gadgetplanetng: AC might come up at night when we enter hot season. Wait can we not put off freezer for example to power AC/microwave on? There is no heater. Also would prefer to have the refrigerator on all the time and can switch off freezer at night. What setup and brands would you suggest? |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by gadgetplanetng: 9:03am On Aug 17, 2022 |
toyeoye: Only the AC would run your battery bank down to 50% in like 4 hrs (estimate) You'd need more batteries too - or use fans at night |

NiyiOmoIyunade: Noted Oga Niyi. ![]() Though the brands i have listed maybe a bit on the premium side, permit me to align with @zeestone99 earlier statement that quality solar products don't come cheap. However, in my experience what pains customers the most is paying for budget products that don't last and in the long run end up costing the customer more money to replace. A penny wise pound foolish situation. You see large installations costing over N1M using budget chinko products that the owners end up regretting. To avoid stories that touch, they have an opportunity to contact authorised resellers of quality products and manage their budgets accordingly. I will however take your advice and drop links to some good quality chinese products that offer more value to our budget diy solar community. LifeP04 people on my radar next. 7 Likes |

Lol I'm actually avoiding recommending brands. I think people that install a lot of systems and monitor them long term would be in a better place. For me, I have: Auxano panels - 350w (I got them from the company as my previous panels I got from 2 separate dealers here weren't performing anywhere close to sticker capacity Easun Hybrid Inverter - low idle power (your model might consume enough for a refrigerator just being on), no need to buy separate charge controller, compact LiFePo4 battery pack - Can discharge to 80%, should last longer than normal lead acid, consume less space and more aesthetically pleasing. High Quality surges, fuses, breakers and co (especially because of the inverter) An experienced installer can give better recommendations toyeoye: |

Lagos sales@ebnltd.com +2349087464000 https://ebnlimited.com/ Monbat is a UK brand of AGM batteries sold by this reseller.

Trojan Batteries Eauxwell Nigeria Ltd 81B Oduduwa Crescent, Ikeja GRA, Lagos 07039481061 07039481062 http://www.eauxwell.com/ Looking to buy the Rolls Royce of Lead Acid Batteries, then look no further as their authorized dealer dey for your backyard. Go to their office or give them a call to confirm prices and availability. That's all for Team Lead Acid for now. I mainly provided AGM/VRLA batteries because for me they are more maintenance free and convenient than gel/flooded. Most of the chinese lead acid batteries flooding the market now are knock offs and will not last long. Better to "enhance" your budget and get named brands. If these batteries are out of your budget and your looking for gel/flooded batteries, you can try out the Simba/Luminous range of products https://www.thesimbaden.com/ or EastMann range of products also https://eastmannigeria.com/. Both have offices on their websites where you can check out their products and get a warranty. Team LifeP04, we are up next. 17 Likes 2 Shares |

You may have misinterpreted my message boss. I actually do not support this action but again it is an open forum and there is freedom of expression so ... In the very long run, the end result may turn out good overall, in the short run you may have caused much vexation and consternation for a lot of good folks. I am primarily an RE enthusiast so when I look at the matter dispassionately, I can only shake my head, smile and observe. There are interesting days ahead. samir101ng: |

