So what's the power output of a unit of the solar panel?

A solar panel just convert the solar energy, you need other associated accessories which might even be more expensive.

Besides, solar panels that can comfortably power an average home with 2 AC, Fridge, and few low power consuming equipment can't be less than 500k.

Yes, I said it.

Tareq1105:



There are many of them.

You be BMC but this your post make sense.

When MTN brought their own solar thingy, I laughed because I am in the system and I know that that MTN solar box and panel can't power much.


Kuku buy your own inverter and have rest of mind. Any solar setup of that N144k will be less than 2kva capacity.

gaddafe:


But have you used it before? Do you know that, that panel has an expiry date usually 2-5 years depending on the type of panel you bought. Now this is apart from battery replacement and others. By the time you calculate what you have spent for two or three years and compare it with when you use fuel generator, the difference will be clear

Officialgarri:
I still don't know why Africa is still getting deceived that Solar is the way for for Electricity just because we have abundance of sunlight.

Any deep thinker and non conformist will realize that it's all a scam

Solar should be the most expensive source of electricity

KaluwisxPRO:
For us to know the Efficiency of the program, Government buildings and parastatals should be taken off the National grid to test the efficiency of their solar program, after all they are trying to convince an average Nigerian that solar is better, they should do so by examples.

Our street lights need to be taken off Diesel engines as well as the National grid, when the general population see how efficient solar systems are, they will embrace the program.

Are you talking about subsidy? Because the cost of single items like battery and even inverter (pure sine wave inverter) can be more that N144 000. Except you don't intend to run inductive loads like compressors and ac fans.

You are just arguing blindly.

The 'solar unit' has not been expounded. Do you know the capacity of the unit?

Do you know the quality (trust Nigerian project execution with quality)?

Wait until you see the manure that will be supplied.

CoolAmbience:



People still do not appreciate that, despite the setbacks of insecurity, this remains one of Nigeria's best administrations.

There are local solar panel manufacturers in Nigeria.

Perhaps a few of them.

God punish

wirinet:

False. Original solar panels has an optimal service life of 25 years ( depending on how it is installed). The weakest link of solar installation is the battery. Trojan Deep cycle lead acid batteries can last up to 10 years if not cycled beyond 50% regularly, but it can cost up to N250,000 each for 200ah. Good Indian batteries can cost between N150,000 to N180,000. While chinko batteries is about N120,000. Chino batteries would last an average of 6 month to 18 months depending on cycling percentage.
US inverters like Xantrex can cost up to N500,000 for pure sine wave inverters but they can last up to 10 years without problem. C[b]hinco inverters can catch fire if you overload i[/b]t.

5th University off the grid.

CalmElder:
Why can't they hands off electrical power like they did for telecommunications?
Involving several power companies will provide jobs, encourage competition, enhance efficiency and benefit the economy, especially if local companies are granted licences.
Selling PHCN will create a positive impact on the economy in several ways.

144,000 per unit ke? Ordinary a good 200ah deep cycle cost more than N144,000, before we even start talking about the inverters, charge controller, solar panels and accessories, and then cost of installation

Maybe the solar set up is just for charging phone and running a few lights.

erico2k2:

You guys need to learn B4 yah post, what do you understand by the simple word HYBRID?
If the grammar is too big 4 you think of Hybrid cars? do they use Petrol/Diesel or not even though they use electricity?

The major players will lose money, but we will get there soon, At my house, we get electricity every day now since we got Prepaid metre cos once our transformer blew up we ignored them for a month

plaindealer:



You mean solar is not involved or it can not go off grid because it's labeled hybrid even though you saw solar panels and batteries in the pictures?

One thing I hate about NL is ignorant and unintelligent people quoting me with their ignorant nonsense.

CalmElder:





How will the major players lose money. What will be the cause?
I'm curious.

erico2k2:

Pls re-read what I wrote I used the word HYBRID.YOu are an extreme case of an Ignorant person and you still refuse to learn which even more worrisome.let me school you a bit a HYBRID system of anything means it has multiple sources of Energy derivatives.In this case this system charges itself By
1 Solar panel
2 national Grid
3 can be added Wind Energy.
if something charges itself with national Grid how do you term such as Off-grid or are you confused by this lame Englis Off-grid?

I even went further to use the Electric car and Hybrid car as a simple example where the electric car is plugged into Electricity to recharge whilst the Hybrid car can be plugged and uses fuel to drive and whilst driving charges itself that is why hybrid cars are not called Electric cars
Now after all these you still don't get it then Im done!

Can this solar installation go off grid. Yes or No?
