Hi Guys, I have 1200KW(6 X 200W) installed with a Xantra 24V, 60A CC, previously all my panels were in series but I just changed them after some advice I got here. The installer says when he tried to change the connection for my panels to 2 strings of 3 panels each by when the installer connected them we weren't getting any voltage at the CC, any ideas what could cause that? He changed the connection to 3 strings of 2 panels each (now my Vpv is ~60A, used to be about ~30A), I can see the improvements but I'm wondering why there was no voltage when the guy (supposedly) tried the 2 strings connection. |

all, as promised a few days back, here are pictures from my recent solar water heater installation. apologies for the undue delay. i've been quite busy of late and also the system has been undergoing rigorous stress tests to determine its viability under real world conditions. so first of all the frame which holds the water heater tank and evacuated glass tubes in place. we coupled this together before any thing else.

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by GeorgeD1(m): 9:27pm On Nov 03, 2016 |
test-mounting the tank to determine fit on the frame.

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by GeorgeD1(m): 9:32pm On Nov 03, 2016 |
evacuated glass tubes ready to be installed.

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by GeorgeD1(m): 9:34pm On Nov 03, 2016 |
the frame and water heater tank already mounted on its tower besides the main water tank.

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by GeorgeD1(m): 9:43pm On Nov 03, 2016 |
installing the glass tubes was a very delicate process. three men were involved each standing at strategic points along the tower.

steam from the sun. notice the white fumes everywhere. this is hot water without electricity! my plumber nearly got scalded when he mistakenly tried to work on the hot water line without first isolating it. he couldn't believe that water from the sun could be that hot! 2 Likes

next, i'll be doing the economics of using the sun to heat your water as against using public power. you guys will be shocked to see how much money is being thrown away yearly through ignorance. stay tuned! the sun truly is the answer! 3 Likes |

solar water heater. quite an investment on heating water. luxury is good my brother. I will need to advertise dis to 'mama put' for garri&apu to reduce her expense on firewood. thanks for interesting documentary. |

dicksonadams: dicksonadams, the water heater tank can retain hot water for up to 72hrs so night time usage is not an issue at all. just like your regular water heater, the water inside it does not suddenly become cold just because there is public power outage. same thing goes for the solar water heater. the water inside the tank doesn't suddenly go cold just because the sun has gone down. as for the eba bit, i'm sure you intended that as a pun but seriously, the water indeed gets really hot and you'll only need a little additional heating to get it to boiling point for eba or akamu or tea for that matter. afterall, do you make eba with hot water straight out of your ariston electric water heater at home? i'm sure the answer is no. 1 Like |

efuro: efuro, on the contrary, solar water heating is not a luxury as you seem to suggest but a necessity. wait until you see the economics side of this as compared to the regular electric water heater and you'll be in haste to edit your comment above. as for 'mama put' using firewood to heat water to make garri and akpu, you and i know that such is neither a sustainable practice nor is it environmentally acceptable in this day and age. when we talk of renewable energy, burning of fossil fuels and other forms of earth polluting substances cannot be a source of comparison - no matter how cheap they appear to be in the short term. 1 Like |
