what can 400k budget solar offer me. Still working on raising fund but expenses too much

.

This is what you can easily get with that budget.

1kva sachet inverter (20k) you can get this on konga
2pcs 250w solar panel (65k/1) you can get around 55k within lagos
1 tubular battery (155k -160k)
Pwm charge controller 60a (25k -28k)
Wire
Workmanship/logistics.

You will definitely have to make provision for spare cash to cover for logistics

odimbannamdi:
I got them from Arena for 1,200naira about 2 years ago. But the price has most likely increased. I see that you are in the market for a good solar charge controller. I actually sell the Powmr MPPT Solar charge controller and it comes with a free DC breaker. I could throw in one of the battery volt indicator for free if you purchase the controller. Reach me via the number in my signature.

How much is the powmr mppt controller

From experience it's best you give punishment (carry a stool, frog jump etc) only flog when they bring down the stool etc (obviously there is a time attached) or transfer the house chores of the other to the one been punished.

Children Cherish freedom (I do when I was younger) ...


I will prefer to be flogged than punished because the pain of punishment doesn't fade away easily

Verily verily I say unto you the price of solar accessories will increase.

About to start at Rivers state

U need a volunteer I am interested in learning about biogas

joinnow:
Cool will then use my farm waste

Where is your farm

sprints1:
exactly bro thanks. Filling station is 0.75 litres I have measured it b4 useless people. Yh he is right though it will run 1hr 30mins true if your carburetor is new. If u set the valve it will max 2hrs 30min but can damage the engine and cause it to overheat

Nice to know.
I thought we all agreed to use our carburetors like that why Una dey get Una own

joinnow:
Can biogas be use ...

Yeah.
It's methane gas

brightleave:
For your info, 1kg of gas is not equivalent to 1litre of petro. Rather it's equivalent to 1.96litres of petro. Take note sir

@gazzuzz i think to make this experiment more even, buy gas and petrol worth 1000naira and do the experiment again. That way we are comparing the actual cost of the fuel to the duration.

Thanks this is my observation

sprints1:
This is a big lie a 1 litre of fuel in filling station cannot run for 1hr 40min + on 2.5kva generator the one you measured is total gallon which is way higher than filling station 1 litre. The 1 litre of Mobil or total or lubcon gallon is approx 1.5 litres of filling station so no dey cap.

So he's still correct.
The standard 1 litre is what he used not Nigerian filling station 1litre

GAZZUZZ:
PMS (petrol ) test has commenced, using same load conditions and same carburettor.

How much load

GAZZUZZ:
In response to the removal of PMS subsidy.

I have installed an LPG/CNG carburettor that also works with PMS (petrol)

Kindly note

Fuel tank emptied via the supply hose .

Scale set to measure lpg as it is consumed in KG

1L of fuel measured out into a gallon and will be poured into gen.

Same amount of load will be applied in both instances .

Timer set to zero.

I will start with LPG.... Will run for 1KG and I will turn it off once it hits 1kg on the scale the
mark the time.

Next will be petrol PMS, it will also run for 1L then I will mark the amount of time it took before gen went off.

1kg of gas = ₦650 (June 12 2023)

1L of petrol = ₦500 (June 12 2023)

Let's start.

Any questions feel free to ask.


Modified summary


Total time of LPG - 197mins at #650/kg

= #3.3/min

Total time or petrol - 106 mins at #500/l

= #4.7/m

Another way of looking at it .

With Gas

By calculation

1kg of gas at 650naira per kg lasted 3.17hours (3hours 17mins)

How many kg of gas per hour
650/3.17= 205.

Cost per hour = ₦205

I.e ₦205 of gas lasted one hour

*With Petrol*

One liter at #500 lasted 1.46mins (one hour 46mins)

Cost per hour= 500/1.46 = ₦342


Conclusion LPG cheaper

Personally gas is so safer than pms any day, but I'll have to put out this warning.

