Jefferyzz: I have this particular MPPT for sale. bought 10 in stock from the company. 300k each 1 Like |

dollarnaira: He is fine because you fail to account for temperature coefficient. He is not seeing 50volts bro. Most measurement are under STC. Remember when the Charge controller is under load, voltage drops. Yep, he is never seeing 50 volts |

[quote author=HeavenlyBang post=134340887][/quote]. We talking about a system that is 350watts x 3 = 1050 watts. Assuming 80 percent out put since most panels are measured in STC we get an output of 840 watts. Using formular of Voltage = I*R = we know the voltage (50volts) and the resistance of the wire (16.78 nΩ•m at 20 °C). Solving for current. you get ~ 17amps 4mm wires can carry up to 32 amps. He is fine with 4mm2 wire. |

Nteogwuija: Yeah. get another panel and connect it 2s2p. |

Nteogwuija: with 50v. you can only use 2 or buy another one to make it 4. You cant use 3. |

seunlayi:PowMr has a 60 amps MPPT controller. I have seen some sellers post it on this board. check previous post. |

HeavenlyBang: Thats not true.. 8mm copper is overkill. 4mm pure copper will serve fine. Unless its copper coated and not pure copper strands |

Dam5reey1: POW-HVM11K-48V. It states 11,000watts maximum input. We had a PowMr 24v hybrid which took 2x over panelling so we figured we can push our luck with this inverter. It was $800 inverter, worse case scenario. we lose it 30 pieces of 550 watts solar panels wired 10s3p. 20 pieces of 550 watts solar panel connected to POW-48140A ( HF MPPT Controller). Remenber, amps is pulled from panels. You can have as much panels you want but when the battery is full, the panels responds to the load requirement. |

Dam5reey1: The hybrid has a maximum of 20,000 watts solar input. Capacity is 10kw. I oversized by 50 percent. Its not a waste based on daily demand and sun hours. In the east, 2-3 sun hours is the most i have seen ooo.. I do have HV MPPT. Daily load is 63kw. It has been serving well. The panels were bought substantially cheaper from factory, alot cheaper than retail.. I should have stated that in the beginning.. |

ask4bk: You are looking at name plate rating which you rarely get, its rare for a 550watts panel to produce 550 watts in real life considering factory testing was done at STC... I reckon the most you can get is 70-80% of stated rating. Some people do produce that but rarely consistent. I have a 16kw battery but my daily load is 63kw. ( 8kw continous x9 hours). Its not that oversized. We came across a deal to buy panels very cheap so we did.. it was luck. Is it efficient? NO. Can you get more output from the system? YES. We are more concerned with getting consistent output despite low light conditions. Its extreme but the point of my post is to prove you can add more panels past the stated inverter rating.. My system is different than a regular user.. The project calls for eliminating diesel generator use 100% completely during the day with no excuse for rain or clouds. 1 Like |

ask4bk: 16mm is too overkill. Its a waste of money. For your next project, get an inverter with 500v MPPT. Series those panels and use a smaller cable like 6mm, use the savings to buy more panels. You can never have too many panels. 3 Likes |

maklelemakukula: LOL.. thats not true. it will clip. I do run my 10kv hybrids with 33,000 watts of solar panels connected. MPPT pulling 120amps from dawn to dusk. One year and still working. In my system, none of my systems have less than 30,000 watts of solar panels attached to it and i have 8 systems running. I can attach videos. 1 Like |

dollarnaira:Bro, those things dont die i swear.. Thats why i say its the best investment in your power system. I still dont understand the rationale for buying lead acid battery in 2025.. 2 Likes |

dollarnaira: Bro they do right now. I have 4 installed at my project in Aba. I have 10 in stock but the prices are about $200 for one. https://powmr.com/products/mppt-solar-charge-controller-140a-48v |

Ferdiwar: You are right bro. 6mm DC cable is sufficient if MPPT is 500v. Its one of the reasons i prefer Hybrid inverters. Higher MPPT voltage range requires less cable mm 2 Likes |

maklelemakukula: Buy as much as you can afford. I go by the Mantra. " You cant have too many panels". In the future, if you have money, buy more panels. Buy the 8, throw it up in the roof and see what you are harvesting. Go from there. |

HeavenlyBang: Bros, im on your side. I hate lead acid battery. Its a waste of time and money. Its better to get the smallest Lifepo4 battery, increase the capacity as you make more money than buying lead acid. A 2kw Lifepo4 battery is better than a 20kw lead acid battery. You charge faster, 6000 cycle life vs 800-1000 cycle life for lead acid. Why is lead acid in the discussion in 2025? Why throw your money away?? With solar its even worse. not enough sunlight to float and equalize the battery.. I would say , what kills most lead acid battery in Nigeria is undercharging than overuse. 2 years later, when its time to replace it, you pay way more but with lesser quality. 1 Like |

maklelemakukula: Get Battery from VALTO. better quality with actual stated value. ( I have bought 6 pieces of 16kw batteries from him). 7kwh is enough for night use Please buy more panels. I cant emphasize the importance of adding more panels. You will produce more during the day and during low light conditions like rain and cloudy weather. You can run your AC during the day and run the fan on battery power at night. Concrete and mason absorbs heat during the day and release at night so if you run your Ac during the day, you can mitigate those effects. 5 Likes 1 Share |

Nigerians won’t pay for it.. Nigerians pay electricity employees to bypass prepaid meter.. No sane company will invest in a business without expecting a return in investment… We don’t have the money or the political will to make it work without foreign investors. Foreign investors need guarantees on their money. 2 Likes |

There is no money .. Okezie borrowed heavily to pay for election and retain his seat. These guys do not care about anyone but themselves. ABIA state is finished.. |

FFK is a real Politician .. Always trying to stay relevant no matter what... He likes the attention it brings. It makes him relevant and draws attention to him so anyone running for 2019 (e.g Atiku) will try to court him which will in turn bring him ( FFK) closer to power and money .. Y'all need to read inbetween the lines and anticipate moves.. FFK knows how to stay relevant . I can not hate on his hustle .. |
