Since you're working from home then location of ur accommodation shouldn't be prioritise. I can say confidently that there will those location around that have guaranteed 15-18 hours of electricity daily. Sometimes, cheaper rent location doesn't always worth it considering other factors like transportation, power availability etc. So, it's best to consider change of accommodation to an area with stable power.

Indeed, kid yourself. Build your inverter based on your power consumption. Stop being petty. If you use ten flat screen TVS, twenty laptops, fifteen electronic copiers, there's an inverter capacity that can carry all these appliances all at once for the same number of days. Stop being petty

KreativGenius:



There's a working formular to ensure you know before you purchase an inverter for your home. First calculate the maximum power threshold/consumption, then calcuate the duration you need it per day, multiple it by the number of hours, then get a battery whose capacitance can hold this period, finally get a solar panel config that gives two times the daily power consumption within a day period. It is mathematically calculated out, except if you just jumped to the market. Grow up amigo !

It's called an inverter for a reason, not a power plant. Obviously the 150k inverter that powers your appliances for 3days does so on fan and television.

HITTED:



Why are you hyperventilating over a simple discussion. I don't think it's even an argument and you're already telling me to "grow up" and "stop being petty".

Anyway, I don't use inverter but a neighbour of mine does. He bought it last year, everything large size - batteries and inverter - hoping it would serve him longer than usual. I'm sure this guy spent over 300k. Unfortunately, this inverter didn't last more than 8 hours on first use because he used all the aforementioned electrical appliances. But when he stopped using them he started enjoying longer duration of the inverter's service, though he has the alternative of PHCN. This is a little bit past one year and his batteries are already due for replacement.

I don't know how it works for you but what I said is based on another man's experience.

HITTED:


I'm really curious to know which particular inverter can serve one for 3 days with all home appliances in full use.

Same here. Perhaps, if he tells us the brand and price with a picture of it in his house we'd believe him.

KreativGenius:



Sorry i limit my power consumption to the barest minimum so i'm wrong., i'll quote a quick setup in just a moment though

HITTED:

Ok, admittedly, inverter has its pros and cons. But can you tell us how long you've using yours and how it has served you so far and, if possible, give the prospective us a few pointers?

MoyosBlog123:
Sorry for derailing guys. Please can u just state areas with at least 15hours power supply daily. I just hope when we move to these areas PHCN won't start their nonsense again. ... I can't even boast of 2.5hours light daily where I stay.

KreativGenius:


Inverter plus solar panel. No need for light

ken2baba:
solar ain't cheap bro

In my opinion, any area with abt 95% of residents on prepaid meters are priority areas to the Power distribution companies.

KreativGenius:


Now this is the secret i keep explaining to folks.

Now, battery is the expensive piece, while the solar panel is relatively cheaper.

But we all need battery because they're the brain of the system. So i always recommend going for half the battery size you need and twice the solar panel size that should be used. This means, if you need let's say "2 " battery, and then " 4 " solar panel, then i advice going for " 1" battery and then " 8 " solar panel.


This implies if the rate of power generation is higher than the storage and consumption, excess power is generated. Suffice to say, a solar panel that stores charges even during dull weather works perfect because before the battery drains out, the next set of power is ready for fresh supply, so the supply has to be twice the rate of consumption. Unlike conventional strategy where people are advised to get bogus batteries which is always a pocket breaker.


Used mine now 12 months by the Grace of God !


If you list your apparatus, i can draw a quick sketch of your power needs and how to get it

HITTED:

Ok, I'll need to use my 42" flat screen, home theater (honestly, I don't know the watt but it's Tall Boy) a laptop, a small fridge, scratch AC - I can manage ceiling fan. Then I have a 300k budget. Can I work out something with that, and how much will it serve me?

KreativGenius:



Take out the AC, on a 350-400k budget, you can have good stuff it should serve 10 hours before discharge ! But with 400k,you're good !

HITTED:

LOL!
Alright then, I still have a little way up to go. I just hope it's worth it.

Thanks, man.

KreativGenius:


Trust me, you won't regret it !.


See when you're going for it, go for the 3000 Watts, if you need more secrets hit me up !


If properly managed, you can add more appliances

What's the life span of the batteries?

Air Force one. I am just twenty and I have my own apartment.(tastefully furnished). A better cellphone and is building my home. You don’t see me bragging about it.

There’s a fine line between being grateful and bragging. I use to think you were grateful to god and this was your way of showing it. But now I think you’re plain stupid. In your room and parkour selfcontain and a 30k tv in the lowest grade of fake Gucci wears

Being a young business man in today's Nigeria can be so challenging , especially with the way our electricity supply ha been reduced to ground zero leaving me with no other choice than to run my generator 24/7 to keep my business running.

Every month I spend over 42k (fourty two thousand naira) to fuel my generator and this kind of make working from home a little bit challenging.

But anyways , it is too late to fail Amen.
