Jesus!!! That's expensive!

before shouting expensive, help us get price of 10-feets of Cooper, then price of 15-feets of Aluminium. make we check something

I'm glad you're using a brand of charge Controller that's much better than the Plenty nonesense wey full market.

hopefully, you're very much aware You would require a charge Controller of higher capacity.


Oga bassdow.... Much appreciate by giving out your time to analyse duely.... Much grateful.

As for the former set up, was thinking of margin it to the new one.... Meaning two different solar pv array with 2 different charge controller in connection to one battery set up

Question: 3. Can I still use the former set up alongside, the s and the cc excluding the battery and inverter.

Answer: NO. Whenever you mix Solar s of different Capacities, the Solar of higher Capacities, comes down to level of the Lowest Solar 's capacity on the string hence 200w + 100w in series would give you 100w.

yea you could start considering the VOCs but those are hacky tactics better left to those who really knows what they're doing. Even then sef, there must be looses

Do you mean all their inverters aren't transformer based ?

He is doing 6p based on the PV Voltage on the screen... It shouldn't even get hot as there is not much conversion...
3s2p/2s3p maybe hit or miss.. he can try his luck...

We may not be sure it is 6p, the controller behaves that way sometimes

@bassdow has a point ing aluminium cables. But the disadvantage is that those cables easily break when you want to dress them(you go dey Do vigilantes work.

Aside that, those cable coating are prone to wear because of temperature and the environment it's been used.
It's not a good idea for aluminium or zinc roofing.

In summary, don't take my opinion for it. Na work I learn, what do I really know grin grin grin

Minimum 500k.
There is no way you can get a 220ah battery less than 280k currently, 1kva inverter like 100k, charge controller 80k, solar that one is on drugs right now. Wirings and all nothing less tan 50k. You go spend 500k sef.

Usually leftover wires, wires removed from site after a decommissioning, and lastly wires stolen from site. There is secondhand wires often with firsthand wahala.

Are the 300watts still available and can j see pictures? Location also...


Went to pick up two units for someone and was able to get pictures. These are usually relabelled and sold as 400w or 450w units to unsuspecting buyers.

300w s Clearance sales

12pcs of ~300w for clearance sales @86k each!!

Reason for sale
Buyer begged a friend in alaba to help him get s and other solar devices.

Later buyer got referred to me by a colleague for installation.

Buyer got the shocker of his life when I analysed the s and told him they were relabelled to 400w. 😳

Now buyer wants to go for 550w s and needs to dispose these off at a great discount. s were bought at the rate of 110k

Location is ojodu Berger, but can be sent to any part of Nigeria.

URGENT SALES!!

At 11am my battery is already full or at 97% with about 300w load connected to it.

icjunior:
Please who knows how to use this timer socket?
I'd like to be able to set it to come on when the sun comes up,say 11am and go off 3pm everyday.
Ferdiwar: 12:22pm On Mar 02, 2024
I don't think most of the rechargeable fans have good chargers built in them which is why the batteries fail often.

Since you are using solar, I will suggest you forget about replacing the battery and run the fans like that. That's how I've been running mine since I went solar.

jikaseo:
Yea, I've got 3 batteries at 3 different occasions and they all didn't even last one week. They sell fake and I'm tired of wasting money.

experienced person no go get issue with that. Also, even non-experienced person shouldn't have much issues with that.

That's hardly an issue. Worse case scenerio, you place something on top to cover it BUT I have never done such becase the coating is more than enough

Boss, you sure say no be typo be this?

Dollar prices dey crashed every hours now.

Even fuoani wey dey over increase prices, dey sell "Pylontech UP5000 4.8kWh Lithium Ion Battery" for 2.6m

Coupled battery pack still gives better ROI
What's the price range for coupled battery 24v 1.5kwh
