truthbetold22: I feel the succinct. The earlier we come together and wage war against this dubious man, the better for us. Frank! kiekie!! is a man to flew from. Beware! If you want to know more about him, do personal investigations. Many nairaland fake accounts will soon surface to drop unsolicited deceiving review in his favour. Fellow compatriots, avoid transacting with him to avoid setting your hard earn currency on fire. 4 Likes |

tonididdy:that your cc looks familiar. I have a similar one. You can still add another 150w, meanwhile, check your current amp |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by ceaser: 11:02pm On Jan 15, 2020 |
tonididdy: Whoa! Why does your installer need to cut off the easy MC4 plug and play accessories that came with the panels and then joined wires the more difficult way? Or are there downsides to using MC4 that I probably am not aware of? This is disheartening. 1 Like |

ojeysky: Had some 4pcs 150 watts flames panels in parallel on a 30amp PWM SCC on a 12v system. Max yield on most days had been between 180-200 watts. Last week I noticed serious drop in SoC of the battery such that the LVD that used to clock in at 8:30pm suddenly changed to 5:30pm. WTF! I proceeded to clean panels (roof mounted) using the usual home mopping stick with extended handle, soaked with water. I climbed a ladder That didn't solve the problem, but I later found the culprit to be a poor connection at the solar input terminals on the SCC which unfortunately had possibly produced some sparks which melted terminal and distorted the terminal screws placement. Unable to unscrew the spoiled terminal and not having a replacement 30amp SCC, I resorted to a crude manual connection at the terminals, a rather poor solution. Thankfully, a 60amp MPPT I ordered weeks ago got delivered in the nick of time. I changed panel config to 2s and added two more 150 watts panel (everything now 2s3p). I have been getting 43amp nominal input and around 650 watts on the SCC. As I type, battery has refused to leave 12.9v and it is still headed to a 12.4v LVD. MPPT is sweet! Lithium is sweet! 2 Likes |

earthrealm: If you are on AliExpress, search for any seller that has the product and ask them to send the manual to your email. Give the impression that you are interested in the product and may purchase it from his store but that you need the manual ahead to be sure it meets your desired specs. You may need to try more than one merchant because even though they all mostly answer queries, they do so at different speeds, probably cos of the language barrier thingy. So trying more than one merchant will guarantee that you'll at least find one that will reply you within the hour. 2 Likes |

tonididdy: If 13.1v to 12.2v range of use satisfies your usage as you posited, then that isn't bad performance. 12.2v is around 50% DoD which falls within the recommended use. What you just need to find out is if your solar panel input is adequate to boost charge and and float the battery every blessed day. You especially require scheduled equilibration for that tubular battery type and I am not sure that PWM SCC has such setting in its programming. Another thing you need to worry about is if in case you have adequate performance from your panels this dry season, will the rainy season promise such adequate performance? This may call for an oversizing of your panels and of course with commensurate upgrade of your SCC to higher (around 60 amps) or change to an MPPT SCC altogether. And as per your PWM SCC or battery blowing up from an extra 150 watts, from my own experience and usage, I have once had 4 x 150 watts 1s4p config (600w total) on a 30amp PWM SCC with 100amp AGM battery for months and yáwá no gas. It just that the efficiency wasn't optimal. |

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by ceaser: 12:13am On Jan 16, 2020 |
tonididdy: Your 30amps PWM SCC will survive 3 pieces 150 watts panel parallel connection. Try to use good guage wires too (not less than 6mm), since you'll be subsisting on 12v solar panel input. |

Dam5reey: 2000 watts (4000w surge) 12v PSW with an idle of 15 watts. That's one of the inverters I have installed. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by ojeysky(m): 8:43am On Jan 16, 2020 |
ceaser: In this case your Voc will most likely be affected as well. However in my case I was getting over 250v which is to spec. It's the amps that was significantly affected, cleaning didn't do much though like you've rightly observed but tilting helped. For those who says a flat setup was fine, I don't think so as I saw improvement when I tilted a bit. Unfortunately I am limited on extent of tilting so I don't cast shadow on other panels. I will just make do with my 6kw harvest
Yes to mppt, the lithium thing I have not experienced, so how many amps of lithium are you using and how much did it cost you? |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by earthrealm(m): 8:43am On Jan 16, 2020 |
ceaser: Yeah, i later saw that. My issue is that 50v is the rated input of the cc. The Voc of most 12v panels is abt 18v, linning up 3 in series should give 54v, wch is above cc rating... Wudnt this damage the CC? I hv damaged a morning star mppt cc, when i lined up 4 x 250w panels Voc of 38v or so in series. It worked ok for over 2months, till 1 day i get a call that inverter is down. I go and cc is dead. I contacted morningstar corp usa, and explained truthfully what i did, they said thats what killed it, and refused to honor the 5yr waranty So since then, i jejely dont play with Voc 3 Likes |

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by tonididdy(m): 9:01am On Jan 16, 2020 |
ceaser:Am so so happy to read this. It's everything explained in one quote. Thanks very much. Please can I ask you; seems you have used this exact CC before, please when exactly is full charge?... @what voltage? I do know 11.0v is low batt3. As for the upgrade to a more powerful SC, sure coming later this year. I would be making a trip soon and I will love to quote peeps like you with options of the MPPT SC I found and advice on which to get. Thanks again. Very helpful. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by tonididdy(m): 9:12am On Jan 16, 2020 |
solasola:Thanks much... Please how do I check the amps? (Forgive my ignorance), and also, how do I know what a full charge is? Is it in voltage?, if yes! @what voltage please. |

truthbetold22:Anybody that has been on the platform for some time and had personally dealt with Kiekie already knew who that post was referring to. It is not the first nor would it be the last that complaints have occurred and continue to reoccur most especially his high pressured sales tactics and price gouging. Meanwhile, we thank God that there are now so many options and choices to go with. A word is enough for the wise. Haba jamaa I thought he would have changed by now but until all his sales are affected on Nairaland he may never learn how to operate a business on a social media platform where negative feedback can be fatal. I don talk my own. Newbies beware and ask before you commit your hard-earned funds to KIEKIE for any supply has no single drop of integrity in him and any promises of warranty or after-sales service is false and woe betide you if the product has any defect you are OYO. ![]() 10 Likes |
