My first lifepo4 was gotten in 2019. Battery is still kicking. Dunno if I'll get 3000 cycles, but the performance appear to be the same as in 2019. No regrets.

If you knew what a cycle means you will understand better. You will get 8 to 10yrs or more bro. Mine is still same as day 1.

3000 cycles is the least of worries or proof, as it translate to 10 years of daily 100% DOD which most user are not doing.

If you want to confirm 3000 cycles then you will need to wait 5 years more.

Bros, apart from Item 5, which may be high cost. Note I said may be because the quantity is not stated.
For me that battery and panels price na suspect, It is too cheap, I go just runaway.

And I don't know why installers in Nigeria will just be giving people quote without the brand, Which Inverter, Battery, Panels, AC/DC breaker, etc. are they quoting for? There is a reason for brand name. No be akara wey everybody dey fry and sell. Even akara some pass some.

Are the panels used?.....it's better to get a quality panel than plenty half-baked, overated panels.

Good morning to all chiefs on the forum, please I have a quick question that actually gave a sleepless night.

I just got 4 pieces 180 watts solar panels (30 VOC and 7. 6 Amp) all connected in parallel to my MPPT solar controller with my batteries too connected in parallel (12V)




But to my greatest surprise those panels are producing "24volt and 3.4a and just 60 watt max"


Please what could be wrong cause this strange to me oooooh atleast thou this is my first time of using MPTT
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by cluewebhost(m): 9:52am On May 02, 2023
Series is usually better for mppt (depending on controller max rating)

The goal is a 12v system

Because am planning of adding more panel but due to budget... Let me Sha power my 12v fan cool off small......




But the output is depressing seriously 800 watt panel producing 60watt max

This quote reeks of cheap and inferior products.

Your batteries and panels especially. Tell him to get you better products. If you can't afford it yet, it's better you chill and save more.

Good morning everyone

Abeg why is it that inverter installers always tell you not to use pressing irons? They never offer any meaningful explanation.

My inverter is a 5.5KVA with 4 batteries (12v 220AH)

Note: I've used a pressing iron and air fryer on the inverter without any issues but I sometimes wonder if I'm low key damaging the inverter.

Thanks

I've been using normal pressing iron on my 5kW Deye for several months now, a pressing iron is a resistive load and I don't see any reason why an appropriately rated inverter should not comfortably carry it.

You need basic knowledge in solar.

Your charger controller will drop your pv voltage satisfactorily only if u didn't go beyond its limit.

Someone above mentioned series to avoid long stories.

So bro, connect to 2 pv in series A and another 2 in series B. Now connect both in parallel.

Where are ur pv located?

Check for orientation as if you are trying to get a good signal from a tv antenna.

Hope u get my point?

Do the above and come back.
Ok?

By the way, give the name of your set up i.e
Battery type
Panels
Mppt

I have been using my 5kva hybrid inverter to cook, iron,pump since 2021. No issues. 5kva have enough headroom to power those loads talk more of an higher capacity inverter. Don't on all the loads at once. Whatever you do, do it at your own discretion....your inverter can power those loads easily.

Hello Juror,

See my present situation and initial plan.
At home right now I have 24# 350w solar panels all optimally placed on my car stand with right orientation during the house construction. 16# service the Nissan Leaf batteries while 8# service the BYD. On a good day they all float at just after midday.

What I'm thinking now is moving the 16 panels to instead service this EVE bank while the 8 goes for the Nissan Leaf. I have some 8 250w panels on the gen shed that I can incorporate into the BYD cells.

Now, since I really didn't consider how big these guys would turn out to be what do you think about this plan. Also, EVE masters in the house could please help chip in. Will these 16# be enough or I should just plan a whole new increased amount to still get same float around midday? I intend on connecting them through the Growatt inverter being advertised by @justcallmenuel with 100A solar charging when I have the funds to obtain it.

Contributions will be appreciated.

I think what you've planned to do is fine, though you really have to be sure that the 16 panels can float those EVE cells by midday though I'm a bit skeptical. It would help if we know the capacities of the trio, so we can make some assumptions based on how the Nissan leaf and BYD fairer earlier with the 16/8 setup.

I knew you would bring it on here. I explained to you that the park no longer stays over there because of the road they are constructing at iyanoba, so they had to move to iyana paja ( according to my aboki that took the battery there), gave you price for the delivery which you said you can’t afford. Will I be the one to pay delivery fee for you all the time? How many times have you sent Growatt inverter to me from Abeokuta to fix it for you, which you and I know that their office is in Lekki. How much does dispatch charges to Lekki? It’s 12k. But I do collect 8k to and fro from you and add the balance cos you bought the inverters from me. Did I tell you all that? NO. The last inverter you sent to me for repair, you told me to help you wrap it and send back to Abeokuta for you, that you’ll send me money for carton, which I didn’t see carton to wrap it and I bought wrapping nylon of 4k and wrapped it so it doesn’t get scratched, You wanted to send me the money but I told you to forget about it. So many things I’ve done for you as a customer, but I don’t tell you. But because of what happened this morning, you ran here to type, just to spoil my name. Chief, dey check well o

You're simply just diverting from the main issue by bringing up history which you also profited from.

This particular case is simple. He required that you deliver the battery by a timeframe which you didn't meetup with (either your fault or not), yet you want him to suffer on two counts, his integrity because he couldn't deliver to the hospital which was a life threatening situation, you want him to lose funds after he has found an alternative.
You could've simply returned the battery back to the main seller you sourced it from or even try to pacify your customer and reach an agreement which wouldn't allow the matter come here but it looks like you don't always really seem to care about your end users, they must always take the fall, especially when money has changed hands.

Damaging your batteries not your inverter, except you're using it during high yield solar period of the day.
