If you had any sense of what true DIY is, you would be clamouring for those days when members here would collaborate to order cells from China and everyone got their money's worth. Instead you buy shylock battery still go keep, dey cap rubbish.

Sorry sir.No vex!!! I rest my case!!!

There is a reason why some of us Installers are expensive. We go extra miles to achieve proper installations. I personally do not install equipment outside the recommendations of the Manufacturer.
Some of us met RE halfway and dabbled into it to make ends meet, while some of us were already certified engineers before the emergence of RE. This to categories of us might work alike in the field but might not produce the same results.
Most of us do no know the importance of Earthing and Grounding.
Most of us do no know that improperly sizing your cables can lead to energy losses, either by length, by heat when you undersize it or by cross-section when you oversize it.
Most of us do not know that breakers and etc. has their various capacities and when you don't respect the parameters, can lead to damages in your devices. And the list goes on.

What they told you is the pure truth about warranties, most RE Equipment Manufacturers and dealers will state it clearly that "WARRANTY DEPENDS ON FINAL INSTALLATION" while some will let you fall prey before you learn this fact.

I would suggest you have your stuff properly installed first, and if no damage has been inflicted already, you should be fine. If a damage has been done to your equipment already, well, YANK THOSE STUFF TO THE SERVICE CENTER FOR REPAIRS.

FROM WHAT I SUSPECT:
Either your INVERTER COMMUNICATION BOARD or YOUR BATTERY BMS might have suffered and ESD damage which happens when sensitive terminals where made to have contacts with an Electrically Charged Item, eg, your PALMS or other SURFACES. Touching the pins of the RJ45 Cable while the other end is connected to either the INVERTER or BATTERY can lead to this fault.
This is also avoidable by simply and properly grounding the Body Casings of Both Inverter and Battery as GROWATH recommended and demonstrated in your USER MANUALS and they also warned that "All wiring must be performed by a qualified person". So while you periodically touch the casings during the installation, you are also discharging the Static Electric Charges on your palms via the ground lines you have connected to it.

I wish you luck bro. ENOUGH SAID ALREADY.

burnerr:

I contacted my supplier and they hooked me up with one of their installers, after hours of debugging there was no solution and he told me that my cable might be faulty then before the call ended told me that my installation does not meet their standards due to not having a breaker between the battery and the inverter and also using an incorrect breaker in my installation meaning if my system is to develop a fault it won't be covered by warranty (which I think he said to try to stop me from claiming warranty rights).

JJacko:
The major point of DIY is to reduce costs to match quality. We shouldn't be in the business of pushing pesin market to the point where it gives the chance to turn around and chop people head.
For someone that built his business on the back of this thread/forum, Valto is greedy, call a spade a spade. And never talk about build quality in the same sentence again.

Same Valto wey dey sell 15kwh battery for 2.2m. How many companies fit give you that price?

Does he have the cheapest prices on the market? No. Are his prices extortionate? No. They're right about fair. This is a bizzare rant really. If you have an issue with the quality of his products, then just say it instead of this rigmarole.

60A Chrisolar MPPT solar charge controller available
Currently one of the best selling controller.

It's an hybrid inverter, 60a mppt.

The inverter is a 12v inverter with a maximum voltage of 50v, meaning I can't run the 3 panels in series because each panel is about 25v.

Is there a way I can run the panels to produce at most 30a?

Please pardon me to ask what is the name and model number of the hybrid inverter, because I have not seen any 60amp hybrid mppt inverter having 50v maximum voltage. Others I have seen are 60amps by 150v, 40amps by 150v.. then single controller are 20amps by 50v , 30amps 75v, 40amps by 100v..please post the name and model.

Please house, I need help.
Two 150w mono and two 150w poly connected in 2s 2p with mppt cc suppose to give out how many ah?

Second system
Two 150w mono and two 200w mono connected in parallel with mppt cc suppose to give out how many ah?

Nteogwuija:
Hi, guys. So I did a parallel connection of 3 350w panels, with each having a maximum current of 13.6a. And I've noticed that whenever the sun is very high my DC breaker would go off and the system will stop charging. I'd have to turn it back on b4 it resumes charging.

The wire is a 4mm² coated wire.

Please, what do I have to change to rectify this?

The wire size is too small for that amps. If you notice it, the wire usually gets hot or warm before the breaker trips.

What is the rating of your MCB (Breaker)?

Simply 13.6A x 3 = 40.8A So your Breaker must not be less than 40A.
Your best shot is 45A.
Also consider changing your wire to 6 mm² gauge.

