dtruseeker: As soon as as I saw your list, even before reading your question, I suspected you'll have problems with charging. 1. What is the rating/capacity of your battery? you did not provide this information. From my guess it isn't less than 40AH. As a rule, always make sure the wattage of your solar panel is the right one for your battery else it will take longer to charge. A fast calculation for me will be to multiply the battery power by 2.5: i.e if you are using battery power of 100AH make sure your solar power is not less than 250watt. If you are using 40AH, make sure your solar is 100watt. A more detailed calculation is: If you check the back of your panel, you'll notice that for every 20watt of solar panel, you can get 1Amp of current. for example, 20 watt solar panel = 1Amp current 40watt solar panel = 2 Amp current 60watt solar panel = 3 Amp current 80watt solar panel = 4 Amp current 100watt solar panel = 5 Amp current etc. In Nigeria, we are blessed with up to 7hour sunlight daily. This means that your 80watt solar panel can deliver 4Amp X 7hours = 28AmpHours also written as 28AH. Now lets suppose you use a battery rated 28AH, this will take you one single day to get it fully charged since your solar panel can deliver this in one day. Again if your battery is rated 56AH, this will take you 2 days etc. So, in your case, to get your battery fully charged in one day, simply INCREASE THE NUMBER OF SOLAR PANELS. I'm sure your question now is: How many more solar panels do I need to buy? Answer= Divide your battery AH rating by 28AH, approximate it to the nearest whole number and minus 1 (since you already have 1) e.g If you use 100AH, calculate thus: 100AH/28AH = 3.57, i.e approximate = 4solar panels -1= 3 additional solar panels (each rated 80watt) Go to Alaba market and buy 3 more 80watt solar panels Sit back and enjoy daily constant uninterrupted power supply. 5 Likes 2 Shares |

dtruseeker:I don't think your charge controller can fully charge your battery coz the charging voltage for your type of battery is 17v & the maximum voltage a pwm charge controller can supply is 14v to 14.5 v, your type of battery voltage is 16v when fully charged. |

Feshizzy:thank you for the info. Here is the set up. Sorry there's no ladder for me to climb the roof for now to snap the solar panel 1 Like

pato405: Thanks for the thorough analysis sir. Since the battery is 40AH and going with your calculation, I need 100w panel, what if I add another 80w to the 80w I am currently using? |
Re: How To Create A Locally Made Inverter With Ease by dtruseeker(m): 12:31pm On Jun 27, 2017 |
Penuelseun:Thank you sir. Actually, I use 12v charger to charge the battery with "NEPA" light. |
Re: How To Create A Locally Made Inverter With Ease by pato405(m): 1:54pm On Jun 27, 2017 |
dtruseeker: That will be perfect and will give you a daily full dose of charging. But if you want to be economical you could simply go for a 4owatt panel and save yourself some money. No qualms if you can afford another 80w panel |
Re: How To Create A Locally Made Inverter With Ease by pato405(m): 2:12pm On Jun 27, 2017 |
dtruseeker: Make sure that your panels are facing north direction. Your wires coming from the panels look so thin. Make sure they are not less than 2.5mm or use 4mm (so you dont lose current due to high resistance thin wires). I like you solar charge controller. Where did you get them for N4K. I don't mind buying from the person as I intend fixing mine next week hopefully. |

Good day all my fellow achievers and goal getters. My setup is NOT the most expensive. 2, 40ah lifepo4 battery and 100ah deepcycle battery. I use a 650va ups for this setup. Pls I plan to buy a 1000watt inverter. Pls is it true that the ups consumes and waste too much power. Making an inverter more efficient. Is the inverter more efficient. |

Re: How To Create A Locally Made Inverter With Ease by vitality22(m): 9:26pm On Jun 28, 2017 |
Calebeslove4u:yes, those are the holes. However, after pouring the distilled water, DO NOT cover it immediately charge the battery full with the lids still open. |
Re: How To Create A Locally Made Inverter With Ease by Feshizzy(m): 9:33pm On Jun 28, 2017 |

Re: How To Create A Locally Made Inverter With Ease by aluku5: 8:55pm On Jul 03, 2017 |
pato405:Pls what capacity of battery, charge controller and inverter do I need for a 60w solar panel? Will the specified system be able to power a laptop? |
Re: How To Create A Locally Made Inverter With Ease by pato405(m): 3:16am On Jul 04, 2017 |
aluku5: 60W solar panel is quite little, but here is what I'll recommend: A little calculation to get the answer you seek. (Some people believe you can get 7hours sunlight in Nigeria, but to be on the safe side in calculating, I'll rather use a 5hour benchmark) Your panel can deliver = 60watt X 5hours average sunlight hours , i.e 300watthours However, the panels are not 100% efficient and will lose some energy just as your PWM Solar charge controller is not 100% efficient. In most cases, they both deliver just about 60% of the panel capacity. So you can, in reality, only have 60% of 300watthours = 180watthours So, get a battery with 180watthours. To get the value of this battery, divide by 12volts, i.e180watthours/12volts = 15Ah In essence, you can get a 12volts 15Ah battery. There are no 12volts 15Ah batteries, but you can get 12volts 7.5Ah batteries (the type usually seen in UPS) So get 2 of them and connect them in series to give you 12volts 15Ah You solar panel can confidently charge this batteries to 100% daily. I think this can power your laptops rated 65watt for about 3 hours. So, it's really a very small power bank that can't really do much for you. They will do better with lighting up you one-room self contain with say, 3 of 5watt bulbs and a 12watt fan for about 6hours daily. 3 Likes 1 Share |
