In the business of inverter, you get what you pay for. Just checked out my Suoer modified Sinewave Inverter and a random transformerless pure Sinewave inverter. The portable oscilloscope just showed me what I already know. Lol

It is possible. Did most of mine myself. Got a very good electrician to help with the heavy lifting and physically tasking parts like climbing roofs

passion8,
welcome on board and glad you finally made the decision to take the plunge into renewables.
i assure you, its a life changing step you're about to take for which you will be forever grateful.
yes, absolutely. you can install your solar system by yourself and this is what the thread is all
about. almost everyone here is a do-it-yourself solar enthusiast apart from a few marketers just
here to make a few bucks who don't contribute anything to trending topics.
as for the cost of a complete setup, that would depend on what load you want to power. you
can forget about the estimated 1.8kva output and just list what loads you want to run based on
their wattage and other good members in the house will weigh in and offer suggestions how
you can go about it.

Good day my oga's,Pls can I use 15v 8a adapter to charge 12V 25ah LIFEPO4 BATTERY

ojeysky:


Does the adaptor have a display to indicate voltage? If yes then you can but not for long. You need to stop charging once charge voltage is approaching 14v

ObabyObaby:
Thanks you my oga,the charger doesn't have display,but the battery has display, What of if I should use 14v 8a adaptor will it ok

1. Has anyone here ever used 150w all in one solar street light with 4G camera?

2. Does it come with it own panel?

3. Can it brightness be sustained from 7pm to 6am?

4. How does it perform on raining season?

5. How good is the inbuilt Camera?

ojeysky:


Actually my apologies I just saw that it's an adaptor you said and not a 15v charger. Sorry none can work.

ObabyObaby:
ok sir,but is laptop charger

ojeysky:


There are some videos like the one attached on how you can reduce the voltage. I have not tried charging with a laptop adapter before so can't provide a definite advice on it. Others may have experience

wow … so Na square wave this thaine dey produce so….lol

Passion8:


Oga GeorgeD1, I salute you sir. I'm encouraged by the way you made it clear on this post.
Concerning the load I wish to power with the solar, it's a 3bedroom flat. I just wanted to power the lights which are all energy saving including hidden tape lights in the P.O.P ceiling plus electronics i.e tv and two standing fans. That's all.

2. Does it come with it own panel? YES, just above it

3. Can it brightness be sustained from 7pm to 6am?

4. How does it perform on raining season? Like every other solar related products, raining season will affect it too

5. How good is the inbuilt Camera? 1080p I believe from what I saw,

olopan:
Yes oo,

That's why you keep them away from your sensitive equipments

NiyiOmoIyunade:
You might consider a Raspberry Pi and install the Victron Venus OS on it. That should give you all the functionality at a fraction of the cost.

With a Pi you also get ease of integration with your home automation.

Be ready to get hands on to get all to work seamlessly.

Saipro:

And here's the DIY option. Cheapest and most fun. Hardest to implement but way more flexible. Be the lord of your own setup. You would still need Victron USB cables (the DIY cables are often unreliable).

Oga, I'm at your back.
Update.. ...

netotse:

I'm not afraid to get my hands dirty, I already have home assistant running on a PI, the issue I have is how to get into the Multiplus. Had to run HAOS because it's a Pi3 I have and a supervised install kept freezing. I have another Pi I want to use as a media
