Before I bought those batteries I came here to ask for reviews o but una no answer me. Now I don buy am set am up una don begin say the batteries no good. Na wa o...

God abeg...

How much did you get the sunfit batteries? I don't think they will be as bad so long as you stick to the charge and discharge rules and maintain a maximum of 50% DoD. They should serve their time... ultimately Lifepo4 should be your destination....some thing I told the of the sunfit I got last month.
I started with 1kva over a decade ago and a 100ah lead acid and now the rest is history, so you've started, the experience can only continue to improve as you progress. Enjoy you independence!

The inverter has a single dimension(form factor) for various capacities. Only the weight will differ

dollarnaira:


TBB are designed dat way. It is big and bold.

Oh okay I see that's interesting
ManAdii: 11:12am On Aug 12, 2022
Thanks all. I'll stick to the 50% DOD.

Someone ask how much I got the batteries. It's 130k for both of them.
ManAdii: 11:29am On Aug 12, 2022
Please someone should recommend a good solar brand. And how many watts do you guys think would be sufficient for my setup (1.2kva 24V inverter, 2 * 100AH batteries)?

We have been providing Portable Power Solution over year and our customers have good stories to tell. We are determined to even do more. We are reachable on 0806.53.1630.7

The s are good.

We've had 6 months to a 1 year failure, not just from us but also from people that I know.

ojeysky:


Really? I use sunfit s and they served well hence I bought sunfit batteries as well for a deployment though not yet deployed...are they so bad with batteries? what's your experience of them?

I just ordered some from Auxano to PH.

4 300W should be perfect for you for free light daytime (or 2 depending on the capacity of your charge controller and not using more than 50% of the batteries).

The price changed between when I first showed interest and when I ordered + stock isn't stable so it's best to them.
That's the number I used.

Good morning all,
Please I am planning to go green and need your input on which is a better option between flooded and AGM/SMF batteries as I plan on getting it.

With the proper maintenance (battery rotation, equalization, etc) which amongst the 2 will last longer (I can't currently afford to get a new 24v lithium bank).

Proposed set up.
1. 1.5kva 24v luminous hybrid inverter
2. 4x 350W s
3. 60A Techfine or Powmr MPPT CC
4. 24V 200AH to 305AH battery bank.

Any other other advice will be very much appreciated

Thank you


Luminous 1500VA/24V Solar Hybrid Inverter

Key Features (1 - 4):
1. It has 40amp inbuilt charge controller.

Can external 60Amp MPPT Charge Controller be integrated with this inverter?


2. Up to 1000 Watt PV Module solar compatibility.

Does it mean that one cannot attach (4) * 300W s?


3. The batteries can be charged by both the Grid/Generator and true solar power when the Solar s are connected.

Can Non-Hybrid Inverter like *Luminous Optimus 1600VA/24V* charge batteries via Gen, NEPA & Solar s respectively?


4. It can also deliver power simultaneously while charging.

Can Non-Hybrid Inverter like *Luminous Optimus 1600VA/24V* also deliver power while charging?


Please expect in the house respond to these questions thanks.

Hello guys,
Some stock of cracked s are soon goibg to be in stock, but drmand is going to be high and I was privileged to get early information about their availability. Original jinko, Canadian etc. BUT CRACKED PLEASE.

I hear capacities as high as 375w will be available.

If interested pls dm me or email me, so as soon as prices are available it will be shared with you. IT'S GOING TO BE A STEAL, especially for those of us on a tight budget and don't mind the cracks

AGAIN THESE ARE CRACKED S, COMPANY REJECTS.

Please, to make it easier for us, the whatsapp group directly from link below.
https:///Bod2o6JgFaW4mKUbbICXjL

Attached is a sample cracked .

Took 4 units each of the 330w and 540w series of these s.

They do look good. Sizes look real for their capacity. I can't believe the 540w is well taller than me... grin. Na money to take mount them i dey find now... cheesy.

Will update the house about how they output when I hang them.

For those with Hybrid inverters or mppt controllers,

How close is the solar wattage displayed to the size of s you installed?

Eg if you have 2kw of s do you see close to that in your input

I'm looking at mine today and seeing 5% of installed capacity instantaneously right now (series connection).

I'd replace the s next week though but I'm just curious
gadgetplanetng: 11:32am On Aug 13, 2022

Still available?

These look good to experiment

Yes, instead of connecting the solar s to the inverter you will connect them to the charge controller input and connect the controller output to your batteries. (this is in addition to the battery-inverter connection)


2. Up to 1000 Watt PV Module solar compatibility.

Does it mean that one cannot attach (4) * 300W s?
You can, it's just that if your s ever generate more than 1000W it will ignore the extra 200W. given that s rarely achieve nameplate I would say go ahead with this.


3. The batteries can be charged by both the Grid/Generator and true solar power when the Solar s are connected.

Can Non-Hybrid Inverter like *Luminous Optimus 1600VA/24V* charge batteries via Gen, NEPA & Solar s respectively?
Non hybrid inverters don't have inbuilt charge controllers so cannot chare via solar, they can charge via NEPA and generator(hopefully your gen is big enough)

4. It can also deliver power simultaneously while charging.

ceaser:


grin grin Sincerely, I can't tell. That's because I have not encountered such CC. But I want to assume that because the light intensity and power directed to the CC from the s will be gradual as daylight gradually intestifies in the morning, then there is ample time for the CC to adjust itself and probably initiate a protect function.

But perhaps if a large current input is suddenly put on it from a hot midday sun while it is not connected to a battery, then that blue smoke may be produced.

hello bro. kindly check dm. u got mail! smiley

Thanks for the response, I appreciate.

What if charge controller is attached, can it charge batteries via the three methods?

If your system is properly sized with your load (power demand) your charge controller should be able to charge your battery well.

1. I'm not running much loads.
2. I'm currently on a budget which can't accommodate 48V system.
3. I already have the mentioned Luminous Hybrid inverter.

I am not suggesting 48v, I am actually wondering why you are not using 12v?
So because you have a 24V inverter you have decided to let it determine how your system will be.
I hope you are not being pennywise and pound foolish sha.

60a solar charger is perfect for 200a AGM battery as AGM are required to b charged at 30% of their capacity. My only concern would b d brand of ur batteries. AGMs av grade too.
Wen getting your s.. go with a multimeter to measure the volt n amps (if u don't no aw to do dat, u can check YouTube). Do not believe wat u see on the sticker. U should take ur time. Keep reposting this till you get all d advice u need. N for every one u get. Do small research to b sure they are fact n not fantasy. And u don't need to reply every post. Take wat u need n move
