DMerciful: hello dmerciful, the secret to battery longevity is spread over a range of factors. it has everything to do with the battery type, charge controller type, inverter type and usage habits. like i said in my last post, having a high end inverter which incorporates a battery monitor system (bms) certainly has helped preserve my batteries by ensuring they never get depleted beyond a preset value - and this works regardless of whether i'm home or not. with my previous inverter, i had to leave specific instructions for my folks to follow whenever i'm going out of town. and this was always subject to abuse. besides the bms and high end inverter, my wiring configuration also plays a huge role. i have four batteries wired in series to make up 48v and three of these joined together with equal length of cable to make 12 batteries. in effect its like having 3 separate battery banks operating independently. this configuration ensures each bank receives an equal amount of charging current from the cc while charging and also gives out equal amount of load current while discharging. as for cc, i guess the saying that you get what you pay for is true especially for solar. in my experience, a large number of the so-called cheap and pocket friendly controllers flooding the market these days are nothing but battery killers. they either consistently undercharge or overcharge your batteries leading to premature failure. i have been using the tristar for over seven years now and over this period i'm happy to see best in class performance in terms of charging algorithm. until recently of course when i was forced to incorporate the midnite classic due to my solar array upgrade exigency. lastly, i carry out yearly turn around maintenance on my battery bank. by this i mean battery rotation. i load test them to confirm each battery's condition of health. 9 Likes |

Wow 5 years , that's really a catch for me. I think most of the battery failures are caused as a result of neglect from the users . many people expect solar installation setups to operate like phcn without any form of maintenance. GeorgeD1: |

Barezzi: For most of us here, lowering electricity cost is just a bonus of going solar. I believe the independence to use or the freedom to use electricity at will (not just rationed by an inefficient provider) is inspiring us. Congratulations on your harvest, i know on this forum ur feat is just 4-5 days harvest of some. What am congratulating u for is generating ur needs whether it's 4.5kw/day or 21.9kw/day both ways ur covering ur electricity consumption - ur independence, ur freedom from regimented life. So Oga idsolar, like Barezzi mentioned earlier, buy urself a fine bottle of wine and well sauced chicken suya for celebration at least that would have been the money pocketed by disco. I will join ur celebration from here! 2 Likes |

Barezzi: Electricity is rediculously cheap in Nigeria. One of the reasons why availability and stability will continue to elude us. Several years ago...I told a friend in Czech Republic how much I pay in a month for power, he couldn't believe it until I added that I only get a few hours supply each day, even at that, he was so so surprised. Imagine how many investors will invest here with this slim profit margin. Many of the discos would have been out of business if we had strong regulatory bodies. 2 Likes |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by GeorgeD1(m): 12:21pm On Oct 08, 2017 |
Barezzi: barrezi, cost is only a tiny fraction of what comes into play when going for renewable energy. let me flip the question the other way round: what is the cost of staying in darkness? i guess the answer is zero naira? so if cost is our only consideration we might as well decide to save the huge amount we have invested so far and remain in darkness while waiting for the elusive phcn to supply us power whenever they deem fit. however, will that be a good option? no? so here comes the fuel guzzling, noisy generator to fill in the gap for those long hours almighty phcn decides to keep us in darkness. and this is where it gets really interesting: if mr idsolar had been running his generator for this length of time (august till date) commensurate with the up-time of his charge controller, he certainly would have spent enough money on fuel to buy his solar system all over again. 3 Likes |

GeorgeD1: I agree. I may only one of the few who is praying for cost of NEPA to go up so more people see the light and invest in solar ( not as a replacement of generator but something which makes commercial sense) A diesel generator on average will cost 60 NGN/KWh considering diesel at 200 NGN/ltr. This is independent of diesel. Small diesels in the rage of 5 to 40 KVA will cots on top of that approximately 30 to 50 NGN /KWH depending on the load factor. Considering with 3 KWH /KW of solar panel on average it takes 3-4 years before your investment starts making the profit . With correctly sized lithium this period dramatically reduces to 2 years a or less due to efficiency of Lithium 3 Likes |
