jayboskie7,
the first step to knowing what size battery bank you will need to power your load and for what duration is to do a load calculation. use the calculator in the link bodejohn gave you and you'll be fine.
Satellite TV Technology / Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by GeorgeD1(m): 9:04am On Dec 11, 2012
bodejohn: Oga George, many thanks for your response.
I already called vitus with the number you supplied.
I am thinking of using suntech panels and i also plan to use a mppt charge controller too.
Do you know any reliable brand of mppt charge controller (with the meter display grin) that i can get from vitus?


bodejohn,
go for tristar mppt charge controller. you will have to buy the meter separately though.

i'm still trying to figure out how to send some of those dvds across.
believe me, they're quite a bunch. any ideas?

Satellite TV Technology / Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by GeorgeD1(m): 9:51am On Dec 10, 2012
hello bodejohn,
its so nice to know you been reading all the posts here.

to your question, most standard 200w panels available in the market today have vmp greater than 30v.
therefore if you're using a 24v system you can safely connect both panels in parallel and your battery
bank will be well charged. however, if you have an mppt solar charge controller, it is best to connect
the panels in series (not more than 2 in series pls) as this will help boost output.

finally, please go for original sharp solar panels or suntech - if sharp is not available.

Sorry for the late reply.

MP 870 is not available for now. But should be available within the next two weeks.

ok, let me know as soon as it is available. thanks.

oluwoleode: @ George D, Odilibe and all
can you please help with HH Motor (either buy from abroad and ship to Lagos or with the location of where I can get one in Lagos).
i don't want to go for a big dish yet
thanks in advance.

@oluwoleode,
I think odilibe will be in better position to answer your question. However you can also contact microgiant. He presently has one
H-H motor which he has installed and may be able to link you to his source.

@Adex70,
The Daarsat package will be a welcome change indeed for weary sat lovers - if they have come to stay.

We all know what happened the last time and its too early to give any thumbs up.

Lets watch and see where this all leads.

@olenyi,
@Pidzo,
@brainy, et al,
We all know that a rolling stone gathers no moss. The best way to treat people who are fickle
is to ignore them. And, it will interest you to know that even those who claim to have 'gone away'
still come back to read all the posts on this thread more intently than regular posters. They are however
careful not to log in so as not to reveal their presence.

Tell me who is deceiving who? cool wink

hey kalis!

i wish i could take some of those salad and yogurt with you! wink

ok, but seriously you'd need more than that if you really want to shed those extra
pounds. you could try some aerobics. i have some work out dvds which could be
of some help in case you're so inclined? smiley

@I Hacked,
I think the Redline T7700 HD will be fine. How much does one unit go for?
Satellite TV Technology / Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by GeorgeD1(m): 6:14pm On Dec 01, 2012
yemionline,

1) if you're using a 12v systems, you need a minimum of 17v panel to charge your bank. if using a 24v system you need like 36v, etc


2) yes, you rightly noticed that i'm not really in favor of parallel battery connections. the main disadvantage of parallel systems
lie in the difficulty to get an accurate amount of charging current across all the batteries at any one time. hence you find a
situation where some batteries get more charge compared to others. over time, the batteries getting lesser charge begin to get weaker
and weaker and eventually they die prematurely pulling down the rest of the good batteries with them.

in series connection, however, this is not a problem as all batteries get the same amount of charging current passing through them

to increase amperage, either get a higher capacity battery from scratch but if not available i'm afraid you still have to explore the
option of paralleling your battery bank - as it happened in my case.
Satellite TV Technology / Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by GeorgeD1(m): 5:53pm On Dec 01, 2012

you can get a good tristar mppt charge controller from vitus in alaba.

united,
if you mean net as in mesh dish, the simple answer is no. you need a solid dish (either pan or fiber) to receive nilesat.
besides you'd be better with sizes 3m and above.

virtuoso01,
this is just my honest way of appreciating a successful deal.

i believe that in life when somebody does well you say it to the whole world
so that he can be encouraged to do better. equally when anybody does badly,
he should be exposed to serve as a warning to others.

life should not be one-sided.
