guys, as promised in the official fta thread, here are live pictures of my solar installation completed a few days back. an additional 400w of sharp solar module was just what was added to the existing system. preparing the bracket for roof installation: 1 Share

@George D, A promise kept. This is an ambitious project man! It must have gulped a mil. Your setup is better than generator, the only problem is the initial capital outlay. Go ahead and coach us. We are all ears, abi na EYES? Congrats, 24hr FTA viewing without noise, smoke, fuel or NEPA bills. |

@George_D: Nice project. Simple and well constructed accessories to go along with it. Na time & money remain for my own. I've done the site planning and stuff already ![]() |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by litaninja(m): 7:29pm On Jul 29, 2010 |
@ George_D: 1 question just to confirm, is the voltage regulator in the pic for charging the inverter from mains or for regulating the output from the inverter? |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by TOWNJUJU: 1:09pm On Jul 30, 2010 |
oga George infact u 2muchhhhhhh. but wait oh how much all this tin worth. Pls figure. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by obnelly: 7:49pm On Jul 30, 2010 |
How much it worths is not the issue try and learn how is being set up and go to market and get your material ready. Good job George D, running electricity with ordinary firewood will surely be my project.I am working on it. |

@ george, with your first pix you posted, i can see something i'm sure few others could be seeing that i will hold in exchange for ransom from you anything you do me wrong. Solo1ng1, you also can see what i'm thinking, PADLOCKS, oga george if you could be using padlocks for mere solar panel guard on yur roof top where all eyes could see, i'm very sure you must have invested heavily in the house security system too. Well this is a challenge and a wake up call for individuals who want to enjoy FTA to the peak. With the power conferred on me by the deities, i now add this chieftaincy title to you, as Bobajiroro of FTA in Nigeria, oye a mori ooooo |

@all, I have an inverter 500va max and charger for charging my batteries since I dont have a solar panel, but my problem is that I bought two 200ah 12volt battery and I dont know how to connect it and get best result,pls someone instruct me on what to do, or how to connet it,my inverter is 12volt. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by BUTONEDAY(m): 8:40pm On Aug 01, 2010 |
iykemann: @ Ikemann, This case is simple. Your batteries are 12 volts, inverter is 12 volts and your charger may be 12 volts as well. All you need do is to connect the positive terminal of battery A to the positive terminal of battery B. Do like wise for the negative terminals. Thereafter, connect a line each from the positive and negative jumper cables to the positive and negative terminals respectively of your inverter and battery charger. Enjoy |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by GeorgeD1(m): 9:35am On Aug 02, 2010 |
zenus: zenus, each sharp solar panel of 200w is about 180k and the morningstar ts-45 charge controller is about 60k. for your 2.5kva inverter, assuming your using 2 batteries of 12v/200ah you will need a minimum 2pcs of these type of modules to enjoy. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by GeorgeD1(m): 9:42am On Aug 02, 2010 |
litaninja: litaninja, the voltage regulator (solar charge controller) in the picture is for regulating the input current from the solar array which is used to charge the battery bank. it also serves a dual purpose of blocking excessive current from pasing from the battery bank to the array when charging with phcn or at night when the sun is down. the inverter has its own in-built charger that regulates what current goes in to charge the batteries. 2 Likes |

enitan, no mind me o jare. the padlocks are not really necessary and they will eventually be removed. iykemann, i think your question has already been answered. |

@Geoge D, Babajiroro of Nigeria FTA (courtesy Enitan2002) could you pls confirm the merits and demerits of parallel vs series connection of batteries to store energy. Does it have any effect on the inverter, the charge cotroller or the batterry themselves? |
