Could you please explain further?
If you factor in the DoD of the tubular battery. The Lithium battery makes way more sense financially.

Lithium battery last longer than tubular ( lead acid) batteries. So you are better off buying lithium.

Also even though the lithium is 100ah, lead acid battery capacity only has 50% usable capacity (without adverse effect on the lead acid battery), so hence 200ah can only be safely discharged 100ah without adverse effect on the lead acid battery. Whereas you can do 80-90% on lithium batteries.

So basically a 100ah lithium is approximately 200ah lithium battery.

Other advantage include that lithium battery is lighter,more compact and charges at a faster rate than lead acid batteries.

10kva might be too expensive for him to setup. My circular saw(power devil) is 1400w, my inverter is 2.5kva transformer based, my battery is 5kw Lifepo4. In my opinion 5kva transformer based inverter will handle the surge fine. I only experience surge when the blade comes in contact with really hard parts of d wood. Extra power is required to cut through that, hence the surge.
Obnoxious2001:
You will need around 10kva considering your start up surge.

Then you where saying 1 battery? What kind of battery where you looking at?

Aside from the solar, I think there is a battery powered circular saw in the market.

Try and explore that option it might be more cheaper than the solar.
It depends on the scale at which you cut wood at the workshop

Hmmm you made a lot of sense. I think Ive to investigate if the cordless one have spare batteries

Just buy a cordless one?
I'll check the cord less one , and investigate against my power usage . because I'll still for the solar system so I can constantly charge the batteries

I get it now, thanks.

Haykay2001:
During my research, I discovered a solar-powered freezer that I believe would be ideal for my customer's ice block production business, enabling them to manufacture ice blocks for sale. Attached is the picture.

Has anyone had hands-on experience with this solar freezer? I've learned that it can operate on both AC and solar power, which is convenient. However, my client's specific requirement is a freezer capable of producing ice blocks, and I'd love to hear from someone with practical experience in this area.

A few weeks ago, we purchased a Hisense chest freezer, which unfortunately turned out to be a disappointing investment. Despite running it for three days, it failed to produce a full ice block, falling short of our expectations.

I'm seeking recommendations for a reliable freezer specifically designed for ice block production, beyond homemade solutions. Your advice would be greatly appreciated.

Will be waiting in the comment section.
Thanks all
This company is the same company that makes Hzsolar battery. I took a leap of faith to use their battery for an installation on the past, but it turned out to be a very bad decision. Use this information as you may.

Update March 18, 2025: Battery still showing me shege and I'm learning the truth bit by bit.
1. I suspect grade B cells were used
2. Battery can't charge above 27.4v
3. The company reps are just full of lies and deception.
4. Their boss, a Chinese man seems to be a good sport. But the naija guys are just trash.

Bros do you use any of this tools, cos the carpenter and furniture people I've been interviewing here are saying the battery power circular cutting machine doesn't last. Tho I'll have a my solar system on standby.

Another disadvantage of the the battery powered is that it'll be close to impossible to under table mount it

Let me find out for you.

I have only seen the table type

I have screenshoted the video where I captured the moment it was been used in a workshop

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Ferdiwar:
I use some power tools (excluding the circular saw) and they are all cordless and so far I'll say that the wired ones are way better as they are more powerful and packs more torque.

For commercial use get a wired one and set up the inverter as intended.

3kva to 5kva inverter will handle it well.

Size the battery and panels based on your need.

That's true, I own a battery powered drill and an electric drill. Both are miles apart in power when you compare the lil torque produced by the battery type against the huge torque you experience on the electric counterpart.

I've settled for the powered one. Thanks.

Thanks boss. I've settled for the powered one. Good inverter and batteries can see me through.

For purpose of learning, if anyone wants to mount a cordless circular saw machine undertable, use a adjustable hose clip, attach a 10 socket to the head of the clip. Then weld an extended rod to protrude out of side of the table, then weld an adjacent short rod for tighten and loosen up the powergrip.

See I just love nairaland!

good morning, for a system of 3 panel, charge controller, good inverter , 2 lfp. What good products can you recommend for a power need to power a circular cutting machine

Modern 100L is now 80 or 90w
5 units is roughly 400w or 450w

What is the wattage of the 519L?
240W
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by RickyM(m):
Happy new year to y’all great people out here.
Does anyone has 80A MPPT they are no longer using grin grin grin Make we deal abeg
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Olarewajub:
My tubular batteries have been acting funny since I refilled them with distilled water.

This evening, the level of both batteries came down to 21.3 volts. (I have never experienced this before, and the lowest level has always been maintained at 24 volts).

I switched off the inverted, and the reading returned to 24 volts. What could be wrong?

PS: This observation was made this evening, and the sun's rays were low throughout the day.

Bros your batteries is how many?
And what quantity of use do you rate circular saw.
