good morning all, after reading so much, i decided to go the solar way and would like to start one room at a time . . . by order of priority . . . as electricity here is very poor . . . . just about 2 days in a week or for 2 weeks, very pathetic can someone please advise a good battery to go for? PV manufacturer? charge controller? etc there are many brands out there and can't seem to make a good choice thank you so much. |

7 Special Features: * 99% specification accuracy. * Works all-day-long without external back-ups at all, (i.e. no public power or NEPA, no generator & no solar panels incorporation also) * Super sensitive over-load & short-circuit protection - to ensure its durability. * Runs 24/7, non-stop continuous operation while powering equivalent load. * Super-fast recycling self-charging with constant voltage & constant current technology to ensure balanced batteries compensation during the auto - charging, (the first of its kind) * Can power water pump, fridge or ACs with electric iron, electronics, light & fans at the same time unlike the ordinary conventional inverters. * Longer battery lifespan, up to 3 years minimum even if used with ordinary automobile batteries, then how much more with original deep cycle types..? More Durable, Reliable, Renewable & Affordable than the ordinary conventional inverters if compered with similar capacities of these unique products... tundebabzy: |

They are 12V regular UPS batteries but for higher KVA inverters, we use deep cycle batteries. Barezzi: |

pranil: Very thorough research work! An additional column stating the recommended and max. charge current will also be beneficial. Some customer applications may require battery banks with fast charge capabilities or high current charge rates. For example, the Simpliphi 2.6kWh, only has a max charge rate of 25A or 50A if paralleled to 5.2kWh (48V version). Whereas BattleBorn and BlueNova batteries can accept up to 1C charge rates, effectively making them a better choice for fast charge or high current applications. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by pranil(m): 3:10pm On Sep 24, 2017 |
Very good idea the charge rates are same most of the time as discharge currents but I will add the column for the max charge current |

Solar Water users? and gurus in the house How did you connect the inlet of the tank ( cold water )? Direct to Overhead tank, to the borehole, manually fill using a tap The reason I am asking is I came across this https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Automatic-water-control-valve-solar-water-heater-feeder-assistant-tank/1935638063.html there is a single and double pipeline model In my solar heater user manual ( Simba make 120 L - looks like made in China) the manual recommends all filling methods which are manual and the tank has overfill discharge outlet which means if I connect to water source the water will flow out from discharge outlet. I also believe the tank and tubes can take max 0.7 bar operating pressure. In addition, the water when heated expands 3 to 5 % which means it needs space to go The system I came across only fills at 0.5 bar and the overfill outlet has to be connected to the 2-foot pipe above water level. I believe the water coulm works as counter pressure stopping inlet water. I intend to drain the tank from top outlet using a small 300 watt booster to match my house pressure of 2.5 bar

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by GeorgeD1(m): 4:11pm On Sep 24, 2017 |
hello pranil, for those with protek solar water heater products like myself, it comes with an assistant tank which does exactly the same job so really no need to buy additional accessories to control water supply pressure. notice the assistant tank on top of the system in the first picture.

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Nobody: 6:15pm On Sep 24, 2017 |
Saw an earlier post by JUO of his BMV data. I am wondering why the discharged energy is about half of the charged energy? Is it peculiar to flooded batteries? Should one expect better ratios with lithium batteries?

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Obimind1: 10:09pm On Sep 24, 2017 |
dsunmade:That has been my fears too after my batteries failed me under 8 months. Though my set up is a 24v system, I used to turn on my fridge by 8:00am and turn off by 4:30pm. After getting another new sets of batteries just one week ago, I decided not to run my fridge on batteries even though my PV strength is a 1,200 watts. The highest load I use on my batteries presently is my washing machine, and I do that when the sun is at its peak. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Saipro(m): 8:30am On Sep 25, 2017 |
Obimind1: I try to switch of my refrigrator after 5pm on most days (on some days, I just let it be). Freezers definitely go off by 4pm. They all stay frozen for at least 24 hours and the fridge remain chilled for 96 hours (freezer compartment stays rock solid frozen for 3 days) hence no real need to keep them lit up overnight. My batteries'll live longer for it (true they cycle less when always on but they still do cycle at night). Seems we run similar loads but I have a 3kW PV array at the backend. Running the fridge on batteries (during the daytime) won't kill your batteries, if your PV array is appropriately sized to both charge your batteries and handle other daytime loads (some of us have almost twice the required PV array, to forestall poor weather). New batteries failing within 8 months sounds like undercharging/overcharging issues or discharging rates above C/8. Possibly low cycle life/thin plate batteries or a bad batch but that's less likely. Do a retrospective analysis of what went wrong and you might be able to avoid a repetition occuring. I recommend installing a shunt (with a monitor display). 1 Like |

dsunmade:is a general statement or you balance your load to 150w/200ah max per battery or 300w max for 24v system assuming you have 200ah batteries otherwise be ready to replace your batteries yearly |

GeorgeD1: Thanks . It does the same thing of pressure reduction. Unfortunately, protek insisted that I buy the pressurized solar system at more than 500 K for ground mounting making me drop the idea earlier Now i will purpose this system with pressure control on inlet, booster on outlet and connect to my existing 50 lts Ariston so effectively having 120 lts+ 50 lts hot water storage with full redundancy. On cloudy days IO just switch on my storage heater |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by pranil(m): 3:46pm On Sep 25, 2017 |
dsunmade: YES, Lead acid charge efficiencies are between 65 to 85 % . If your numbers are lower means one of the two things 1. You batteries dont drain enough which means most of the time the charging pattern is short boost mode followed by longer absorb mode - Absorb mode efficiency of Lead-acid is very low as most of the energy is lost in heat 2. Batteries are old - The charger is running prolonged in absorb mode for comparison, my 40-month-old lead acid normally cycled to 20 to 30 % DOD with occasional deep discharge when the generator decides to misbehave - efficiency is close to 70 % and NO lithiums have efficiencies of 90 to 96 % !!! one main reason I am shifting to them . and also can be charged at higher rates means my generator does not have to run for more than an hour

GeorgeD1:This is my decision from now upwards. I have decided to be using my system on a skeletal basis(no heavy usage) since my system is a hybrid system with occasional 6-7 hours light from the national grid on a daily basis... I am hopeful that this way my batteries will serve me longer. |
