lol, was once in your shoes. but I know it'll sound odd if I tell you that 50k will give 12hrs power daily for 24 months. the last time I bought fuel was 3 yrs ago. quote me for the secret.

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.

Looking at Alimosho

chronique:



Give me a sketch for this.

16 energy saving bulbs round the house
5 yellow bulbs at gate (not energy saving)
2 street lights (the large sized energy saving)
4 regular fans
3 industrial fans
2 freezers
26 energy saving bulbs

Just come to Egbe...ile iwe precisely

The light there is minimum of 18hrs warranty

Sharmeenator:


Egbe is for real. I have a friend who lives in Ile Owe. Sometimes he told me they do boat of 24hrs supply.

Alimosho don cast....their light isn't as good as before

Hey Guys,

Seeing this thread and being a solar energy person for close to 5 years now, I can confidently tell that nobody is solving Airforce 1 problem.

Firstly, Solar is the way to go, no doubt about that. However the real issue about going Solar is the upfront cost. Many of you keep talking about 300k to 400k, do you really think that is a small money.

Secondly, most system design advice I see here is wrong. Airforce1 needs either a 1KW of PV plus 2 units of deep cycle batteries (12v 200AH), a charge controller, a 1.5KVA inverter plus wirings, battery and roof rack, battery rack, labour and logistics -This is not a small money to buy outright.

Secondly, if he thinks this is too expensive, he can scale down on his load a little bit, and use a 500W of PV plus 1 unit of battery (12v 200AH), a 950VA inverter, charge controllers, plus wirings, battery rack, roof rack, and labour to get the job done.

Once he does any of the above, he can kiss his Gen and fuel cost good bye for the next 2 decades...sounds too good to be true but it is.

Now I can help provide a 24 months interest-free finance for the above projects. Its simple, see below:

For the 500W System
- 35% deposit of N156,450
- 24 monthly repayments of N12,106
Full price - N447k

For the 1KW System
-35% deposit of N312,550
-24 monthly repayments of N24,185
Full Price - 893k

All components come with at least a 2 Year warranty.

Secondly, if the above prices are still too high for you, take advantage of PAYG being offered by my company.
Here, you lease the solar system for a 5 year period by paying a small connection fee, the pay a fixed monthly fee every month for 60 months after which the system will be left for you.

500W system
- Connection fee - N67,500
-Monthly fee - N11,150

1KW System
-Connection fee - N135,000
-Monthly fee - N22,350

Whatever suits you here beats you spending over N40k monthly on power. Excluding the annoying noise and fume of a generator plus its maintenance + servicing cost and other minor wahala.

Nigerians need to wise up Pls. We all have internet, google solar financing companies in Nigeria.

I'm available to answer questions if anyone has.

Thanks

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.

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

Airforce1:
Increase electricity tariffs but give us light , No problem .

Lush100:


hi,
pls kindly give me ur advice, sketch & cost estimation.

I have a 1.4kva inverter (sine wave) made by TEC (thermacool (PZ) engineering company.
I think my batteries (2) are bad , I haven't used it for a while.

I want to get a solar set up.

my target is 1 200AH battery if my battery is bad.

solar panel say 3 or 4,

I intend to use only phones, rechargeable lamp rechargeable fan and 32 inch lg TV and decoder.
rechargeable lamp & fan, & phone in afternoon when solar set up is charging, and only TV & decoder , phones , lamp(when low) at night.

pls advice me,
(also any device to turn off discharge like towards evening e.g 4.30 pm in case I'm not home by then to avoid drain if there is issue with by-pass

Holmes07:

Ur energy need isnt much, a 400watts systems will just be sufficient for all wat u listed out. What u need are:
*Two 200watts panels (80k in total)
*40amps pwm charge controller(30k )
*Batteries of which u av buh since u're planning to get 200ah battery i'll advice u to do so it costs arnd 100k..
*inverter u av 1 already..
Call me on 07088602516 to help u with the installation, that's mah profession...

Lush100:


OK thanks,

what's the average duration of discharge for this set up,
also what type/make of battery u intend for the 100k.
I used TEC 200AH gel battery,
how can I know if its still okay before I sell it out.

HITTED:


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

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 !

KreativGenius:



[s]1. Standard rule, don't let the base of your battery rest on bare ground[/s]

2. Don't let it run down before you turn it off



Do this, and it's pronto !
