BigDickProblems:
No I use a different product by one unpopular Josh guy lols. I don’t even understand that guy’s marketing, honestly.

He had no issue with me maxing the wattage when I asked him.

Oh, okay...better. When I move to my own house, I will overpanel, with proper setup. Better for faster charging and load...including on cloudy days.

BigDickProblems:
Yeah, I understand.

I do get 300+ watts max so far. Though sometimes I lower the voltage for healthy charging and get around 250watts on sunny days. That is enough for getting my battery full and using it on load during day time.

Are you using the EcoFlow RIVER 2 Max? I thought the solar limit is about 200+ or am I wrong?

BigDickProblems:
Nice and well detailed. Definitely, you cannot use higher load output than the PV input and expect your battery to charge.

What really prompted the question was that, twosquare’s screenshot shows that he is not using any load on the System while charging because the output was showing 4Watts or so. I would have wondered how on earth you will be enjoying your Ecoflow.

My 512Wh system with 3 pieces of 200watts charges my 30,000mah power bank, rechargeable fan, laptop, other little appliances fully during the day time when there is sun, and my battery is usually full by 1pm, sometimes 2pm, with all these load plugged in even at 12.6V (15% of the battery capacity) in the morning of a new charging cycle. Meaning that just like yours, I always drain my battery to 12.6V before another charging cycle in the morning, and at this time, I still plug my appliances except for my fridge.

No load on it, except the 4 watts you saw, which is the phone I use for hotspot. I plugged it in directly to the Ecoflow's USB outlets so that it won't die, already at 15% then. Not that I can't on my load whenever I want to really, but today, I did a major cleaning on the panel and changed the position on the roof. So, I got to know if there is a difference.

And it saved me an hour more of charging time: cleaning, positioning, etc.

Also, I have a question for you: How many watts do each panel of your 200 watts generate (max hit)?

Prepare for the week!

iamlammy:
I hit 406 before. That’s my highest. I mostly get between 360-390 on a average daily though for max input

That's beautiful. Which position is your panel facing? EAST or?

turmacs:
Go and start buying massive amounts of TON now, I see an inevitable 2x loading. I will not say more than this.

Based on what fundamentals? Mama e, no dey bobo us on this app.

BigDickProblems:
I see. That’s good!

Now almost full. Imagine hitting 400+. I may save 2 hours earlier rather than 1 hour.

I will have to wait for the 3rd rain or March, that's when I will pass judgement on my Jinko solar panel. If a single piece is worth it.

twosquare:
So, the maximum input I got today is 320 watts...1:03 pm. So, I have a deficit of 124 watts if we include that solar panels can only operate at 80% efficiency output.

I will update if there are changes...it may be my orientation too. I no even know if na West or whatever that placement is. Also, the sun orientation has changed too. I will wait till next year when sun touches where i place my generator (cos it isn't doing that for some months now)



So, Hydronium, what you bought may just be that...I don't know when you started using or how old it is, it but orientation and weather may be the cause .

So, I can say maximum I hit today at this time stamp is 341 watts. The difference is 21 watts and that I hit it faster 43 mins earlier to this time stamp.

twosquare:
12:02 pm. Attached. 305 watts input from panel

Now, I have asked chatgpt and it says: "Your Jinko 555W panel will not generate its full capacity under typical conditions in harmattan, especially if there's some haze or dust in the air. A range of 300–400 watts during peak hours is reasonable and typical for this period in Nigeria.

If everything remains favorable, you might see a peak of 320–350 watts by solar noon."

Cc. oladele239

Just hit 300 plus faster than usual, 30 minutes before the time.

BigDickProblems:
Does you guys Ecoflow get used while being charged?
I mean, do you turn on your house appliances like Laptop, Fan, Lighting etc., while the device is being charged?

If yes, does it get fully charged when the sun sets even after charging most of your appliances during the sunny time?

It depends on the load. If I turn on the freezer, with other appliances, I'm certain I will hardly reach 70%. Why? Before changing the position, cleaning and raising it a bit, highest I got was 223/250, as opposed to 350 when I first mounted.

Now, if I get 400+ between 12 - 2 pm, it will be full despite the load. So, it still boils down to the input of the panel. Just screenshot hitting 290 + at this time, which wasn't like that in the past few months, harmattan, etc.

If your load is not higher than what it's generating, you will be stuck at 96/97% if you've charged it full. As the sun sets, generation drops. Minus load from input. Just that rate of depletion will be slow.

