If you not going hybrid,

Charge controller.all mppt,
Fangpuson.
Epever.
Less in cost power Mr.

Inverter,

Must inverter.

Luminous inverter.

Make hybrid people add.

You also ask what makes 12v different from 24v, that is you system or battery bank. When starting decide what your battery bank will be first. 24v is better than 12v , so also 48v is more reliable than 24v. From there you can get your inverter or charge controller according to your battery bank.

Thank you boss

I plan to get a DIY 230ah battery set up with it

Please also awaiting input from people that bought hybrid especially from Alibaba

Please, someone should help me and check which of these two tv could get power saving feature as the guy I met in LG show room was unable to answer my question.
1. LG with model no 55un6800pva 155w.
2. Hisense with model no 55a6g 130w.

The two will most likely have.

But to , I will have suggested you get yourself a "wattmeter" handy for you to determine power consumptions right before purchase of not just your TV when you want to purchase it, but also any other electrical gadgets for that matter.

For a rough approach however, to determine if a TV has power saving feature, on the remote control, go to the menu. From the options, look for "picture settings" and select that. Then look for either "Backlight" or "power saving" in the options and select that. You then adjust it, usually comes as 1 to 100 or as percentages depending on the manufacturer. 1 is lowest while 100 is highest consumption.

What that does is to effectively reduce the brightness of the LED strip (for TVs with edge lighting) or LED back lights (for TVs with their LEDs at the back). This is similar to adjusting the brightness of a LED bulb where you can have a 50w LED bulb consume progressively less power as you reduce the brightness.

NB: Do not confuse "Backlight" or "Power saving" option with "Brightness" option, the trio of which are usually options under picture settings menu. Adjusting the three also give similar result of altering the brightness of the TV screen. However "brightness" option does not reduce power consumption, the former two does.

This is my go to website to get quick specs verifications for TVs.

https://www.displayspecifications.com/

Excuzeme:


I am also looking for one, my 55" LG TV uses 120W!
If l see a DC type of the same size or bigger,, l will get rid of it and buy that.

The nameplate consumption is what it consumes at full blast. I guess your TV will have power saving feature which if activated will reduce to at least 55 watts. You may even achieve less sef.

I just got delivery of 32 Units of 280Ah Cells from a Supplier in China.
I will recommend you use the Company.
Just search for Shenzen New Dery Energy Company, on alibaba.
The name of the Lady is "Selina Li".

I had an issue with 4Cells in the delivery because the Shipper she used, allowed 4Cells to be damaged, outof the 32 Cells and the Clearance in Lagos was a bit high but l got to know that she had changed the Shipper to a better one now.
Her Guaranty is also good as she is replacing the damaged Cells.
A few people here are expecting some shipment from her in a two-three Months from now.

If you reach her on time, she might be able to pack your purchase in the current Shipment.

BTW: I got introduced to her by @valto.

You guys have been too helpful, I can thank you enough.
Just made the payment.

@valto
@abilityC

Thank you for all the help and guidance.

FireTheSun:


I dont appreciate it, when People bandy words loosely and carelessly!
I hope you have recovered from your shock?

I have good reason to COMPLAIN, because l did not initially get Value for what l paid for, due to damage in transit and the Seller agreed with me , after some time. And we have reconciled because she was reasonable about it. What else?
How that translates to an "Outburst" on your part, when there was "No Violence" involved, only God knows.

Funnily enough, You did not contribute a single word to the issue, when l mentioned it here (unlike @mctfopt and @Valto who mediated), yet here you are calling my post "an OUTBURST".

A "Complaint" is not "an Outburst", unless Violence is involved.

Let the matter rest, abeg.

I'm sure @Earthrealm did not mean it the way you see it. And if not for your screenshot explaining things, I myself could have easily used the same word for you as an innocuous banter.

that English isn't our papa language. Ńa dem oyinbo force am on top us.

uniqUN:


Wow. That's a lot. I guess I will have to load it little by little starting with the smallest and see how it goes. Thanks for your response.

It seems you believe all your gadgets will have surge capacity. But from the items you listed, none has surge. And @ bolded should be the other way round when loading two or more high surge gadgets on a single power source. You start with the item with the highest surge consumption, then the next highest and then others follow in that manner.

Gadgets that have surges include HVAC like Air conditioners, freezers and refridgerators. Others are pumping machines and microwave ovens.

uniqUN:


OH wow! Thanks for that tip. I had in mind that ALL equipments do have the surge. I guess my only concern then is my fan. Thank you.

BTW, I received delivery of my charge controller yesterday. I want to order for the attached inverter. Do you think it can serve for my said loads? Or would you recommend I buy a better and more reliable Pure Sine Wave inverter product here?

Your charge controller was a good choice, although there are more ones capable of cutting a larger hole in your pocket. But for the price, PowMr does a pretty good job. In addition it will still be quite relevant in future upgrades which I am sure you will still do when your addiction to solar becomes incurable with use.

As per your inverter, it is 12v and adequate for the listed gadgets. But have it in mind that it becomes irrelevant by the time you want to do an either 24v or 48v system ecosystem.

