The panels are even too much. Every day before 10:30am battery is fully charged from what was used at night. Even yesterday when there was no strong sun but cloud, it was giving 2.4kwh at 9am
whats your overnight consumption? Seems u dont use Air Conditioner on it?

He is always ready to answer your questions even if it sounds dumb. With him, there are no stupid questions, if it were to be some other persons they will block you or not respond at all.

I don't really want to spoil this but I have to let this off my chest once and for all. When I was ready for my installation, his lack of response to my 'stupid questions', even after reading it, made me go elsewhere.

The man is ignorant with his opinion.
When charging LFP, it can take you hours to charge from 2.9v to 3.38v. But from 3.38v to 3.65v can take you even just 8-10 minutes.

When you are discharging from 3.65v with load, it can take you just 5 mins to go down to 3.37v or lower which is the settling volt. That's just how LFP works.

I knew he's ignorant when he said you are losing 40% of charge like say one will get extra hours from charging to 100% over 90%. With load it won't take you 5 mins to get back to 3.37 or lower.

A good advice he gave is that ONCE IN A WHILE, you charge full to activate balancing at top voltage. But active balancers of today, you can set them to start active balancing at 3.4v or higher based on your taste.

Note also he mentioned temperature. These people live in places of 25ºc highest, and you live in 31-45ºc (my place is 41c). You'll just be stressing your cells and killing it over time.

Any way, we all should do as we like

Highest 4-5kwh total overnight. That's why a 4kw panel setup charges it back up in 2 hours before 10am.

I don't use AC, but I get like 3 fans for my room 😭😭

What is your average temperature when charging vs when battery are full?

4.5M, without the installation of solar panels.

How good is this proposed setup:

1) Jinko 615W Monofacial Solar Panel (two panels in total = 1,230)

2) 3KVA 24V Hybrid Inverter With Inbuilt 4000W MPPT Controller

3) 24V 5KWH 200AH Lithium (LiFePO4) Battery


What else is missing?

Looking good, 4 panels will take you OFF grid, if your average usage is 7kwh Daily

This is a good start.. anyways..

Hmmm....I actually work like 8 - 10 pm, let's say 12 midnight...let's say 16 hours...

I am trying to reduce costs...maybe the inverter...I need to understand something based on your experience.

When the battery is full, does it rely solely on the panels during the daytime? Like it switches automatically or...

Thanks.

You can set priority, to SUB.. solar first. When battery is full the energy coming from solar will power your loads until sun is not enough to power and it start taking from grid or Batteries depending on which js available....

I remember this period of "no response". A lot of us complained but later when he returned and told us his story, we all understood, as he went through hell and back for an extended period, being hospitalised and going through a major life changing surgery.
I like the fact that you aired Ur grievances and moved on. I know subsequent transactions will be smooth and satisfactory.

Bros the matter pass malaria and typhoid oh. I still hail his resilience for bouncing back as soon as he did, most people would have been in depression by now and would have found it difficult to continue, but he faced all odds and is back to his hustle. He's really a great man.

Hello everyone. I need your advice please.
I have a 24v system comprising of a 3kva sako inverter and a 3.2kwh lifepo4 battery.

Load is majorly a 100w fan + 130w fridge(on for 4hrs/day)

I want to get solar panels to complement my setup but my landlord will not allow more than one panel on his roof(Lagos landlord wahala).

Will a 550w jinko panel suffice for the load of 24v/250-300 watts?

Please note that I'll be supporting with utility .
Also note that my inverter starts up at 30v according to the specifications on it.

Why not put them on a car port? Why must it be on the roof?

Is there no space for a car port?

Will do when I get home, thanks.

Still, it doesn't matter how long it charges full from the panels or public power, like for example, last Sunday, there was light throughout.

Yet, once they took the light, battery indicator immediately dropped by almost half.

Hello oga loneley, I'm about getting a gsr battery can I have your honest review about it's user expert so far

There's barely space for walking. No space at all for the port. Only choice is the roof.

I have the 580w. Three of them in series and get ~146v

So you should be getting around 47v from yours typically.

I have seen people keep it by the frontage if it is a storey building.

Seen someone whose own was installed by or on the the fence here.

That may also be an option.

I pray you move to a better place
