I even bought 10mm abi 6mm for 1800 in arena per yard. This was when someone stole my conduit wiring in my compound
tziz:
How much didyu buy?
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by cyif2003(m): 9:33pm On Mar 06
Can I also use reckline wire
bassdow:
YES. That one that draw light fron NEPA pole directly into your compound. It's same wire NEPA cuts when you fail to pay them for darkNess. Those Omo Ibo shops along the street / road sells it. Just tell them you want to by made In Nigeria wire; and ask for the full bundle because they do have 2 sizes and most times, would try to sell to you the smaller bundle. Price am 17,000 naira or slightly lower
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by cyif2003(m): 6:02pm On Mar 06
Thanks I will just do as u have suggested. Also when u say nepa wire do u mean reckline wire( d black one)
bassdow:
to me, I suggest @cyif2003 first get the solar panels and charge controller. His only complain is they (mostly the wife + baby) now spend more time at home than before hence issue of NEPA is not morenow obvious.

No need getting another inverter or upgrading if their current system still serves them HENCE me suggestion to get the solar panels and charge contorller which costs between 50,000 naira to 100,000 naira depending on if it's used or new. That way, He doesn't spend unnecessarily.

The Solar panels + charge controller takes over the role of NEPA in life of the inverter. He saves the rest.

Should he spend all that budget now, he would end up repeating the system He already has which is small to begin with. He currently owns a 12v solar system; following the suggestions I see above means He would be repeating same thing again.

But by just getting the solar panels + charge controller, He's on his way to building a better upgraded system of either 24v or 36v or 48v .

Mind you, if not for the baby, madam wouldn't be on maternity leave hence the entire home leaves early in the morning and returns late at night/evening hence what they mostly need is Fan, lights, and a couple of others like phone charging, etc. Maternity leave no be forever; it's just for a while.

Once again, @cyif2003; you should buy:
2pcs of 400w / 450w / 500w solar panels (total of 200,000 naira or less),
a good MPPT charge controller (50,000 to 100,000 naira max)
1 bundle of NEPA wire (20,000 naira max) as PV cable

You continue using your current inverter and battery. Only think of changing the battery if after a while, you have valid reason(s) to. With the solar panels, the battery would mostly be used at NIGHT or during prolonged heavy rain else the Solar panels are the ones doing the heavy lifting.

Again, if you must buy a battery, look into going 24v or 48v which means you would have to also upgrade your inverter. A used 24v or 48v inverter would be much cheaper. Don't go and do 12v system twice abeg.

NB: There are lots of rubbish out there in the market. you're are less likely to buy them if you open your eyes + your're informed enough + spend better. For instance, a lot of inverters out there don't have quality copper coil. na mostly aluminium coil coated with copper and guess what; they're rarely as efficient as those with full copper.
Same with Lithium batteries sef. They just flood the market with those things while influencing buyers decision.

WOW! Really? Which model of Google Pixel is this?

Okkk
AyobamiOluwole:
Throw away that Tubular battery.

Suggestion:
CWORTH ENERGY 2.56kWH 12V Lithium = 400k
4 units of Africell 200watts = 160k
Powmr 60Amps MPPT controller = 125k
Solar Cable = 40k

Total = 725k
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by cyif2003(m): 12:03pm On Mar 06
I no dey do baby dedication oh. No money for dat. Well I am worried kus I spend nothing less dan 200k on fuel monthly... I will take ur advise .
bassdow:
for now, would suggest you keep a bulk of your money and not spend much.

Start by adding 2pcs of 350w or 2pcs of 400w or 1pcs of 600w MONO solar panels. Please go for halfCut if possible. Then also budget like 100,000 naira for good MPPT charge contorller.
Just the above 2 things are enough to change things; as during the day from 8am to 4pm, the solar panels keeps replenshing the battery. Most inverter's inbuilt battery charger ain't effective enough even with daily NEPA.

For now, don't bother anbout changing or adding more batteries. Do the above first and if after a while, you see a valid reason to consider the battery, let's know.

Keep rest of the money for the baby as you never know what emergencies might arise. Now is not time to go on spending spree.

You do naming ceremony, you no invite us, you come get wahala, you remember us. This life sha.

At night
2 led bulbs
1 celing fan
1 standing fan (this can be changed to a standing fan).
1 tv which will b turned off before midnight.
I want an all in one system (lithium battery and inverter in one) because I feel it's cheaper dan getting charge controller and inverter seperatly. I might b wrong.

Normally we go out in d morning and come back by 6pm Monday to Friday.
But madam is on maternity leave.

Please I don't need sometin dat will tear my pocket.
Budget is btw 600k to 800k

Pls advice
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by cyif2003(m): 9:06am On Mar 06
Good day. I currently using 1 USED tubular battery with a 900watts sukam inverter without a panel. And light nowadays hardly comes (like 2hrs light or more every 2days). I see myself depleting d battery most tyms.

I need a system that can be suitable for the following
1 60inch LED TV
One standing fan of 40watts and 1 celing fan. (Or 2 standing fans)
An l.g inverter fridge or deep freezer (either must be on during d day and will b switched off by 3 or 4pm)

It's a lie. I have cancelled so many trips even before getting to pick up. Nd I get refunded. D last one I even agued with Dem that I didn't get a full refunded. Na him Dem shoecme proof I just mute..

They never return it. Any cancelled trip on Indrive that you didn't get to pickup location and cancel with rider did not show, your money is gone.

Whether you cancelled or the rider cancelled. Those guys are scam

Ok thanks
bassdow:
that's if you bought noneSense. Another is, a 350w solar panel can not give you 350w. Even the best 600w solar panel can not give you 600w even if you wash it every minute and water cool it. Solar panels are not yet that efficient.

Now add the fact that dust and hot sun would have further reduced it's output.
