SOLD, Thanks

MrReeseG:
Hello Everyone!

Quick one, can anyone help with a quick rundown of how much this setup should cost?

"Inverter 1.6kva
*Battery 230AH/12
*4 no. of Solar Panels(150watts)
*60amps charge controller
*Battery Rack and DC Cable"

Jefferyzz:
I'll b quoting prices for u n if u need contact.. u'll get them here
1.6kva inverter - 40k... Buy from valto
Battery (200a 12v) 190k-210k... I'll recommend Lifepo4... Ask valto for price
2 350w yinglin panel.... 76k each.. check out their number on Google or go-to their office in opebi
Powmr 60a mppt... 61k.. sold here on this thread.
No battery rack needed for Lifepo4 battery
Cables
14awg cable for ur 2 panels connected in series... N700/yd and 2 mc4 connectors (2k)
4awg or 25mm 2k+/yd cable for battery to inverter n charge controller to Battery conncertion
U'll needs AC &DC MCBs, SPDs.. u can ordee these ones on AliExpress or go-to alaba to buy them. Arenas prices are high. N while buying them b mindful of their amp rating.
If u can.. earth ur panels.
There are other expenses. But e no much like the ones listed

MrReeseG:


Thank you so much
A solar energy consultant is trying to sell me that setup I wrote there for 450k (+ installation). I wanted to know if it was a good price.

Obnoxious2001:


The only way we can tell if the deal is a good one is;
1. Ask him to state the wattage of the panels and and it's conditions 4 panels of 150w each
2. how long has the battery been used. 4 months
3. Your location (price differ by location. In delta state it would be a good deal). lagos

I would like to hear other opinions anyway

Took 4 units each of the 330w and 540w series of these panels.

They do look good. Sizes look real for their capacity. I can't believe the 540w is well taller than me... . Na money to take mount them i dey find now... .

Will update the house about how they output when I hang them.

samnaija:


How far , are we on today .

Valto:
VALTECH range of pure sine wave 12v/24v inverters(no inbuilt charger)
12v 1000w 29,000
12v 1600w 39,000
12v 2000w 48,000
24v 2000w 49,000

12v/24v 30A dedicated lifepo4 lithium battery chargers available also
we can waybill to any location in Nigeria
whatsapp 0802-057-4628

Valto:
it is a little over priced at 450k+ bro. and it is some months used. 300k is a fair price.

odimbannamdi:


Sincere thanks for the patronage, boss. I appreciate

I promised to return with updates. Doing so now.

After many wahala with Oga landlord (baba insisted that i sign an undertaking that I will be responsible for any damages resulting from the installation and removal of the panels), I eventually mounted the 4 units of the 540w panels on the East side of my roof 2 weekends ago.

Due to the inherent limitation of my current 12v connection, I was advised not to connect all 4 panels. So, the installer connected only 2 in series to my battery system, and left the remaining 2 (also connected in series). I had told him that I will be upgrading to 24v very soon, so he promised to return and parallel the 2s connection when I upgrade to 24v.

Brethren, even with just 2 panels in use, my batteries (2 units of 160ah FAT Full river lead acid batteries) floats before 1pm with normal sunlight and with my 80w fridge, 70w 55" Hisense smart tv, 3 Qasa DC ceiling fans, about 8 units of 5w bulbs and a laptop being charged intermittently.

The thing just be like jazz... ...I have been kicking myself since and wondering why I didn't make this move much earlier. When I upgrade to a 24v system and connect the remaining 2 panels, I am definitely going to have more energy than I can handle...lol...na to find money buy lithium batteries dey my mind.

Attached are pics of the installation and some readings I took from my CC. I took the reading when my CC was fluctuating and trying to find a "sweet spot" though.

Just as Oga Monlo was testifying the other day, I also bless the day I ventured into 'RE. Though my first foray in 2018 was a catastrophe as I lost money and 2 of my binatone fans, I thank God for giving me the courage and wisdom to return in 2020. The quality of my life and those of my loved ones has really improved. Our productivity has trippled as well! I can't imagine how my life would have turned out if I didn't have access to constant electricity. I also thank you guys for providing a strong support system in this endeavour.

ojeysky:
A pack of 8 brand new 230ah Eve cells still available @80k each. Reachout if interested... Make a 24k pack or 2 units of 12v packs.

Valto:
few pieces of these items are also available at affordable prices.
different type of JBD and DALY lifepo4 BMS available
Brand new DEYE 48V 5KW HYBRID INVERTER available
few pieces of 50ah lifepo4 lithium battery cells available

Jefferyzz:
It's advisable u look elsewhere. Its used battery n nobi u use am. U can't tell if d user was mindful of the rules tied to lead acid battery. D battery might av suffered in d hand of d previous user.. that was y I recommended u going for Lifepo4 batteries. I can't see any charge controller in the picture so my best guess is the inverter has inbuilt CC which might b pwm which is not ok for the type of weather we av these days. That 450k hes asking for with a little change will build u something new n decent. Plus u can set it all up ursef. It's a 12v system afterall.

ojeysky:


Lead acid can deteriorate within a month and since you don't know whether the original user maintained the charge/discharge precautions with lead acid I will not advice you go for it. The story will be different if it was a used Lifepo4

Valto:

Assembled with high quality brand new EVE 230ah lifepo4 cells, DALY Bluetooth bms and thick metal box. Oga Valto how much will fully assembled 12.8v 230ah LFP cost?

Also, is "lifepo4 lithium battery fast charger" required when tbb 1.2kva inverter with 40a will be used?

NiyiOmoIyunade:
What you call 'double effort' of cabling is actually a critical code and safety and operability requirement.

There is something called voltage drop which happens when you pass relatively large currents through a cable and this is the force you are working against - uncompensated voltage drop can make your battery undercharge and/or reduce the useable energy Wh from the battery.

The kosher thing to do is to run CC cable to battery busbar and seperately run the inverter cable to battery busbar. If you must share DC cabling between the inverter and CC then you need to upsize the common cable gauge to be enough to carry the combined maximum inverter and CC current without overheating and with minimal voltage drop and yet this practice is strongly discouraged.

This CC appears to be attempting a very rudimentary Ignore AC for battery/solar self consumption algorithm (mimicing ESS like behaviour) - you are better served using one of the hybrid inverters which make DC solar energy directly available on the inverter AC bus or implement thesame logic this CC attempts with a cheap AliExpress battery sensing (LVD) relay. Essentially your CC is switching the Grid supply ON/OFF - this is very coarse control because what you really want is solar (and sometimes battery) priority where you source only the balance of energy that solar (or battery) cannot provide from the Grid.

NiyiOmoIyunade:
Lithium chemistries can deteriorate within a week if the current/last user did not maintain safe charge/discharge parameters.

Infact, if my understanding of the matter is correct, some Lithium chemistries suffer irreparable damage/degradation if discharged below a certain voltage just once whereas a lead acid battery very deep discharged can still have significant capacity restored if attended to on time.

I hope the 'Lithium is superior' pundits can focus on my core message which is below;

The advice to OP should be to find a reliable method of performing a health, capacity and unit balance test on whatever used battery pack he is being offered because a health assessment is par for the course when buying any used items.
