Femi otedola getting ready, this people are almost predictable 😂😂😂... Currently its rating is 435MW...this more than double upgrade...the earlier you are solar ready,... The better.... Tony Elumelu put his power company in the Nigerian stock exchange last month... The power revolution is coming... But e go cost.

please help. Someone installed this mppt charge controller for my mum and it has burnt twice at this same point (where wires from the solar panels connect to the charge controller).
Happened first time, he replaced it and it happened again. He was about collecting money from her to buy another one again but this time she reached out to me.

It’s a 12v 1kw inverter system with 6x 180w solar panels and 200ah battery. She uses it at her store for a small fridge, a desktop computer and fan.

Is this a problem with the power from the solar panels being too much? Or the charge controller is thrash?

Please help. Any insight appreciated.
6×180 is 1080w which is beyond your charger controller. It shouldn't go beyond 700w or less.

Measured voltage and current with a clampmetre at constant load. Both AC side and then DC side.

What if right source is supplying clones and inflating price?

Way back Jinko 250-300w series, there use to be imprints of Jinko solar embedded in the panels surface.

This new ones no dey get am oh.

I don't mean to cause distress but is there any case for alarm

Clearly only solar can save you during dry season, which is also when solar produces the most energy... Which is also when the heat is most unbearable... Instead of them to increase capacity and make more money.... Bayo onanuga is also hinting distribution companies will be allowed to increase the rate from 68 naira up to 200 naira per kwh this april.... 1 thousand naira that used to be 13 units is about to be 5 units....

It's not our of place for some sort of shenanigans to happen.

The thing is how do we verify that they have been authorised?

Even after authorisation (for professions that require licensing) I can still provide sales/services even without my renewal.

Hope you understand where am driving at

Like say Jinko no get website or contact.. if you want to verify this is 2024.. nothing is hidden if you have access to Nairaland it means you have access to information and can verify anything you want.

An inverter AC
Clamp Metre
Sachet 5kw pure sine.

Most of the 'inverter' termed devices (inverter fridge, watching machine etc) are typically switching power designed (aka SMPS), and a properly designed SMPS, built to handle above 100W should have active power factor correction ( PFC ) built into the design.

In the absence of this PFC, the load (your inverter AC in this case) would affect the phase relationship of the inverter output, consequently affecting any meter equipment that depends on the standard current/voltage relationship to produce correct values.

Also, Normal AC, fridge, washing machine general affect power factor, hence I suspect your meter to be the problem here, it seems to be unable to measure the correct power.

Good afternoon my people, is there a sub-pump machine with a soft start?
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by swagifted(m): 2:26pm On Apr 03
It's official, if you are in band A electricity is now 225 naira per kilowatt, that's about 300% percent increase. @isangjohnson you can see selling renewable at 200 naira when the epileptic one from distribution companies is more expensive no make sense again... So how about 400 naira kwh...you might make your money faster now.

6×180 is 1080w which is beyond your charger controller. It shouldn't go beyond 700w or less.

Thank you for your response. So the 60A charge controller is too small for the 6x 180w panels?

Not the 60A, but the capacity of a 12v system.
Almost all charger controllers at 12v(one battery) of any amp of charger controller CANNOT DO ABOVE 700w. Your total wattage from the panels exceed what the cc can take. You are feeding the cc with 1080w (6×180w) instead of max of 700w. Check the label at the back of the cc as the info is there.
