Good morning house. Due to the situation of the country and how electricity seems to be declining as the day goes by. I was thinking of opting for solar energy, I would like to know what's the best package 1 million naira can possibly get. Like a total breakdown would be much appreciated. Thanks in anticipation

Drop a Break down your load..
Irrespective of your load, the cheapest package you can go for will cost you between 750-850k.

The package will include
a mppt controller, 100A lithium battery, a unit of solar (440w) ,wires installation etc.
It will include

ok thank you sir. The items I would love to cover are atleast a 42 inch TV, a mini fridge, an inverter 1.5hp ac, 2 fans, a PS4, a few bulb lights and dstv. It's pretty much all the items I use that requires electricity. Thanks in anticipation

Your load Na Wetin big man dey use .
That 1m budget, can only manage to provide power for the tv, light, DStv and fan (I want to assume the fan is not ox because wahala go dey)

ahh nawa so how much go fit over all these listed items boss? Yeah one ox fan and normal fan

You are looking at 4.5m up

You wan power ac with 1m solar system?
What do you think 1 million can buy in the market now,
Even a 1.5hp inverter ax brand new is close to 600k

ok sir.

1m for all those loads? Dey play o.

Oga mi, listen closely. There's a solar energy thread here. Go there and ask the pros your question. Here's the thread- https://www.nairaland.com/390522/solar-energy-complement-fta/1864#133208315

Secondly, you can definitely get something great for 1 million. But if you can, double the funds at least. Let's say you have 2 million, you can get 5kwh battery from Valto for around 1 million, get 5 550w Jinko battery from Fouani for like 125kk apiece and then get a satchet inverter. Then there's installation, wires and everything else and all should cost 2 million or less.
But I am an amateur at this. So, go to the solar energy thread and let the experts advise you.

Call me for a reasonable package.

Bros you wan make me laff tire. Ac for 1 million naira Kole possible.

Go for this:

2 tubular batteries= roughly 530 to 560k

1.5kva or 2kva inverter: roughly 180 to 350k

Mppt 45 or 60A controller: roughly 130 to 230k.

Solar panels 400w: roughly 80 to 120k ( you'll need at least 4 to 6 of them for a start) although you can get used ones at a slightly lower price.

Solar wire: depending on your type of building, but keep around 40 to 80k depending on the meters.

Panel rails: roughly 30k

Workmanship: you budget from 80 to 180k depending on who would install it.

You would have to change some bulbs in your house to 3 watts bulb or 5 watts bulb, but i would advice AKT 3 watts bulb. Also, you can't use your AC with it, unless you plan to kill your battery on time.
Alternatively, if you can go for 3.5kva of the inverter and increase your panels to say 8 or 10, then during peak sunny hours, you can put on your AC.

appreciate your input sir but it's important to note, it's an inverter 1.5hp ac but regardless do you have a price summary that would carry my ac without bulging, I'm willing to increase the budget should the need be

Inverter AC still consume just that it isn't as high as the normal AC. Do note that this is you providing power for yourself, so it can't be compared to normal PHCN, what that means is that, you can't run your AC during off sun hours. If you want to truly enjoy your inverter, you would only run your AC during sunny hours, say 10am( if it is sunny by that time) to like 3pm. If I would really advise you, i would say 12pm to 3pm or 4pm, that way the remaining hour of sunshine would recharge the battery again before the sun go down. But, that would involve bigger Panels, you could go for Jinko 550w panels or 600w panels and in that case, you would need about 8 to 14 of them, each of that panel cost about 125k to 150k depending on where you're buying it from, you would also need a 5kva inverter ( i would have advised 7.5kva for future appliances), 5kva should be around 580 to 750k depending on the product ( go for Felicity or Growatts transformer type inverter).

You'll need 4 to 8 tubular batteries(same price as before, just multiply it by the number of batteries) depending on your budget or 10kwh to 15kwh of lithium battery. You'll need 120A controller or 2 x 60A controller, you'll also need 225A surge for both battery and panels ( that should be around 50kper one for a quality surge). Then the panel rails would be roughly around 60k. Labour would also go up, you should budget around 160 to 250k or even 300k depending on the installer and your type of building.

On a minimal level:
3.5kva 48v transformer base inverter: around 480 to 650k

4 tubular batteries: around 1.1m

550w panels x 8: roughly 1m

120a Controller : 280k

Surge x2 : 60k

Rails: 44 to 50k

Wire: depend on the distance from your roof to where you plan to keep the inverter (you could spend upto 300k or more on wire, and you could also spend say 30 to 60k, like i said, it depends on the distance)

Workmanship: 150 to 250k

Remember, your AC can run in the evening but i wouldn't advise that because it would quickly kill your batteries.
