Am telling you, after all installer no carry gun.

ojesymsym:
Every laborer deserves his wages. Because many of us are DIY, we tend to take for granted that there is a lot of work involved in solar installations.
Sometimes after spending hours designing a solution for a person, the person may now give the job to another person.

The worst part about solar is that from the time you install, any electrical problem in that house will be transferred to the installer since it is assumed that he was the last person to have worked on the electrical systems in the house.

Before you know it, the small profit you made will be spent going back to that house to resolve issues.

That price is a steal. I have a used 10kva victron unit and I probably have to really love you to do N1.5m for it.

what's the best price you can sell it

HeavenlyBang:


Pretty much all of them.

My 3.3KW unit operates between 120-450 vdc.

pls what's the maximum load you run on it.... Anything like those side by fridge on it?

I haven't gone past 2kw on it yet. That's the heaviest appliance in my house.

Doubt any fridge is going to need more than 200-300w tbh.

Hi, I'm new here and need guidance.

I have 3 computers which I need to keep running 24/7 because I'm using them as a server cluster. I have purchased a 100amp pwm solar charge controller and I have two batteries which I can use for this project. Details of my load and batteries are below.

1. Raspberry pi 5 drawing 5 volts 4 amps

2. Raspberry pi zero 2w drawing 5 volts 2 amps

3. Mini ethernet switch drawing 5 volts 1 amp

4. One single 12 volts 90 ah lead acid battery

5. One single 3.2 volts 72 ah CalB LifePo4 battery.

Those are the items i have on hand right now along with the 100 amp pwm charge controller. Please I need to know the right size of solar panels that I can purchase and wire up which would be able to provide enough power to directly supply current to the three devices I have as loads above during the daytime and then be able to recharge any one of/both of the batteries I have to be able to power the loads during the night when the sun goes down.

I am a complete novice in electrical matters but I am willing to learn. I do not have any cash right now to purchase an additional battery so I need to make do with the setup I have on hand right now and plan for an upgrade soon. I just have to purchase the right solar panel size and type to give me the juice I need to at least power my devices during the day and then I can depend on whatever my battery backup can give me at night for the time being.

I am in Africa, we have good sunshine most of the day. All my devices arr rated at 5 volts max. I fear I bought an oversized pwm charge controller for my setup (100 amps) hence my worry that I might have to splurge on solar panels to feed such a hungry controller.

My humble questions are thus, can I use a lower rated solar panel with the 100 amp controller? Is there a minimum wattage of panels that can be used on the 100 amp controller? Will it hurt the system if I under-feed the controller power from the panels? I don't think I have the cash to buy anything more than a 150 watt panel at the moment but I desperately need this system up and running one way or the other.

Thanks all. I appreciate your advice.

You're right, he no carry gun, its his price, doesn't change the fact that price is high. And u know its high,cos i never said it was, i only said nawa, and you interpreted it as being high. Which it obviously is. If he like make he put 2m, na his price and if i say 500k too high, na my opinion. 500k for 12 panel installation, he better carry the gun.

Na,so i tell wan yeye installer to go install 8panels(450w) each,5kva,batteries. told him it was upstairs, benin city. He charged 70k. He went to the house, saw swimming pool, saw bushbar, saw duplex/luxury. He call me say boss that client na bigman, i no fit do am for 70k again, na 150k i go collect. I ignored him, got another installer to do it for 60k. Job is a couple of months old now, no wahala no complain. Like i said, na u get ur price, u fit call 2million to install 8 panels. Appendix operation na 70k for general hospital, same operation na 400k for private. Coke na 250naira for street, for club na 3000naira.Life na choice.

You need to be very careful with this.
Make you no go buy block as victron.

we don test am with welding machine... Test am with Nepa. We test am with tubular battery, we also use lithium. Everything de work

Battery Capacity clarified, LFP, Lead Acid, Li-ion.

You can Use as low as 20w panels, just know that your panels energy generation depends on your solar capacity.
The 150W will work, and if your Charge controller has a USB port then you can use the USB port to power your devices my fear is the rating of the USB output most are capped to only 5V 2A. Check the specifications of the Charge Controller and you are good.

The journey begins...

Please I don't understand this comment, is this too high or too low or fair?

500k for labour...Na so

Please house, I already have 4 tubular batteries in my set up, I was thinking of doing a separate system with a lithium battery and probably use my current set up during the day since we have less load during the day. But I want to find out first if it's possible for me to merge my tubular batteries with the lithium battery in one system, to save me cost and all.

Hello everyone.
I am stuck between choosing a canadian panel vs a jinko panel... i havent used a canadian panel before but the low Voc is tempting especially when compared to jinko of same wattage.. This will allow me to fit in more panels ..I would appreciate your contributions as regards their performances..

thank in u advance...

no, not advisable. u can't parallel tubular with lithuim, they have different charge voltage and discharge curve.....

First how do you intend to use the LFP in the current set up:
For Extended back up or upgrade?

You can highlight your current set up to fully understand and attend to your question accordingly.

There are ways to use 2 different banks in a system, it depends on level of effort and expertise!

You already have a reason to make your choice, Both Jinko and Canadian and on par: Yes, Low wattage is a good point to make a decision.

Who has an idea how much euronet 3kva hybrid smart inverter cost? does anyone has for sale around this space?

They are both very good solar panel brand that it very reliable,I have used both of them in most of my jobs. Just ensure u buy from reliable source(Gennex,Techland,Fouani) or find a way to verify before buying from other source. adequate cabling and proper installation. And the rest is just smile all over your face.
Peace.....

It's possible to parallel them but you may not be able to do it. It's very technical.
If you still want to keep your old system as a backup, then get a separate inverter and pv, and then run two separate systems.
I had a similar plan 3 years ago but I later sold my old system (inverter and tubular batteries) and build a solar generator (1kw 12v hybrid inverter with 12v 100ah lfp battery) as a backup system.

I have 6pcs of 580W Jinko solar panels connected in series.

using Growatt app, the maximum i have gotten is 3000W and 13.2A in a very sunny day

Is that normal or i should be getting more?

want to add more but want to be sure of this first

Best performance. U re getting almost 85% of ur pv

He should have more than that if the PVs are new and original.
My 3 years era pv generates 85% on a sunny day.

Peak power may not accurately represent if the panel is performing well, due to several factors.

Share your daily Energy generation? that's what really matters if it's not generating enough then you may add more Panel!
