Hmmm... We overcome!

Barezzi:
Nice one, my only grouse is the 10 solar hrs.
Its not realistic. 5hrs is a better estimate.

i am very interested in adding wind to my current setup.

24hrs

I just saw pictures of this very car on CHEKI.co m . I hope you are the one that put it there too.
Where is the car, so I can come and inspect it

geesampower:
THE LOAD
AC (1.5hp) each 1800Watts X 4= 7,200Watts
Fridge (approx)=200W
Freezer(approx)=300W
TV 42inch(approx) each 200w (max) X4= 800W
Light bulb (energy saving) 26W X15 = 390w
Washing machine (What size :/ ) Let's assume it is not more than 3cubic feet spinner= 400W (minimum)
TOTAL= 9, 290W X 1.5 (power factor)
= 13,900 Va
=13.9Kva

DURATION
Everything can't be on at once so we use 12hrs for calculation. Though this will be practically 24hrs even days depending on how much is loaded per time.
9,290W X12Hr = 111,480 WHr
111.5KwHr

Solar/Wind hybrid
Solar takes 40% and wind 60% of power generation
(I am giving wind power 60% because of the windy location and to save space solar panels will occupy)

Solar takes 44.6kwHr generation
In 10hours 4.6kw panels will do the job
So... We need just 4.6kw panels


Wind takes 66.9kw
In24hrs of wind that means we need just 2.8kw of wind turbine

We need a storage of
About 60% capacity (would have been 100% but the wind turbines helps save cost on batteries as they work almost round the clock)
So we need a battery bank of 66.9kwh

If we are using 200ah batteries (which we won't better to use 400ah batteries at 6v)
We only need 28 batteries

TOTAL cost of this setup batteries wind turbines, poles and concrete casting, solar panels safety features, installation, inverter, controLlers and all will
cost N 8,992,307.7


Thank you

I had to do all the break down because any one from anywhere in the world cld stumble on this thread and I want them to understand what we are talking about.

Morning

Solution

peaceland:
thanks sir,
was actually referring to the bungalow aspect of his enquiry

Size of a building does not determine what size of generator or solar power installation you need But the amount of energy needed which is proportional to the number of lights, tv, refridgerators, airconditioning etc that is in the house.
Average nigerian home would need between 3kva and 6kva ( cost from 930,000 to 1.9m)

peaceland:
seconded, bros geesampower where are you?

Total cost is N1.23M Break down coming up soon

Yes

Yes

Nicely done.

Thank you sir People like you and Segcymoor are models to many here.

peaceland:
Thanks sir,
you mean the owner can have full charge in 6 hours of sunlight?
I believe that should be peak sunlight period of is it inclusive of any period there is light outside.
what are the maintenance tips for the proud owner?
is there a possibility of charging via alternative phcn and gen?
is there a risk of overcharging?

The most important thing is not to overload your system. And don't temper with the installation
Yes the installation is an hybrid system can take power from AC sources such as generator and phcn (main grid). There is no risk of overcharging because the charge controller is a 4 step charger as well as the in built inverter charger. Charging is highly regulated and stopped when the batteries are full

segzy14:
It is a pleasure working with you.

The pleasure is all mine sir. Glad the work went hitch free.

peaceland:
Well done sir,
nice work
we will all get there
6 hours charging?, is that inclusive of a booster charger or not sir
Thanks

Thank you sir.

There is no need for a booster charger. The charge controller can "Bulk" charge, same with the inbuilt inverter charger.

DUNKA:
thanks what is d price?

38,000-40,000 each. Have some in use for 2 years now and they are still working. Not bad if u ask me. There are alternatives tho if you don't mind the cost, sure I have recommended deka to you sometime ago

Hello

DUNKA:
Please what is the make,capacity and cost of the batteries in the project?

Pls post the solar power energy pictures u installed here.

Here are some

Mum

The battery bank is a 8 150ah battery bank Takes about 5 - 6 hours of good sunshine to charge them up.
