10kva inverter is a no no for just 4 pieces of 12volts x 200ah batteries.
Any installer who gave you that option needs to be shot @ sunset...and shot again @ sunrise if still found moving...

Its your proposed load that will determine the size of inverter you buy.
Those inverter you posted, hope you know they usually have a high idle consumption.the bigger the inverter kva, the bigger the idle consumption.
Most.hybrids hv lower idle consumption
Slow down comrade

He has a very valid point. A lot new entrants into renewable energy make a lot of mistakes by buying this useless batteries because it is cheap. Someone would have given them a quote for a solid battery,but price will make them opt for these cheap batteries mostly
Gel.
If the marketer is giving you a 12v 200ah for 80k. Run for your life, these are fall back batteries that marketers give customer when you reject their original battery quote .

Due diligence is required.
That's the issue. Cheap Marketers though. For me it's either you deal or you don't deal. I won't give you anything less.

Brotherly, It's saddening to read someone typing "you won't make heaven" like we're in any way right to judge any soul on earth. Rebuke that line. The market is wide enough for research outside this forum before transactions.. I sometimes smile when i remember there are some old members who went oblivion due to some petty talks here as life doesn't start or end here.
Let love rule. You'll make heaven by God's grace, Amen
Such person is just ignorant and his words don't mean anything as he has no power and The almighty God don't reason as such. Ignore their feeble talks. He that can learn should learn.

It is people like you that won't make heaven. I was the one who bought those sunfit batteries and before I got them I came here to seek for reviews from self acclaimed experts like you but everyone went mum maybe because I didn't contact you for quotes. After I got you started saying it's fake.

Make e be fake. I go use am like that.
My broda. I can't see all messages. Many of this things have been discussed in previous threads. It's not that easy answering same questions you have answered previously 20 times over. The one I see I give my fair share of ans. The ones I don't see someone's else ll. To b honest I didn't see your question. We learn everyday, it's not the end.

To me sha solar is still affordable it depends on wat u want to power. No b everybody wan power electric iron, kettle, hot plate, ac, and the likes. Most just need sth to push light, tv, lappy etc.

I still feel uncomfortable for someone to get an installer to install a 12v system. Why? No b to follow instruction manual or online diy?
U r misunderstanding me sir. I'm not talking about the size of the project but quality of materials/equipments. There is a certain minimum you shouldn't go below if you don't want headache and you want value for your money.

GloriousGbola:
i cannot overemphasize the frustration most of us experience with dodgy hustlers

i stopped using inverters in 2014/15 because i got tired of battery whackamole. this set lasts 18 months, next set last 6 months. because they are batteries, there is no way of telling if they are used or not. all you need to do is clean them up, tweak and sell as new
and then you have the people who rebadge 100ah batteries as 200ah batteries

so yes, i think we would all like connects to reliable sellers [with caveat and disclaimer because, las las, na still naija we dey, and i have seen character vaporize on this platform]

even on nairaland the trend i have always seen is after a client is frustrated and calls out a dodgy vendor, after the issue is resolved, the thread goes down the memory hole , so the vendor is able to continue as before with another unsuspecting client
When people complain of failures of equipment I just laugh. You cannot eat your cake and have it. Many will come request for quotes and will tell you it's too expensive, next thing they will get something cheaper(mostly from people that cannot offer after sale technical service) that works for a while and then pack up. I will say this again, solar power is not cheap. We already addressed this in previous threads.
2 to 3 pages back, someone just bought sunfit batteries, some will buy that stupid yohako controller etc and that's because it's cheap. Many users here just want to eat their cake and have it. If it's too cheap just run.

Did you activate your mi account while you had the phone?
This is very important. I was lucky I did. It turns out Xiaomi has very strong security. My sec fone got missing January and I found it 2wks ago. I was called to the police station.
It turns out the guy has been trying to unlock the phone and he couldn't till he met the last engineer that set him up and got him arrested.
After my fone went missing. I locked the fone online and also sent a message to the phone screen inputing my numbers too should anyone find it, he should call. The engr saw the msg on d lock screen and knew it was a stolen fone. He set him up with the police.
When I unlocked the phone everything was already wiped though but I have backup on Xiaomi cloud. Gallery, notes and all.

We don't have mains supply for now. Will check later when the mains supply(NEPA) is back. But I have been off grid for the pass one week now.

2. No, no bypass installed, all goes tru the inverter except the larger appliances

Hello good people, I came back home today and met my fridge not working. Checked the socket and found out that both positive and neutral have voltage on them. I traced it all the way to the inverter (Felicity ivps3524). I then disconnected both Ac output terminals from the Inverter, switch back on the inverter and both positive and neutral AC output have voltage on them.

