I'm kinda regretting my blue carbon lithium battery purchase now actually. The voltage drops to the 24v LVD too quickly based on my loads and considering I have a total of 24v 400ah

MontyNG:
Evening guys,

Is there a device that allows me to monitor my solar performance. So allows me to see energy generated, the load, battery voltage etc

So a separate and passive monitoring device (separate to the inverter)

Thanks.
Hope such a device exist and if not, WHY NOT

Timekeeper452:
please can someone explain and guide me further on this?

samir101ng:
And risk a kazeem solar installer or the time and energy needed to put together and monitor such a system abi ?

Bro, it's too much work & time for "me". And there are plenty mainstream consumers like me in the market that prefer an alternative to DIY.

Cost & setup was a major barrier for new entrants tempted to switch over from AGM & Tubular Lead Acid batteries to LifeP04. LifeP0 need a BMS, compression (depends on user), different charging profile, etc. Generally, it needed more attention than the regular AGM or Tubular. With a server rack battery, you have an all in one unit ready to go. It comes with a BMS in built, capacitors and wiring harness for the batteries, bus bars, etc. To put things into context, check out this video for the installation of a 16s LifeP0 280ah EVE battery install https://youtu.be/iUuRRhLegrY. Fam, all this na work nah. Why do all that if i can get the SOK Server Rack Battery and install it good to go. Another context to look at is the price too. The SOK 48v 100ah Server Rack Battery is currently on pre-order for $1,739.99. A battle born 48v battery equivalent will cost you $3,196 at $799 per 12v 100ah a piece. That's a huge cost savings and makes it more attractive to buyers. The SOK also comes with a 10year warranty and its serviceable by the user which means you can replace any faulty cell yourself. .

This is serious. I was hoping I will get 16 hours of power supply.

If I am to have 16 hours of power supply, what do you think the cost will be?

oliverwrites:
Found this thread via Google. I need a solar system in my house.

I wonder how much it will cost me to get a solar system that will power 1. One 2 hp AC, a deep freezer, one fridge, three TVs, one ox fan, one laptop for at least 16 hours per day.

I have a budget of 750k will this suffice? And with solar do I still need to charge it with nepa or generator? I need a quick answer.

I need some quantities of good quality 18650 3.7v Lithium cells. Please who can recommend a reliable seller with reasonable price to me?

MontyNG:
Truly LiFePO4 cells? What else could they be? Damn... You scaring me now. So what is a good source of lithium batteries? I avoided getting Felicity because of the exact same reason

felaliveson:
Is this panel truly 300W and is it a good combo?

MontyNG:
Hi folks,

I just bought a pair of Blue carbon 24v 200ah lifepo4 batteries to replace the gel batteries on my 24v. 3kva hybrid inverter paired with 8x 250 watt panels

Setting it up now on my hybrid inverter. The documentation that came with it is not very clear.
So here is how I've set it up with my hybrid inverter

Charging voltage: 29.2
Float voltage: 27.2
Low voltage disconnect (inverter): 23.5v

How do these figures look? If I know the LVD of the BMS, it will help me set the LVD on the inverter well. But don't know what it is or how to find out.

Any advice please?

(P.S Most installers will just install the battteries without setting these on the inverter. The guy that came to install was clueless. His boss was just murtering technobabel and saying I wouldn't understand as I'm not an engineer and don't understand lithium batteries.

Evan65:
Is Gacia battery a good product? Please i need names of good battery brands in the market and also an answer to my question...Thank you

Michaelondon53:
Is this battery a good buy. Someone wanna sell for 50k each he claimed they are fairly used 150ah each

Michaelondon53:
I bought both batteries for 80,000

blockgeek69:
Please house, is there to set my inverter to start the low battery alarm at $11.5 v instead of the current 11.1v

blockgeek69:
Please speak in simple terms, I am new to these inverter things. I only installed my 2.5kva last week

smallsmall:
For the sake of Openness, l think the person you are chatting-Up should also let you know that he is a SELLER of the same Product he is talking to you about.
There is something they call "Conflict of Interest", which may come up in such discussion.
He should have issued a CAVEAT earlier.

BTW: a Phocos 5KVA Hybrid Inverter costs around #500K. It can be Paralleled (expanded, if the need arises).
There are prices of 7KVA upwareds on this thread, if you read back pages or go to the websites of the Dealers/Manufacturers

Just be careful, so you dont enter Express unknowingly.

blockgeek69:
I recently installed a solar inverter system with the following setup:

1. 4 solar panels (each 300watt) = total 1200watt
2. 24v inverter system
3. 2 units of 230amp battery
4. 60amp PWM charge controller

My load at max capacity is 500 watt and could go as low as 300watt during midnight hours.

But I noticed that my battery charge depletes faster than its charging, is it supposed to be so? What i mean is, my battery could be 26v after fully charged with no load, but after 4 hours of use, it falls down to 24.5v even when the solar panel is still charging the system.

So I am beginning to wonder if this is normal or there is a problem with my system configuration or the charge controller itself since i am using a PWM cc.

Please gurus in the house, i need your input.

Michaelondon53:
yes batteries reads 14.3 , 14.4 daily sir (I.e whenever I use the solar panels and 13.9V when I use nepa.
Sometimes I use the two simultaneously, to quickly get full charge whenever there is nepa
Charging parameters : solar panels alone when there is no light. And both simultaneously (solar and nepa ) when there is nepa light

Bolatitodavies:
Plz can i chat you up on whatsapp? Abeg b4 they send me go village, i dont know the model hes willing to give me oooo but he stood on 5kva for 500k+

Bolatitodavies:
I have luminous 4kva inverter already with 80amp felicity mppt charge controller with 4x220ah and 9x350watts solar panels, so my new technician is advising i switch to hybrid 5kva adding 180k extra to my 4kva inverter nd mppt charger which i feel im being robbed. Insead, i feel with 180k extra, i can get hybrid 7.5kva instead or is he offering me a good deal?

gadgetplanetng:
Interested in the reason too

His load is less than 1000w

Bolatitodavies:
Yes my load less than 1000w, why i asked was cuz i feel my technician wants to charge high for 5kva when the money is sufficient to buy 7.5kva. Is there any 5kva hybrid that costs 500k+?

alstacs:
Kindly shed more light on this.
Even if the 4 batteries, at present, are sufficient to power his load load for over 24 hours? And the size of the inverter is to accommodate future expansion of the battery bank?

Bolatitodavies:
Can i get a hybrid 7.5kva to run 4x220ah batteries instead then with 9x350watts panels and please who can give good and durable hybrid inverter brands to work well with my luminous batteries?

earthrealm:
Yeah, they are rugged, and thus cost slightly more than their contemporaries, thus people shy away from buying them

Thunderbolt:
Trying to get a relatively cheap hybrid inverter.
Could someone kindly recommend which I should go for between the 2 brands, MUST and FELICITY?

Thanks

CavendishPlex:
It's quite unfortunate. That was the only bank giving us joy.
