Wicked. Nice one. Good engineering control although guys can use step up to beat that.
Your irons are 110V too?

Refa:
Thanks to you all. I really feel at home here. I started with a 2000W 24V cotek inverter, a 30A Stecca PWM CC, 4X410AH (6V) battery, and 1400W mix solar panels. I need only lights and a few fans at the time for the place since I was living there less than half there only half the year at the time. It worked out well till battery maintenance started giving me issues. I had a few guys I had trained to do the maintenance, but neglected to do as long as they had lights. I sold most of my items to friends and family, used some to batter trade for building materials and when I replaced it with my current system; 8x430AH Crown Batteries, 3xMorningstar 60A MPPt CC, 1 Magnum 4448MPAE, 15x435 solar panels (these are rebranded Sunpower panels). I use the batteries for only Funs, TV, Lights in the night. The AC can be used during the day for about 4 hours and I do washing and ironing only during the day. The Fridge and the Freezer are on timers so they come on at 6:30 in the morning and go of at 7PM. The batteries are always are always between 50.8 and 51.2V in the morning. 2x35w flood lamps are on through the night and 6x35W flood lamps with motion sensors and photocell on all the time. I wired my place 110V since am not on the grid and most if not all my appliances are from the States. The 110V appliances also deters theft in my absence.

Lead acid is becoming less durable vis-à-vis their cost/life span. Lithium-ion ti take over!

mank1234:


Give examples of lithium-ion brand available in Nigeria and price.

DMerciful:
They are not available in Nigeria.but in US, China etc

chris81964:

Lithium is available. They cost a bit

GeorgeD1:
all,

those rooting for lithium batteries should know they have limitations too.

for instance, they don't handle overcharging very well and you'll have to
install additional voltage and charging current controls that you don't need
when it comes to traditional lead-acid.

bottom line, do your research very well before throwing your money away.
google is your friend!

tivta:


I disagree, iron Edison batteries are very rugged and approved to be charged by all current charge controllers, the only thing is that they are super expensive but last a life time...

dapsyra:


Iron Edison batteries are not Lithium batteries. They both represent very different technologies with corresponding advantages and disadvantages.

GeorgeD1 is right about Lithium batteries inability to tolerate overcharging. They are irreversibly damaged by overcharging.

Tivta is also right about Iron Edison batteries high tolerance for abuse. They are very rugged, can be overcharged, undercharged and deep discharged to 0% SOC.

Gennextech:
Good Afternoon house, please find attached our new price list, please note we have 12/24/48v/60a charge controller in stock . Thank you for your continued patronage on this platform , we are very grateful.

Jamzig1:

Please, what's the difference between the 5kva/48v (3000w mppt) par-A and Par-B?

Gennextech:

The par B can be cascaded to 30kva output but the par A can only be used as a single unit

Installed 8 units of J185 Trojans in August 2014, yesterday had to retire 4 of them. 3 were reading below 10v on on load. Despite regular maintenance and equalisation.
How is it on the other side?.
This flooded whaala Don dey pass my power Oo.

I feel your pains bro.. Pls always observe DOD setting when installing inverters with flooded batteries . Prag 3kw upwards, Cyberpower,A&E,magnum etc has DOD settings.. Cheers!