Has anyone experienced this?
Try it on bypass. Did your installer install a bypass?

The fact that it is a clone actually makes it less performing. I guess it depends on who you ask. Would you compare Fangpusun to Outback, Schneider, Morningstar, Midnite or Victron?

Techfine mppt
So I had an experience with a clients mppt.

Not all these mppt are mppt.

When I got there I measured with my clamp meter. And there was a 28 to 30a difference.

The particular Mppt controller is rated 80a and it was showing 70+ Amps on its screen. When I measured with clamp meter I was measuring around 40 amps. The gap was wide. We went to his house to measure the other one of 100a and we got same result, which is around 30a deficit. Home and office controller useless just like that.
I just gave him 80a fangpusun flexmax for the office and he testified good result even in poor weather. It's expensive but then you get value for your money.

So when you get controller of unknown brands do your checks very well. Below is a picture of the said mppt.

Best you go for an inv erter with editable charge voltage settings,
Luminous doesnt have that setting, so a deal breaker for me.

If its normal sealed leadacid you intend to use..you cud be fine, but if its flooded battery...then its important you get an inverter with the functionality i explained above
Gbam. Apart from the charge settings, lvd too.

1. By Avr's, do you mean stabilizer?

Because the main source from NEPA is connected to 5000VA Century stabilizer I bought last year.

2. By spd's do you mean Surge Protecting Device?

All outlet except electric stove are connected with D-Marc TV Guide

Please answer yes or no according to the two questions above
1 - yes. I assume the 5000w is powering the whole house.

2 - no. The tv guides are basically a kind of avr. Since you don't have solar. You can buy ac SPD

I appeal to both parties to please seize fire!

@ZeeStone99:
I seriously doubt if a client would come to a public forum like this to air his discontentment with a service if he isn't pained or incur losses or inefficiently served. Remember, at his first post, he didn't mention your name, so I think he never meant any harm to you nor your brand. He was expressing himself until you identified yourself and came to your defense.

Please NOTE, the issue here isn't about your technical competence, but a third party component which many variables can account for is the crux of the matter.

There's no installer who has done quite a number of roof works that hasn't damaged client's roof before, some times extensively. I've replaced asbestos roofing sheets for a client before.

So many of us still hold you in high esteem in the midst of all of this.

So, brother, simply APOLOGIZE to the client irrespective of how you feel and let this matter rest.

@FireTheSun:
Oga, abeg, no vex!

God bless us, all!
I am not denying there were leaks. Wen we had that issue way back, both parties came together to resolve this issue. This is as far back as 11 months. If he still has issues, cant he reach out to me and we discuss how to fix it as men. I don't run away from repairs. He didn't tell me anything until wen he made that post. Infact it was when he made that post I'm just knowing he has issues.

I will call him and send a roofer to access the damages.

Thanks for your input.

The pastor has a lot of issues with women. Definitely something is wrong somewhere. Because how can a particular pastor be called out by several ladies within the space of few years. We ain't stupid nah....

Meanwhile, the spiritual controls the physical. Only naive and ignorant folks would doubt... I've seen what the physical can't control so i know wetin i dey yarn... I didn't say he did it, neither did i say it is spiritual. I only stated the fact that the other realm is bigger than mere eyes.

NOTE : If you quote me and i don't reply you, just know you said rubbish. Niggas like me gat no time!!!




As our Ancestors would say "When you're not sure of something, don't doubt cos what you don't know is bigger than you".
I agree with you about the pastor but I won't exonerate the women. They are not kids, they got favors, they got money and different kind of enjoyment, they kept quiet and claimed small geh big god. It takes two to tango. My opinion is all of them should getat.

So based on the above discussion on Lithium versus Lead Acid Batteries.

Here are my choices

1. Quanta AGM 12V 200AH x 16
2. Deka AGM 12V 200AH x 16

3. Lithium - which brands do you recommend? I just saw Pylontech mentioned

In fairness to the thread, I have not really read past posts on this issue, I know I will need to do that.

My questions are:

1.Which brands do you recommend and why?
2. What is the difference in cost between 1 and 2 above and the 3 that you recommend.

Thanks.
I won't do 16 lead acids due to the following reasons
They can be prone to failure if not sized and balanced properly.
Lead acids are limited to either C10 or c20
If one battery has issues you will be forced to replace the whole 16.
You have to worry about your battery getting float charge everyday.
You will drain only 50 percent
Occupy space etc

You can try pylontec or other cheaper lifepo4 brands
