JUO:I knew this quotation thing will not sattisfy the op. I suggest the op should work with vendors of his choice( many of them have their contacts published here). Feel free to choose if any one disappoints you. I bet you that no vendor will do more than what chris has done. There are many online shops too to buy from. if u check below this page....there's an advertisement from one of our own. So pls op decide on what u want and work closely with your budget. cheers. cc: JohnKester |

JUO: Juo, that's the point... I actually assumed he has an installer who briefed him on solar tech / alternate power source...I just drove down to lagos today, will definitely offer him discounts whenever he sole wishes to purchase ! Thanks. |

kiekie1: Welcome back to Lagos! Be unassuming, as your assumptions would always, more often than not, be wrong. I hope I can expect to receive your quotation or request for more details, now that you are back to Lagos. So we can kick off the discussions towards the transaction. Cheers. 1 Like |

sathob:Some corrections. The panels don't get 7 hours of direct sunshine. That number varies by location. For Lagos the charts say 4.5 on average. For the batteries. You use the system voltage not the individual battery voltage. If you have a 12 24 or 48 volt inverter you divide by the inverter voltage. You also need to build in at least one day of autonomy into your system. And the final and most critical is the size of the battery bank. The minimum size it should be is 2 x your usage. The fastest way to destroy a battery is by completely discharging them and recharging them. Lead acid batteries hate that. You have given the best explanation for System and battery sizing that I have seen in a while. Keep up the good work 1 Like |

DUNKA: hello dunka, apologies for the late reply. i have really been away from the forum for a while now. yes indeed. three years on, my zenith batteries are still performing as new. if i have a choice i will buy them all over again. very soon, it will be time for my yearly 'turn-around' maintenance. i will be posting results of battery nominal voltages which will be used to compare with previous years. |

Some months ago,a friend seek my help to check his solar setup.he said that his system even shutdown on full sunny day...on getting there, i went up to see d panels of 80watt of 8 pieces,getting to the controller this is what the installer mounted as charge controller. pix......

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by temizeee(m): 8:29am On Oct 01, 2015 |
Checking the connection,i discovered that the installer connected the 8 panels in series (voc)=20.2 d norminal voltage of each panel is 17.8v+_ i was reading 152.8v from the panel to that tin can(cc), and that is feeding a 24v 800ah deep cycle ba3. I was shocked!!! after i opened the cc here is the view

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by temizeee(m): 8:41am On Oct 01, 2015 |
So i decided to add more panels which will be sufficient to charge d ba3s,installed 60amp mppt(itracer),30a cc as well all supplied by KIEKIE Now the system is running almost offgrid...went there last week he said he doesn't really care much about public power supply since the upgrade I will advise everyone to be careful of the installer that you call to do installation......i believe the ba3 will probably explode one day or get dead if there wasn't correction... Just an advice tho. D new cc pix follow: 1 Like

How do you revive a dying Trojan J185? Background: This is the design: 5kVA Indian Inverter (with 20A charging Charging Current @48V). 8 units of Trojan 12V 205Ah (J185). 4 in series. 2 paralleled with the Inverter follow-come cables. Location: Osun State. Installation date: December 2014. Current status: battery low after 45 minutes. House, how can these precious batteries be rescued? The installation was done for my Pastor's house. |

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by kiekie1(m): 6:22pm On Oct 01, 2015 |
Pharyn: That inverter ain't suitable for trojan batteries and there is no solar set up in the picture as posted to supplement maximum charging and flooded battery equalisation ... If you are interested in my rugged 4kw 48v inverter which can equalise those Trojan batteries back to life and maintain optimal electrolyte level, you can contact me via my hotline contact in my profile !! Thanks |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by c0ogumo(m): 6:39pm On Oct 01, 2015 |
Pharyn: 1.) You need a good inverter with 40A-60A charging current and capable of equalizing the Trojan batteries. 2.) The cables are very thin, you need thicker cables. Please visit our website www.solardepotng.com for various inverter options. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Barezzi(m): 8:38pm On Oct 01, 2015 |
@temizeee Very shocking indeed! Such a dangerous setup, no protections, exposed high voltage cables... and that looks like the guy's main lounge! If e kill am dem for say na the grandma for village... |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by chris81964(m): 9:02pm On Oct 01, 2015 |
Pharyn: Good choice of batteries. 1. Change the cables. They need to be thicker. (depending on the voltage 35 MM is the minimum). I use 50 MM minimum 2. Get a new inverter or an AC charger 3. Check the specific gravity of each cell 4. Charge them fully. ( your charger has to be able to go through a bulk absorb and float ). Set the bulk at 29.6 5. Run an equalization charge at 31 Volts for 1 hour. This should bring them back if they are not too badly gone. You might have to repeat this many times during the week to recover the batteries. They are tough batteries and can take the abuse. Good luck. This is what happens when you get a quote and then ask someone to beat it and install the same equipment. That is what we say to a lot of people that get quotes from us. Having the recipe does not make you a chef or a good cook. 3 Likes |

who is using a mustpower inverter? am thinking of upgrading my system to a 3kw/3.5kwa inverter, considering either prag 4kw or luminous 3.5kw or 4kw mustpower, i have seen prag and luminous in action...i like them..cooling fans only come on when needed n are not too loud........prag has batt life charge/life indicator.......its mustpower that i dont have any info on. can some1 pls confirm if its not loud/with fans running 24/7 and it has a batt life/charge status in percentage or bars? |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by earthrealm(m): 7:43am On Oct 03, 2015 |
sad news...my morning star 45amp CC has died....my folks in the village hv been complaining that the inverter barely lasts 10mins for a couple of days now...was finally able to go check it, thinking twas the heavy rains or something...but alas in bright sunlight the CC was displaying 0amp,i checked the log and this zero harvest started 10days ago....they reported no ligtening strike...so am rally at loss what might hv damaged it......has anyone experienced this b4?...and any luck in repairing it? the unit is about 21 months old. 4 x 250w 24v renogy panels connected in series. input voltage usually hovers around 130v. system is hooked up to 2 x 200amphr luminous batts, and 1.5kva 24v luminous inverter.... any suggestions would be welcome, attached is a pic of the unit

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by chris81964(m): 8:08am On Oct 03, 2015 |
earthrealm:I am playing taps. What did the manual say the input voltage should be? In Nigeria they will repair anything. Disconnect it and check all your connections. Reconnect. Sorry for your loss |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by hisenjos: 3:12pm On Oct 03, 2015 |
earthrealm: As suggested, check your connections. Check your pv voltage at your breaker before the charge controller. Most likely a bad panel - Have had similar experience -diode burnt out at panel connector |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by temizeee(m): 6:23pm On Oct 03, 2015 |
earthrealm:remove the + & - pv cable from the cc... retwist it very well n reconnect...afterall, remove all connections from the cc n reconnect them. |
