jikaseo: Well, that might help improve your performance. Your freezer and other appliances should only be used during the day, you will have to reduce your "sun-down" loads to a max of 200w. If you are lucky not to have damaged your batteries your inverter should go off around 1 - 2am. In order to continuously power the load of over 600watts after sunlight till the next sun light you need a minimum of 10 220ah batteries. If you buy less than that be ready to replace your batteries in about 12 to 18 months. So my advice, power the heavy loads during the day and manage your load once it's sundown. Your current battery back up can only support a about 100w after sundown till the next sunlight. 2 Likes |

jikaseo: Tell us the power ratings of the gadgets you power. Whosoever advised you to power up a 5kva inverter with two 220ah battery needs flogging. You can only power about 300watts (total wattage of the appliances) with those batteries as your inverter will use up about 80watts doing nothing. My advice is you dispose those batteries and buy new ones atleast 4 batteries then double your panels. Ideally, you don't need more than a 1.7kva inverter. Plus don't you power bulbs, you need to factor in those things. In renewable energy, you energy supply is limited. Even common phone charger draws about 20watts. Get a proper energy audit done for proper advice. Those appliances you listed up there may consume about 400w in total and it's alot of power to be drawn from 2 tubular batteries. You will have just about 4 to 5 hours back up after sun down 6 Likes |

bereiweris: NO matter how power efficient your appliances are, 300k ain't going to cut it. Let's assume the bulbs are 5 watts each that's 75watts 3 standing fans @ 50watts each is 150watts Led TV 50watts Phone chargers @ 15 watts each is 60 watts Laptop charger 90watts Total + or - 450watts Lets assume it will run for 5 hours at night. That's 450 x 5 = 2250 watts You will need over 800k to achieve this. Anyone telling you otherwise is not being truthful Take note the calculations up there are just based on assumptions. It mignt be less or more it depends on the real wattage of the appliances 3 Likes |

Give it to the yorubas when it comes to telling their leaders the truth. Just quite unfortunate that a lot of comments on nairaland reeks of tribal sentiments. See the way they make it look like it's only the yoruba that is feeling the heat. Igbos need to get over the pain of election loss and stop playing the victim card. |

nairalanda1: I agree there has been significant increase in prices but not enough to trigger 1000% rise in cost of subsidy. When they are done milking the coffers through this subsidy, they will remove it and introduce paliatives for imaginary people. |

Olaide1295: Stop preaching demand and supply alone. There are so many factors that determines price. How has deregulation brought down price of diesel or kerosene. Every serious economies that wishes to grow subsidizes important sectors of their economies. Subisdy isn't a bad thing. The way they go about it in Nigeria should be questioned. Cost don't just jump by over 1000% in 6 to 9 months. 3 Likes 1 Share |

rinzaugustine: I really loved your comment but the last sentence is really not necessary and makes you sound silly. We don't really need to tribalize everything. Everyone, irrespective of tribe, is feeling the heat. Obi wouldn't have made Nigeria better it might have just deteriorated a little slower. Shey LP senators no carry join share the SUV Until we stop this stupid division among the masses, Nigeria will never be great. |

Braaad: I might be wrong, but I don't think anything is wrong with your batteries. Most of these battery packs are over rated capacity wise. Also, your batteries won't discharge 100%, cable loses etc. Plus your inverter is a large one, its self consumption will be great especially if it's transformer based. Get a meter to measure the total amps drawn from the battery banks to be sure. 1 Like |

oweniwe: Since it's for a charging station, you could have simply bought those car chargers and connect them directly to the batteries. I use it at home and trust me they are pretty fast. You didn't plan well. You don't need the inverter. You could have simply bought more panels. Well nothing spoil. Carry out your feasibility studies you might need to dispose the inverter to get more panels. |

isangjohnson: It should work just fine since there's grid supply to supplement it. The issue is whenever there's prolonged power outage it won't run over night. Plus you didn't state how many hours those gadgets would run after dark. You also need to be specific about the number of bulbs. |
Satellite TV Technology / Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by dacool1(m): 8:11pm On Nov 30, 2023 |
isangjohnson: It will work if grid supply will still be used but won't fly if it's totally off grid. In order for it to work off grid you need more panels. In real life, those PV won't supply more than 400+ watts on a very bright day. 1 Like |

Please electrical gurus, which should one factor when calculating how much back-up is needed,ie how long the batteries will operate, real power or apperent power of the loads? |

mrvitalis: Do you think there's a building I Nigeria that's not being taxed? What's LAND USE CHARGE for? All vehicles are being taxed through various means. You also forgot to account for the cost of collection of these taxes which will gulp about 15 to 25 per cent of the tax collected Taxation is not the problem. Accountability and judicious use of these generated funds is the bane of the societys growth. Finally, no country can tax itself into prosperity. Issuance of interest free credit plus the right set of monetary and fiscal policies with SECURITY is the only way out of this mess. |

mank1234: I disagree with your submission. Both transformer and transformerless inverters use transformers, just different kinds. The transformer based inverters uses low frequency transformers while the transformerless uses high frequency transformers. You can't have an inverter without a transformer. |
