@efuro thanks for the wish. DMerciful: Thanks for the kind words...funny enuf you encouraged me to buy the itracer . Kudos for taking up the challenge to DIY after the disappointment which I was well aware of and now you can start coaching others.The citizens are helping themselves and helping the planet stay green. Solar ti take over Thanks to all the gurus here...one big green family I am so glad to welcome an August vistor in my house on xmas day for the inspection and the commissioning of my solar system, the person of d great Dmerciful. I really appreciate the time spent and d stress encountered in this festive period of which he missed d way before locating my place as promised which is way far 2 opposite side to your place. Thanks a million. This forum is bringing more of us together more beyond online friend. He had a nice with me and my family and also took a pix. 6 Likes |

Oga dem, I wish to inform the house on my upgrade to Solar and hope this will spice up the yuletide. Below is my kit after a long time of learning from u all. It is an integration of solar to an existing inverter system 18 X 255W Canadian Solar Panels 9 Solar panels facing South on Uniral Solar mounts and 9 facing North on Uniral Solar mounts and Tilt legs 1 X 600W wind Turbine All items grounded to earth
1 X Outback FlexMax 80A 1 X 6 point Combiner box 1 X 125A Midnite DC Disconnect 1 X 48V Battery Life Saver 1 X Midnite Battery Capacity Meter 1 X 300 midnite solar A. C surge arrestor 1 X 115 (150V) midnite solar D. C surge arrestor
1 X Anypower 6000W 48V Inverter – pre-owned 8 X Zenith 200AH batteries – 400AH in 48V configuration – pre-owned Various protection accessories 25mm from combiner to CC 35mm from CC to DC/Battery 50mm from battery to Inverter Yet to complete – due to time though the materials are available Upgrade of battery cables to 70mm Installation of Battery Isolator switches per Bank and meter

My gratitude goes to everyone in the House without whom my knowledge, resilience and drive to achieve this would not have come to be. Mega gratitude to GeorgeD1 – Olorogun of RE.

It took me some time to acquire all the items to upgrade to SOLAR, all because of the long throat i have.
It is about three days old and the harmattan haze has not helped but was able to get a maximum of 2480watts sometime, giving me the hope that without the haze, better days are ahead.

@Javid4me
Nice professional grade setup. Congrats!
I am seriously thinking of adding a wind turbine to my setup. So, can you please give us more info about your wind turbine? A detail specification or datasheet will be appreciated.
I noticed that it is wired directly to the battery busbar. Does it have an inbuilt charge regulator and clipper?
What is the startup wind speed? |

I am in awe. What wind turbine controller do you use? I would suggest two charge controllers if you have your panels on different parts of the roof. Thank you Sir. I really appreciate the feed back. I considered the additional cost implication of two CC with ancillaries and defaulted to increasing my panels to 18 and the use of the Tilt legs on the North facing Panels. Surprisinly, The North facing panels generated more juice than the South facing panels during installation tests. So on the overall, i believe i am above average. It was a Big lesson for me.

@javid4me, honestly speaking I no fit comment. You have done very well sir. Will comment after reading the wind turbine link. Congratulations.
I am sure you are now feeling like hitting a Phcn pole... Lol. My current set up of 4kw solar array, 4kw inverter and 48v450ah Trojan Batts is firing well too. Hit absorption as early as 1pm. 16 to 17kwh daily harvest. Location is Ilorin. I now live off grid.
@Earthrealm, let Me answer your question from the other thread. I have been considering a DC pump but I will get one next year. I decided to use the 0.5hp due to cost. About the discharge rate of the pump I have not been able to get an accurate measurement. I assume it takes approximately 50 min to fill my 2000 liter tank. I am not sure of this sha. But I am sure it take less than 1hr to fill the 2k liter Tank. My next plan is to increase my PV strength to 5kw bcoz of pumping water for the neighbors whose prayers keep coming all day. "Oga how much be this solar if I wan do"...the rest na 1 minute silence. Lol 5 Likes |
