Sun is a factor....I get less than 60% charge most of the time

Sorry about the sunlight not strong enough in your area, tho that doesn't make it a scam because sun is a factor in every solar powered device... we have good sunlight daily in my own area.
New price is
15,500 package

You have said it all
lolz that not all those pipu using it did not mention terms n conditions if u miss 10 days in a month the following month they will deduct the 10days money upon say u no use am ooo,to crown it all if u no sub for up to 2months mtn will retrieve it back so that means ur kit dan go,installation for it is 4k and it 150 if only paying the 1month sub at ago but if is daily it is 180 per day. it take about 12hours for fully charge so if no sun for few days that means u won't av up to 10percent ba3 n that 1 no concern mtn u must pay even if u travel n u no use am sef u must pay so u must have a deep pocket b4 u can maintain this gadget so once rainy period Dan start u won't enjoy it for like few months except u are using to charge ur fone n d led bulb my own review

Most vehicle batteries are "starter batteries". they are only used to give a very high current within a little time; of coz sufficient enough to start the vehicle. They are not meant to be deeply discharged and so once the car starts, the battery recharges back to 100% waiting for the next time it will be needed to start the engine again. Soooo, forget the truck batteries. moreover, from experience, buying a used battery and getting a good one is sheer luck. I don't advice that.

If ur concern is just the laptop, u can get a 500watt China inverter for abt 10k or get a 1000watt inverter for 13k (u can get it on jumia or local solar stores) if possible, buy the one that comes with an inbuilt charger so that when there is NEPA light, u can charge ur battery. if u intend to use the battery for the said 7days without charging it in between, then u need at least 200ah battery which I said earlier will cost u at least 85k. So obviously, u are on a 100k budget. if however u are gonna get power in between to charge ur battery, and you are on a tight budget, then look for abt 50ah battery which may be below 30k. With this, ur entire budget may just be abt 40k.

I think you should look for a 40ah battery for around 20-25k and a 1000 watts inverter with a built in 20amp charger for arnd 13k. a lower wattage inverter will still serve you. say a 500 or 300 watts inverter which may cost abt 8-10k. I think it's better you go for the 1000watts cos it allows for more gadgets and the difference in price ain't much. for the battery, you can go for 2 pcs of 18ah battery (36ah) at 8k each to save cost. if you still got cash to spare, go for a 16k 100watts China solar panel.

I don't really understand your question abt the inverter and generator. the inverter is meant to convert yr DC from battery, to AC so u can use yr appliances. let me assume you are asking abt charging the battery using tiger gen. Of coz, its possible to charge it using the inbuilt inverter charger but u go buy fuel tire be that. if u get some small phcn power, that will help. What is important is for you not to deeply deeply discharge the battery so that recharging it won't take long and battery lifespan gets extended as well. BTW, I am in Kaduna.

Re: A Sincere Review Of Mtn Lumos Solar Electricity by busayo2uk: 9:28pm On Mar 20, 2019
Everything noted by this writer is correct. i now have first hand experience.


error4040:


And why did you not mention this

1. You must pay for a minimum of 20 days in a
month or it will be taken away from you.
2. If you use it even for just one hour in a day,
you pay the full daily price.
3. It will cost you about N3,000 per month for
very limited power.
Now 4500

4. It is low capacity. With small sized TV, it will
run out in not more than 2-3 hours in the night,
may be better during the day. On days when it
rains and heavy cloud with little sunshine, you will
have no light, especially if you exhausted it the
previous night.
5. You will only stop paying after 5 years and by
then, the battery will probably be dead.
Paying outright it would cost N402,000.
If paying over 2 years it would be N447,000 over
the 2 year period.

6. This is just mindless money-making by MTN
and Lumos and I suspect that it will fail for lack of
patronage they may be force to increase their Price later on.

Nope! Inverters don't come with built-in batteries. Batteries are expensive. Infact, they are at the core of any inverter system. By the way, That inverter u posted comes with a built-in battery CHARGER and not battery itself.

Thank you so much.


I intend getting the inverter on the screenshot with x2 18ah batteries just for my laptop and phones.

And would I be needing anything else apart from 1kwatts inverter + x2 18ah batteries for the setup please? Charge controller isn't necessary right?

I don't need solar panel for now though.





Re: A Sincere Review Of Mtn Lumos Solar Electricity by solasola(m): 10:21am On Sep 19, 2019
So far, the basic truth that stands out is that many nigerians need power but want to get it as cheap as possible. That's not an easy task either.
For over Eight months now, I have have lived absolutely on DC lightening 24Hrs, can effectively charge my phones 24Hrs, 12hrs usage of a dc fan and run other moderately powered appliances for 3-4Hrs a day and the system still works. All for not more than 100k.
To achieve this, just think more on DC power usage and high power management especially if you are off-grid like me. Those around you would never understand how come but its simple science.
