dapsyra:
I called Zeestone9 on Saturday afternoon and we struck a deal on the proviso that I will get the goods today (Sunday)

By 4pm today, I received the goods in Abuja.

Thank you Zeestone9 for a job well done. Thumb Up .

Good day house, I have a question
What's the most efficient way to prevent the use of high energy consumption loads. For instance, There is a socket outlet which I don't want to supply more than a certain watt (at most to charge a laptop which is about 40-60W) and charge phones or to be used for devices not exceeding 80-100W instantaneously. Would a 1Amp AC Breaker work? What other options are viable? Thanks

pranil:



for a single socket, I use this -

It has setpoints for power and current both activated independently with timer to prevent abuse
I mainly use it to stop my Inverter AC being used in turbo mode ( in turbo they draw 2.6 KW as against 700 watt of normal mode)

for the whole circuit at the output of inverter or DB USe an overcurrent relay wired to the AC contactor or a built-in unit

Good day house. Please i need your help to help review my setup as I am getting not up 60% of my installation capacity

I have the following

1) 15 pcs 300W mono solar panel (3 in series and 5 parallel)
2) Panel Spec:- VOC = 44.3, Isc = 8.93A, Vmp = 36V, Imp = 8.33A.
3) Based on the connection, Total V= 132V and I= 44.65A(Voc and Isc used in the computation).
4) I have a Master Charge Controller: Max 150V and 80A (48V system)
5) Battery setup: 24pcs of 2V 600A batteries connected in series to produce 48V.
6) The setup was installed 2 months ago.
7) The highest generation seen has been 6.1Kw/day on a sunny day.
I leave at Ajah area of Lagos
9) My Depth of discharge has been around 65% until last week when I was advised to use more to see if it will boost the production. I increase DOD to 45 - 50%
10) in Real time, the maximum that I have seen is 2400W.
11) Installation was carried out by a professional.
12) I check for loses, I am only losing average of 100W (comparing power from solar output measured under the solar shed and Controller output)

QUESTIONS:
1) my total installation capacity is 4500W (solar panel), out of which I am getting max of 2400W. Is this normal
2) Is there anything wrong with my installation.
3) The power generated has not been sufficient to charge my batteries. Is there a way to improve this

Please help

olagunju2000:


Thanks Makavele, Charge controller is supposed to be an MPPT according to the spec . I will check each of the panels as suggested and cabling as well.

One question in my mind is, on a sunny afternoon, if I measure both Voc and Isc; Am I supposed to get values close to the panel spec VOC = 44.3, Isc = 8.93A?

bigrovar:


Thanks Bigrovar . .

you would never get close to the panel specs . . at most 77%; if you're lucky

no matter how the sun shines . . .

as a matter of fact; too much sunshine + poor ventilation = too much heat = reduced panel performance.

olagunju2000:


Thanks for this insight. Actually, the solar panels are in the open like a car port with flat roof. No shade and ventilation should be ok (my thoughts).

makavele:


Still not gonna get past the 77% mark

olagunju2000:


Now I have come to that realization. I should have added more panels to compensate for the inefficiency. Today, I am doing roughly 55%. So many thing to learn

makavele:


Still not gonna get past the 77% mark

Dam5reey:


I disagree with that... 220 Panels 140 + 80 has produced 201 watt peak going to the battery..CC is PWM In July... So he should get close to 100% on bench test

Dam5reey:

makavele:


201 n 220 about 91% . . was it sustained or instantaneous . .
Also if it's a PWM; i won't believe the numbers except for a high-profile PWM manufacturer . . why?
Had one chinko PWM that would always cut off at 31A and stay at 29A. it would try to go over 30A again and cut off .
lead me to believe more amps could be delivered ..
Only to install a better and trusted CC that had never even registered 25A max.
Tested with a multimeter to confirm !!!
PWM be giving me false hope !
Thanks

olagunju2000:

Hello Dam5reev, I do not understand the explanation above. Do you mean that if I test 300W panel (Voc and Isc), I should get close to the spec of the panel on a good sunny day? Kindly explain and thanks for your cntribution

Dam5reey:


The readings were measured with multimeters, Also I mentioned Peak, that was the question he asked...

If the panels you bought cannot provide close to it's rated capacity at a bench test, go and change it....

Dam5reey:


Yes you should get, up to that about few months ago some guys posted their results for a Month...

I can't remember their monikers, Those with 4500Watts setup can post their last month Generation this will clear the air...

makavele:


WHy you dey confuse yaself, Mr Man?
You mentioned peak yeah?

Did you generate 91% consistently and continuously for say, 10-15 minutes during "peak" sunshine?
(i find this hard to believe)

Or did you generate 91% for just 1-3 seconds . . which I would term as "peak" generation for the day?
(i can still believe this one)

So in which context is your "peak" used ?


Zeestone99; I am loading for you !!!

Dam5reey:





Please go back to his question initial question peace..

https://www.nairaland.com/390522/solar-energy-complement-fta/276#59001874

Dam5reey:


Makavele, he asked a very simple question...

makavele:


And I gave him a real life answer !!! I do not care about his Isc and Voc . . . he doesn't care about it too . .
What he wants to know . . is:

if i have 100W panels, can i get close to 100W on a very good day with sunshine aplenty?

Simple answer: NO ; realistically ... no need for too much Isc X Voc mathematics.

Dam5reey:


You are still not getting it...
How do we then know he bought real 300watts panels and not a fake 300watts at the back?

I use a 1kw inverter,
but it cannot power power a load of 800W continuously then you tell me it's 1kw

You are practical person yet you use multimeter to measure your current instead of using the sun intensity to calculate...

You have not answered his question correctly... That was why I disagree...
