mctfopt: So I met him today to ask him about this question.... He said I should ask you if u have practically tried it...That you are talking theorically....though they are threshold where ur theories are true....But science has elvovle and it can be maneuvered. Big English though.. In my own opinion I believe anything is possible... Why? I once forgot to put off my frigde(medium deep freezer) which was connected to my 5000va stabilizer.....and my inverter which is 12v/1.2kva picked both of them...and was working fine for about 30seconds....I had to quickly turn them off. So I believe anything is possible... And theories can also be changed or maneuvered.(my opinion though) 1 Like |

ayokellany:Economical indeed...I'm frugal when it comes to inverter and this inverter brings out the frugality in me. Well I think its possible to have him in Lagos... He buys most of the raw materials he uses to build the inverter in Lagos...You would have to discuss that with him if need be. |
Re: Are Inverters Worth It? by mctfopt: 10:26pm On Jun 27, 2019 |
cute75: In this case, theory is same with practical. About your 1.2kva inverter handling a 5kva stabiliser is simple to explain. The 5kva inverter load may just be 10% of the rated 5kva since it's a medium deep freezer which should be about 400w. The stabilizer is not handling the full capacity of 5kva. Also a 1kva inverter can sometimes handle two times its rated capacity for short duration, say for not more than 60 seconds. It is called the surge or instantaneous power rating of the inverter. So, my friend, what you observed is electrically impossible. And I've got some experience on how some of these things work. Thank you. |

mctfopt: Bro I asked you if u have practicalized it....u're are still telling me you I've got experience.... I don't have experience in electricity but I know GOOGLE....which I found out that current can drop with an increase in resistance...I=V/R.....I will have to let go of this argument cause I myself have mathematically solve and practicalized some impossible theories in my field of expertise...Biko go google go do research....Thanks!

I used luminous 900 vac, leoch 100ah for over 4 years charging with ibedc and generator. I just bought solar panels(4×150watts @90K) and a 200ah mercury battery(90K). I got Y-branch connectors(6K) from ali express and 40amp pwm charge controller(7K) from ali express too. I used pumping machine cable for the wiring. It is a DIY connection. I got all information online especially on quora(download the app on playstore, register and post your questions. Answers will come from experts from all over the world). PS: To experts and installers in the house, why is my solar charge controller reading fluctuating between 0.2 and 4.5? I have installed only 3 of the panels in parallel; i expect at least 8amps from each to total 24 but i am getting only 4.5 max. I have asked questions ad realised i did all as i ought. I am being told i should change cable(wire) to 6awg because of distance(5m from panel to wall, 8m up and another 10m to charge controller; total being about 25m). The recommeded 6awg cable is sold 75K at alaba, lagos. I cant afford that now. But i see people use the type of wire i used(1.5mm ie 12awg) successfully. Anyone with suggestion? Thanks 1 Like

With your budget, i will suggest luminous inverter 900vac or 1.5vac(kva) and mercury battery(90K on june 30) contact mercury direct to order online. It is sold 83K and shipment is 3K. I only discovered the site after i bought my battery. I must say you will need at least a 150watt solar panel with it to eliminate nepa/genarator. These things are not as expensive as people make them if you get it direct without all these middlemen installers. Just buy and pay installation cost. Mine was DIY after extensive reading online. PS: i do not know if this post violates rule 6 of nairaland. I am not a courier for any business/ organisation, i am only helping out someone solve a problem. Thanks |

Pharmtj: Pharmtj: It will do the work perfectly well. And you can do the installation if you know a little bit about electricity and/or are willing to learn. |

