kingphilip:
yes its very much possible. i am an accountant and i'm also a good solar engineer

fm4real2k6:
I'm currently in Ilorin, Kwara state, I need a 3.5kva Inverter + Batteries.
I do not have money for solar Panels for now.
I do want to know which Generator capacity can charge this without any hassle if there is no electricity?

And please I need sound enginner that can guide/sell for me QUALITY AND DURABILITY is the watchword.

You fab contact me whatsapp ONLY: 08066920770

You are just a quack engineer. You might be an installer but not an engineer.

Its like a road side chemist guy calling himself a Doctor.

kingphilip:
you may have to prove that

stuffs4me:


What is there to prove again.
You are basically an installer.


You don't have the required qualifications to call yourself an engineer. End of story.

kingphilip:
what qualifications qualifies one to be called an engineer

kingphilip:
you may have to prove that

We have a fixation on titles. Maybe people should look at the dictionary and see what it says an engineer is.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineer
Maybe this will settle this once and for all. There are people who have the experience and know how that outperform engineers.
You don't need a designation to be good at what you do.

Solar is not as expensive as being portrayed and besides NEPA is relatively cheap because it is not available and you cannot run generator 24/7 and compare it to solar apart from being highly inconvenient. I installed a 1000W solar system in May 2016 and i have not run generator since then neither has anything failed. People meet quacks who knows little about solar designs and when they are given poor systems they start making generalizations that solar doesnt last.
Start using solar and you will never go back...yes its additive cos it feels great to control your own energy.

There are no such people bro.

Apparently, you haven't read the link you posted yourself because there is nothing in the write up to say you can call yourself what you are not.

Please what is the total cost for the 1KW solar system?

Mightyraw:

Yea dats what we do,
We isolate the heavy system so that it wont run down the inverter,
When u said u installed 2.5kva for 260k dat gat me confused
Cos an average 12volt battery now is above 100k depending on the producer

Kingsley1000:
yea....rocking for 8months now,with good inverter system(battery)

idsolar:
1. Wellsee charge controller C2430 12/24v 30amp
- NEW

2. Emel inverter 1,500va, 24v (used) for sale

12volt battery is above 100k! What is the size of the battery I mean in AH?

I wrote this analysis actually a few months ago to answer a question about using solar setup for an hair saloon or so. I have modified to reflect current market scenario. Pls enjoy!##

I will attempt to answer this. I have a business that must have power supply 24/7. This is my 6th year and 10th generator (6 petrol, 4 diesel including two 3.5kva, one 5.5 Lister and the biggest is a 15kva diesel.) About a year ago I installed a 5kva inverter coupled to 4 deep cycle batteries and 1.4kw solar panels. This decision I have not regretted as I will analyse below.
First: The CHEAPEST power source in Nigeria is the National grid (Nepa of Old) BUT this is almost always unreliable for business.
Secondly: A good business centre should run from 8am to 6pm or even 8pm if in a school area, increasing the fuel use by 50%.
Thirdly: For his power need he will have to get a bigger gen set than a 2.8kva!!!! Otherwise the generator will be dead in 3 months carrying that load for 8 hours a day. A 5kva gen is more realistic.
Finally: the worth of anything you purchase is more meaningful is considered over a reasonable lifespan. So my calculations will be based over 3 years of usage since the common deep cycle batteries in Nigeria's lifespan is 3 years .
Now to calculations:
Gen 5kva petrol :130-150,000
Fuel@150/L X15L/dayX300 working days per year X 3 years = 2,025,000
Maintenance cost (oil/servicing/parts)@ 50,000X 3= 150,000
Total = @ 2,325,000
That is 2.3 million to provide NOISY power for 12 hours.
////////////////////////////////////////////////
Now to solar - inverter set up that can last for 24 hours or more of heavy usage.
5kva pure sine wave inverter : 200,000
2 X 60amp charge controllers : 200,000
12X 250w Mono solar panels@ 60k: 720,000
8 X 12v 200amp deep cycle batteries : 840,000
Installation costs/ accessories @ 200,000
Total : 2,160,000
That means for the generator person to enjoy 24/7 power over the first 3 years, he will pay 2.3 million X 2 =4.6million compared to solar setup of @ 2.2million with change.
Since solar panels can last 25 years or more, the cost benefits keep accumulating yearly. The only component that you need to change as efficiency reduces is the batteries.
The ONLY negative of solar - inverter power system is the INITIAL cost of purchase and installation. After that comes the enjoyment!!

Read what I wrote slowly. If you don't get it, let me break it down. You don't need to be an engineer to be good at work engineers do.
Read about Henry Ford and many men like him. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Ford

PS. I am not your bro.

stuffs4me:


Stop embarrassing yourself bro.

Go back and read both links you posted. Its not anybody's fault you failed your exams in school. If only you had the tiniest ability to read, you would have realised that my point was about people claiming to be what they are not. Did you even read in the link you posted where Henry Ford became an Engineer and even rose to become chief Engineering? Oh I forgot. You are quite disabled in the aspect of reading and comprehension.

Even in the hospitals there are people who carry out medical functions and are good at what they do like nurses, but that does not mean they are Doctors. I'm sure your empty scull will find that too difficult to understand.

Your type are those babalawos that claim to be Doctors on Nigeria.

chris81964:


I don't blame you. Just because we find ourselves pissing in a urinal a child feels his dick is the same as his father's.
I wish you luck kid.
