Valto:
remove microwave, electric stove and electric boiling jugs, budget 4million upwards. with all these loads then
budget 7 million upwards

all those loads are needed please just let me know what it will cost for all those loads

Aloysius10:
after this 10million naira will there still be anything to pay for again as far as it generated steady power I don't mind in the business I do I make about 3million naira every month at least so that's why I said I don't mind about this price that's about 3 to 4 months income I'll really appreciate if you can be straight forward and tell me how much steady power supply for those stuffs I listed including water pumping machine as well will cost me I'm in my home town and there is no NEPA light here that's why I want to have my own steady power supply either getting a good gen or solar I don't know which is best that's why I'm here asking I've seen some gen on jumia but don't know if those that goes for a million naira can power all those stuffs

Lol, contact @Olopan or @Niyi if you are truly ready.

I believe this should be of help was from axpert VM III to US3000

Good morning house.

I need help crimping a rj45 cable to connect a pylontech up5000 to an axpert VM-III inverter.

I have tried a cat568A straight through cable and a cross over cable without luck.

The pylontech manual is confusing and Google searches present many different options too.

Please help with the correct pin out.

Thanks.

Kindly download and file the attached documents
To better understand your energy usage, also you can adjust all listed item and add other not listed little things too

When confused kindly state difficulties in the doc.

Aloysius10:
I don't mind about the cost I just need a steady power supply also with water pumping machine as well just let me the cost thanks for your reply

Yes, I have tried olopan and he delivered diligently kudos to him

The Big Players in the Solar Industry are gradually jumping in on high voltage in order not to be left behind. Victron is now out with a High Voltage Charge Controller 450V/100 & 450V/200

What about price?

If properly designed you shouldn't need to pay for anything after the install.

Just ensure you get the following.

1. The battery is lithium ion.
2. Separate microwave and other heavy equipments to a different inverter/battery setup.
3. Your PV installation is not less than 10KVA per flat.

One with 4 trackers can take up to 28kwp.... that's huge! Now remain for them to serve that capacity inside an inverter i.e hybrid inverter

Because if you're so principled and rigid to the point that you become averse to change, you'd gradually become irrelevant.

The market was leaving them behind. It's a good business move.

This is what made me abandon my beloved MorningStar. They did not keep up with the pace of innovation (Lithium support was poor and risky due to controller in danger of blowing up if BMS randomly disconnects battery and also the software side of things stayed clunky and dated)

I have not installed a MorningStar charge controller in 2 years. Only Victron equipment. I still cannot believe it.

There is one other rugged looking CC, Outback abi FlexMax; I love that brand. I hope they upgrade too.

I continue to do 3s with high VoC panels with the Victron 150v CCs

The capacitors inside the Victron CC are rated for more than 150v, the ambient in Lagos where we do most installs is higher than 25°C and the available solar illumination/irradiation is less than the standard reference.

This is one of those cases where one is playing on the very margins of what is possible.

I once consulted for a site who used 4S with smaller sized panels because they were locked in with available equipment and number of panels - we used thinner cable and longer route than required to achieve a suitable voltage drop so that what got to the panels was well within spec. You simply have to understand the specs and tolerances well to play safely at the edges.

To buttress your point, I've used 4s configuration for many years now using my 255W Canadian Solar panels on my Midnite Classic 150. Truly, it has HyperVoC which permits PV voltages of 150V + (bank nominal voltage) but I never get to 150V despite using 10mm² cables over a distance less than 8m. Highest I've seen is 132V; lowest about 90V. I'm contemplating trying 5s

Is that voltage range affecting your harvest? You might end up frying your CC.

Don saipro your temptation dey sweet me ooo

Good evening house,

Please my energy meter has one of it's internal components burnt ... A resistor, I need someone with a similar one to kindly take a picture if the exact resistor so as to have it replaced.

Attached below is a pics

Thank you

I have checked but was amazed to see that mine was already charing. Will read it with a multimeter and revert.

Henceforth, I won't leave it plug in except to read wattage of appliances.

Probably it is a 100ohms resistor bc it depicts the following colour codes

Wow, you try oo, Are these cells actually worth the stress, I see most DIY moving from these to Lifepo4.
