Yes, This is very much like it. Your Batteries and Solar are well matched with the Load.
You can get a programmable timer for the Fridge on from 11 and off by 3 or as observed.

OK, thanks a lot, I appreciate

What's the wattage of the fridge?
Be sure that the hybrid inverter is able to provide enough surge to start the fridge

The fridge is 120w while the washing machine is 240w. According to the website, the 1.5kva inverter can take a surge which is twice it's capacity for 5 seconds

Good morning house. I want to buy a Mercury 1.5kva hybrid inverter, a single 220ah battery and two 420w solar panels.

Will this setup be OK for charging of phones and laptop, one fan and a fridge (the fridge will be on for maybe 2 hours in the daytime during float charge)?

More importantly, kindly let me know the other things I will need to buy along with the inverter like surge protector, wires, etc and I will appreciate if the amount for each of them can also be put along with it. Thanks

I am using mecury tubular batteries 220ah.

Dats nice, that's the one I am planning on buying. Thanks

samnaija:
You spoke well . I don't know why some people are hell bent or having sleepness night over lead acid.

The truth it is cheaper and serves its purpose. I have been using tubular batteries for 4years plus and no issues. Majority of people are on tubular for one reason it is affordable and carries its weight.



You go to an average Nigerian home it is lead acid, it serves its purpose especially in this difficult times. Am sure I will keep running my tubular till a different technology apart from lithium comes along. (Likely get another 5 to 6 years from those bad ass batteries).

Likely then, i will jump on that one, then those that are currently on lithium i will castigate them also . And ask the question wetin you still they do with lithium....... technology has phases .

Good morning, which brand of battery are you using?

How much for this Yohako 1.5kva system?

Nteogwuija:
The battery was 255,000, 1.5kva inverter was 215,000.

These are Port Harcourt prices, might be cheaper else where.

I use a 580w Jinko panel to power the ba3. And I make sure I don't use the ba3 below 50% before the next recharge.

So when there's no assurance of NEPA light at night, I only use lighting points when necessary, my inverter fan and charging of phone and laptop.

NB: I can use the table top fridge and the washing machine together, but I don't do that because it's just one ba3. So if I'm using one, the other has to be off. However, in the afternoon when there's sun, the 55w fridge can be on alongside the 43inch TV, decoder, and home theater. All these combined only amount to about 20% load on the inverter.

And I do this only when the charge controller shows a float charge.

Thanks a lot. With this your setup, you are able to have light basically 24 hours ba, especially all thru the night for fan and charging of laptop/phone?

Nteogwuija:
My 1050kva got affected by lightening and then I bought a 1.5kva 12v. I use it on a 220ah battery. It powers my 105w deep freezer and my 55w table top fridge.

It also powers the 8kg top loader washing machine of 360w.

However, I only run the 55w fridge in the afternoon when there's sun, so I don't stress the battery. The 105w freezer is connected to the mains directly, cut out from the inverter line.

That's how I've been using mine. Both battery and inverter are Su-kam's.

Ok, thanks for the information. The installer I asked advised me not to use either of them until I have at least two batteries. That means I can run the fridge and washing machine on the single battery then.

How much did you get the battery and the inverter?

Also, how many panels do you use?

adekhingz:
How much did you pay last year when you applied online yourself?

Can't really remember, it was probably around 35k or so, cus they added livestreaming fees to it

Obnoxious2001:
It's okay.
How many batteries are you planning to use

I actually wanted to get mercury 2.4kva hybrid inverter and two batteries but I don't have the funds for that.

So, I decided to get a 1.6kva 12v inverter and get a single battery, just for light and charging of laptop. I will get another battery when I have more money, dats when I plan to start using fridge and washing machine on it

Good morning house, is mopower a good brand? Will their 1.6kva 12v inverter carry fridge and washing machine (not at the same time though)?

sammyenergy:
I went to Ikoyi for enquiry and after I was told all the requirements, I was also told that the fee is 55k.

Can someone please advice me on what to do, because I feel the fee is quite much with the trend I see here.

Thanks

Just apply online. I did mine last year and it was very smooth and easy

Good evening house, is mopower a good brand? Will their 1.6kva 12v inverter carry fridge and washing machine (not at the same time though)?

icjunior:
I think we almost have same appliances/mode of their usage.

The 2*550w panels are fine.
Cos I use 2*475w panels.
I also use a 2.5kva inverter (smarten)
And 2*220ah batteries.

Now what I'm not sure is if mercury is a good good brand.

I don't stay home,leave in the morning to return in the evening,so what I do is use a timer socket to put my inverter fridge(<150w) on during peak sunlight and when I'm back I almost have a full battery that would allow me use the fan and a little of TV before sleeping plus 3hrs more for the fridge.

I even iron in the morning, just a shirt anyways and my battery is always not below 23.8v - 24v every morning.

I don't iron everyday o.
I do it mostly on weekends,when there's sunlight ofcourse.🤣

Thanks so much for your response, how has the Smarten inverter been serving you? Is it a good brand? Also, is it hybrid?

You mean that when you get home in the night, you are still able to put on your fridge for 3 hours?

I never knew 2.5kva inverter can take iron, I was advised not to use iron, dats good news for me.

Which brand of battery and solar panel are you using?

Parser:
Yes. From 8 to 6pm but advisable to get at least a small battery backup, say 1kwh.

