mctfopt:I don talk am before. Should a known brand leave anything blank, Our Nigerian guys go help dem fill the voids. e even get Tubular battery wey e name na Lithium. Just look well to see how the name is written. e get reason you hardly see me promoting any popular brand. Most times, what's everywhere, ain't the real deal. They might be better than the complete FAKEs but still not the real deal |

Dam5reey: yea it depends on Client's Budget, and Load. Reason most times, you need work with one who knows what they doing, or provide such details in here so we know how to respond. Issue be s ay, the moment Person quote budget, invisible marketers go help am |

mikeayus: Just be ready to replace your battery soon. So many things could easily go wrong. Too much charging current on any day you decide to turn off your inverter, also You would most likely overdraw current at nights given the size of your inverter. My first advice is you double the battery bank. Secondly, a 60amps charger with a 24v system would have been better and probably cost same or just a little more than what you will be spending in total. Like smaller cable Guage, cheaper breaker etc. Just keep in mind that whatsoever you have in mind will be different from what is achievable on renewable energy except you've got deep pockets Plus I would have advised you got a lifepo4 battery, as it tolerates more abuse. Just make sure you turn off the system as soon as your battery voltage gets below 12.0v on small loads. The inverter you got is not optimal for lead acid as it won't cut off until battery voltage drops below 10.5v so you've got to really monitor your system |

mikeayus: E go make sense you leave this part for the installer. Because there are so many shenanigans in this aspect. This week Na person I help solve this case. Better still is to hire an someone to follow you. 1 Like |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by mikeayus(m): 1:49pm On Mar 09 |
dacool1: Thanks for this input. Just to put in some more context, I would not be fully utilizing the inverter load capacity as I would be using just 2 ceiling fans, a 30' TV and 2 laptops per time. Also, I believe the MPPT CC LED Charging indicator would always show the voltage on my battery while charging and this can help monitor and avoid over charging. Doubling the Battery bank is a plan in view as well. Cheerss |

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Drgreatone: 3:07pm On Mar 09 |
mikeayus:You have put the cart before the horse. Now it wud be difficult though not impossible to help u. Its always good to av an idea of the system u want and discuss wit the experts before making purchases. Its not also by where u got ur items from. My 10cents, adding another battery and changing ur inverter to at least 24v system to start with. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by dacool1(m): 3:09pm On Mar 09 |
mikeayus: 2 ceiling fans!! How many watts each? A TV 2laptops simultaneously. Hmm just like I said earlier get ready to replace your battery soon of you power all these appliances after sundown. And you need to add the next battery within the next 3 months or so. As per the charge current, I wasn't referring to over charge but over current and your battery will most likely swell or explode at some point because when there's no load and there's good sunlight, your charger would be sending over 50amps into the battery. Just prepare to replace your battery soon it might not last 6months. Plus the best you will get after sun down is 4hrs power supply if you power on your fans before hitting 50% DOD |

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by mikeayus(m): 3:46pm On Mar 09 |
Drgreatone: oh wow, thanks for your genuine feedback. Can you please advise me on how best to utilise what I currently have ? i mean what I need to bare in mind to work with the components purchased already? as I dont have budget for a new inverter or additional battery now. Thank you |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by mikeayus(m): 3:54pm On Mar 09 |
dacool1: Thank you, but I thought thats the work of using a MPPT CC that would regulate charge going into the battery. Also, these loads mentioned would not always be powered on the inverter, It is planned to be a backup power system for few hours when no power from the mains |

mikeayus: Boss, there is nothing to worry about, your set-up is perfect because you have enough PV and headroom for day usage. Your batteries will charge adequately, forget about over-charging the batteries as the voltage goes up, charging current reduces, the batteries won't take much current from your PV. so your batteries wont swell. In bad weather condition you will be have 100% at sunset due to oversized array. Go ahead and complete the installation. I have a similar set up for client. Its even doing fine that I now have a new formula that its best to have enough Solar at least 1KW for 1 12V, 200AH Lead acid batteries. I added Battery capacity meter for this client so he can see the SOC, he hardly goes below 50%.. and by 1PM he is at 100%. 1 Year plus running his Batteries did not overcharge, and batteries still have Full Capacity no loss. 6 Likes |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Drgreatone: 4:05pm On Mar 09 |
mikeayus:Then better to just keep them in ur store pending when ur budget can cater for all thats needed. U can ask ur seller if he can swap the 12v inverter to a 24v own with u adding extra money and then save up to get a new battery. Best u also get the same type of battery and not mix. My ogas at the top can add or subtract from this. 2 Likes |

I know ow ppl are quick to speak ill of some of our dealers here but here I am to say big appreciation to @zeestone. He helped get a 5kva inverter last week only for me to install and the ac output wasnt working. Returned it back to him and he ensured it was fixed within hours, no long story or passing blame to the seller. Thank you and God bless. Many more deals coming your way 8 Likes |

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by bassdow: 4:27pm On Mar 09 |
Obnoxious2001:exactly. Even those buying themselves, don't know most times, they end up paying much higher because the Seller would know it's not their field |

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by bassdow: 4:33pm On Mar 09 |
dacool1:people keep thinking 12-volts system is cheap. You even require thicker cables which costs more YET e no fit power more appliances. and Laptops could be power hungry most times especially when used for longer hours. @mikeayus , are the Solar Panels in series or Parallel ? If in series, maybe you put in parallel, hopefully your charge controller would enter PWM mode. Or better still, get a super cheap PWM charge controller of about 10,000 naira or therabout and use that pending when you have bigger battery bank and possibly inverter wey sabi work |

bassdow: i haven't connected anything yet, the set up is still in design phase. Very much open to advise from experts here. Thanks |
