[quote author=SolnergyPower post=58445468]How many units of AC and what's the horsepower of each AC?

[/quote

It's Lg window unit. I don't knw d horsepower. It's d normal Lg gold window unit AC .

I have a backup power system I set up myself - a 12V 1KVA Inverter and a single 200AH 12V battery. It powers a single computer, Internet modem and a fan (total power draw is 280W). It's not connected to the house grid. I get about 4.5 to 5 hours until the inverter cuts off but I need the setup to run 24x7.

What rating of panels do I need, and how many? I also want to mention that I might not have access to the roof, so what can work for me?

This post is for inverter users, most of my clients using inverters are complaining of low or no phcn to charge their battery
and we all know charging using generator reduces the life span of a deep cycle battery.

Solar is no longer expensive as it used to be, I am going to give the current market price of all solar equipment so you have an idea

Part A
1 Solar Panel
A 12v battry rated at 200Ah needs about 300w or 400w panel to charge the battery full. [assuming 7 hours of sunlight a day]
The available panel in the market are 125w and 200w

Option A
So if you are going to use 125w panel, then you need 2 or 3 panels per battery depending on your pocket.
[Recommended for 0.8kva inverter]

Option B
If you are going for 200w panel, then you need 1 or 2 panel per battery, depending on your pocket.
[Recommended for 1.5kva inverter]


2 Solar charge Controller
A charge controller limits the rate at which electric current is added to or drawn from electric batteries. It prevents overcharging and may protect against overvoltage, which can reduce battery performance or lifespan, and may pose a safety risk.

12v, 15a is recommended for option 1
24v,30a is recommended for option 2

3 Cables
Depending the distance from where you mount your panel to the battery

4 Angle Bar [optional]
Angle bar is the frame upon which the solar is mounted, althought the last one is optional. If you have a roof where you can access, then there is no need to make Angle bar.

This is my roof, i can install my panel without the angle bar

hello pls I need inverter that can power one laptop, one monitor and one thermal printer

The truth is that solar is the way forward in Nigeria. I hope my country get to a stage when we can start looking into renewable energy sources as opposed to the problems that come with refining crude oil. God bless Nigeria.
