GerogeI:

Dolar gets very costly mainly when peeps want to use power at night, meaning they have to store it. Batteries are costly.

So if you can live with mearsly night power, you can have robust daytime power.
You need inverter and solar charge controller 100k, one or two car batteries 40k and as many solar panels as you can get. Buy used panels. The more the solar panels, the more the power, from 10 am to 5 pm. The car battery is just to act as base for the inverter and also to even out instantaneous variation in power production die to changes in sun's intensity. It can charge you phone at night, and provide lighting, but that's it.

Also, there are Chinese solar inverters that can work without batteries when the sun is reasonably bright. But they come in 2kw and 5kw capacities and would burn your whole budget.

Blaze14k:
That amount is too little unless you want to purchase solar generator. A good solar generator could cost you about 550k without panel. We also have solar gen of about 300k with panel that will last couple of hours when fully charged. But if you intend buying an invert it will cost you more,, let's say about 900k or more.

nihinlade:
My Guy 350k is too small.

What you can do to help your self, if you are not totally off grid (meaning that you still usually have power once in a while)

Buy Tubular Battery. One good Tubular Battery should be around 200k, find out how much now.

And buy a good inverter around of around 100k.

Use the remaining 50k to buy wire and run its own outlets and light points. You will still have some change from the 50k.

This is called an inverter system. Charge it with light and generator fully and it can take you 1 or 2 days before it needs recharge with those little appliances. It will reduce fuel consumption.

But you will still need to be recharging with generator if there is no light.

But if you want to stay away from generator for a long time. You need like another 400k to get solar panels and MPPT solar charger.

For example, I just switched on my Generator 3 days ago and that is the first time in 2 months. And it was because that day there was no sunshine and we still put laptop, TV, 4 lightbulbs, 2 fans etc on it.

Obviouslyblunt:
this will frustrate OP and he would be lucky to get up to 3hrs of battery life

Skillsnigeria:
Hmmm, you can start small and upgrade later. That's the beauty of solar

SK1SOLA:
Get a solar generator for 255,000
It will power a laptop, lights and a fan

louken:

Please can you talk more on this solar generator. What are the pros and cons?
Is it more preferable and efficient than the conventional battery inverter

providencia:


Where is the disaster coming from sir?

Nwaikpe:
Which one be solar generator again?



All these extreme wannabe engineers sef.

Topze:
It could be a fair start. But wouldn't power your devices for soo long.. Possibly 3-4 hours.. I set up mine for less to power one laptop, rechargeable fan and smaller gadgets and I can get up to 5 hours

Obviouslyblunt:
In the past this could give you let’s say two 150Ah batteries and a 1.5kva inverter , but now it can only buy one battery. I suggest you save more , let’s say up to 900k and you can buy two 200ah batteries and a 1.5 or 2kva inverter, you’ll save more to get solar panels separately after and for that I suggest saving up to 400k separately.

vowiski:


Recipie for disaster

beyondPen:


Please shed more light about how to upgrade

3kay945:


How does this work pls? Can it power 1/2 hp pump machine?

austenzydrm3:
Solar inverter and solar generator which is better

albert2512:


What location and how do I get it for instalment

Skillsnigeria:


If your money can't buy all the materials now, just get a good panel upto 600w or more and controller and install it with a small battery like 40ah. Power all your load from 9am to 6pm and off it. You can power only DC fan and bulb in the night. Later you can save and get a 200ah battery and remove the small 40ah you are using before. That's how I started my own, start small and upgrade as time goes. That's the beauty of solar power

qualitymart:


No it cannot

Don't waste your money on solar gen

Anabosee:
I just plan to buy solar and rechargeable fan 85k
Rechargeable bulb 5 each.

Recommend wetin fit power my tv and dstv only.

Good day guys,

I have 350k set aside for solar installation, and I intend to use it for 2 laptops, 2 Fans and my gadgets. That's all. I don't mind just a solar panel and one battery.

Kindly advise me if this is feasible. If yes, Where can I get this stuff. Thanks.

miqos02:
can you really get a good brand of. 1kv inverter at 100k ?
