I'm not worried about the unit getting damaged due to power delivery mismatch as that would be highly unlikely. I'm concerned about the data feed from the unit being transmitted as would be expected. It is based on my little understanding of how cabling ordinarily works that I am tending...

So, I have a mini system set up for now, one which I will hopefully be increasing as I go. I experienced some limitations when I was carrying out the purchase and, to cut the story short, I had to make do with what was available and supplied to me. So far, the unit works pretty well but an...

How are you able to tell from the pictures?

I tried to search for the name but unsuccessfully. How do I find her?

What do you mean by 250/70 solar charge controller? What do the figures represent?

It was impossible to purchase a lithium battery as it exceeded my budget a lot. So, I got a tubular flooded lead acid battery and it is sufficient for now. I may have to add another as soon as I can afford it as it appears that the setup will be able to take it. The battery gets fully charged...

The way Alibaba works feels very complex to me. There are different ranges of prices, some cheap and some expensive, on the same product. Then, there is the shipping cost that tends to be more than the price of the goods in some cases. It seems for the rich and unperturbed, not for folks from...

Do you intend to buy a lot at once, like wholesale? If not, why Alibaba? Why not Aliexpress?

I am excited by your excitement. Where did you get the batteries from?

I wonder how this panned out eventually.

Thank you. I have come to learn that lead acid means different things to different people because there are different types of lead acid batteries, even for the ones compatible with solar energy systems. So, what exactly do you mean by lead acid batteries? Over here, I only just recently found...

For the panels, I intend to have them tested at the shops before purchase, as someone I know was able to do that. Those lifepo4 batteries seem really expensive for me right now. However, I should be able to upgrade to them down the line. Thank you.

By installers, I meant technicians who sell and install solar energy systems in our parts. They are just referred to as "solar installers" here for simplicity. I hope this clarifies that.

I was reading up about solar charge controllers and an author basically extolled PWM controllers as being foremost. In Nigeria, many installers (technicians) use the PWM to set up home units for their customers. I've never really attempted to learn much about solar energy systems until recently...

By the way, I have a concern that regards usage of power while the setup is charging. I may have to go for a LiFePO4 battery, maybe a 12V 100-150Ah, for now. With 5 hours of adequate sunlight, I can get it to fully charge per day (I wonder if that is safe, essential or necessary) using the two...
