Actual cost will vary, but atleast hold like 1.5-2.5m for something robust. If you decide to go the DIY route, it may be cheaper for you, but more risky.
Not risky if he's a handsOn person, and willing to spend the time asking and following instructions.

Abeg make no body call me Oooo. Some people no fit connect torchLight battery (doubt if they could change light bulb sef) but want you to put them through on Solar installation

Even the people that used to buy all that sunking/Dlight 50w panel package... They can barely charge phones with it. The most is for lighting

Anything robust solar set up now, one will spend at least 1.5m ... Otherwise, anything the weather show person make e accept am grin
Those products are nothing but Poverty Alleviation OR inCome generating scheme. They know it's difficult making huge money being honest + most of their customer base are low income series hence dem package am give them

Very apt. Between October and May, I'm okay. Average generation 20kwhr/day.
June-Sept I use mains to suppliment. Some days I get below 4kwhr.
One major advantage of overSizing your setUp. Me no even get generator sef. Na rent I dey rent whenever I wan pump water and with the number of huge tanks I get, na a day work. I like am like that. No need worrying about any form of maintenance; not even to change oil sef

For the past 7 years, I don't own a gen. Out of 7 years I stayed two years without NEPA (Naija is not a real place. NEPA downtime due to bad transformer, many packed out of the area). Zero personal power downtime in all these events. In bad weather I just drop high loads and life continues. As a backup/solo use, RE is king.
Me and You dey same boat be that.

Why not take it to someone else to get their own opinion ?

Just take it elsewhere and say nothing other than it's not working. Let them be the one to check and respond to you
I dont trust the repairers here plus just seeing me come down from a car with it na billing on its own.

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by samnaija: 8:52pm On Oct 20
Sold of all my gen, dont even use nepa. In bad weather i use heavy appliances one after the other. But on a sunny day ac, pumping machine even hotplate work the same time.

Update, i have finally acquired a 10 kva inverter and for the last 2months i have sampling and pushing the limits of the inverter. Thanks to everyone that gave suggestions on the brand to buy.

I settled for Felicity ivps100 48. Purely inverter and non hybrid. I can comfortable power 2 ac , use threadmill while my wife is using hotplate. I have thrown different gadgets with different scenerous at it. You name it water heater, with ac, pumping machine all. The inverter stand no shaking.

Since i am okay with this, like i wrote way back on this thread. I don't sell most of solar items after an upgrade its been a journey of 13 years. I have to create space and let go of things.

Up for sale
two 5 kva inverters both 48v. ( Wall and standing type).
2. 5 kva inverter 48v (standing type)
3.5 kva inverter 24 v (wall).

All inverters are transformer based. Will upload pictures of the inverters for sale.... Thanks again everyone...

Not entirely true.
Unless the user works from home with a good average load. People go to work kids go to school. Battery go charge...

Bad weather days, manage your load like salary wey jam fuel pump increase. Spend and use energy wisely.

The time the photo was taken.. just Noon ... Yet zero harvest. It's not about people going to work for battery to charge because of ones battery and not big (and that cost millions), solar go off o grin

The point is, when nature brings the unexpected and it goes on for days, one will definitely need back up from other sources of energy.

If I'm complaining about no sun in southern Nigeria, what about people living in Amazon or Congo. Where rain fall most of the year? So one should have back up source to generate power in case... smiley

Were you able to push the 8kw limit?
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by samnaija: 8:55am On Oct 21
Peterlove11:

Yes i did, i t carried 3 air conditioners, note not inverter ac, then loaded other appliances 2 deep freezer, water heater i then checked the load capacity on the inverter 55 %, alright one more pumping machine. It caried everything without beeping, checked again 60%.later i noticed one ac was blowing only fan not chilling, i guess the inverter reduced its output. But my i accessment of the inverter very solid and stable. For me to on 3ac while at home, you cannot ask for more.

Sure thing, i am currently topping up my tubular batteries, usually i do this once a year, but because of the heavy use this past 2months i noticed some changes in the guages. Once i finish up will load pictures of all the inverters and price.
Once you enter solar, you become addicted, and always want upgrade. So wise decision plan ahead.

My next upgrade will likely be to use daytime load also at night e.g ac, pumping machine, water heater...

YES you can. Just bear in mind your 430w becomes a 300w. Now ask yourself if that's what you want.



Can u please prove this scientifically n mathematically sir, cos there's been some discussions ongoing regarding a person on this same platform that had mixed panels installed n yet gietting close to 100% harvest at STC

Unfortunately you and I are from a continent where our leaders are blind, In Asia, more than 70% of their vehicles are full electric vehicles, They use all manner of turbines and solar panels as renewable energy sources. Europe and America are gradually following same route.

Solar Panels that uses moon light are been developed and tested since a year now. Banner or Trampoline Panels are already in existence.

The modified spring torque electric motor generator has not gained popularity because despite generating free energy, It makes some noise while at it.

For our region, we currently rely on daytime solar energy as an alternative source of energy. Which brings us to Over sizing our systems in terms of batteries and solar panels.

This coming December will mark two years and six months I have been on Solar and Batteries, No Grid, No Gen. All household energy requirement are covered 100%.

I have been using hybrid vehicles since 2016, If you are a Hybrid Vehicle User, then you would know the peace of mind that comes with it.
My next vehicle will be full electric.

After training my kids through school, I want a situation whereby the only bill I have to pay will be TAX and VAT on transactions no paying for some damn energy that may not be cheap as time goes on.

I will advice everyone to go solar now. Energy Bills will never come down ever again !!!.

This post is not for the purpose of boasting, If God keeps me alive, I plan to attain this level of independence.

oweniwe:


I've actually been wondering if it is possible for renewal energy to take over from fossil fuels in the nearest future. But my experience with cloudy weather in August made me have a rethink grin

In other parts of the world where they have various climates (winter, autumn, spring, summer) ... How will they see sun in winter and autumn? Eventually they'll have to run back to using fossil fuels/thermal/other non solar sources of energy.

Solar is cool and lovely but I'll always keep gen back up for the weather grin

Just random chitchat.

Kind regards Boss

Since you are in Asaba I can refer you to someone who does repair there in Asaba.


However if the inverter is still on warranty, then service center is your option. However you go need get person whey go do the stress of going there/following up the process for you.

So choose from the 2 options

Thanks so much sir. The inverter is no longer on warranty. Can i get the person contact?
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by compunigeria: 10:19am On Oct 21
Hi.
I need help with Felicity 100A charging controller.

It keeps giving high battery voltage error ( error 04) after working for about 1 hour with load of about 500w during sunny days.

The battery is a 24v battery but the CC reading can go as high as > 53v any time the error happens.

Measuring the battery voltage with voltmeter ... From the battery terminals the voltage remains within normal range ( e.g 24.7v) but at the CC terminal i get high readings)


The PV is 8 250w panels with total of 2000w in 4S2P configuration.

I have tried the following without success

* changing the battery from Lithium 24v to Amaron quanta.
* changing the battery selection from auto to 24v.
* using different Absorption and float voltages (e.g 13.7 and 13.9)

I need help solving this pls

@Wonder1844 , @futurenix how did you solve yours please
