It's the best. I have got one installed in my place and since I work from home, I make use of it from 9 am to 4 pm. Once it's 4 pm, I switch it off and on it around 7 pm, watch movies from 7 to 10, off the tv, and make use of the Dc fan till the morning. It's the way to go. No government will do this for you

...and it's SUPER EASIER buying an INFERIROR LITHIUM battery I never mention the SUPER EXTRA care LITHIUM batteries need

ModCaller:


Dry cell lasts about a year, not 2 years. After 1 year, it will start draining very fast. What used to last for 10 hours will start lasting for 2 hours. The only advantage is that it doesn't need maintenance.

You should have bought wet cell battery for the same price. That one needs regular topping of distilled water

zeestone99:


The lifespan of lithium batteries are above 10 years

Owaincouncil:
And someone did for me same December here in Lagos at 2,050,000. (Two Million, fifty thousand naira only) though he use hybrid battery for me and 12 panels of 450watts each.

The same coy also did 7kva for my oga at 6.5m with 2 big lithium battery.

ModCaller:
Do not use dry cell battery. They do not last. Once it clocks 1 year, it will begin to drain extremely fast.

Use wet cell battery or lithium battery (if you can afford lithium battery). Wet cell needs regular topping of distilled water tho.

That 160k would have gotten you 220ah wet cell battery.

What you have can handle the FRIDGE, but I would ADVICE AGAINST using fridge on it so as to PROLONG the life of the BATTERIES.

If You must use the FRIDGE, and not put excess stress on the BATTERIES, I suggest you watch for when the Batteries are 100% full - some charge controllers have LED light indicators that indicates such.

If the time is before 4PM in the afternoon, you could connect the FRIDGE for 1 or more hours BUT ensure you disconnect latest 4PM so the batteries could reFILL before Night fall.

Meanwhile, that person shortChanged you on 300WATTS. Installers tend to prefer lower WATTs panels because of not just lower cost, but size. 300WATTs panels are often bigger in physical size.

with cost of things recently, those of us who got in earlier are very THANKful.

How long can one battery last?

Mynd44:
When you gobinverter, you have to buy appliances by the power ratings. Those 100 or 60 watts bulbs have to go. I use the 5 watts bulbs now

Inverter AC, Refrigerator and freezer.

I have about 5 fans all low energy(60 watts).

Even my microwave is inverter type so you don't drain all the power you have

Mynd44:


Flooded batteries
Batteries 140k each
