That not too bad don discourage..lol. let me just buy once and for all. Please which brands are first tier.??

First tier include the following, note all of them have also "Alaba levels" (fake types):

1) Jinko

2) Canadian Solar

3) Trina Solar Panels

4) Longi

5) JA Solar

6) Era Solar

7) Yingli

Etc

Look for the real dealers to avoid buying "label" as they often refer to the fake types. Beware of 'labels" when buying Canadian and Trina Solar panels. Alaba vendors have a particular fixation in faking these two panels.

Good luck.

It could be that because the sachet inverter has a lower battery cut off point which seems to give the semblance of a longer lasting battery whereas the battery is been drained low in the process

Not entirely true. My normal inverter then used to drain my previous battery down to 10.5v

Guys, abeg which standing fan with a low watt, like something lower than 50W can i get.

The 92W Ox standing fan i am usung drains my b3 fast.

Buy the Qasa DC 18" standing fan; comes with a remote and has about 6 levels. I doubt it consumes more than 20w even on full blow. I recently used the fan for about 6hours and my battery didn't move from the 12.2v it was on. It is really energy-efficient. It's ceiling fan counterpart is also energy-efficient as well

I've seen an instance where thunder storms damaged 16 numbers of 350w solar panels, the inverter (which is a hybrid) in one day. Till today due to the cost of replacing those items, the organisation do not use renewable energy. Though they later installed an active thunder protection AFTER the damage.

The majority of Nigerians don't like to spend money on protective devices, they often seen it "unnecessary" .

This is strange!

What if the building itself has protection against thunder.

Will the solar setup need a different protection

I have had experience with lightning killing my CC and inverter. My CC , Epever 60amps MPPT remains in coma till date. It is possible with panels too I think ( it has a diode at the back). I have never had a battery affected though.


Why do I keep having that imagination that the battery will explode when hit by lightning

If EFFECTIVE, then you have nothing to worry about. But if it's not, then you may be in for a surprise when the rains starts.

You'll be amazed by level of the quantities of fake Jinko panels in Nigeria now and I fear it will surpass the original ones soon as the demand for Jinko panels are increasing daily.

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Ferdiwar: 12:31am On Dec 31, 2023
The lighting strikes will probably end with the inverter as those electronic components will get fired easily before the strike will get to the battery.

For real? Didn't know they are into Jinko now. I always get from authorised dealers.
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Ferdiwar: 8:31am On Dec 31, 2023
I was shocked too.
I got to know this when I was in the market for panels and reached out to Coscharis Technologies for Jinko panels, when I told the lady that their price for 555w was way higher than what I was offered for the 575w in alaba that was when she asked me to request for the S/N of the panels they offered let her verify if it's the original or fake, well my shock was shocked with the outcome.

I ended up getting the Longi as they only had the 555w in stock and I personally verified all the panels from Longi website before leaving with the panels.

It's easy to spot fake jinko solar panels.
It's one thing to be involved in solar panel, it's another thing to be involved in the business of solar panels.

Some solar panels, have their names embedded into it.. this is one major way to tell the difference aside from the stickers.

What were the rates quoted for both fake and original jinko and longline panels pls. That would also help prospective buyers. Thanks.

I have a serious dilemma.i want to do an upgrade,Im confused between buying a growatt 5kva hybrid inverter or a 120amp growatt charge controller. My cause of confusion is this. This growatt inverter can work without batteries, and secondly even while working with battery, can power the household load directly from the the solar panels during sunlight, while the reamaining power charges the battery. My question is can the external charge controller offset house load while charging batteries at thesame time? Pls i will appreciate a response..

there is always a twist with this so called inverters that can power your household loads directly with solar panels...

if you dont have enough pvs to cater for your loads during different weather conditions, it will still draw from your batteries.. by so doing your batteries will suffer the damages in the long run cos de are not receiving enough charge...

in summary have enough pvs....

Does power produced by charge controller offset battery load during under sunlight.
