Reactions as man shares his experience

Ajia Olayemi Sofiullahi wrote:

"May be your battery is becoming weak or your energy consumption in d day time is much more than wat your panels generate."

Promise Mathias added:

"Tubular battery is the worst type of battery you can get for your solar system reason being that. 1. Most of the tubular batteries in the market are expired and fake. 2. No be every installer Sabi how to install it because if you use anyhow charge controller consider your battery gone.""

Victor Abraham shared:

"Everyone is saying add water to the battery, he said he just bought the battery last month what could have drained the liquid so fast?? If the system is new, the main issue could be that the system was not properly sized to meeet your load needs, wrong connection, inverter is not charging your battery or panel not enough. Tell me the full system components."

"Tubular batteries are problematic. Encourage your customers to embrace new technology using lithium batteries, a technology far better than deep circles. Honestly, my challenges have been very less using lithium batteries."

He explained that solar freezers may not be strong enough for that kind of work. He advised them to use inverter-freezers with solar instead.
