Yes, it (the Famicare Charger) isn't outputting max current towards the max voltage, but it also isn't outputting low charging current which should have been the case for a battery almost at full capacity.

THE FAMICARE CHARGER ISNT A SMART CHARGER, its more of a bulk charger....if you want a smart charger go the foxur or anjing pulse repair charger, only con is that its max at twenty amps at twelve volts and ten amps at twenty four volts

Thanks boss, it is a 3s96p [12v 250ah] system. The fan is to provide cooling for the bulk converters as I can't seem to find a charge controller with a low enough voltage to charge it. The maximum charging voltage is 12.4v.

I have the perfect PWM controller for your 3s set up.

Good morning guys

Abeg, please spec me or give quotation of what I will need to run the following for more than 15 hours - 20 hours daily.

2 X Aircon 1.5Hp.
TV and stereo system.
Security CCTV system
1 X Fridge or Deep freezer (medium sized)
Lights round the property.

I have also been looking at hybrid inverters, which ones should I have on my list that is first time user friendly and easy to use.


Finally, based on the set up, will I be able to use generator to supplement and charge the batteries due to poor power supply? Thank you all.

First you need to provide actual power ratings on those gadgets but with assumptions:

2 X Aircon 1.5Hp. : 1.5kw X 2
TV and stereo system. : 300w
Security CCTV system: 300w
1 X Fridge or Deep freezer (medium sized): 100w
Lights round the property: 200w
Total: 3.9kw
For 48v system that's 81AH
For 15hr that's 81x15= 1218AH
So you need the following:

5kw inverter such as Deye
You will need external CC as well
1400AH LFP or 2800AH lead acid
20kw panel array.

All the best when you figure out the cost. wink

@ojeysky,

You people no dey try for the guy nah grin cheesy

@samnaija,

Baba, it took me 3 months of reading to reach here o. 1000 pages and going strong no be moi-moi.

@ElRazur,

From the comments from the previous posters, you can see that running AC's especially 1.5HP is not an easy or cost-effective thing to do. Therefore, I recommend that you reduce your demand to 1HP and use an AC with inverter technology like LG or Samsung . This also means that you need a bigger inverter like 5KVA and above to comfortably take up the room and breathing space to spare. A 48v system is ideal and this automatically means 4 batteries for your system. Ratings and capacities will be another variable. To get enough panels for a 5KVA system means you need more than 5000watts in solar panels. Then a good solar charge controller & battery monitoring system. Rough estimate for you from solardepot website:
1. Victron Multiples 48v/5KVA. N920,000
2. Victron Energy SmartSolar 150v 60A N285,000
3. Victron Energy Smart Battery Monitor N100,000
4. Jinko Solar Panels 375w x 14 (to get 5250w) N80,000 (using Kiekie's price) N1,120,000
5. For batteries let's assume you get x4 Trojan or Qantas batteries at around N230,000. That's N900,000. And you can run those batteries only to 50% of the rated capacity. To run your AC, you must make it atleast 8 which is N1,800,000. For batteries o.

You still want to include those AC's ElRazur ? undecided

ACs on 4 batteries lead acid is a Capital NO..

At this stage for good return on Investment, Lifepo4 batteries is a must..

5KW panel is not enough,

I would advise @ElRazur to follow @ojeysky as he is currently using similar load.. just contact him personally to give you accurate equipment to get.

For Inverter, you can get Epever Upower Hi series hybrid 48V 5KW with 4KW MPPT for around 350k or Deye Hybrid for around 500K,

Thanks for adding those figures.

Things are currently in a planning phase and trying to figure out the way to go. Pardon my ignorance, but my original calculation using a website suggested that I needed a 10Kva inverter (only difference is I added an induction cooker to the list)

Ah.

I think you should look at what you can comfortably spend, then scale up or down accordingly

Anything that generates heat or has a compressor is an energy guzzler.

Thanks for the response and adding the estimated prices. I am looking into AC with inverters, if there's any you recommend, abeg let me know.

The whole set up will take some money initially but from reading around, I will be making massive savings in the long term.

Just a quick insight, recently I was in naija, I was spending 4k every couple of days to buy petrol (25L Jerry can) to power the 5kva gen for 2 AC units and a small deep freezer for minimum of 12 hours daily. I did this for a month. . . . In the long term, the cost is going to be substantial so switching to solar is probably the way to go.

My plan is to get things in phases once I have a finalised list. Perhaps two inverter AC and then the Hybrid inverter and so on and so forth.

As for batteries, can you clarify please if buying them now and keeping them in storage will be ideal? I am aware that some battery packs (like the ones in electric scooters) needed to be charged once every 3 months or there about. Will this be applicable to solar batteries too?

Thanks.

To be sincere with you, your budget will determine a lot on the quality & capacity of the components you will need for your solar installation especially if you insist on having the AC on it. If you had started from the beginning of the thread, you will see that it usually recommended that you start small and grow your system so as to save on cost & gain meaningful experience but everyone's situation is different. So a few tips:
1. For your AC's, get the 1HP Gencool Inverter ACs from FOUANI LG shops. They will easily cut down on the energy consumption.
2. Batteries are the last things you buy in an inverter system due to their chemical nature and degradation when stored for long term without use.
3. LiFeP04 batteries are the new kids on the block and highly recommended. Yes, more expensive initially but will pay for itself in the long run. Some can last 5yrs or more. But buy them last when you have gathered all your components.
4. You will have to do a lot of research & googling to find a reputable seller as there a lot of fakes in the market. You can buy from AliExpress or AliBaba but be prepared for high shipping prices.

Hope this helps.

Save cost
If you have enough time, do proper planning get on Alibaba get cheaper Lifepo4 cells for DIY battery bank, you can even get casing to make installation clean at very low cost, ETA is about 4-5month..

Get 32, 280AH which is 28KWH
Or 32, 300AH, 30KWH bank.
This will cost you around 3000USD, plus BMS and Case 500USD, that less than 1.8M Naira. In 5 month time you will have the batteries..

Then you can buy other items when batteries arrive..
