My Ogas, I need to set up a small office and would like to use 2pcs of 12v 200Ah batteries. Would you advise buying a 1500 24v APC UPS or simply buying an inverter. I also would like to know reasons why. Thanks in advance. |

NiyiOmoIyunade: We may have to pin this comment, there is often this misconception that an SPD can work without a good earth. 4 Likes |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by mctfopt: 5:23am On Jul 11, 2020 |
dataking: Buy an inverter for these two reasons: 1) An inverter will have a charger big enough to produce the charging current that can charge big batteries (such as the 200ah) while a UPS is equiped with chargers to sufficiently charge smaller batteries such as 7ah or 28ah batteries. 2) An inverter is designed to run for longer periods, while UPS is made for shorter backup. Hence the two has different cooling system. But I've seen a dude here in nairaland that has modified the UPS (by adding cooling fans and external charger) to enable a UPS run for longer and charge bigger batteries. You can checkout this UPS conversion process to inverter here on nairaland by checking out this link https://www.nairaland.com/1389975/worlds-smallest-power-inverter/60#77800554 2 Likes |

mctfopt: Thanks Boss, I know about the smart charger but nice to hear of a cooling fan as well. If those 2 are taken care of, do you see the APC UPS with a smart charger outperforming the Hybrid Inverters? Also what about battery health and longevity. Will the UPS charge and utilize the batteries optimally and efficiently. Thanks a lot. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by mctfopt: 5:47am On Jul 11, 2020 |
dataking: Well, I personally don't see it outperforming an inverter with same capacity (charger size and cooling system). But you can only find out for sure when you get the two and put it to work. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Trippledots(m): 6:02am On Jul 11, 2020 |
dataking: I know most UPS have an efficiency of around 60-70%. If inverters have a higher efficiency then you may be better off going with that. If going on a very tight budget, go for a cheap chinese PWM inverter as some of them claim efficiency of up to 80%. |

mctfopt: Same here, positive disposition to them NIPOST. They've been effective for some years now. Even with local in-country logistics. Did you know that can help you (logistics) to pack your entire properties - except your house or land sha - if you're moving between cities within Nigeria? I was impressed when someone said that they did that for him at reasonable price. Although it seems I'll be having a lost/stolen item slugged out with 'em soon. They must dig it out.

ceaser: May not be stolen. Could just be misplaced or left in one of their numerous store. This may usually happen when the address on it is not there or too torn to be read and location where it is heading identified. I'll recommend you send a mail to their customer care and see how it goes. Did your seller take a picture of the package before shipping? If yes, attach picture as evidence. |

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by ceaser: 10:34am On Jul 11, 2020 |
mctfopt: No pre-dispatch picture sent by seller. If the address label was too defaced to be read, then I suppose it would also have affected the barcode scanner reading and by extension the dispatch to destination address According to the tracking, it has reached destination address (the town in the address was written in the tracking as destination) since March. So I wonder where it's hiding. |

NiyiOmoIyunade: oga niyi and others, God bless you all for the wonderful contributions. the your explanation sinks well and understood. where I stay, no flower area, water tank is on decking but I feel the gutter area is doable. when I looked around, I saw this that I snapped and attached. this is earthing right? and doing the gutter area will strengthen it?

NiyiOmoIyunade: Good morning sir. I've been following your discussion on lightning protection system and I need your input on what I intend to ensure for my installer to do based on your advice here. I wanted to install the two new solar panels I bought this week but I had to postpone it because of the rate of lighting and thunder in my location since there is an absence of 'thunder arrestor' on my roof. All the appliances, including my inverter have been properly earthed and connected to the earthing rod. Based on your advice, will it be okay to re-enforce the protection of the system because of the addition of the panels by : - connecting the thunder arrestor to a new earthing rod close to the previously installed earthing rod. - interconnect both earthing rod with a copper cable - connect a copper cable to the frame of the solar panels and join to the old earthing rod. Thanks in anticipation! 1 Like |

For the first time I have a need to charge my batteries via generator but for some strange reason my 3024GK is not accepting the input from generator. It recognises the voltage and frequency by displaying the icon of current on the inverter screen but there is no charging icon and bypass icon. Has anyone experienced this on their inverter before? |

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Justin288: 8:03pm On Jul 11, 2020 |
ojeysky: Simply reduce your charging current to the lowest, it will charge. Then increase it till the inverter stops charging. That is the sweet spot. My 5048MK will never charge at 60A, with my big generator. 1 Like |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by ojeysky(m): 9:29pm On Jul 11, 2020 |
Justin288: My brother so I thought o....I reduced to 10A(2A was the only one a didn't try) it still didn't move, even the bypass to supply current in line mode didn't happen. Though it recognise there was AC input
The quality of utility supply we get here has made charging beyond 30A via AC a dream for me. If not for my stabilizer that supports beyond my expectations, the 120v utility that I get would have been almost useless. I keep charging at 20A but occasionally 30A when am lucky to get 150v. Will find time to further diagnose the Gen disagreement with my 3024GK |
