You can use Solar along side with PHCN and generator, not advisable to only use solar.

I use a 3.5kva in my office with 4 tubular batteries I notice that it works better when charged with electricity due to the load in my officr when the weather is fair then then am sure the batteries will last between 9am to about 4.30pm before we switch to generator however when there is electricity for few hours then we wnt have need for a generator
What appliances do you use with the inverter?

My brother, if have the resources to go for Solar please don't waste time. I have saved a lot of money since August 1 2023 they installed it for me in a 3 Bedroom flat (Rented). I spent 2.5m for installing Solar.

6 panels 550 watts (long Panel)

4 Tubular batteries 220Ah

5KVA Inverter

Circuit breaker

It powers

(1) Haier Termacool Deep Freezer 379 liters (inverter)

(2) Samsung double door Fridge (inverter)

3) LG washing machine 9 kg (inverter)

4) 240 kg Air frier not deep frier ooo ( we off everything when in use)

5) 43 inches LG televisions x2 that runs almost 24 hours

6) qasa electric iron 1,200 watts.

Since that August1, I have not on my generator

It starts charging from may be 8.30 am











Good afternoon sir. Please I need your honest review of the hair thermocool freezer. I have an inverter system and I want to get a freezer that do not consume much power and will be efficient in terms of cool.
Please what is the power consumption of your hair thermocool freezer, and it takes how many hours to cold or freeze.

Well!

I may not have the answer to this question because I'm not sure we have put off our cooling systems for more than 2 hours at a time ever.



Alright I think I’m gonna finally get one and use with my solar system

Yes it's called going off Grid. It's expensive to go off Grid but it's necessary with the way Nigeria is going because, everybody want to eat each other. So anything to avoid government will be cool.

An equivalent of 3000VA generator is 7m at the moment. Very expensive. Therefore, I suggest you use solar and nepa alone. Use 1.5m buy solar and back up with nepa.

Please, I read through to see if this question have been asked, surprisingly, it haven't.

Charging your inverter with PHCN light, won't it consume much units for those using prepaid?

What is mtn lumos?
nikaShow:



Yes, I have added pictures to the original post.

My one singular battery powers only my freezer.

The Mtn Lumos powers only bulbs and my phones and laptops. It used to power my Tv but after using it for 9 years 😂 , E no get that kind power again , and I don’t really need it to. I don’t watch Tv. It also powers a standing rechargeable fan though I seldom use it for it.


I also don’t own a generator. Never have.

When there’s light, I use the washing machine , blender and Micro wave.

I use a dry cleaner to ‘iron’ only.
Re: Guys Using Solar Energy Instead Of Nepa Or Gen. by Love800(m): 7:27am On Feb 20
Ok.
Is it the same inverter, nepa light charges?
PotatoSalad:

Inverter is needed to convert DC to AC.
Re: Guys Using Solar Energy Instead Of Nepa Or Gen. by Love800(m): 7:29am On Feb 20

ewizard1:

Inverter - A DC to AC equipment that converts DC power (Battery/Solar) to AC (Alternating current) power which is required by your home appliances to work.

Inverter AC(AirConditioner) / Freezers - Appliances that consumes lesser energy and thereby efficient to be powered by the (DC-AC) Inverter.
Re: Guys Using Solar Energy Instead Of Nepa Or Gen. by Love800(m): 7:31am On Feb 20
Tankz so much
franchasofficia:
inverter freezer and inverter ac are low energy consumption freezers and ACs manufactured to consume very low power to work. They are energy saving appliances mostly designed to work with solar/inverter power supply so it wont consume much of your solar battery energy.



They are usually costlier than normal freezers and ACs.

Thankz
safarifarms:
Rainy season has lots of days with low/poor sunlight. When the day is dull or cloudy solar energy will seriously reduce. If it rains, your panels may not supply energy at all.
Re: Guys Using Solar Energy Instead Of Nepa Or Gen. by Love800(m): 7:34am On Feb 20
Ok
Zealoy:
i dont know na the one i dey use i tell u so
Re: Guys Using Solar Energy Instead Of Nepa Or Gen. by Love800(m): 7:36am On Feb 20
Okay. So if u want to go into solar, u will go completely off-grid?
LOVEGINO:
I dey pay light bill. So it's of no use for now.
Re: Guys Using Solar Energy Instead Of Nepa Or Gen. by Love800(m): 7:36am On Feb 20
Okay
TheGift:


They are energy saving and don’t consume as much as the regular ACs and Freezers.
Re: Guys Using Solar Energy Instead Of Nepa Or Gen. by Love800(m): 7:44am On Feb 20
Ok.
But cant it power other appliances apart from only phones?
anu3:


Yes, to charge phones. But not very advisable. Just get a 7k charge controller...
Re: Guys Using Solar Energy Instead Of Nepa Or Gen. by Love800(m): 7:47am On Feb 20
Okay.
marksleek2584:
well, the installer said something about it depraciatng the battery cells faster...
Re: Guys Using Solar Energy Instead Of Nepa Or Gen. by Love800(m): 7:50am On Feb 20
I want to understand sumtin.
Do u have inverter?
Moneyboyz:


Last time I use nepa is 3 years ago.
Re: Guys Using Solar Energy Instead Of Nepa Or Gen. by Love800(m): 7:53am On Feb 20
Okay.

When going completely off Grid, do one still buy inverter?

Depends on your budget, you can start in this sequence :
1.Solar panel
2.Inverter
3. Batteries and charge controller

Nepa/solar/gen charges battery.
Job of the inverter is to invert the stored energy in the battery which is in DC to AC so that your appliances can use it.

na. Be using both.

It does, it draws your units and store them in the battery for emergency. Therefore, when Nepa takes light, you will be using the units in advance. Without Solar panels, what you are actually doing is storing Nepa in batteries for emergency use at your own cost.

I suggest inverter first, then battery, then solar.

Depends on the battery. Amaze battery is now 300k.

I bought Luminous.

How was it? Did you still have enough stored energy for nighttime use?
yes boss
