TSHIRT2: 12v!...strange it survived uptill this moment./i guess the placement of ur panels isnt optimal, thus u r not harvesting the full 500w from the panels....or ur panels could be fake alaba panels that are not upto the name plate wattage thus might be 300w n not 500w as stated i wud recommend u save up and buy a 45amp/40 amp charge controller, that would be cheaper than converting ur system to a 24v n still maintaing a 20/30 amp charge controller |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by TSHIRT2: 2:01pm On Apr 26, 2015 |
earthrealm:d panels a imported from china 125w each for street lighting contract,using d left over from d contract.concerning placemt,sun rises east at my place and was place facing east at almost 45degree.wayforward now is saving to get 40-60amp charger controler thinking 4 upgrade later |

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Saipro(m): 6:58pm On May 02, 2015 |
Great job everyone. Been following the trhead for a few years now (since latching onto the complementary FTA thread). Been worried about the initial capital (despite minimal annual overhead) but the erratic spate of grid power supply has pushed me to my limits. I'm planning on investing in a 2kVA setup even though 1.5kVA should cater to my initial needs. My problem is I'm a stickler for what works and might be unwilling to expand later. I'm looking at getting 250W or 480W panels. Could any of the big boys in the house (preferable everyone of you guys) come up with a likely suitable configuration? This would include not just equipment but brands too. I want something reasonable in price yet won't gimme headaches. Please include both AC and DC surge arresters as I absolutely hate regrets. Thanks for your anticipated favourable contributions. On to you George_D, TotalGreen, BodeJohn et al |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Saipro(m): 7:32pm On May 02, 2015 |
Saipro: Crucial to me are reliable brand names and addresses and names of trusted suppliers. I'm considering - 250W 24V x 6 panels or 480W 24V x 4 for starters - MorningStar TS-MPPT-60 x 1 (if the first configuration) or MorningStar TS-MPPT-60 x 2 (if the second one). the first configuration appears cheaper (at least on the short run) - Trojan L16RE-A 6V batteries x 4 - Su-kam 1500VA/24V OR Su-kam 2000VA/24V inverter (either Torque or Shiny series). Kindly modify/ammend/rewrite as suitable Thanks |

No response yet but I've chosen not to PM anyone (yet) as I want others to learn something from my tryouts. I've learnt a lot of things in life from the tryouts of others too. Awaiting suggestions. Thanks |

Saipro:Since you're looking for brand names, contact coogumo or richmond or kiekie... Go thru the threads, u will see countless calculations on how to arrive at any config depending on ur daily energy consumption. 1 Like |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by GeorgeD1(m): 9:25pm On May 04, 2015 |
saipro, you basically are starting off on the wrong foot. your first and most important consideration should be what total load you plan to run and not on which configuration is better or cheaper. if you really want to avoid disappointments in the future this is the way to go. firstly get an idea of your total house load. that will help you get your optimal battery bank sizing which in turn will give you what number of panels you will need to recharge your bank to your desired soc. after that you can talk of your bos (balance of system) items viz charge controllers, surge arestors, etc does any of this make sense to you? |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by TSHIRT2: 1:20pm On May 05, 2015 |
Pls my seniors advice me,pls i need a quick fix 4 my burnt 20a controller. 1:A 60amp pwm charge controler with lcd monitor and was said that can work with 2000w of panal. OR 2:A 40amp mppt charge controller without lcd monitor and said to work with 1000w of panel though not high end controla. So which one shd i buy as quick fix 4 my 500w 12v system.All a product on Aliexpress. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Saipro(m): 2:04pm On May 05, 2015 |
GeorgeD1: Perfectly so. My apologies. I failed to mention I've had a generic 1.4kVA inverter backed by two 200Ah batteries in parallel. I've a standby charger in case I need a quick "fix" to charge my batteries (the inverter charges a bit slower). This system can be keep me running for 24 hours and up to 36 hours. It's been doing that since 2008 when I returned to Ilorin. Discounting my heavy equipment (which never go on the backup power anyway), my total consumption is maxed out at 1400W in a day, typically about 900W. This is about max 400W during the day on weekends (which is when people are home) and up to 500W at night (if they're watching movies till 2am). I'd actually done a bit (translated = a lot)) of research on the subject matter and been using inverters since around the year 2000 (irregularly then but stable since 2008) and both savings and reliability is why I want to upgrade to a hybrid system. Don't get me wrong, if I knew it all, I wouldn't be here. My area of interest is power systems so I know enough to tell you the theoretical stuff and the application on the field don't always tally in results. Nor expectations. That's why I've voiced out my interest here. I've humbly come forward to glean from your extensive collective library of experience. Together we stick; apart we're stuck. I'm a DIY kinda guy and I don't wanna get stuck. Thanks once more. ALL helpful suggestions are welcome. And thanks GeorgeD1. Your response means a lot to me. |

Hello folks, nice work going on here even though I have been a silent student learning from the masters before I take the plunge. I just decided to contribute my own small quota in putting up the link below for newbies who seek more indepth knowledge of Solar in a very layman language. ![]() http://www.bimblesolar.com/beginnersguide @Saipro, the following link might just help you out in your quest before you hook up with abunafiu =======> http://www.bimblesolar.com/solarcalc Going back to studying mode . . . . . . . ![]() |

@ all, got home 2day to b told dat my 1.4kva sukam inverter power switch nt functioning for past 2 weeks, tot it was d switch, but after removin d switch cable on d board stil refuse to power off. Every other tin on d inverter is workin well except not powering off. My family managed to power it off and on wit d breaker btw d inverter and bat3. PLS hope powering off and on wit dis breaker is safe? Also wot can b wrong. Wit d inverter. Thx |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by pranil(m): 3:08pm On May 09, 2015 |
bode4real: The switch is faulty - It can be replaced at a very small cost 1500 NGN - a good electrician can also do it . Off course when repairing take care to disconnect all power supplies. The battery MCB will fail if you keep on using it to power off . It is meant only for maintenance duty . wbr Anil |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by bode4real(m): 4:26pm On May 09, 2015 |
@Pranil, as I said its not d switch, I use multimeter. And d switch is makin and breakin wen pressed also I av removed d switch leg from d mainboaard and stil refuse to go off. As for d breaker I install btw it and bat3, I kkno it wil damaged quick but wot I'm sayin is effect on d inverter bcuz of dis sound u get. Wenever d iinverter sees d battery. |
