DUNKA: I got a quote of 70, 000.00 per panel from Mr. VITUS when i called him on d phone. gurus kindly advise if dt is a good price or can I get a better deal. dunca, i think that's about the best bargain you can get for suntech 280w right now. some peeps even sell for 120k and above. except maybe you want to go for joy solar? |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by bodejohn(m): 5:11pm On Aug 21, 2013 |
George_D: That's a wonderful deal, i could get a 1.4Kw solar panel array with my budget. But Oga George, that means it is about 250NGN/Watt, that one smell like fish o. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by GeorgeD1(m): 5:16pm On Aug 21, 2013 |
bodejohn, well, these prices keep dropping everyday so don't be surprised. when i started, almost 5 yrs ago, i bought a 200w sharp panel for a whopping 190k! can you imagine that? |

fikfik: fikfik, you must maintain the same cable length for all your strings else the purpose of the combiner would be defeated. use the length of the farthest as your standard measurement. as for the location, i can only advise that you should study your environment and choose what you think is the better option. if security concerns prevent you from locating it outside then i think you better leave it inside the house. remember that the combiner, inverter and battery bank should all be installed in one location as much as practically possible to prevent voltage drop and power loss. |

all, it was a rather dull day today with occasional flashes of sunlight - very much like it has been for some weeks now. seems we finally entered the thick of the rainy season here. however, i'm pleasantly surprised to see my charge controllers still able to hit green despite this unforgiving weather.

nice. with the shunt what is the highest dc current that can pass thru thanks bodejohn: My DC power meter final arrives... |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by bodejohn(m): 9:20am On Aug 22, 2013 |
TotalGreen: nice. I currently have a 100A/100mV shunt connected to it. The meter by itself can handle up to a 10A current without a shunt. |

George_D: prag servo, still on holiday!Please wanted to find out if your Prag servo stabilizer is connected to carry the whole load of yr house or did you remove some heavy loads such as waterheater, cooker etc |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by TotalGreen: 1:34pm On Aug 22, 2013 |
Thanks, Does it keep history of records, I need something that can keep records for at list one week How much does it cost bodejohn: |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by bodejohn(m): 1:57pm On Aug 22, 2013 |
TotalGreen: It was about 300 Euros without shipping charges. It has a Rs485/Ethernet card with monitoring software which i have not tried out yet, so i cannot yet say categorically that it can save history or not. The manuals are bigger than 200Kb I would have uploaded it. You can send me a PM and i will forward the files to you. |

DUNKA: Please wanted to find out if your Prag servo stabilizer is connected to carry the whole load of yr house or did you remove some heavy loads such as waterheater, cooker etc hello dunka, the prag servo does not carry the whole house load. if it did i would not have been able to switch it off like the way i'm doing right now. as you rightly guessed, the water heaters and cookers are all connected to public power. that being said, every other house load is being powered from the inverter, namely the deep freezer, fridge, water pump, tvs, fans, home theater, lighting, etc. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by DUNKA(m): 7:54pm On Aug 22, 2013 |
George_D:Thank you sir |

all, another dull day here but a green day nevertheless for my charge controllers.

no sun? no problem!

sukam's power cut timer seems to max out at 99hrs, so looks like unit has reset itself during the night. now 7hrs afresh and counting!

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by bodejohn(m): 8:40am On Aug 23, 2013 |
George_D: no sun? no problem! Oga George, what is the combined total of your solar array now? |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by GeorgeD1(m): 4:38pm On Aug 23, 2013 |
bodejohn, my brother i have lost count. maybe i need to climb up and count to be sure but i think i'm getting close to 7,200w name plate power. |

Dear All, my panel spec is below. Output power = 260W Vmp=34.8V Imp=7.47amp Voc=44V Isc=8.09amp If I connect 2 panels in series strings of 6 (12 panels) that gives me (please correct where wrong): Vmax= 68V Imax= 44amps I have a: 48v battery bank (2 banks)interconnected with 16mm 9ja wire 45 amps MPPT Charge controller 24m from the PV array PV array connected to solar charge controller with 6mm Nigeria wire Three 100VDC circuit breakers connected to positive line from PV array and +ve from battery banks Is this setup optimum?? Thanks |

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by TotalGreen: 9:22pm On Aug 23, 2013 |
No. for a 48volt system, it should be 3 panels in series strings of 4 (12 panels) fikfik: Dear All, |

George_D: bodejohn, 7200W , wow that is massive, hope to move up to that level one day. I bet you could add Air Conditioner to the load if need be, the energy harnessed from the sun should take care of that most especially during the day, that could come handy in the dry season For instance, I have tested 1 1HP AC with my 3KW set up during the day and the system just harnessed the needed energy from the PV stepping up the instantenous KWs. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by feasy1(m): 12:04am On Aug 24, 2013 |
fikfik: Hi fikfik, As it has been stated earlier its always good to have breakers installed for obvious reasons. Please do note that the my system has the breaker installed too. The AC disconnect and Battery disconnect has been integrated to the system and has switches on the left side of the unit. Cheers |