WARNING!!!!

LPG IS FLAMMABLE.

THE GAS LINE AND GAS CYLINDER SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY FROM NAKED FLAMES AND HOT SURFACES.

WHEN TROUBLESHOOTING A PROBLEM WITH YOUR GEN USE PMS ESPECIALLY FOR VALVE AND ELECTRICAL ISSUES.

FINALLY THE END PRODUCT IS STILL CARBON MONOXIDE AND GEN SHOULD NEVER BE USED IN A CONFINEMENT, CARBON MONOXIDE WILL KILL IF THIS HAPPENS.


Happy independence day people .

How much load did you put on

fatherbeeman:
Please sir can you recommend where i can get luminous tabular battery and 1.5kva inverter/ any good 2.5kva inverter. Thanks

Luminous I don't know.
For the inverter, afrii power is a good buy.

feelme3:
Wow. 6M no be here o. Like I said, no be say the two AC go dey on at the same time o. The window unit is mostly used at night (bedroom)
Except for the TVs, Home Theatre, Dstv, and the 1.5hp AC that are usually run daytime. The pumping machine na like days NEPA no give light, pumps like 30mins. So if I try reach 2M I can't get up to 10hrs on the aforementioned load?

No 2m can't do the job

b0rn2fuck:
do you sell all these things , so I know maybe to be buying it little by little from you. How much do you sell 2.5 kva or 1.kva inverter, 320 watts Sola panel

I don't sell for now.

I can recommend where you can get the items

feelme3:
Thank you for this breakdown sir. Here's the appliances I will need to power.
They may not all be powered simultaneously.

55" LCD TV (160w)
30" LED TV (not sure the watts)
2 Dstv decoder
1 Home Theatre
1.5hp AC
1 6kg Washing Machine is
1.5hp Pumping Machine
1hp window unit
150L Thermocool chest freezer
4 ceiling fans
15 Energy bulbs (PoP ceiling & outside lights)
2 Laptops

My area do have guaranteed power from 11pm to 5am daily. Is a budget of 1.5M feasible for this?

No 1.5m is not feasible. You should be looking at 6m upward
Your battery bank will be large if you want to embark on this project.

Powering 2 AC no be moi moi.

So you are looking at roughly 18hrs back up power.

Juror:
Does Google lists products for sale?

He'll either see prices on websites that have not been updated or see prices of Alaba hustlers that don't actually have the product but would put ridiculously cheap prices to lure him to them at Alaba where they can then give him "oga this one too they work, na im I dey use for my house".

Na alaba I dey use oh

We talk them down too much but the funniest thing is many manufacturers want to collaborate with this guy's.
Them get many investors

zeestone99:
How is Accessories, MCB and logistics inflated. Shey you will go and buy it for him.

We have different sources any ways
Logistics excluded my bad

Juror:
How much is a mcb ?

The mcb on my previous post was a mistake. I tried re-editing but it didnt go through.

As for the wire I maintain my stand.
Before the subsidy palava, 10mm2 is 2.2k while 6mm2 is 1.3k.

I will come check for updated prices now

feelme3:
God bless you for your tireless meaningful inputs to this thread.
Please can you help with a list of what will build 5kva system? Thank you.

I don't know how much back up you need (how long you want it to last) but this is what you basically need

1. 5kva inverter (300k-350k)
2. Battery 12v 200A 4pcs ( quanta = 200k, starplus tubular = 145k, genus tubular=180k this are lagos prices location and logistics will make it vary)
3. Solar panel 250w * 9 ( if you are on a low budget don't go less than this. 12pcs will be succulent )
4. Charge controller MPPT 80A 130k -150k (Depends on product)
5. Mounting accessories 17k
6. Battery Rack 20k
7. Wire 2k- 2.3kyrd
8. Change over, breakers etc 10-12k
9. AC wire
10. Thunder surge (15-22k)

This is basically what you will be needing.
