coming here to figure out which product/model to buy is very difficult, i always leave getting more confused

please who can suggest a good lithium or lifepo4 battery and inverter within the budget of 1.5m for both

was thinking 7kw battery and 3.5kva inverter

swagifted:
Professionals in the house pls what is the difference between "hybrid inverter" and "transformer hybrid inverter".

icjunior:
Can I get yingli or Era solar panels?

Are they good options?

isangjohnson:
Does standing hair dryer machine have compressor?

FEGEITOK:


When the guy you quoted went full throttle, I was almost tempted to disclose that I once into networking. Until I discovered that true money does not lie in that part of IT and changed gears and thank God I did.

I know another guy who has become a billionaire from the switch. Hopefully, I will get there someday.

RipVanWink:


normal hybrid inverter doesnt contain large heavy transformer...so they are usually very light in weight, 5kw 48v hybrid is about 12kg, while normal non hybrid is over 35kg, transformer hybrid has toroidal transformer insde, which is somewhat smaller and lighter than the normal transformer in non hybrid inverters...so such may be weighing a lil below 25kg.

transformer based inverters are better at survirving issues,spikes, surges etc...than non transformer based

NiyiOmoIyunade:
All power electronics derate for temperature and this has nothing to do with the power factor.

So you may have an Asian origin inverter where the maker fails to publish the temperature derate curves but the fact of physics remains and cannot be escaped.

For a practical example and as a guide to understanding the internals, the 5kva Victron actually has a ~5kw rated transformer in it -
the manufacturer expects you to load a max of 4kw at 25 degree C however there is a 30% overload (for up to 30 minutes) ability built in.

This overload capacity is there for trained installers to understand and use (not abuse ) properly and is one of the reasons behind the very positive field reviews and testimonials of the robustness of the Victron units.

As a point of fact, per design, the units will shut down in case of over-temperature in the internals long before an actual electrical overload occurs.

I hope this puts paid to any fears.

Kreamie:
Lol.

This isn’t entirely correct sha
These hybrids are pretty heavy. A lot of strength is required in hefting them.

Maybe you dey lift weight sha; but for we wey we never chop wella let alone own a gym subscription. These things can break your back.

Light just got bad in my area and I need solar panels all of a sudden,any organization into solar panels loan😁

solar panel loan kwa

Valto:
lolz solar panel loan kwa country don red, u just have to save up and get what u want. Btw, with enough due diligence, u can get a good cheap used panel.

de3lar:


Like me wey dey find cheap used 200-300w 12v panel 🙂

I get 50Ah lithium battery, Inverter and na solar panels remain

zeestone99:


You are still saying the same thing I'm saying but with plenty English.

You can't do continuous 5kw. Hence pf is not 1. There are conditions to it. People need to know so they don't go with the mindset of doing 5kw on 5kw. Hope u get

samir101ng:


There was some wisdom in the plenty english nah. No inverter subjected to temperature can do PF 1. Just because the chinese no name brands don't put in their inverters doesn't mean that they don't derate. As the temperature rises in the inverters operating environment and under load, it will derate its output. There is always a loss in the energy conversion of DC to AC. The law of physics is universal. It happens to all inverters. But Victron is being more open by telling you exactly how and at what temperatures it is able to output its capacity. The issue i guess was you making Victron to look like the only inverter that derates its ouput instead of aspiring it as a normal convention that applies to all inverters and not just victron.

Valto:
300w 12v panels will be hard to find.. u should be looking out for 100 to 210w panels. u can get brand new 210w(12v) for 40k

icjunior:



What brand is this 210w?

zeestone99:


Like I said we are all saying thing. I never made victron look like the only inverter that can't do PF of 1. Infact all them can't do PF of 1, I was jst saying on behalf of local consumers. I know the kind of people I deal with locally. I kid you not they will buy it for this sole purpose and load steady 4.95kw, they will also come here to complain blablabla.

You can reach out to me for this, we offer a plan in line with this, should you meet the criterias.

mank1234:


Same people would not load a 5kVA generator up to 2kw because the generator can scream.

For defaulters, I'm just wondering how you would be able to recover your money.

Although I said earlier: "It is a choice between chasing 10,000 clients paying 10,000.00 each on the one side OR say 10 clients paying 10,000,000.00"

It could also be 2 clients paying 50,000,000.00 or 1 client paying 100,000,000.00

Now imagine that 1 of the 2 clients paying 50,000,000.00 decides to drop you when you did nothing wrong. Say the CEO is retiring and decides that he needs to go home with your contract pay as his retirement package, so he substitutes your company with his junior brother's company.

You had no prior knowledge of this coming. What happens to your projections? What happens to everyone else who suffers from this executive action? Your staff? Your family life? Your love/romantic live? Can you handle the emotional toll that comes from things going this way?

If this happens in say September you have barely enough time to find an alternative or alternatives as mega corporate deals are rarely completed in 3 months, a 6 month to 9 month or even 12 month timeframe might be more realistic.

You know that unlike what happens on nairaland, you cannot call him out because if you do, no other person from that company will deal with you again. And if care is not taken, no other person from that industry as a whole will deal with you because you a snitch.

You also know that you cannot take it to court, because then you will put the whole world on notice that you are a fighter which might negatively affect the attraction of future business.

In addition, to the above, there is the stress of always learning, to stay ahead of the curve so you don't become a Nokia and continue to be relevant to your clients both current and future.

It could also be the other way around. You are the favored contractor getting all the juiciest of deals, and when there is a change of the guard, your patronage drops to zero in an instant. You are then relegated from most favored status to persona non grata.

Just a glimpse of stories from the trenches.

Can you really handle the heat?

please who can suggest a good lithium or lifepo4 battery and inverter within the budget of 1.5m for both

was thinking 7kw battery and 3.5kva inverter

Dam5reey:

If you are planning to use these devices.. that's mean you don't need the portability..

Get your self a 12V 200AH LA battery for 230K
Hybrid 12V, 1kw for 180k.. remaining change for installation this will provide better power, capacity and upgradable.

You can add Solar in future...
