@ All,
Good morning all.
please need price advice and any inputs on getting a 1-1.5kva hybrid inverter solar system.
Now a necessity.
thanks all.

Mind letting me have an idea of how affordable it is here?

Hello 30a a series mppt @ 60-65k , 40a is 70-75k , MT50 black remote meter @ 15-20k .. Thanks

Thanks sir, I actually mean the whole solar package and not inverter alone. Thanks

Yes & No!
I already have an idea of what it will cost, at least like 3 months back
The nairalander that i was looking forward to do it for me has gone seriously cold for months now (not that i was ready then though)
someone advertises here but have mailed the provided contact and he does not sound that serious, gave me a line to call which happened to be wrong.
Short story - i need a good deal and reliable person.
thanks.

Here is the picture of the CC working. Couldn't get the load A, because my inverter is connected directly to the battery.
Though I watched some video on youtube which stat that the CC is just a rip-off, because it doesn't have an Inductor, and would waste energy.
Any Idea the effect it might have on the battery?
If it isn't good, I will be ok if you could suggest a CC.

you need an mppt. 15a fangpusun 25k if interested

Hello Gurus in the house,

Please advise

Current System Configuration:
6 x 250W; 3 x 2 Series-Parallel Configuration; Vmp=30.1, Imp=8.31, Isc=8.71, Voc=36.4
CC: TS-MPPT-60; 3.5KVa 48V Inverter

Proposed new panel specification:
6 x 260W; Vmp=31.4, Imp=8.37, Isc=8.94, Voc=38.4

Proposed System Configuration (1):
3 x 4 Series-Parallel Configuration
My concern from varied online source is that old panel would negatively impact new panels and mppt would have a hard time identifying Vmp

Proposed System Configuration (2):
3 x 3 Series-Parallel Configuration; I eliminate 2 old panels and connect remaining 4 in series and parallel to new panels (3x2)
I suppose new panels would give maximum power but old panels (1000W) would be pulled down to a max of (780W) I guess.

What do you think the impact on system would be? Please advise.

Thanks

you did not specify if panels are mixed that is poly mixed with mono.

i assume you are using poly panels

please go with config 1. with ur MPPT

ur CC will probably pick the lowest values (i.e. Vmp=30.1, Imp=8.31, Isc=8.71, Voc=36.4 instead of Vmp=31.4, Imp=8.37, Isc=8.94, Voc=38.4)
at that rate you are granted of harvesting steady wattage for longer time particularly during raining season.
@48V battery bank you need all the panels.

nice effort too.

I concur. You can connect the old and new since their specifications are pretty close. Just not that the max PV current will be that of the 250w which is OK. Difference btw 250w n 260w is marginal. Install all ur panels. Another solution will be to have a separate cc for the old panels n another for the new panels.

Thanks Guys.

All panels are poly.

Harvest is good

To have this harvest daily means you consume this much power daily. How so?

I have a lot of opportunist loads that I run during the day like Water Heaters, Water Pump, Fridge, Freezer, Induction Cooker, Iron and Aircon.

My entire house is 100% off grid between 8am and 4pm. After 4pm, the Aircon, Iron and Induction cooker revert to grid power while the Water Heaters and Water Pump remain on Inverter power but are switched off. Fridge and Freezer remain ON on a two hours alternating cycle till 8am

I have a 20KWH battery bank from which I draw not more than 7KWH overnight.

OK...great.

Excellent! Very similar to mine... only difference is that my fridge/freezer also reverts to grid from 3pm.

How much power do you draw overnight?

What is your battery voltage and SOC by 7am?

dapsyra:

I'll monitor it when i get back home. Grid supply is usually stable at night, so battery is usually fully charged by daybreak.
If i remember correctly, my night time usage is usually 6 to 9kwh

dapsyra:

Pls this whole KWH is confusing to me, I know it's load in Watts X run time but when I have such an info above

20KWH battery & 7KWH consumption, how do I get to know what the load was & how long it lasted ?

hummmmmmmmmmmm

am speechless!

NEPA will really hate you !

and may soon bribe you with 'Ghana Must Come' bags to stop opening peoples eye to free sun energy.

imagine, see your 15.9 KwH x Nepa rate = (thousands of naira/day) x months or (years of going green) - (initial expenses)=

nice one & good savings!

me i still dey 3.4KWH/day Sha!

Nice one. I run a similar opportunistic load consumption. My consumption rarely exceeds 10kWH/day though I hit 12 - 15kWH/day at times. A 10.8kWH battery bank (225Ah x 48V) though lower now - one battery died. 3kW of PV panels. Loads go off at variable times typically 3 - 5pm. People at home know how to gauge the power generation hecnce power down early, should the need arise.

It's beautiful, belonging to the "green" family.

Next project is the solar water heater.

bros 6-9kwh at night is still high. Is there no way you can cut down consumption at night? Just thinking of the battery cost though. With this I doubt they will do 3yrs

I fully agree with you. One of my next goals is to take the security lights off the battery.
Next will be to replace my fans. I run two and they consume 135w each.
I average 500w throughout the night. I'd like to get it down to 200w. Which is cheaper? Increase my battery Bank or replace energy guzzling loads??

Replace energy guzzling load

The particular variant I ordered which has 4 LEDs is nolonger in circulation... Fortunately they have been replaced by improved version of what I have. The link below has the 6 led for less than 10 dollars. About 13 dollars including shipping.

These solar powered LEDs are even on jumia and konga. Currently checking them to know the ones to order.

replace energy guzzling loads, there are ceiling fan of 5w-28w, standing fan of 14w-35w. Energy saving bulbs (led) of 5w-18w. For security lights I will advise flood light of 20w-30w. These can cut down your consumption to 3-4kwh at night
