimal as possible.

ksmart027:

Thanks, I just searched and saw these on jumia, is it the same fan?

I see these short blades as decorations. You want to blow breeze, but your blades short like Aki and pawpaw. Na wa.

Penuelseun:
no motor needed for that, just a small mechanical mechanism

Will still pull more load from the main rotor moving the whole thing. It will pull more power but not very significant.

redgem:


Yes, it took 2 weeks....

Ok. Thanks

redgem:


Finally got a confirmation email but haven't received a processing email yet... Will wait it out

Hi,
Have you gotten the panels? how long did it take you to get your panels?

Good day all please hownping does Fouani take to deliver in Lagos?

rainbow garden estate at imota.

Any landmark? I want to check it up on Google maps

motta:
very stable i have been using it for the past 6 months
i only scan 2 weeks ago when i heard dey have added more stations.
Formerly it was 300 + stations after scanning it became 400+ stations .

When I did mine it was 45k for total package

Interesting, please share Whatsapp contact let's chat.

👀?

motta:
why worry yourself go do free to air double dish with just a decoder you get over 400+ stations .

Are the stations stable or you have to keep scanning satellites now and again. What does it cost to set one up from scratch to finish?

odimbannamdi:


Just buy Starlink at currently promo price of 440k and sub 38k monthly. It gives more value for money
