Story time:
So one day a friend of mine wathutsha ngokuthi theres a nice guy that i want you to meet. I trusted my friend ngathi give him inumber kwenzakale 😎😎
Ubhudi was so well spoken and wise, kwakumnandi. Kodwa wayehlala ezvishavane so our only way of getting to know each other was through the phone, sasixoxa kuze kuphume ilanga 📱☺️
He told me him and his brother had inherited his father's mine , so they were into mining full time. Ubhudi lo wayele accent zhlobo zami , in my mind i thought umuntu waze wabamba inhlanzi yegold.
So after a long time siku talking stage he suggested i come visit him in zvishavane. I couldn't wait, ngahle nga creator istory sokuphuma endlini that weekend. Wathumeza lemali yetransport ubaba 😍😋
When I got there wathutsha ngesinye iskorokoro esasivulwa ngescrew driver, kwangisolisa but he still had the accent ngathi maybe its his favorite car njengomuntu wemali zakhe
Sifike endlini Laphana hayi ngehlise iphika ngoba it looked represantable,apheke too ngahle ngathi romantic check ✔️. But yena wayengathi olukungagezi thize, ngazikhuza ngathi ngizamgeziza ubae wami.
Ahh we chill lapha and then i tell sengifuna ukuyalala, he runs me a bath 😍 kumnandi bakwethu. I get to the bedroom kuhle, ngazibona ngidliwa strong kuleyo bedroom
Sithi sesizalala, sizwe iknock.Ahambe ubaby, ngizwe kulobhudi osetshinga blind. Then this man bagdes into the room, athi kubaby mbani lo 😭. Ubaby kept quiet guys, the guy tells him to clear his mess. Honestly i was confused kwenzakalani
Few minutes ubaby tells me i should pack up we are going somewhere. At this point i had no chance to ask what was going on, he leads me to a back room in the same yard. Bazalwane i can't even describe this room ngomlomo😭 it was dirty, smelly, the blankets had never seen water.
I couldn't even sit cause there was no bed, just ingubo zendlalwe phansi. Dirty plates, kwakuyi head quarters yamawuwu. I then asked him kwenzakalani? Who was that guy and why were we now in this room. I kid you not his accent dissappeared 😂
He started explaining ukuthi lwana ngu cousin wakhe and he was supposed to have traveled. I had so many questions at this point but it was clear kwakudlaliwe ngami. Kwakungelaza mine or accent or money nothing. Ngangizodliwa nje 😭
Ngalala ngihlezi, waiting for morning to come. By 5am i was on my way back home 😭😭. Moral of the story hlala ngini!! Stay away from obhudi bama accent akulalutho😭

Good morning Mthwakazi🔆
Today we are going to talk about the heart of the solar system, the batteries 🔋🔋🔋and charge controllers ⚡⚡⚡

⚠️A thread⚠️
We all know what a battery is but ill focus on the charge controller first.
A charge controller is a device responsible for charging and maintaining the system batteries with the aid of solar panels of course, it can also supply DC loads ofcourse
Charge controllers are used MOSTLY in offgrid setups. There are 2 types of charge controllers

MPPT. & PWM

I'm getting a lot of DMs about which inverters i should buy and what not, some last some don't last.... so here's what's currently vastly available in the market. I am posting based what we have experienced so ill try to be as neutral as possible

A thread⚠️⚠️⚠️
VICTRON QUATTRO
This is one of the most expensive in the market, the "iphones" of the solar market, works with the charge controller on fig 2 or a PV inverter. Its loaded with features, can feed back to the grid, and is VERY RELIABLE & IS VALUE FOR MONEY
....
It comes in 4kw, 5kw, 8kw 15kw
Its 3 phase capable
It can be connected in parallel to up to 120kva
Needs yo be programmed

⚠️Hie guys sorry for the wait, today we are going to talk about the centre of the solar system, the inverter, we will talk about types of inverters, sizes, my personal favorites etc... this is going to be a long one [A thread]⚠️
First things first, guys electricity is dangerous, just because its an inverter it doesn't mean that the electricity it produces is not dangerous, please get a professional to install it for you, THE PROPER WAY... also, remember in solar, cheap is expensive!
Right, there are several types of inverters but i will talk about about 3 types
-offgrid
-hybrid
-Gridtie
All of them are there for different purposes

Hie guys I have decided that today we talk about Solar panels, i will tell you what they are, types of solar panels, trusted brands, also the does and don'ts! (A thread)
First things first i want to emphasize that the size of your panel does NOT necessarily determine which appliances your system can power!!!!! Its not proper to ask if a 330w panel ingavusa ifridge bantu🙉 . Kuzwakele angithi?
Right we all know a solar panel is a device which converts sunlight into electricity (Direct current to be exact) I will not dwell on the structure but i will tell you that currently in the market we have 2 types
-Polycrystalline
-Monocrystalline

Right before i tell u about what's in the market, I'll just teach you the basics of a solar system,

Basically a solar system converts the energy from the sun to electricity you can use at home and also utilizes batteries to store that energy so that you can use it later.
I will inform you about the 3 types of systems we commonly use in Zim. We have
1. Offgrid system
2. Hybrid system
3. Gridtie system
1. Offgrid system
This type of system is ideal emakhaya, where there's no zesa totally it consists of
-Charge controller
-Inverter
-Panels
-Battery
The panels here charge the battery n supplies inverter with power, then the inverter powers your appliances.
