Syber: Looks to me like you are overcharging your batteries. Your batteries are 4X 220ah but In reality most of these 220Ah are 200Ah. Charging rate should be .2C = 40A, worst case 44A. 4OA x 48V = 1920W. You are charging at .3C. 1 Like |

I totally understand you, when I upgraded my system in November last year I only had Inverter and battery which I installed in December and started using them. I later discovered that I was burning my units charging the battery with grid, so I had channel all my funds to adding panels to the setup and finally became free. jonescosmos: 4 Likes |

Which is better buying single 625w or buying 2pcs 300w panels Also anyone with experience with africell sunfit or sunshine panels 1 Like |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by mctfopt: 9:23pm On Jun 04 |
luvlyoracle: See what I'll suggest, this recommendation is coming on the heels of what I've experienced these past two years. I noticed the cheapo solar panels (Africell, Sunfit, Sunshine et al) may be cheap to get. But it comes at a cost some users may experience and not see. I noticed that after two or three years, some of the busbars (those silver coloured lines) that link the individual solar panels starts to burn. You may not see this as panels are probably on the roof, but you will notice the reduced production. So in summary, instead of buying 1000w of Africell PV, you are better off buying 550w of Jinko, Original Canadian solar (had to put original as the fake are a dime a dozen), JA Solar, Yingli, etc. In RE world, you usually get WHAT YOU PAY FOR. Pay for premium to avoid premium tears. 12 Likes |

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by olopan(m): 5:22am On Jun 05 |
These question could help you better decide 1. Is the power meter or unmetered, i.e., if it is from NEPA or a serviced generator that turns on for just the four hours stated? 2. If your answer is yes to the latter, then you need to know how the loads in the office operate. 3. Armed with these answers, you can then decide which inverter you think would be of your preffered choice, cost range and can work with lithium easily. A lithium battery would be the best I would recommend for you with an inverter with a high charging rate so you can more and faster within the four hour uptime of your available grid. chidekings: |

I don later buy am on Monday as dem don reintroduce the 20k unlimited subscription. It's very good in my location. Only issue i noticed is the battery pack that comes with it doesn't last long. I realized it has two wifi output. One for 2.4ghz and 5ghz connection. I switched off the 5ghz connection but didn't notice much difference in battery drain. Is there any way to improve battery life?

Your load is what would help tell what type of system you can use. you can calculate the load through the link in my profile, it will help you know or estimate whats needed to be used and ensure to put your results here for more input. BTW it is best used from a computer browser. chidekings: |

swagifted: Turn it to a mini grid and sell excess power when church isn't in full swing also. I had the blessing to chat with a guy that has a phone charging shop he runs mainly off of solar and gen to compensate. In his worst days he makes 10k per day, zero maintenance cost when he is on solar. He told me he can't even meet the demand as his chargers are always fully booked. He said he doesn't want to expand just because he doesn't have the time to monitor a staff so he handles this one himself. |

mctfopt: If this is true...I don buy problem o. π’ I have a couple of equipment I have not opened for like 2years. Maybe that's why manufacturers add that dessicant to their products in cartons to handle humidity. Humidity may be the cankerworm. |

I wish to get a new Starplus battery 220aH tubular. Is it a good buy?? |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by mctfopt: 10:30am On Jun 05 |
tipsy242: Not a good buy. Better off buy other lead acid brand like Luminous, Genius, Eastman, etc.Failure rate of Starplus batteries is very high. |
