Let's examine the cost of a solar generator today.

(1)
Battery:
24V 200Ah LiFePO4 battery - US$1,200.
24*200 = 4.8kWh.

(2)
Charge Controller:
What capacity of charge controller is suitable for it?
A lifepo4 can be charged at between 0.3C to 1C.
So 0.3*200 = 60A.
A 24V 60A MPPT charge controller can be purchased for $125.

(3)
Solar Panels:
How many 320W solar panels are needed, for 5 hours of sunshine?
4.8kWh / 5h = 960W.
So we need 3 solar panels, 320W each.
Cost: N40k*3 = N120k

(4)
Inverter:
5.5kW 24V Pure Sinewave Inverter
N185k

Cost: $1200 + $125 + N120k + N185k.

At exchange rate of N380/$1, $1325 = N503,500.

Total: 503,500 + 120k + 185k = N808,500.

The battery can last 3,000 cycles, i.e. 8-10 years.

I laugh in Spanish... na your own price be that bah

Bros shey you know say professionals Dey here sha?

gogetter09:

Yep, that is my price. Care to comment?

Muyiwaipere:
Bros shey you know say professionals Dey here sha?

Yes I know professionals are here.
But your comment isn't saying anything.
Ask your question, so I can explain it to you.

What can 5kWh power?

LED bulbs - 12W
24" LED TV - 40W
Laptop - 45W
Fridge - 150W
Floor/Ceiling fans - 50W

If running everything together, it means they'd pull 317W.
So 5kWh/317W = 15h.

Of course, a fridge comes on/off. So it won't consume as much power. Likewise, it's unlikely all electronics/appliances would be running nonstop for 15hrs.
Also, LiFePO4 has DoD of 80%. That must be considered too.

You can easily do the calculation according to your unique situation.

My bluegate 5.5kva inverter I bought it 55k but brand new is around 200k first ..now it's around the same price or buy fairly used 55k
I use two luminous battery 200ah I bought them 120k each the inverter is 24bokts that's 240k plus 200k that's 440k if your area has light like one day off one day in you don't really need solar panel .because the battery must last you for sure 12 to 18 hrs depending on what you turn on.the inverter can power pumping machine ,deep freezer etc but you don't have to turn all at once .change all your bulb to energy saving bulbs,as for the solar panel ,fairly used panel 25k to charge the 24volts battery you need like 4 to 5 panel let's say 100k then you buy mttp solar charging control which is around 45k that's 145k for just the solar ..u pay someone to mount and connect the whole stuff for like 20k with abeg abeg or just budget 40k for installation that's roughly 200k for complete solar ..the advantage of solar is that during the day while the sun is hot you can easily pump water and run your deep freezer ...the more the panel the more the battery charge..it's like using your phone while you are charging it ..it would hardly decrease but small bar would add over time ..so total everything 640k for everything ..but if u minus the solar panel you should budget 400k ...note all this things you can buy them small small like be it took me like 3 years to have complete ..I first bought used solar battery from one company 40k I bought 2 that's 80k ,then I saved up and bought bluegate inverter with inbuilt charger I bought it from a guy 55k that's 130k,then I used it for like 2 years before adding solar panel because my area we must have light at least one day off ..so Na small small.its better u buy big inverter so that u know that one done comot ground ..#end police brutality

Good detailed post. Thanks for sharing.

>>>My bluegate 5.5kva inverter I bought it 55k but brand new is around 200k first ..now it's around the same price or buy fairly used 55k

Buying used is cheaper if you can get it. The risk of secondhand is higher of course.

>>>I use two luminous battery 200ah I bought them 120k each

I'm assuming your batteries are FLA/AGM? Which only has about 600 cycles?
Mine is 24V LiFePO4 (LFP). Gives about 3,000 cycles.
600 cycles means your batteries will last about 2yrs if cycled daily.
Mine, will last about 10 years. Even after 10 years, it would still have about 80% capacity left.

That means,
Cost per year for FLA = 240k/2 = N120k.
Cost per year for LFP = 456k/10 = N45.6k.
Do you see the huge difference in cost?

>>>if your area has light like one day off one day in you don't really need solar panel

That is true. However, can you guarantee there will be grid power every two days?
Also, can you guarantee that the rate of grid power (per kWh) won't one day surpass the rate from solar?
The kWh rate for solar will never change.
Unless you're renting your place, I see no reason not to get solar panels, if you can afford to.

>>>fairly used panel 25k

Where do you get fairly used panels from? I only see new panels being sold online.
How many watts panel sells for 25k?

>>>so total everything 640k for everything

No. Your calculation is totally wrong. Your setup is based on FLA batteries. Mine are based on LFP batteries.
