Dondave11:
hahaha... I WON THE GAME

Nice one, that's what's up!!

Dondave11 is the winner!!! hmm nightcrawler, 2:30am, nice!

I will follow you, please follow back so i can send it to you today.

Thank you all for participating in this fun game and please do vote for refiner

Thanks guys for showing refiner support.

I will redem this pledge anyday there is a winner.

Okay, so we all know that the lovely refiner is participating in the miss nairaland contest.

She is cute, she is petite and she kinda crazy

All in all, I think she makes a great addition to an exciting pool of unique candidates running for miss nairaland.

So this game is borrowed and simple in its design to get nairalanders more conscious of this particular participant.

The game goes thus, be the first person to spell out refiner using individual post for the individual letters in her name, without interruption from other participants.

Example: if ur first post is "R" and someone interrupts you by posting, then you'd have to start all over again, until you spell refiner without interruption.

Good luck!

Winner gets N500 airtime on any network to call their loved ones.

when a broke nigggah wants u (waaants u babe)

and ur nigggah does everything for ya (everything)

ooo ooooh these hooooes are loyal

they ain't playing games, nooo ooh

these hooooes are loyal (yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)

when ciroc in the system...

Can I buy the inverter with one battery my load is not much,as I am hardly at home. Wts d total cost. Can @ 110k do that

what is the highest instantaneous combined load that you intend to run

bigtt76:
Nice one but how do you split the load amongst both power source? Getting interesting

Well, the splitting is done automatically so to speak.

The best way i can describe it is like having T-branch pipe with flows from the bottom to the left and right and from the left to the right.

https://thumb101.shutterstock.com/display_pic_with_logo/370600/218664073/stock-photo-the-letter-t-created-out-of-multiple-pieces-of-plastic-drain-pipe-218664073.jpg


In the T-branch pipe above, lets say your inverter is requesting current on the branch on the right (right upper part of the T), your batteries are sending in current from the branch on the left(left upper part of the T) and your solar panels are sending in current from the branch at the bottom (tail of the T).

Now, when the solar current (like water) comes in from the branch at the bottom, it's tendency is to flow into the battery branch on the left to charge the batteries.

Now once you load your inverter, the inverter makes a request for current from the battery, but since current is already flowing in from the solar panel at the bottom branch, the inverter makes use of this current flowing in from the bottom with whatever additional current from the left branch (battery) that it needs to complete it's current request.

So if your inverter on the right side requests for 10amps and your solar is already flowing in 2 amps from the bottom pipe into the inverter, your batteries would need to flow the remaining 8amps into the right side. The so called switching is based on the need of the inverter. If the inverter needs current, it will take it first from solar panels then the rest from the battery.

obviously this is an over simplification.

adeaks:
But 273k is something else o.

Can 100k get someone a reasonable inverter for just a mini flat?

of course you can, but what do you want to use it for

That's always the major question.

Do you want to just be able to power low power consuming devices like phones, laptops, fans and so on

Are you willing to load shed That is, for instance you give yourself a 100Watt instantaneous power limit. So if your fan consumes, 40watts, your laptop consumes 50watts, your lights consume 60watts, then with your load shedding limit of 100W, you may say "let me run just the laptop and the fan (90watts), of just the lights and the fan(100watts)" and so on.

You can decide to run heavier loads on your budget, but that would kill the battery fast as batteries have "sweet spots" on their discharge curve that you want to always be in. Deviation from this curve and Peukert's law for battery capacity depreciation starts to come into effect; meaning in general, less battery life and sometimes battery damage.

So in short, yes, you can get an inverter battery system for your budget, but you must be fully aware of what your limitations are in order for that to be seen as a good investment in retrospect when looking back after a while.

bigtt76:
Nice one. Please can you share with us the circuit diagram showing how you connected yours? I want to know if the solar panels supply your house during the day and cut over to batteries during the night.

Usual connection is to draw power from the battery all day which to me kills the batteries prematurely. A y thought here would be appreciated.

It's kindoff a simple process and wiring diagrams are available all over the net.

It's not like only solar works at a time and only the batteries work at another time, well except for night time when solar power is 0.

Now, lets say it's 2pm in the afternoon and your solar panels are producing 400watts and you want to power something that only uses 100watts, what happens is that 100watts of that power is forced to your inverter to run your load, while the remaining 300watts charges your battery.

Now, lets say you are still producting 400watts of solar by 2:30pm and you want to run something a bit bigger, like an electric cooking pot of 800watts. Your solar power would provide half of your load power (800watts), while the remaining (only 400watts will come from the battery). As you can see, this is much healthier for your batteries, pulling only 400watts than it would be to pull the whole 800watts alone from the battery without the help of the solar panel.

Of course at night, your solar input would be 0 and your batteries would have to pick up the slack for all loads in your house.

As per connection, there really is nothing special. You just go from solar, to charge controller, then to the batteries. However, safety features like fuses and breakers need to be taken into consideration, as well as wire sizes, distance and so on.

Well, I'm sure they took insurance, so no biggie

I've never ever rented a very expensive car without full coverage insurance, no matter how much the insurance cost. Nothing like peace of mind.

and I will love someone here to be my campaign manager...pls should email me...fanks and Godbless!

No problem

With all these contestants listed thus far, I really feel like I can win this
