Is anyone here familiar with Felicity Charge Controller? I need the 120A or the 100A version, but it is important that I'm able to communicate with it over serial or modbus. Thanks in advance.

Yes I have 1 each in my office as we speak u can WhatsApp me on 08028074483

1, Good day guys what determines the choice of charge controller to go for?

2, which is better, should I go for hybrid inverter or just CC

3 I have a friend who’s with 80watts solar panel with a LiFePO4 battery capacity of 480watts. Does that mean with 6/7 hours of sun the battery will charge to its full capacity

Do I need I still need a charge controller for this system thanks

I know the hybrids have com I expect the controllers would as well

1. Your budget and required generation from the sun
2. I prefer hybrids but some prefer standalone
3. Assuming the generation is 80w for 6/7 hours yes but that is not practical the power will drop and peak according to sun rays.

Yes you need a charge controller if you want to charge with sunlight. That said, some people connects panel directly to batteries, I don't recommend that. Not safe for you and your backup system

please what rating of external charger (that plugs in to PHCN) do i need to charge a 12 Volts 200 AMPS battery in 3 - 4 hours?

How many amps charger will be ok to achieve that?

ceaser:


Unfortunately, government will be waiting for you people there.

You think say we go fit escape PHCN cum government wàhálà as dey go so?

Na for dem to begin ask anyone wey get solar panel for roof to start paying tax or just outrightly increase the custom duties on solar products imported into the country.

If revenue still nor enter reach, dem go begin collect tax for oxygen o.

We go begin do land installation

If it's a lead acid battery use the rule of the thumb and do c÷10 where c is capacity. Therefore a 20 amps (200÷10) charger can work in this case. How fast it gets full is now a function of how depleted the battery is, but an average of six hours should do when severely depleted. Charging lead acid at very high current can damage it, you can get away with that with most lithium batteries where you can do 100amps on a 200ah lithium battery easily

1, Let’s say I have panels supplying 1000 watts generation

2 hybrids will serve as CC and and can still be used to the battery with electricity right ?

3 can you lay more emphasis why it’s not safe

Thanks

1 size and numbers of batteries you have

2 charger control is d best to go for so long it is DC / AC

3 Depends on d controller size mostly MPPT

4 yes u need MPPT CC
Thanks u can still buy from us

1&2 if you want 1kw then you can get 1.5kw of panel 250w X 8 or 380w x 4. Get a 2kw hybrid inverter, it will serve as CC, will provide electricity to your gadget and will provide charging via utility as well not just through sunlight

3. The panel voltage may exceed the battery voltage and there will be noting to tell the panel to stop charging the battery which could result to overcharging

Thanks very much for the response
Please can you highlight the rough estimate to set up this system

And can this system power up a pumping machine

Hybrid 2kw 125k
380w X 4 panels 200k
Battery LFP 100AH 24v 300k or You do 2x200AH lead acid at 250k to 300k depending on brand

The above should power your machine for at least 3hrs on full battery. Double your battery and double your panel (with an extra external CC) if you need more backup time

The maximum current to charge a battery bank is 25% of the size of the battery bank. In your case you have 200ah battery of which 25% of it is 50. most inverters discharge batteries to 50% only for lead acid batteries, in that case you are charging 100ah of the battery. with this in mind the maximum charger you need is a 12v 25amps charger which will charge the battery in 4 hrs tops. ANY CHARGER ABOVE 12V 25AMPS CAN DAMAGE YOUR BATTERY!

Dey there.

Bro, na your street people go rat on you. Haven't you wondered how those town planning people know about structures being erected even in the remotest of places that before you know it, they have written "Stop work, no approved plan" on the building? They'll have scouts all over the place so land installation may not be hidden

Lolz.... Abeg I no fit laff

I need the input of the experts on an upgrade I am about embarking on .

I have a 1000watts,12 volts inverter on 3 units of 105ah batteries connected to 640watts( 160 watts* 4 ) felicity panels via a 60amp PWM Controller.

I intend adding more panels panels ( additional 640_watts) but the max PV power input of the CC is 720watts( of course replacing battery bank with 3 units of 180ah battery)

I am considering the following options

A. Run separate wire for a new 60 AMPS CC connected to the new panels

B.Buy a 100amps PWM Controller( found about 2 already on Ali express) with max PV WATTS capacity of 1300 watts and just change the charge controller.
This saves the cost of running separate wires

I just need the input of the gurus!!

Buying used items may help you achieve your goal as well.
A client of mine would have 20 x 250w mono chinese panels, for sale next week, as a result of upgrade. Price would be 25k for each panel, however slight discount if buying more than 4 panels.

Mix of myhome, sunfit, flames panels

I am interested! How do i reach you?

at this stage of your upgrade u shouldn't be using a pwm cc
i advise u trade off your 12V 1000w inverter
get a 24V inverter with at least 30A utility charger
buy a 60A mppt cc
buy premium 2pcs 200ah or 220ah battery
then u are good to go

Regarding question number 1. I asked same question here, but no one answered. So i went on a quest to get answers from Youtube.

There is a simple calculation: Divide the size of your solar panels by the voltage of your system. So, of you have a 600watts panel system on a 12v battery bank setup, you should use a CC with a minimum rate of 50A (600watts/12v)