What I do sometimes if I'm not in a hurry is allow it to charge to 100% before running anything. But if I'm in a hurry, I can switch it on now, and suffer later at night (I may only be able to enjoy few hours of light at night instead of long hours). This is because by 6:05 pm, no more input. Battery may be at 80%, so, the rest till night. I'm still able to enjoy it till 9 pm if I put on my freezer. However, if freezer is not part of the load, it can carry me till early morning or less sha, depending on what I switched on.

twosquare:
Now 254 watts at 11:00 am

274 watts around this time

twosquare:
Okay. Changed position to horizontal and cleaned it well due to the dust accrued due to the harmattan. We had the first rainfall here 2 days ago. I've decided to use an improvised mount (thick flat wood) so that there can be enough space between it and the roof. Anytime I want to make adjustments to this thing, na so so thinking because of the weight...

Anyway, I hit 150 watts this morning at this time stamp. Reason I'm quoting this. Despite the cloudy and rainy-like cloud. Can't wait to see if there will be great improvement during good sunshine and solar noon.

Hitting 200 at this time stamp. There is improvement.

twosquare:
9:20 am Now at 124 watts. Nairaland is not allowing me to upload pictures. I will upload some later at peak.

iamlammy:
It’s the AC plug connection that is wired to the house not the xt60 connector

Like he said, check the plug and ensure it's the proper amps plug you're using. Then the house mains socket too, wire, etc.

maybet081:
Please what time

The same time you posted.

NFP tomorrow should decide if we are going down down or up up. Be careful with trading so you don't get trapped if you don't know fundamentals.

Both TA and FA are important

Allow his mouth to be slippery like okro. Na so dem dey first start. E go touch am soon.

Even the crypto earnings na lamba..na demo accounts.

Clemss88:
pls make me understand?? Is this a Forex thread or crypto thread . Oga carry Forex to Forex thread and stop distracting us with all this Forex uploads

No mind am. Show us your crypto earnings, bro go dey show us Forex. If na Forex we want, we know the way. Round peg in a square hole.

You can use BitGet, Coinbase or yellowcard

Please, remove that Yellowcard.

Please suggest another one that's Naira friendly. The issue I have with Luno is their fees. You fit put 100k in it make he turn 50k when you want to withdraw upon fees.

Of course, anyone with experience and eyes will know that about ETH. It was so clear. That was so "razz", not someone saying frequently be with MM...dey play. Anyway, it is what it is...

NCANCHAIR:
Is it still wise to hold the little BTC remaining? Is there any hope in sight in the coming days?

For me, there is still hope. This is nothing. At least, one month should dip badly, then and aggressive pump till another ATH is formed. What people are really waiting for is Alt season. Will it come? I believe it will due to certain convictions I won't mention. This year is a year of prosperity.

When Trump is done with the tariffs and restructuring, then we will experience huge life-changing money.

sweetveek:
this is the most confusing cycle bro, btc dumps begining of the month then closes bullish at the end of the month but alts remains remains bearish same thing that happened January is playing again February.

Ranging. You can see the monthly candles each. The last one is February. Although I must admit that I didn't expect February's candle to be filled that quick even though it opened on a bearish note. That was too fast.

What may happen at this stage for the rest of the month may be a hammer candlestick because we just started the month, or another pushup to reach close to 110k.

Also, I don't expect ETH to drop that big with that long wick for just a normal retrace for BTC. Anyway, holders are safe.

Just know the market is ranging and play along...until they decide to send it really up.

Cc seanwilliam

You need to look at the BTC monthly candle to see where the market is going.

It's okay.

See where our VAT money dey go

He should consider AC outlets if they are the type for the Nigerian market.

I think Ecoflow produces the same products with different AC outlet shapes at the back if you have noticed.

Hydronium:
Looks very much like D2. I guess it's D3?
If so, it's a good buy.

randy01:
My chairman I can only trade with ftmo and fundednext.tentrade have consistent rule while maven is the first prop I bought.bro maven is good but their equity base drawdown is not suitable for my trading type.my trade reverse a lot before hitting TP.anyway thanks for the suggestion

I have no issues with the consistency rule anyway...I stick with the lot I am using on Tentrade. You can't use beyond x4 (400%) of your starting lot...and can't go below 50% of it. So, nothing special really. As for equity-based, it is understandable. Which type do you like?

AAVE should be a sweet coin to trade for bournvita and fried fish.

randy01:
So I have failed two prop challenge in the past.i began to even loss believe in my self.i have to take a step backwards and work on my self.so I decide to take fundednext free trial account.well I have passed the free trial account.i shall try again next week to be sure it not luck.

Get a live account on Tentrade and stop wasting time. One live account and another one prop challenge on Maven or so.
