mvphenryeto5:40Amps chargeController would do but would suggest buying a 50Amps or 100Amps due to following reasons 1. some (if not most) charge controllers in the market are overrated. 2. when your charge Controller has a high enough max current rating, tendencies of your needing an upGrade sooner is reduced. |

bassdow:thanks for being very blunt. boss i currently have an Ipower 60 amps zinux MPPT. max solar voltage 145Vdc max solar current 60amps max current charge 60amps i plan on adding 4 to 5 more panels. Ive been advised to get another CC if am doing 450w panels, if i wont maintain 300w panels that i currently have.

mvphenryeto5: this is what we call sachet Inverter or transformerLess inverter. Advantages is, it's more efficient in operation + Cheaper. DisAdvantage is, it's not durable. it goes bad easily, with little chances of being able to get fixed by our Nigerian technicians. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by bassdow: 2:31pm On Feb 14 |
emmaniche: you can't, or not adviceAble to mix 450w solar panels with 300w solar panels. In fact, when using more than 1 solar pael, ensure they're at least, of same Capacity (Current, Wattage, etc) and type e.g MONO, or POLY. Also, didn't ask for Max-Input Current or Voltage of a single solar panel but for the entire solar panels. Let's assume the Max input Current of one of your soolar Panels is 20A, and you currently have 5 panels, and intends adding more 5 panels, bring the total solar panels to 5+5=10 solar panels, then you would do 20A * 10 = 200A. Of course that depends on the configuration you intends using because that 200A cound end up being 100A also |

bassdow: Which inverter do you suggest I get on a tight budget |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by bassdow: 2:50pm On Feb 14 |
mvphenryeto5:I'm not into sales Ooo hence don't have knowledge of current market except I check. na you know your budget. Maybe you should quote a figure. Prices gan sef nostable at all - changing almost every few hours. why not enter market, or check ji ji . ng |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by emmaniche: 2:56pm On Feb 14 |
bassdow:pardon my noobieness. i have 1500w in total. generates about 400 to 500w on my cc. get between 12 to 18ahms charging. Hope thats enough to advice me effectively? |

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by bassdow: 6:06pm On Feb 14 |
dollarnaira:Oga such loads should be run on at least a 24-volts system and above. before you know now, battery go die in less than 1-year or at most less than 2-years even if na only dayTime dem dey power the fridge abi freezer |

bassdow:what of inverter freezer of 120 watts . Does the above statement apply too. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by dacool1(m): 7:04pm On Feb 14 |
Buchika: Nothing is wrong with running a freezer on a 12v system. Just have sufficient battery bank. People need to stop condemning 12v systems abeg. They are okay for loads up to 2kw, just that I would suggest a 24v system if you would be continuously drawing more than 1kw energy. A 24v system with just two 220ah tubular batteries is no better than a 12v system with same battery bank. For a regular freezer or inverter freezer a 1kw 12v system with surge capacity of 2kw is more than OK. Just turn on the freezer first before other appliances. I just laugh when I see a 3.5kva inverter connected to two 220ah tubular batteries. Your batteries would die in 3 months if you fully utilize the inverter. 2 Likes |

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by bassdow: 7:08pm On Feb 14 |
Buchika: According to secondary school physics, this always applies P=IV or I=P/V or V=P/I. Work of an INVERTER is to Boost the voltage of your battery from 12-volts, 24-volts, 36-volts, 48-volts TO 240-volts or what is required. Now along the line, the current of the battery is also affected. Now depending on the voltage from where the inverter is Boosting from, e.g 12-volts, it could mean more stress on the battery and inverter system. hence it easier (both on the battery & inverter) to boost from 24-volts, than from 12-volts. Also easier from 48-volts, than below. Now for your own good, the less stress you put on the battery, the better for you. Bottom line is, let's strive to put as little stress on our batteries as we could afford. Any power appliance (e.g fridge, Freezer, AirConditioner, etc) should be run on a minimum of 24-volts system and above, wether na inverterBasedAppliance or not. That na my own opinion |