For Team LifeP04 who are interested in purchasing either individually or in a group buy for Lithium Ion Phosphate (Prismatic) batteries, here is a list of reputable suppliers on Ali Baba who can supply you original batteries for your next solar setup. This is list based on recommendations from the DIY Solar Forums https://diysolarforum.com/ with reviews by people all over the world who have purchased their batteries including the Youtuber Will Prowse. Another Youtuber Andy from the Off-Grid Garage has also bought from such suppliers. Some of the suppliers listed can ship directly to Nigeria DDP (Direct Duty Paid) via ocean shipping to a warehouse in Lagos where you can go and pick up or via freight forwarder who will ship on your behalf. Be prepared for long wait though of over 90 days in some cases before your shipment arrives. 1. Shenzen Luyuan Technology Ltd https://szluyuan.en.alibaba.com/?spm=a2700.9114905.0.0.BLMWsZ My top rated supplier. Why ? Because they match and batch the batteries by internal resistance and use Grade A LifeP04 EVE Cells directly from EVE. This comes at a premium however but you are guaranteed that your batteries are the cream of the top of cells. They test and ship the batteries DDP to Nigeria to warehouses in Lagos and Kano. Chat Amy Wan to get a quote. 2. Docan Technology (shenzhen) Co., Ltd https://docantech.en.alibaba.com/?spm=a2700.9114905.0.0.BLMWsZ Another top rated supplier of LifeP04 cells. They do not have a freight forwarder to Nigeria though but you can make your own arrangements for shipping or they can recommend one for you for shipping to a lagos warehouse. Contact Sandy Zou to get a quote. 3. Shenzhen Basen Technology Co., Ltd https://basen.en.alibaba.com/?spm=a2700.9114905.0.0.BLMWsZ Premium LifeP04 cells available at affordable prices direct from an original supplier. Contact Ms. Gloria BASEN to get a quote. 4. Shenzen Qishou Technology Ltd https://qiso.en.alibaba.com/?spm=a2700.9114905.0.0.BLMWsZ LifeP04 cells supplier with over 7yrs experience on AliBaba. Contact Ms. Amy Peng for a quote. 5. Shenzen Deriy New Energy Technology Ltd https://dery.en.alibaba.com/?spm=a2700.9114905.0.0.BLMWsZ A newer supplier on the LifeP04 block but with good prices and availability. I believe some Nairalanders have had business with them before so will appreciate any reviews they may have. Contact Ms. Selina Li for a quote. So, there you have it Team LifeP04. All these suppliers listed above are on AliBaba with reviews and ratings. Kindly fully register on AliBaba with your address and ID if you intend to do a purchase. Multiple payment channels are provided so pick your choice. All types of LifeP04 cells are available from 105ah, 160ah, 280ah(LF280k), 304ah. All suppliers specify Grade A cells but i can only personally confirm for Shenzen Luyuan. Contact them and start the conversation. Cheers. Dropping some charge controllers and inverters next. 27 Likes 5 Shares |

NiyiOmoIyunade: Okay. I understand where your coming from. Information Asymmetry as you earlier stated. However, as a fellow enthusiast and considering the Nigerian environment we live in, i felt it a public service to release such information. As you said, i have no skin in the game and i believe the market is big enough to accommodate everybody. More information means more sales in my opinion as buyers are more informed. Getting ripped off and supplied low quality equipment has been a recurring issue plaguing the adoption of solar in this country and it shouldn't be so. My extensive research on solar has been for over 5yrs now and so felt a need to share and help out to point people in the right direction. 14 Likes 2 Shares |

Recommended inverter size will be 3-3.5 KVA inverter but sadly this where all your information stops, as without the hour of their usage there is no way that your solar panel and batteries size can be effectively determined as you may end up with a system not properly sized due to the above. If you can update your. A4. Paper with two column showing daily and night hours of usage then, your journey just dey start proper. SoftHeart: |

WCUB3: WCUB3: Forgive the waiting. It happens at times. But people here are usually always happy to chip in ideas. For your second question, it is very possible and doable to connect another MPPT in Just make sure that the new MPPT SCC is on an entirely different solar array, not the one that supplies the hybrid inverter. As per your first question, such inverters with the specs exist. People who have used same or vendors who stock such will likely answer that question. Error corrected. |

samir101ng: Trust me I know customers than you do. I give up many deals because customers think some products are too expensive. They don't seem to get the need for quality product or after sale service. They rather go and buy from a novice then come online to ask series of questions that will only leave them with multiple answers and most likely another mistake. Sometimes all you can do is watch. |

So I have this battery pack salvaged from a hybrid vehicle. I was excited it was going to be lithium hoping that there will at least be a fair offset of the money spent for a replacement battery for the vehicle. I was shocked to find out that Toyota has all along in their hybrid models used NiCad Hydride batteries, even for 2010 models o. So what I have is just Nickel Hydride cells. Bad market. I later researched and found out that full BEVs have preference for Lithium while the hybrids seem to have penchance for Nickel hydride. No wonder you tube videos are replete with DIYers that have repurposed Nissan leaf and Tesla batteries meanwhile you will hardly see any videos of Toyota prius, Highlander hybrid or lexus hybrids batteries being re-purposed. But I still wan use the battery sha There were no videos of teardown of this particular model battery, so I decided to go "vawulently" on the tear down with the help of a welder on my street using his grinder. I measured each cell pack and found out it ranges between 8.53v and 8.7v. So now the problem. Shey BMS dey for this kain battery laidis àbí I just dey waste my time? ![]() ![]() Please ideas will be appreciated. 1 Like
