HeavenlyBang: Someone else said that too. Never seen that before or even thought it was possible. In some sort of jet/turbo mode? Or just when it was very hot? Normal use in the afternoon though. Turbo mode doesn't increase the consumption but the fan speed. |

Tdoctor: Grade A but DIY. I think my cables from the inverter to care too long. Will reduce the length. Reduce the length or double the cable if you can't upgrade to a bigger gauge. |

Tdoctor: Please can a 17kwh LFP battery be having voltage sag with a 1.5hp sumo pump? Anytime the pump comes on at night, the inverter trips. Inverter is 15KVA. Any clues or insight will be appreciated. New cells or grade B cells? |

HeavenlyBang: No 1hp or even 1.5hp inverter AC is drawing 1200w, be serious.
Yes, if it's a regular AC then you'd be right. I've seen a 1.5hp inverter ac do up to 1.2kw. |

ChngedChnges: Assuming your battery is a 12v battery pack (my guess), the capacity is 12.8v * 50ah = 640wh
Now you have a 200W panel. A PMW just like a buck converter steps down the panels output voltage to around 14.5v to charge the battery (a lifePO4 12v battery voltage is full at 14.6v).
Assuming your single panel outputs 70% of its rated power = 0.7 x 200w = 140w (very unlikely from my experience), it will take about 4.5 to 5 hours (640wh/140w) of full sunlight to charge from 0% to 100% as long as you're not using the system while it's charging. A PWM doesn't step down voltage the same way a buck converter does. |

Expert in the house, please help/assist. Thank you 3.6kwh/12v battery-500k 1kwh hybrid inverter-250k 4*500w Jinko panels-400k installation ~400k 500w/1kwh itel powertank- 310k 2*500w Jinko panels-100k installation ~250k This 2nd option won't power 3 regular fans through out the night, but it's cheaper based on your budget. Maybe one fan throughout the night is a possibility. If your fans are energy saving fans then 3 throughout the night is a possibility. |

CuteMaro: Thanks for your feedback. Where I am planning to put this, grid has been non-existent for more than a decade. I hope the PV can charge effectively during day time hours. For offgrid, i'ld suggest you put two modules in parallel for your use. Optimize your installation well to maximize your PV harvest too. |

CuteMaro: Guys please I need recommendations on Solar panel to buy to power the Itel 500w, 1kwh power tank. It is rated for 400w panels, however the only available jinko panels are Bifacial 550w and above. Is it safe to use this?
Heard Cworth 500w panels are overrated 370w, how true is this?
What other reliable options are available? I think you can use it. So long as it's not higher that the max voltage of the itel. Btw, for I have a unit of the itel power tank, and I got roughly 800wh from it powering aei sized inverter chest freezer, TV, fan and lights. It charges very fast too on grid. Starts with 500w and drops to around 200w when it gets to 80% |

Charging with NEPA sha...so I did a test on one small 300w charger and was getting about 61% efficiency.
Anybody knows a good 24v charger with better efficiency and pocket friendly?
Edit: ah, it seems it was a momentary experience. I just checked again and I'm getting 86%. But if anybody knows any good charger of up to 1kw capacity please share.
The wet days are upon us again. |

Satellite TV Technology › Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Trippledots(m): 2:07pm On Jan 07 |
dollarnaira: It was delivered today. 1.5L of water boiled after about 13min. Same volume of water boils on gas at average heat for about 8mins.
Power is about 600w too i.e 48a on a 12v system. Efficient appliances are still coming in the future.
Thanks thanks. Personally, I'm not sure much improvement can be made to resistive power loads in terms of energy consumption.. What I can suggest is to run resistive loads directly off your DC source with applicable appliances. That way you jump many of the energy conversion losses. |

However, chat GBT tells me that my idea of solar is very wrong. That the inverter can only charge the batteries through grid or generator power. That I cannot charge the battery through the inverter with solar power. I say make I come meet our solar ancestors to help set the matter straight.

Good evening everyone, and happy new year.
My attention was drawn by a member of this group to a mention of my name by INSPECTORMAX. I read through the comments and deliberately chose to observe the discussion before responding, to better understand the perspectives being shared and res
Sometimes maturity means responding quickly; at other times, it means listening first. So far, I have not seen anyone categorically state that Trippledots failed to deliver what was agreed, even based on the version of events presented.
Rather than go into long narratives, I will state some key facts about the installation, in no particular order:
The system was originally designed for a 15 kWh battery. I informed the client that we could instead supply a 16 kWh battery, locally assembled, at roughly the same price I would have charged for the 15 kWh option. After considering different brands, the client agreed to proceed with the full installation on the basis that he was getting a 16 kWh battery at around ₦2m.
The client requested and received a full cost breakdown of the installation (which was an upgrade to an older, failing system). With the involvement of his QS, each line item was reviewed and negotiated. After several discussions, we reached a mutually acceptable all-in price, which the client paid. Chat records are available.
At no point did the client expressly request an LVTOPSUN battery, nor did I discourage one. I simply stated that a factory-assembled 16 kWh battery would cost well above ₦2m, which informed his decision to proceed with a locally assembled option. He was involved throughout the procurement process and was sent a picture of the battery way before delivery was done. There were no objections regarding the battery’s appearance, features, or price, and to date there has been no complaint about performance.
Subsequent concerns raised about communication ports, internal breakers, switches, charging voltage, service centres, and warranty terms were not part of the original agreed requirements. At that point, it became clear that the issue was no longer about performance or specification, but about perceived profit margins.
The installation cost was initially reviewed downward by over ₦600,000, which I declined. After further negotiation, we reached a middle ground, and payment was made promptly. To be clear, the only agreed battery selection criteria were capacity and price—no other technical features were discusse or agreed upon.
As an added note, I supplied 535W bifacial Jinko panels instead of the originally designed 500W panels, and upgraded the PV cable from 10 mm to 16 mm, all at no additional cost to the client. These decisions were made to improve system quality, even though they reduced my margin.
In conclusion, I have consistently maintained—both privately and publicly—that what was agreed is what was delivered. The final procurement cost of individual components is not the client’s concern once specifications, scope, and price have been negotiated, reviewed, and accepted.
To the client’s credit, he did request a refund for the balance of unused PV cable. While I declined a cash refund, I offered to return the remaining cable, despite having supplied a higher-grade cable at a higher cost than originally specified. He motioned that I could retain the remainder, and I appreciate that.
I have tried to be as concise as possible while providing clarity and clearer context to his narrative.
Cheers. |
