Hello house. How good are GBM batteries?
Very good batteries sir, and they’re long lasting.

Is the CC a PWM? Or MPPT
And where are you based at in the country?

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by olopan(m): 2:26pm On Jan 09, 2020
okay!
with the 6mm cable, you will loss some power along that long stretch of length.

so here lies the Dilemma, 2s2p or 2s3p for the future is the best and most sweet spot you should opt for, but with the cable not being so large coupled with long distance.
BUT
because your cable is 6mm i will suggest a 3s2p so you will not loss much power.

One other thing i notice is that, you will most likely oversize your array by 15% or 115% which is great but with a down size of overcharging your 200Ah battery. .... you don't want your sweet battery to start releasing Hydrogen gas...... No.

if need be that you will really use the PV upgrade, then the 3s2p option will be best advice for reason stated above,
* As it will not allow the current to overshoot too quickly to overcharge your battery.

These are my own POV.

Release hydrogen gas ke? That one is something I don't want o. That battery was "cooperative loan" o.

One thing I have thought of is this:
let things be for now and revert to the pwm cc. Continue using it.


I will as soon as possible change my inverter to 24v. Then buy 16mm cable and two or four 250watts panels. Install it with the 60a mppt cc and new 2×100ah batteries

And the mppt cc can't be logged; by the time I get home, it will be sundown and it would have reverted to zero so I can't record harvest again

thanks. had my double door LG fridge repaired by changing internal condenser to an outside one. power consumption jumps down from the previous 195w to 110wcheesy

Cool and how is the performance after that and does the power reduce over time? There was a time my 219t freezer developed a fault and stopped working, I called a technician to fix it (or so I thought) unfortunately since then, the freezer has been on high freezing consuming over 250w. I just resolved to utilize my fridge more.

the lowest i have seen is 134w(inclusive 28w fridge fan ), am yet to test it for 6 straight hrs. but the performance is encouraging. the sound and operating temperature is now cooler. it blocks pure water in the freezer compartment in 2hrs. i have another BEKO double door fridge, it draws 115w(inclusive 28w fan) it blocks pure water in 1hr30mins.

ok. everything depends on the type of compressor. the rated watts for the LG was 165w,but maybe the inbuilt internal condenser was bad, hence it was getting too hot and was drawing 230watts before(inclusive 30W external fan) he only disconnected the internal one put his external one(pix) and everything become cool.. my location is yenagoa bayelsa state.

??
I was in a bank the other day to market these high-calibre ESS.
The guy in charge said that they already have back-up generator and each computer station has its own UPS.
As he was saying this, PHCN/NEPA took light.
The banking hall went dark, in mid day, while the sun was shining hot outside.
For a few minutes, everybody stood still, while the UPS stations stated screwing that annoying alarm sound.
Then a mighty roar as the back up generator started up. And died, A second roar as a bigger back-up for the first backup kicked into life.
Consuming litres of diesel, and belching thick toxic fumes into the surroundings.
Within a half-hour, PHCN/NEPA was back.

All the noisy beep, beep, beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep, nuisance smells, poisonous fumes, embarrassment of stop-work, danger of inflammable fossil fuels in close proximity to confined premises, lost profits due to maintenance and repair costs of over-large generators, all that, could be better managed at lower costs, with a LiFePO4 ESS.
Get in touch for an energy audit.

Good evening house, I want to ask a question. Is it possible to connect 3 12volts 200ah battery to a 24volts inverter. The batteries will also be charged by a 24volts charge controller
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by PrinceCEE(m): 1:57am On Jan 11, 2020
Hello!

Please I need candid advice on the best choice and also the the budget from the inverter to the installation cost.

I need a setup that'd last me for the whole day, given the power consumptions.

1. 4 laptops
2. One 32inch led tv
3. Three ceiling fans.
4. 5 energy saving bulbs
5. Home theatre
6. AC
7. Mid size refrigerator

I would want both the inverter and solar together. So what's gonna be the likely configuration and budget?

No sir. It's not allowed.

In simple terms:

24v inverter requires 24volts input.

Your batteries (3 in number) can either give you 12v in parallel or 36v in series, both of which are off the 24v target.

To achieve a target for your 24v inverter, you either get to use only two out of your three 12v batteries connected in series to get 24v total OR you get a fourth battery to configure a 2s2p bank (still 24v nominal but with higher capacity)

Please in using your batteries, do not mix old batteries with new ones.
