Thanks.

1) Please how many solar power will carry 1 refrigerator, 1 Television, 6 bulbs, 1 laptop and phone?

2) How many hours will it last?
I leave in an area with poor NEPA light and sometimes low sun rays raining season

Desanta:
I need the estimate for a 3.5kva solar inverter that will power my deep freezer and pumping machine.

Most of my friends with inverter are complaining that most of the battery available in the country are fake and they didn't last up to 2 years. Is this true?

Feranmhine:

sir concern the battery is the rate of consumption & maintenance
& about the estimate, have it in mind, you will spend above #500thousand

Desanta:


Thanks.
I have a budget of a million naira.
My fear is if it will carry those items I listed.

earthrealm:


whats the rating of the pumping machine, 1.5hp or 1hp?...and how many hours do you wish to run it daily, ditto goes for the freezer,
lastly how is phcn in your area, and do you wish to add solar to it??

Desanta:

The pumping machine is 1.5hp and the inverter is for a about 6 hours daily.
I want to use solar panels. I get phcn light for about 6 hours daily.

earthrealm:


read my questions again slowly and answer all of them, you didnt

edit: by ditto i mean whats the wattage of your freezer, and how many hours do you wish to run it daily?

Desanta:


The voltage is 240 volts and I intend to run it for 6 hours daily.

earthrealm:


Wattage o...not voltage.
Get someone technical to help you look at the freezer and find out the wattage

Desanta:


200 WATS.

The main issue is your pumping machine..it draws too much power and would kill your batteries under 1.5yrs..unless you install minimum of 8 batteries.

The safe max energy you should draw from a battery is C/20 = 10amps for a 200ah battery...n this translates to roughly120w.
Multiply this by the nos of batteries you hv to get the max load you can safely put on your bank.
Total energy stored in a 12v 200ah battery is 2400wh..n total you can safely use is 50% = 1kwh if you factor in losses.
So your 200w freezer wud last 5hrs on a single battery. So use this to know how many batteries you need..depending on the duration.as you can see.the freezer exceeds your battery safe energy draw...thus 2 batts is the minimum you need shud you choose to power only your freezer.

Why not try running your pump only when there is phcn..that way.you can get a 4 x 12v 200ah bank n enjoy it.you can add 6 x 300w solar panels to ensure seemless operation.

Should you insist on the pumping machine..then get 8 or 12 batts and 12 to 18 pieces of 300w Panels.ensure you buy an inverter with a good surge capacity..the mustpower inveeter is affordable and can handle surge loads.would recommend 4kva or higher.

Nice one OP..very useful information. this might never get to the front-page.
OP: change your heading to tuface..maheeda or Davido smiling at an inverter. I bet u it will get to the FP in 5mins.

Inverters are nice.. I love it. Hope to get one though if GMB fails to fix our light (20 hrs a day)

GMB failed and Tinubu is still playing blame game. Hope you've done the needful