Your choice of lithium is also perfect. All the best.

Whoa. This is huge knowledge for me boss. I really do appreciate your reassurance on my choice of CC and inverter, especially. I have really been skeptical about it.

I see a lot of sense in first loading the highest consuming gadget now that you mentioned it.

You really saw deep into my mind on that one I intend to start small and get myself acquainted with solar energy before I a larger scale - but still, I don't want to get it wrong even for a first try.

Thanks so much. I really do appreciate it.

Big thank you to those that dropped their contribution about the DIY auto change over, though a ready made one was used at the site but the idea will be experimented on for personal project.

Do not limit yourself by being small minded, think BIG!

Have a productive week ahead.

Good day to all the bosses in the house. I really want to appreciate the selfless contributions on this page thus far. I've gotten to a point where I need to delve into DIY solar power generation. Please I'd like to be guided with what my 700k budget can get for me for starters...I intend to go into solar fully but I want to start with this budget. Like for starters I'd be needing it to power 2 ceiling fans, charging of phones, a decoder, charging of a laptop. TVs and others can come in in subsequent upgrades.
Thanks as I eargerly anticipate responses

Rough budget:
Get a 3kva hybrid inverter 24 or 48v - 200k (can be neatly used ones)
4 X 250w s - 200k
Lifepo4 battery 50ah 48v or 100ah 24v - 300k

You still need another 50 to 100k for connection accessories

It is important that the load side is looped

I.e. L-L, N-N, so that if grid or inverter is present ...only the active side switched to the device feeds out.

mustpower 3kva (2400w) can only take around 1600w of s, and is not that robust, sorotec 3kva(3000w) can take up to 5000w of connected in series(it is the high pv voltage type) it can work on batteryless mode,it has wifi monitoring and it is a newer model hybrid inverter.

For a Hybrid Inverter, you might want to consider this 3KVA Hybrid Product from Gennex Technologies.

https://shop.gennextechnologies.com/product-category/inverters/

There is Certainty that their Products are Original, What you are buying is Original and you are not bothered or worried whether what you have is a lemon or just stuck with a "label".
Their 3KVA Hybrid @#220K is a good choice, in my own opinion
It can work without battery and has a factor of 1 (energy loss is almost Zero and it is a high Voltage Inverter that can take s to almost twice its capacity)

I use their 5KVA Hybrid Inverter and am about to. even Upgrade it to 8KVA, so l can go off the Grid completely.
It is very, very rugged and they are currently doing "SALES".
Their s are Original, "Canadian Solar", expensive but the best, in the market.
I have 9KW of those Canadian Solar s on my Roof right now.

The choice of LiFePo4 Cells offered by @Valto is a a good one.
You will need to buy a Daly BMS, say 8S, 100A (I am not sure if he has that in Store right now) or from China. (AliExpress)
And we can all guide you on how to set it up here.


Caveat: I am an End like you so, l am speaking from the POV f a . I dont sell anything.

To be honest, l am not a fan of separate Charge Controller and Inverter.
I dont even consider it a cheaper option, in the long run.
Some say it gives them control over their PV aspect of their setup but it is like someone choosing a Manual gear Drive over and Automatic Gear Drive in a Car! When l bought my first Automatic gear Car in year 2000, all my friends said l am "mad" as l wont have "firm control" over the Car. about three years later`, following my experience, they are all converts of Automatic gear.

I think if you use a Hybrid Inverter, it is cheaper than buying them separate, it saves you money of cabling of the two separately and the hybrid has an efficient way of managing the two together and with more advanced Hybrids in the market, they have become more reliable and have large Charging Current range.

But since you have bought the MPPT Controller already, l will suggest you not restrict yourself to that small Inverter, if funds will allow, buy something like 1.5KVA, Pure Sine Wave Inverter, these things get obsolete, very quickly, in of your requirement .in the nearest future.
Sorry for the late response.

Valto:
wrong calculation sha, a well packed 280ah cells, 4pcs in carton with enough white foam. one cbm will take 64pcs. right now one cbm of battery goods is 420k upwards (inclusive custom duties ) shipping time is 3 to 4months.

Ok if Custom duty is inclusive then thats not too bad but still expensive though

tsiriman:


Thank you for your response, I communicated with them but my only issue is that they said I have to handle the custom duties and clearance.
They quoted $730 for 1CBM sea shipping but that I still have to clear by myself. I would have gone with the price if it included up till delivery.
Currently discussing with them and other suppliers to see if they will ship including clearing and customs duty.

Na wa o, Shipping cost has really gone up, to pay 730usd for shipping and then wait for months then still pay for Customs clearing sounds way too much maybe best to consider shipping rates from other reputable sellers of Lifepo4 batteries...

Have you got a range of energy logger with high CT rating ....... interested in price range

Please what was your total landing cost? (in dollars)

cost was USD 560.00 i was told by Fedex to pay 15k for custom duty before it could be sent to my house which i did sharp sharp! And it was delivered to my doorstep
