Expertt:
I already have 25kva diseal Gen, am planning for 20kva Inverter but I need to know the number of 200ah batteries and 300w mono solar panels that will be able to run 12kw load for at least 12hrs

ojeysky:
100+80+50+150+(18x8)=524w
524x1.2(if we factor loss)= 628
You will need about 16KWH of backup for this. At 24v system, that translate to between 600 and 700AH Lifepo4 or 1200AH Lead acid (assuming you apply safety precautions).

Do you really want to have 524w all through 24hrs? I don't think so but you have a rough estimate to work with.

MurderEnglish:
At the bolded, I meant to say Powerbank.

For hours of backup, I need at least 24hrs. I understand that NEPA might give light and also my compound has a Mikano that gives us light at least for 3hrs 4days every week.

I want to know how much I will budget for this project.
I really don't want to buy a generator, the noise alone is killing me.

MurderEnglish:
This is a wonderful thread. I just came across this today. I believe my energy problems will be met here.

Can any one help me?.

These are my power needs
1. Max. 3 laptops
2. Max. 4 phones
3. Max. 4 20,000 (80,000) mAH
4. Bluetooth speaker (it can be charged)
5. Rechargeable fan
6. Reading lamp
7. Led light
8. A flat screen TV maybe.

It's a single room, I think I need it to charge with NEPA or Generator (Mikano).

How much should I budget based on my power needs and how efficient will the whole setup lasts energy wise and longevity wise?

One of the reasons I now go for external chargers. Over the years I have packed and condemned inverters with either bad chargers or bad inverters. Going together is NEVER a good combination.

Cheap Chinco "Reliable" I bought since 2016 is still doing the job, no chargers attached.

Saipro:
In my early years of inverter use, I had two of those. They were lifesavers despite the horrid hum my ceiling fans gave off. Caused lines on my diehard CRT TV, even powered my fridge albeit with the compressor nearly going into thermal meltdown, forcing the use of external cooling. One was given out early (fixed then gave it out) while the other one is still alive about 20 years later, in a neighbour's shop. Each time they went to the repair shop, it was for charging issues, especially when charging high resistance/large capacity or failing batteries. Inverter side never had issues beyond blown fuses and noisy fans. Take note of the words in bold. Failure is invariably in the charging section.

Malevonent:
dont see anything low energy about the AC, 2HP IS ABOUT 1.5KW. DIVIDIN BY 240V, YOU GET 6.25AMPS. SO WHERE IS THE low energy?..abi am missing something

bigrovar:
omo I lucky o.. I had already budget one kin 40k for one side lol. now I don't even know weather to sell the device, the pixel done really win me over.

Raptor2cool:
it was never like this before.
av being ordering from aliexpress for 3years now and I have never used any of those, still get my parcel within a month too.

This is from an Android

tonididdy:
oh.
please what does this 12v charger look like and how to connect?

tonididdy:
hello gdm

bigrovar:
I ordered the oneplus 7t. My phone screen got damaged and figure might of well get a new device. Interestingly while waiting thinking it would take time, I went and got the pixel 3 xl in Nigeria.. Now it seems the 7t will be entering my hand today.. Might have to sell it cause Pixel 3 is such a joy to use.

tonididdy:
hi gdm
I don't have NEPA connectivity only generator and my small solar setup

Skycargo is good if you can manage their headache, I read St Patrick is cool too but just a bit pricey

Silas12345:
somebody help me

tonididdy:
my inverter suddenly stopped charging with generator... what could be wrong?

essegis:
I am more eager knowing I bought all used modules. With the over ratings on LFP I'm still expecting some years from these set ups. If I can get them I will be the happiest man on earth.

Even if I don't get them it will be treated as a learning curve and I can only improve from here on in. As for Lead Acid? I think we have divorced finally.

Guys, just got the delivery of the 2nd set of batteries in today. What's left now is the 38120 cells. Too bad I'm still locked up at work. Hopefully, I will get down to some working when I finally get out.

Ojeysky, as the BYD don come early so I might actually be picking up that 24v charger you got. Hope you are still game. I cannot top balance these guys cell wise while I was actually expecting the 38120 cells before these. Courier say na Corona cause them to come anyhow, who am I to argue?

tetralogyfallot:
its N500 naira here in kano

Hmmm quite sad, even though I don't expect you guys to be using your salary to be running up and down for the case but at least you guys have to be human na, habbaa, you should know the family is divastated already because of the Lost of their loved one in a painful manner. Take for instance the thing happened to one of you how will you take it. My condolences goes to the family of the Innocent girl.

AutoReportNG:
Thats true... Ever since Alin has left that place, scammers and criminals have taken over, reason why I stopped using them. They manipulate figures and also their staffs are very ude, they see it as doing you a favour.

I hope you get justice for your goods.
