Femi otedola getting ready, this people are almost predictable 😂😂😂... Currently its rating is 435MW...this more than double upgrade...the earlier you are solar ready,... The better.... Tony Elumelu put his power company in the Nigerian stock exchange last month... The power revolution is coming... But e go cost.

Funny enough if you had bought 1 Million shares for 240 million naira on launch date of march 4, by now that shares is worth
377 million naira...and its not even up to a month yet.. .

Solar is sweet..

please help. Someone installed this mppt charge controller for my mum and it has burnt twice at this same point (where wires from the solar s connect to the charge controller).
Happened first time, he replaced it and it happened again. He was about collecting money from her to buy another one again but this time she reached out to me.

It’s a 12v 1kw inverter system with 6x 180w solar s and 200ah battery. She uses it at her store for a small fridge, a desktop computer and fan.

Is this a problem with the power from the solar s being too much? Or the charge controller is thrash?

Please help. Any insight appreciated.

6×180 is 1080w which is beyond your charger controller. It shouldn't go beyond 700w or less.

Abeg. Na which app be this?

I need a very good solar inverter engineer in Ibadan or that can work at Ibadan

Obnoxious2001:

How did you do the test?

Measured voltage and current with a clampmetre at constant load. Both AC side and then DC side.

easyyoke:


Anybody please? Or all Charge controllers sold in Nigeria, none of them get bluetooth app?🥺

Victron smart controller has Bluetooth feature.

ewizard1:

A proper installation might cost too much for him.

Hmmmm...

mvphenryeto5:


Bro you are using sachet inverter to power Ac while some people here said sachet inverter can't power a freezer

🫢...DYOR always.😊

obinna37:
Original Taiwan solar
Just offloaded

330w-95k from two pieces up

New?

Now dat jinko s are everywhere i expect to see clones around. How does one that he or she is buying an original jinko

Right source, simple!

Okay thank you boss

Dam5reey1:

What if right source is supplying clones and inflating price?

Way back Jinko 250-300w series, there use to be imprints of Jinko solar embedded in the s surface.

This new ones no dey get am oh.

I don't mean to cause distress but is there any case for alarm

Clearly only solar can save you during dry season, which is also when solar produces the most energy... Which is also when the heat is most unbearable... Instead of them to increase capacity and make more money.... Bayo onanuga is also hinting distribution companies will be allowed to increase the rate from 68 naira up to 200 naira per kwh this april.... 1 thousand naira that used to be 13 units is about to be 5 units....

Yes

It's like saying Apple Authorized store selling clones or Slot selling clones..

It's not our of place for some sort of shenanigans to happen.

The thing is how do we that they have been authorised?

Even after authorisation (for professions that require licensing) I can still provide sales/services even without my renewal.

Hope you understand where am driving at

Like say Jinko no get website or .. if you want to this is 2024.. nothing is hidden if you have access to Nairaland it means you have access to information and can anything you want.

An inverter AC
Clamp Metre
Sachet 5kw pure sine.

Most of the 'inverter' termed devices (inverter fridge, watching machine etc) are typically switching power designed (aka SMPS), and a properly designed SMPS, built to handle above 100W should have active power factor correction ( PFC ) built into the design.

In the absence of this PFC, the load (your inverter AC in this case) would affect the phase relationship of the inverter output, consequently affecting any meter equipment that depends on the standard current/voltage relationship to produce correct values.

Also, Normal AC, fridge, washing machine general affect power factor, hence I suspect your meter to be the problem here, it seems to be unable to measure the correct power.

You are welcome back!


sincerely, I hate those flames solar s, they degrade fast with time.

Good afternoon my people, is there a sub-pump machine with a soft start?

It's official, if you are in band A electricity is now 225 naira per kilowatt, that's about 300% percent increase. @isangjohnson you can see selling renewable at 200 naira when the epileptic one from distribution companies is more expensive no make sense again... So how about 400 naira kwh...you might make your money faster now.

10,000 naira worth of electricity is showing 44 units... Egbami

Oshomo12:


Oh, that's ok. He will definitely deliver.

Still waiting, got this from him today.

Meanwhile I am in the market looking for this hybrid Air condition split units... The one you can connect the solar direct to the outdoor unit... Deye has it on thier website, but all the deye dealers i have reached out to don't have it in stock...

Thank you for your response. So the 60A charge controller is too small for the 6x 180w s?

https://www.abujaelectricity.com/nerc-sbt-compliance/

omo , from here you can know whether you are affected by the price hike...if you are in wuse 2, asokoro, maitama...no worry , you go pay wotowoto.

Not the 60A, but the capacity of a 12v system.
Almost all charger controllers at 12v(one battery) of any amp of charger controller CANNOT DO ABOVE 700w. Your total wattage from the s exceed what the cc can take. You are feeding the cc with 1080w (6×180w) instead of max of 700w. Check the label at the back of the cc as the info is there.
