There might be a reason why your installer is going the 24v route. 24v systems are less prone to battery failure than the 48v. You will need to compensate for that by installing higher amperage mppt controllers. In most cases two units or more depending on how large the system is. Just go back and do your assignment on the panels and controller size.

Thanks @zeestone99, we increased to 100ah mppt controller, also increased the panels to 300watts x 12.

Will keep the house updated.

if you are still insisting on 24v, I think you will be better off using 2 80a mppt charge controllers, one CC will be great if you are going for 48v system

You will need between 2.2kva 24V inverter - 3kva 24/48V inverter.
Just as someone as advised if you can give an estimate of how their usage is in hours during the day and also night time, then it will a long way to briefly give you what will match your needs

Bros take it easy just sell your products. Real grade is Eva grade the best? I think they have improved on their capacity even though it's not up to yet.

This back and forth on Felicity batteries is not even up for debate. We have listed the pages of several sellers of Grade A LF280k EVE cells that are used in electronic vehicles like Tesla. Chat them up on Ali Baba and ask them how much to sell you the same capacity of cells, BMS, casing for these LifeP04 cells. YouTube is littered with tests on LifeP04 cells by Chinese manufacturers who sell their products en masse everywhere they can. Three things stand out for me. The use of Grade B cells which are being recycled from other previous applications and so have reduced life cycles, the nameplate capacity of the batteries not being delivered in real world use compared to their claims and poor customer service from Felicity Reps when it comes to repairs and servicing of faulty equipment. But because LifeP04 has some advantages over the mass market lead acid batteries we have in the market (higher DOD & faster charging), we accept every manufacturers claim at face value. The knowledge gap in the solar industry in Nigeria sometimes is shocking reading all the comments newbies and some sellers post here. Felicity has an advantage of selling a different battery technology with great advantages in the market right now, it doesn't mean that you are getting your moneys worth. People with clamp meters, multimeter, smart shunts have done capacity tests and even opened a battery showing refurbished BYD cells here. But hey, it's your money and your choice.

Pls does anybody know of a very good brand of chest or upright freezer?

A popular local brand I got few years ago just packed up. I decided to visit their showroom to get a replacement but to my astonishment, I discovered they are now selling generic China made products rebranded with their own brand name.
They obviously decided to throw their reputation and quality to the gutter for monetary gains.

You may want to consider Panasonic Chest Freezer in particular
CH150 Panasonic 150 ltr Chest Freezer whose price range is between ₦90,000.00 and ₦120,000.00.

If you don't mind spending much more then get their 500L or 750L tall fridge/freezer combos, the 500L will set you back north of 300,000.00 while the 750L will set you back north of 400,000.00

But then you are assured you spend good money to buy a product that is guaranteed to work very well for the next 7 to 10 years without issues.

The truth is that the Nigerian economy is in reverse gear, and very few of us can afford to buy based on quality, the majority buy based on price, so the sellers supply/market what will move

spot on bro, there must be something in the air or water in this country, cos the level of reasoning is too rudimentary, similar scenario played out during the lithium vs leadacid discussion, full stockholm syndrome @ play, instead of getting off their ass to do basic research, majority started attacking the very people who came to give them knowledge and liberate them from the shackles of ignorance that hold them captive.

Those who said lithium batteries were better than leadacid battery were vilified and called names, accused of having ulterior motive.

I have been following this discussion and nobody has called anyone names.
I have watched the original YouTube video that exposed the "fraud" by Felicity. What I am hoping to learn is that if that was a glitch (a defective batch) and why were they not recalled like they do with motor vehicles or is it Felicity company policy to consistently and fraudulently over-rate their batteries?
It will add to body of knowledge if an expert like you have done a capacity test on recently manufactured Felicity battery.

That some of us allow false news spread doesn't mean we don't deal with raw facts .. I wouldn't want to drop one or two on a couple of product so it doesn't spoil the market ..as usual marketers must sell their products.. but those who know quality .. know the real deal on lifepo4 both global ranking and quality

Wouldn't want to drop a couple of list.. wouldn't be nice.. but you can push for It so I can drop a couple .. this is 2022 ranking.. something is cheap and commonly placed doesn't make it Top quality so you know.


Just so you know.. pylontech actually designed the lifepo4 incorporated in the jinko Elss All in one currently in the market..


Reason I hardly value much talk


I see a lot of products being posted and i choose to keep mute so companies can successfully market their products to their target market.. We still have the likes of Narada, shoto , byd, leaf by Nissan, battle born .. we can keep listing..

Like I said " talk is cheap " Don't start wildfires you can't keep up with ..
If i say make we expose things for industry ..matter no go funny ..

I have zero intention of derailing this thread but I suspect the brand you have refused to mention.

Let me share with you why I have zero plans of buying another product from that brand.

Money is hard to earn, I want my money to work for me, the least years of service I should get from a fridge or freezer is 10 years, anything else is unfair. At 390,000.00 that is 39,000.00 a year, at 490,000.00 that is 49,000.00 a year. Forget the upfront cost, at those prices, you are getting a fair bargain.

Here is what a former assistant Chair, Department of Electrical Engineering at Wright State University between 1999 and 2009 said about that brand on Quora.

General Electric no longer owns “GE Appliances.” The entire manufacturing complex, in Louisville, KY, is now under communist ownership by a Chinese company called Haier. Haier-Qingdao purchased GE’s appliance division in June 2016.

Haier felt the U.S. consumer would balk at purchasing communist built appliances. As an attempt to disassociate “GE Appliances” with its Chinese ownership, they pay General Electric a licensing fee to continue to use the name “GE Appliances” and to stick the GE logo on each of their products. They do not advertise, nor attempt to make public, their ownership of GE Appliances. But if you pull up the GE Appliances website you will see in small print that Haier is now the owner.

Word is slowly getting out of Haier’s ownership of GE Appliances, so they started a new campaign and place “made in America” stickers on their ier is known forsappliances. If you go to Lowes or Home Depot, you see these on their machines.

It is true most of the larger appliances are still made at the former GE plant, at least for now. Haier is talking of slowly phasing out production of their appliances from Kentucky to their manufacturing facilities in China due to the great reduction of labors costs.

If you are not familiar with Haier, they became famous for selling the cheaply built compact (mini) refrigerators at discount stores such as Wal-Mart. Haier is known for several things, but quality is not one of them.

Whirlpool Corporation is a U.S. Company based in Bento Harbor, Michigan and has manufacturing plants in the U.S., Mexico, South America and Europe. Nine of their major appliance plants are in the U.S. In fact, the dishwasher plant in Findlay, Ohio is the largest in the world.

All brands of appliances have reduced quality over the years, from my perspective. Whirlpool still takes pride in their machines, parts are easy to get and they are relatively easy to repair, as a rule. I would stick with Whirlpool myself. I have a new Whirlpool refrigerator and it is virtually flawless.


As mentioned Haier was not known for quality, and as they phase out U.S. production of appliances to China, the quality of GE appliances may suffer even more. If you purchase GE Appliances you are sending profits directly to communist China..

By the way Whirlpool products appear under several trade names: Kitchen-Aid, Maytag, and Jenn-Air to name a few. Often the core mechanisms are the same with just a different logo on the machines, or a few different features, for each of the brands.

Postscript: Would it make sense to assume that Nigeria would be a target of such cheap devices that are not meant to last as well?

dont be deceived by the picture. it is lifepo4, just that they mostly use 50 or 100ah cells and it might be laid flat.
