Thanks for your post, please how many 200watts solar panel will I use to power my 1.5kva luminous inverter of 2 of 12VDC,200AH batteries

globatop:
Thx, all. I followed this thread all through, do I still need either of PWM or MPPT controller if I don't intend to use solar panels, just inverter and batteries and PHCN to charge batteries.

melakes:
thnx for all the info on ds thread OP. low consumers having only a room&parlour with only tv, a small fridge, energy bulbs, & few other low energy consuming tinz. do u think solar is ideal? if yes, plz like hw mch will complete d set up wch shuld last 24hrs.
thnx again.

Dunka The Solar Shop has discontinued them. What would you like to know? I have about 6 of them installed for customers and my own consumption. 4 in Lagos and 2 in Port Harcourt.

I have a 3kva inverter which working very well before but suddenly started mis behaving. it doesn't change automatically when power is restored, I will have to put off a switch at d rear before power comes into d house. same thing happens wen I want to put on the inverter, it doesn't power the house until I return that switch. will rily appreciate yr advice. thanks

Desanta:
Noted. I'm actually in the process of having 24/7 solar power supply. Nice.

Good day, pls I Have 1000wait inverter with four 1500hm batteries pls if I which to use solar panel with it which one will u recommend for me and will I be able to use it for my freezer and other Gajt

geesampower:

I guess you mean 150Ah batteries.
I won't advice you to use that witth your freezer. U will get the inverter burnt in no time sir.

geesampower:
Yeah, it's Geesam again. Here to make sure you are informed.

You see a lot of solar power offers especially on online store especially the popular ones here in nigeria. Many are just carefully packaged offers that are nothing what they promise. You get them and develop the notion that solar power is not reliable.

Solar power is Expensive ( but still cheaper than generators anyway) so before you pay for any solar generator, solar power installation, or anything related, here are tips to ensure you get value for the good money you are paying.


I deal on the batteries only









Get this right and you will regret wasting money all these years on petrol/diesel generators.


Solar power is reliable, lasts longer than any generator you could ever buy and is a class of it's own.

Solar power is much cheaper than fueling a generator for 10years.

You won't regret investing in one if you get your facts right.


I will answer ANY, I mean ANY question you may have on solar power.


Pls no adverts here and don't ask me for my phone number or mail. Ask your questions here and I will answer here


If you have any challenges or dissatisfaction with your solar power installation, pls bring it here and let me proffer solutions

Thank you.

Isodunolami:
thanks. Pls advice on what to do

geesampower:

Get a 2000w inverter at least. And ensure you don't load it more than 60% it's rated capacity so it serves you for a long time doing otherwise will get the mosfets hot and burn out in no time. All the best

TheBestGovernor:
One thing that the OP mentioned that I like so much is the information on the solar charge controllers. Many people don't this fact, NEVER BUY a PWM charge controller, it will give you a lot of headache, instead, be ready to buy a PMMT charge controller no matter the amount.

PMMT charge controllers may cost 3 times the price of a PWM charge controller, but the benefits are enormous. PMMT charge controllers ensures that you have optimum power conversion from the solar panels. If you are not ready to buy a PMMT charge controller, don't install solar panels

The OP did not mention cable sizing, this also an important aspect you need to consider when installing solar panels especially when distance of termination (connection) points is far apart. Small cables will drop voltages which will eventually affect the overall power delivered to your load(s).

geesampower:

True and not true. On the dc end it is strictly KW but we don't use DC conventionally so KVA is appropriate as inverters can be rated in kva by multiplying the power (kw) of the inverter by the power factor of the inverter.

Thank you

I have never regreted buying my Tiger 950 I pass my neighbour generator what is solar when I can buy 1litre of Fuel to power my tuke tuke

DUNKA:
Reliability and efficiency. The real practical application and not d hype. Thanks

kayo80:
OP, pls how much would it cost me to get solar panels/solar power fixed for a 2 bedroom apartment... 1 fridge, 1 freezer, 3 air-conditioning units, and some lighter electrical appliances? And what is the cost of maintenance over the years? Thank you.

gbigbega:
Thanks for this useful info.
I will like to install a 5kva Inverter that's hybrid (uses solar panel and PHCN), please what will be the cost of this?

syras:
Geesampower, how much is the rough estimate of using solar power to generate power for duplex house while cutting off PHCN totally? Thank you as I anticipate your reply.
