You are very correct. U truly are into solar. Many customers prefers installers that gives a cheap quotation. I do encounter this problem always. The funniest thing is that they still run to me for help after installing a cheap solar system from another installer. One thing with me is that I do not compromise quality. If u can’t afford my quotation, it’s good u find an installer that will do a cheap job for u and u cry later. So I have my reputation. All I have installed for boldly recommend me.
Now imagine using 4 panels of 280w for two 200ah batteries. Except the user is using very few load during the day. 280Wx4 is 1120w. And panel is not 100% efficient. So u can not generate up to 1120w power from that panel. Let me stop here to avoid long note.
Thank u for ur input, u know the work.

Wow

At least if no money for lithium battery one should get with cell instead of dry cell

NothingDoMe:
Yes the rain helps. My problem with rain is sometimes you get something like the picture below.

I guess it becomes a problem as the solar panel ages and several layers of dusts acccumulate

bassdow:
...and could go bad in less than 1-week if not properly handled

Compliant:
True talk but the mistake I made was buying 2 200amh dry cell battery should have gone for 2 200amh lithium battery as a friend said it's more powerful and easy to maintain or so

Was also told dry cell battery life span is around 2-3 years while lithium battery is around 5years but I dont know how true it is

adler777:

You are the urchin here not me. The same stupldity I spoke of is what you are perpetrating. You can look through my post, I will never support Tinubu, Atiku & even Obi.

Obi was a PDP member for a decade, he was part of their system, I don't think a change of party means he is now a saint. He has no antecedents and I see him as a hypocrite.

Also, like I said earlier, most of you have bad mouth and will NEVER garner the support of other Nigerians by insulting people on a daily basis. I would rather vote for Sowore than to vote for Obi.

GeorgeD1:
brother,
it's actually bad practice installing flooded lead acid within your living space. if you have a
verandah, consider moving the batteries there. just build a metal cubicle to shield them from rain.
you can leave the inverter itself within the house. the only downside will be your long cable run from
battery to inverter. better safe than sorry. besides, the corrosive effect of h2 gas may be unnoticeable
initially but over time, your electronics may suffer for it. just my thoughts.

Dam5reey:
No mind them boss, even Some of the Sealed lead acid dey release gas.

dollarnaira:
Haaaaa

Open your windows ooooo.
Ppu still open windows widely.
So na only village dem dey open windows down?
No b everytime b ac o. Open your windows to push out other gsses. You need it.

samnaija:
Cross ventillation in simple terms making a pathway for air exchange. If you like place it sitting room , dinning room so far there is air exchange, simple open window, it is ok.
mine was originally placed in a veranda outside, I had serious problems with dust, rain and rodents.
When I got more batteries I placed all the batteries in shed with one window wide open, so far no problem , no dust, no rain issues and no rodents..

samnaija:
I don't understand, so an open window is not in Nigerian houses

samnaija:
A very ventillated area of your house is okay. So far there is cross ventillation , tubular batteries can be placed anywhere indoors.
Preferably close to an open window. None there less it is ok indoors.

dollarnaira:
What of the air you inhale outside the house.
Certain things are just too "overly exaggerated"
Your opinion though so no qualms

contease:
Greetings everyone...

Just something to share and perhaps, any further enlightenment on this...

Considering the concern on the gas emitted by Tubular batteries and due to my constraints on having to assemble my batteries within the flat, I had to use H2S gas tester to be sure if it triggers but it didn't even though the batteries are in an enclosed make-shift cabinet..

So to makeup for the heat up, I had to install a fan that serves as an extractor and I could tell, the temperature therein is pleasing...

Does anyone have any objection to the whole concept please...

See image.

Dam5reey:
Nope as I switched on the Grid, It switched to NO battery mode as it works without battery.

It was PV (High VOC)that was trying to wake the BMS, but it went to fault after 2 tries and says no battery.

And worked without battery

Dam5reey:
Just to add based on Daly BMS i use, if LVD is reached you will have to disconnect load for few seconds for BMS to restart, last time this happened my inverter went into fault mode as it tries to wake BMS but Discharge FET is off so its seeing No battery.

Incase of HVD, there is no issue.
Inverter stops charging but still have Battery connected as it still see battery with Discharge FET turned on. See attached

Chichilas:
Check the moniker well, you would know my problems.

earthrealm:
Do enumerate please, so we can all learn
Hv 3 units running for over 2yrs now

Chichilas:
Stay away from sorotec revo ii. Can’t even begin to enumerate the problems I am going through with a brand new unit less than 6 months old.

Stick with growatt or get something better

drizzypat:
Hello so today my tech engr came in.

He said it's the inverter he turned it on and there was a spark sound from the inverter itself, he then suggested to have it fixed that it'll be favorable

My only issue now is will the cost to have it fixed not be up to half the must inverter itself?he said it's a board thing.

What do suggest guys..

Spend to fix or result to getting another ...

I'm talking on a long TERM basis

I am completely off grid!

Hello boss,
should have messaged you but i said let me do research on the sorotec you mentioned,
unfortunately cannot really find any video reviews of it in action, except the advertising ones by the manufacturers
the only thing i see so far is that it needs 120V before the CC part starts to work.
Is this true? If yes, it could be up to 10am or 11am before it kicks in??
Remember that this is for inverter --> panels connection (without batteries)
Can you shed more light on the workings of this inverter?
Thanks

Hybrid600:
This is a clearance sales thread and not politics.
Please y'all should kindly move this political discussion to another thread.

Thank you

Trojan8:
You have deep rooted issues that you don't know of yet. Someone asked people to vote wisely, you wrote what could pass off as a novel asking people not to vote for Obi.

Yet you claim others are venting and shouting. It seems like you type a lot without grasping what point you are trying to pass across

Xmen149:
Please can anyone recommend rugged lithium battery with good efficiency..am looking at 10kwh to 15kwh

Thanks all

Messaging you!

hello house, i am looking to get a hybrid inverter 24/48v depending on price point.
looking to get one that can work without batteries because batteries will be coming in from Docan and that will take a while, because they just resumed; and i cannot wait.
so basically, the inverter will be paired with panels.
please provide specs especially max VOC and max charge current
i dont want a very sophisticated one like the Victron, something that is reliable and works is enough, smart enough to work with lithium batteries and panels, bluetooth/wifi and lcd readouts are a plus. reliablity being more important than any bells and whistles.
thanks. so if you have inverter and the panels, i will purchase in one go.
thanks again.

Happy Sunday to everyone!
Please, I need help from experienced installers, users and DIYs.

I am planning to upgrade my inverter system, am looking at buying a 5KW Hybrid inverter (with solar DC input of 450V minimum), I have read of so many brands, I am trying to leverage on the experience of the forum to know which brand and model is considered stable, low idle consumption, compatible with lithium battery (future plan), low failure rate and the cost is within N250K - 350K (slight increase above budget could be accommodated for value and reliability)

Experienced seniors, pls help with brand and models based on experience, these toys aren't cheap anyone, one has to choose wisely. Thanks for your suggestions.