Just get a 60a powrmr mppt charge controller and connect the 3 panels in series, a 2s2p configuration may not work in your best interest as I think your inverter's inbuilt cc is pwm

15.5kwh is now 2M range.. from some chinese Seller and full capacity cells.

Make Valto no dey over promise, My oga like phrase like cheaper, cheapest in the market, better than and all. Hence people's expectations are high.

I remember quoting his when he said someone can get cells cheaper from him than wait for 3 months.

Truth Hits hard, Focus on this topic, the complain is that the guy want it cheaper and feels DIY person should sell at loss.

And if you read my feedback, I am only explaining that, but you went off Topic and emotional.
No be Valto dey give High expectations, See Attached.
Incredible and better is the motto

Analyze with open mind and stop being emotional.

Na person wey carry market to DIY group wey people are woke!! Dey look for trouble.

People here want to save cost and learn, thats why they are here. I have shared direct dealership prices to many..

On my videos, I revealed the Cworth's 12V 100ah original price, which is lower contrary to what it was advertised here for at a time.

I have indirectly spoil market for persons, but no be my fault its a DiY group.

Guy this bad bele nor go help una 4 dis gp. There are several sellers on this gp. If u don't feel comfortable with a person's price simply move to the next. Several links to Chinese battery sellers have been posted here. Simply buy ur cells n import them, couple ur cells n relax ur mind. FYI felecity 15kwh battery is 3.1m naira. From thier outlet not alaba folks. How else do you want a diy pack to be more cheaper dan dat of valto.make una de use una brain 4 here. So na DIY thread com min say dem de pik cells 4 ground?

What is bad belle in your context?

You are not reading with open mind

React to the advert, I attached screenshots.

The contention is about the expectations that was created.

No be me promise people what I can't deliver.

Na why the country is in the mess, we like people wey go lie to us..

If i no too busy, I will be dropping update from Top brands and the prices.

Watch this space!!

maklelemakukula:

Thanks for your input. This is my first solar project so I intend to use a well known brand. When it's time for the next one I'll use Valto.
I haven't bought any panels yet but intend to buy 8 615watt jinko panels, will these be sufficient ?

Lolz at ur 'well known brand'. U sud google them and see ow a few do not even meet up to their advertised capacity

Abeg make una drop updates o. Abeg

I just bought 5 * Cworth 350w panels. I'll be mounting it by next week. I'll update here the performance. Let's see how it compares with top brands like jinko and JA.

To buy and ship in cells is not a joke ooo.
It runs into millions...

If ppu can still buy tubular in 2025 and praise it....

There is a reason why some of us Installers are expensive. We go extra miles to achieve proper installations. I personally do not install equipment outside the recommendations of the Manufacturer.
Some of us met RE halfway and dabbled into it to make ends meet, while some of us were already certified engineers before the emergence of RE. This to categories of us might work alike in the field but might not produce the same results.
Most of us do no know the importance of Earthing and Grounding.
Most of us do no know that improperly sizing your cables can lead to energy losses, either by length, by heat when you undersize it or by cross-section when you oversize it.
Most of us do not know that breakers and etc. has their various capacities and when you don't respect the parameters, can lead to damages in your devices. And the list goes on.

What they told you is the pure truth about warranties, most RE Equipment Manufacturers and dealers will state it clearly that "WARRANTY DEPENDS ON FINAL INSTALLATION" while some will let you fall prey before you learn this fact.

I would suggest you have your stuff properly installed first, and if no damage has been inflicted already, you should be fine. If a damage has been done to your equipment already, well, YANK THOSE STUFF TO THE SERVICE CENTER FOR REPAIRS.

FROM WHAT I SUSPECT:
Either your INVERTER COMMUNICATION BOARD or YOUR BATTERY BMS might have suffered and ESD damage which happens when sensitive terminals where made to have contacts with an Electrically Charged Item, eg, your PALMS or other SURFACES. Touching the pins of the RJ45 Cable while the other end is connected to either the INVERTER or BATTERY can lead to this fault.

Insulated hand glove is being worn for a reason. Nice write up bro

SourYoghurt:
hello folks, I need you guy's input on this. I have 3× 550w Jinko panels with a 12v battery from Va.lto and a 2kv sunfield hybrid inverter, I don't exceed 510w from the PV even during peak sunshine. Most times to get 400w+ I'd have to off and on the inverter. It is always around 260w.
And the panels surface are clean. I was expecting at least 1000w input from the PV or is the connection faulty?

For sunny period I dey see 500w, what about rainy season, how man go survive?

U sud check ur panels connection. Have the same inverter installed for a client with 2 450w and i was getting abt 600w with good sun during a routine check
