Is this solar street light the type that is always dimmed at night and resumed it brightness whenever it senses an object?

It's a type I'll really like to buy.

By the looks of it, yes. I bought 350 watts type of these to naija - all 8 of them and they were bright enough on the property I used them on. Only ended up using 4 of them to achieve good level of brightness in total darkness.

They have a 12, 8 and 6 hours timer or auto timer on the remote controlled. Mine I left on auto. Will come on around sundown (6.45pm or so) and go off by 5 or 6 in the morning). They really are good. Here's a pic. . .

thanks for your submission, my plan is to get 24v Lifepo4, and the said inverter , but i need inverter that is budget friendly but durable, since i will be spending more on battery.

I'm not sure if Saint2ace means their Modified Wave Inverter Series with that charging issue. But what I know is that the 12v850va of that particular inverter that someone I know uses with 120ah LFP charges quite well and in very short time fills up the battery. 20 amps charger for a 120ah LFP is a fair combination.

Where I think I will perhaps agree with saint2ace' charger complaint is the fact that if your NEPA voltage or generator voltage is low or outputting some funny frequencies and you have the inverter in online mode with appliance plugged in, the inverter will bypass, prioritizing powering the plugged in appliances over charging the batteries, so you effectively end up with an uncharged or suboptimal charged batteries after a few hours on low mains voltage. But that problem does not occur with full 230v from the mains,

I used that particular inverter with a lead acid 12v100amp battery a few years ago and that is my experience with it.

With Deye you don't need morning Star which is an external CC unless you plan to run over 6kw PV array. Though common Deye is 5kw and 8kw.

Someone advertised a MPP earlier, you may grab that if it's not yet sold

Meanwhile, my inventory so far if anyone is interested.

LG Double inverter AC X 2.
2 X 1k watts street solar lamp.
2 X 350 watts street solar lamp.


The plan is to maximize all things on solar as much as possible and automated. Or at least minimal human input when up and running.

Up next, should be an inverter, a hybrid inverter. Fingers crossed.

If it trips off then it's doing it's job unless you are saying it's tripping off at the current it's not rated for
It's an AC breaker rated 100A and my inverter is hybrid with a 70A MPPT. Once the sun is bright and the MPPT is charging in the range of 20 to 30A in bulk, the breaker trips off. Any charging current below that, it won't.
The panels are 9 in 3x3 stings. Each of them is 260W, Imp 8.82A, Vmp 31V. The cables are appropriate and were even revised just to be sure. The only option left was to change the breaker to the appropriate DC.
NB, a similar breaker within the same box on the AC side works fine.

What is your PV array capacity

Going for hybrid like SMK or growatt with some added features is something to look into

The breaker trips because it is an AC MCB doing work of a DC MCB

I want to understand something, your said MCB was placed where in the DC Circuitry?

1. Before inverter PV input

2. Between inverter and battery

This is one of the reason I suggested u read from the beginning to the end. U will learn from people's past experiences with what you want to procure. Getting a bigger kva inverters get ready for battery leaching, while the inverters is in standby, has for Ac inverters like I said read people experience it is all here.. most complain that the inverter ac was not performing has expected some changed back to normal Ac...do your research very well. Pls read.,.....

LOL � @ read from the beginning. I was passively active here from about 2013 9r so till I had some set back and I went off. I started reading from the first page again over 2 months ago, I'm still far from finishing, not halfway self. I am somewhere about June 2017, and a don tire lol. I've decided to jump to the last page and move on.

The tripping breaker is between the Solar panels and the charge controller. And it is AC instead of DC.

Since it is between panels and CC, kúkú bypass the AC MCB by connecting the input wires from the panels into the same corresponding output wire screw socket on the MCB. That way, the current goes direct from the panels to CC and you can take your time to source for a proper DC MCN without creating for yourself an unwarranted "power holiday"

I have a brand new MorningStar MPPT 60A for 230k

Although the Morningstar is an excellent charge controller, you should first lockdown your design choices (you mentioned Deye hybrid in thesame breath) before you take the plunge and choose an external CC.

For a professional commercial grade installation, I still prefer standalone CCs and inverter but there is a very valid use case for the hybrid offerings as well. Last last you get what you pay for.

The hardship observed on this thread is proving that going solar offers even more gains in the Nigerian context. Anyway we can get a poll of how many people here use solar to cook and what their induction/electric cooker power ratings are like (for newcomers who might be interested)?

I'm about to setup my first system of 2 x 12v x 230Ah Genus tubular batteries with TriStar Mppt 60A, 1600w panels and 24v/2.5kva Prag Inverter or Ipower.

This system will majorly power freezer and fridge.

I intend to fix the second system of 2 x 12v x 230Ah Genus tubular batteries with Morningstar Mppt 45A 1200w panels and 1.5kva inverter soon.

This second system will take care of light load (lighting points and fans)

Gurus should please help me with the following questions:

1) Btw 2.5kva Prag and Ipower, which one has modern adjustable battery type selector switch/voltage setpoint which will match my Genus tubular batteries and cc?

2) Considering the panels size with Mppt 60A CC Max and the losses, do you think getting up to 2000w will be ok?

3) Who knows the ideal voltage setpoint of Genus tubular battery for adequate charging?

@ NiyiOmolyunade, is your Morningstar Mppt 60A still available?