Meklex: It depends on your need in term of loads you want to carry, your budget etc. There are solar shops around that can help with your design and installation but if you want DIY, it involves a bit of tweaking and technical knowledge. Basic components for a solar setup are; -Inverter -Solar Panel -Solar Charge Controller -Battery It now depends on the scale of your setup to meet your consumption needs. |
Re: Are Inverters Worth It? by Meklex(m): 6:37am On Jul 05, 2019 |
tosinet:I asked o. And they quoted 350k for a 1kva inverter and 200ah battery with three 150w solar panels and other things. I just want to power my regular standing fan, phone, laptop and bulb. |
Re: Are Inverters Worth It? by tosinet(m): 8:09am On Jul 05, 2019 |
[code][/code] Meklex: You can go for a DIY by acquiring the components yourself and get an installer to install for you. If your load is not more than; -Normal standing fan not industrial fan -Laptop -energy saving bulbs i.e white bulbs A 500w Solar inverter will carry the load but you can go for a 1000w Solar inverter incase u want to add led tv, decoder or other devices. 500w Solar inverter 6-7k 1000w inverter 12-15k Solar Charge Controller 30-50A- (3k-7k) You can get the two items cheaper on aliexpress website. Then you need solar panel for charging your battery unless you have another source to charge your battery. For 100ah battery you need 250-300w solar panel while you need 400-450w for 200ah battery. It will determine how fast your battery will charge. Also, having solar panel ensures you have power throughout the day while your battery will power your need in the night. Depending on your location, for instance if you’re close to alaba in Lagos, components are cheaper. 100ah battery Used- 20k+/- New- 35k+/- 200ah battery Used- 40k +/- New- 75k +/- 300w solar panel- 40k-70k 250w 35k-60k 200w 28k-50k 150w 20k-30k So components depend on your location and quantity you are buying. 2 Likes |

tosinet: This inverter you are quoting 7k, is it modified sinewave inverter? If it is....then its not safe for some electronics, I have seen nairalanders complaining about their electronics getting bad because of modified sinewave inverters. I will advice you do a proper research before recommending modified sinewave inverter. |
Re: Are Inverters Worth It? by Deicide: 11:36pm On Jul 07, 2019 |
My own question is that do this things have expiring date? And how long do they last? |
Re: Are Inverters Worth It? by tosinet(m): 8:57am On Jul 08, 2019 |
cute75: Please don’t misquote me...I never said the 7k inverter or modified sine wave inverter is good for all electronics or appliances. Modified sine wave inverters which are much more cheaper than pure sine wave inverters are perfectly safe for devices that uses “dc current” like laptop, decoders, rechargeable devices etc. It is also safe for led tvs as they have inbuilt diodes and capacitors that convert AC current to DC current. So if you are powering devices like led tv, decoder, game console, energy saving bulbs, rechargeable fan, laptop etc. Its perfectly safe to use modified sine wave inverters. Note I also said dc appliances like iron, blender, cooker, freezer, air conditioners, water pump etc. are now available in the market and it’s interesting to know that these devices are connected directly to the battery and not through an inverter. For those with available resources that want to power “AC appliances” they already own with an inverter, you have to use a type of inverter called pure sine wave inverter. They can safely power AC and DC appliances. There are inexhaustible information about renewable energy usage online and new infos come up everyday to change the way we view and use energy. 1 Like |

Deicide: Most solar panels have a warranty of not less than 20 years so if there cells are not physically damaged then you are good to go. Good batteries will last you a minimum of three years after which they have to be replaced. Ensure you use charge controllers to avoid over discharging your batteries. Inverters have to be used with a bit of calculations so as not to damage them. First you have to know the total wattage of the devices and appliances you want them to power, then you should note the inverter’s peak power to help you know if they can power your appliances with surge power. Appliances like fridge, freezer, air conditioner, water pump etc. will draw a lot of power when starting up before settling down to their specified watt usage. 1 Like |

tosinet:I am very sorry to have Mosquito you...But experience they say is the best teacher....I have been to other nairaland post and I have seen first hand, people complaining bitterly about Modified inverters ......I know it is okay for DC appliance like DC fans , laptop and chargers. But it dangerous for AC appliances like AC fans and TVs....A lot of us has little experience about these fact...That's why I threw more light on MODIFIED INVERTERS....once more I'm very very sorry for mosquitoing you. 1 Like
