Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by bassdow: 12:10pm On Feb 28 |
mvphenryeto5:Yea. That's a limitation of the battery chemistry, not the technology (Tubular) Should you want something higher (about 80%), go for Lithium based batteries. Just be sure you getting genuine cells. Quality of the cells are a major concern. Make you no go spend millions on overRated low Quality cells |

jikaseo: in as much as, most of those batteries are FAKE + some don tey for shelf, the charging system of the Fan should equally be probed. Firstly, those Fans are often too sluggish in recharging a Battery which on themselves, takes long to fill. Another is, those Fans no dey get low Voltage cutOff hence e go run until battery go 100%, except you off am. Now there's every possibility say, the Fan is always completely used before it could fully recharge it's battery and that must kill the battery even if na Original which we know it isn't. Me have lots of rechargeable Fans which I bought used BUT I no dey ever get battery wahala because I draw light directly from a secondary chargeController. That way, even if I leave the Fan ON travel, if the battery run to a certain level, the chargeController go cut am off 2 Likes |

Obnoxious2001: Naturally, the Fan's charging system already struggles to charge it's followCome battery of low amperage. To add battery of higher amperage na extra wahala, except dem go use external charger. Also those fans don't come with Low Voltage cutOff hence that one go follow dey kill the batteries fast join |

icjunior: Those socket acts like our normal electrical sockets at home. Only difference is, it's got a timer where you set when you want it to ON and when you want it to OFF, and the interval. Alternatively, why not use your charge Controller as a timer switch. and for heavy appliances, e go work wella if you understand how relay Switches work 2 Likes |

bassdow: I don't understand how relay switches work though,but been able to configure the timer socket now. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by bassdow: 1:03pm On Feb 28 |

dbshaywhy: Is your inverter for sale? Did the mercury ba3 serve you well, will you recommend it? |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by mvphenryeto5: 1:58pm On Feb 28 |
bassdow: So you recommend someone buying used inverter? |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Edrizz(m): 3:12pm On Feb 28 |
mvphenryeto5: Sorry, it was an error from my end, only LiFePO4 has 80-90% DOD while both gel battery n tubular battery has 50% DOD |

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by bassdow: 3:50pm On Feb 28 |
dbshaywhy: Let me show you how to HELP YOUR SELF To get total number of Solar Panels required depending on Inverter Capacity. Size of Inverter Divided By Wattage of a single solar panel of your choice hence let's say you intends buying 300W solar panels, but don't know how many pieces you would be needing. Let's also assume your target is a 3KVA inverter system Then to get the Number of Solar Panels required, you do 3KVA / 300w But mathematically, 3KVA means 3,000VA hence 3,000 / 300 = 10 Solar Panels. Let's assume we prefer a 200w solar panel since a 300W solar panel is Heavier, hence our calculation would now be 3,000va / 200w = 15 Solar Panels PS: Kindly note that, even though our formular above says 10-Panels, you still could get away with 4pcs of Solar Panels. Of course it would never work like it ought to be, should you have used the minimum required which is 10-pcs of 300w. This is expecially TRUE for una wey sabi use 2pcs of 200AH batteries onTop 3KVA or 3.5KVA inverter. 1 Like |

dbshaywhy: Question: 2. Is it advisable to use an hybrid inverter in terms of durability, efficiency and stability, if yes, what brand? Answer: I have always adviced against Hybrid inverter systems and have on several occassion, given plethrea of reasons as backing. I might not be willing to wa ste space and time repeating myself yet again BUT just understand that whoever made the parable that "You shouldn't Put All Your Eggs in One Basket" , is more than Correct. Even investors, spread their risks. Even I mySelf, prefer Buying 2pcs of 300W Solar Panels, than 1pcs of 650w Solar Panel 1 Like |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by bassdow: 4:06pm On Feb 28 |
dbshaywhy: Question: 1. Will 4 pcs of 435w jinko panels mono facial suffice full charge? Answer: K means thousand (1000) hence 1k = 1,000 while 3K = 3,000 and so on. Now since your supposed inverter capacity is 3KVA , that means, your inverter size is 3,000VA Now to know if "4 pcs of 435w" (brand doesn't matter) of Solar panels is enough, you add the wattage of the "4 pcs of 435w" hence, 4pcs * 435w = 1,740w. But 1,740w is no where up to the required inverter capacity of 3,000 . So NO , "4 pcs of 435w" is not enough at all. Of course e go work, but e go slow pass Development in Nigeria. PS: of course, calculation above considers a Series connection Ooo. Kindly understand "4 pcs of 435w" in Series, ain't same as "4 pcs of 435w" in Parallel BUT either way, "4 pcs of 435w" wether in Series, or Parallel, is no where close. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by bassdow: 4:15pm On Feb 28 |
dbshaywhy: Question: 3. Can I still use the former set up alongside, the panels and the cc excluding the battery and inverter. Answer: NO. Whenever you mix Solar Panels of different Capacities, the Solar Panel of higher Capacities, comes down to level of the Lowest Solar Panel's capacity on the string hence 200w + 100w in series would give you 100w. yea you could start considering the VOCs but those are hacky tactics better left to those who really knows what they're doing. Even then sef, there must be looses |

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by bassdow: 4:20pm On Feb 28 |
dbshaywhy: I'm glad you're using a brand of charge Controller that's much better than the Plenty nonesense wey full market. hopefully, you're very much aware You would require a charge Controller of higher capacity. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by bassdow: 4:35pm On Feb 28 |
dbshaywhy: To know what Capacity of charge Controller required for your Solar Panels , you take Total wattage of your Solar Panels, and divide by capacity of your Battery Bank. Since your inverter Capacity is 3KVA which from our sipmple maths, and using 300w Solar Panel, we got at least 10-Solar Panels. Since we have 10pcs of 300w solar panels, we do 10 * 300 = 3,000 Let's now assume we intends using 2pcs of 200AH batteries in series, which gives us 24-volts, then we do 3000 / 24 = 125A. You then have to get a charge controller of at least 125A or higher Mind you, the 2pcs of 12v battery I stated, is just for example. Note that should you have Solar Panels in Series & Parallel, your target is wattage of the Series connection. |

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by isangjohnson: 9:47pm On Feb 28 |
dbshaywhy:Theory may not give you the needed results in question 1. Tell us your loads and we will tell you the pv capacity that will power the loads and charge the battery to full in a day plus or minus. 2. Hybrid and non hybrid are durable, efficient and stable. It's a matter of choice. 3. Panels are still ok if you wish to continue with that capacity but that 30a cc is not good for 24v or 48v system. |