But you have to over panel it. Cause most of the energy would be coming from the panel. Like if you have a 3.5kwh inverter & Ur load is 1kwh, you could use between a 1.5-2kwh array or more if your budget can allow. Advisable to get the datasheet of the hybrid inverter so you know how you would properly configure it with the solar- taking input voltage and current & power--- series connection.

Second, you put a DC breaker btwn the array and inverter and transient protector between the inverter and NEPA( u know how NEPA light dey fluctuate) or don't even use Nepa at all and earthening of the inverter or a thunder arrestor on the array.

E.g. If inverter can take array of 500V input, current say 80A and you have each of your array can dissipate 42V, 13A. You have a load of 2Kw. You can use a 4 to 6kw array by connecting your array in series to give like 420v at 13A around 5kw in a perfect scenario ignoring loses. And use a DC breaker that can take 500V and the current.

Thanks so much for your response, I appreciate

Good morning all. I want to get an inverter. I have a 32 inch smart TV
one standing fan of abt 75w
a 120w fridge
Washing machine of about 240w
Two laptops to charge


The fridge will only be on for maybe a few hours during the day to ensure that my foodstuff don't get spoilt. The washing machine will only be used once a week (mostly during the weekend). The TV will be used mostly maybe 2 hours in the evenings on weekdays and then maybe a bit more during the weekend

So, the main things that I will be using it very consistently for is keeping my laptop charged anytime of the day cus I use it to work a lot while also being able to keep my stuff in the fridge from spoiling

I want to get a 2.5kva hybrid inverter (looking at Mercury inverter which is 406k but I will also appreciate any advice on a very reliable brand that may be cheaper)

I was advised to get two tubular batteries of 220ah (which I have also seen from mercury, 360k but I will also appreciate any advice on a reliable cheaper option)

I initially wanted to get two 550w jinko panels from foauni for a start with a plan to upgrade to more panels but an installer told me that they will not be enough, that I need at least three panels. Pls, is this true?

Please, I will appreciate expert advice from as many persons as possible. Thanks

Parser:
Why not go for a 3.5KW SMS sunmate hybrid inverter. Probably with a 2Kwh battery bank. And and let's say a 1.5KW or 2Kw solar array. Might be best value for money as you can expand.

Other perks: DC breaker, transient protector.

The hybrid inverter comes with it's cc. Cost around 350K.

Like play like play 850 don go, except prolly u go do without battery...just dey flex am for day time. Keep in mind, it is better to do DIY that you can easily expand on without selling parts.

Open to corrections.
All the best.

Good morning, if I buy a hybrid inverter, I can use it without any battery? If yes, can you please explain more how it works. How long can it last during the day?

I did mine last year completely online and I had no issues. Do not be scared to apply for yours online

Penuelseun:
Yes, I use mine to power a 150w fridge and 11kg washing machine. 1.2kva inverter with 100ah battery

OK, thanks a lot

Good morning, can I use a 120w fridge and 240w washing machine on a 1.6kva inverter? I won't be using them at the same time

durodee:
I got a Yohako a few months back on an emergency basis. doing fine so far. I however have an habit of not stressing my inverters pass 50% of rated capacity on daily usage. its still early days yet to comment on the components surviving wear and tear

Good morning. Pls, how many kva did you buy? Also, is it hybrid or the normal one? Lastly, do you know if it can take fridge and washing machine?

earthrealm:
you have a point,
however i have seen several dumb yphako inverters/charge controllers.
foolish inverters without editable charge voltage settings and proper smart battery type switch useless or non existent LVD & HVD settings......... in this day and age, how can a company make such products?. luminous and mecury are also fond of this poor design philosophy issh

OK, I want a hybrid inverter, which product would you advise I go for?
i also saw a yohako charge controller, same issue-- it just has low and high for battery type, ,
until they wake up and start producing smart user friendly products...i will continue rating them low..

Any company still making products with such poor designs is not serious...
Luminous, mecury, yohako, etc are on this table

OK, thanks, which product would you advise I go for? I want an inverter that can take my 138l fridge and my nexus 5.5kg washing machine. Was thinking of going for a 2.5kva hybrid inverter

The reason why I was considering mercury is because they are the only ones I have seen offering installmental payment. I don't have the money to pay for everything at once

Thanks for your reply. So, I can go for the Yohako? How about Mercury hybrid inverter, does it have a specific problem?

Obnoxious2001:
What criteria do we use to define a good inverter and cc?


Both yohako and felicity are both Chinese.
Felicity is beating yohako in terms of packaging and organisations.

Na the same people.
I don't see any difference between this two products.

Thanks for your response. I spoke about Yohako because my brother is an inverter installer. He told me that he used Yohako for some years that it is a good product. I dont really know much about it. I assumed that Mercury inverters are good because of the brand name. Ok, I will look at the ones you mentioned

earthrealm:
yohako isnt among the good inverters...also mecury.

why not get growatt or felicity hybrids...or even powmr or sorotec. those hv a decent track record

Good morning, I want to get an inverter. I have an option of getting a Yohako 2.5kva hybrid inverter or a mercury 2.4kva hybrid inverter. Which would you advise I go for? The mercury is much more expensive at 398k while the yohako, I saw it on jiji for 230k.

Is the yohako a good product? Are the potential benefits of the mercury worth buying it over the yohako?

Lastly, are hybrid inverters worth it or I should just go for a normal pure sine wave inverter?
