Equation89:
I want more clarification on this solar installation.

I have a phone accessories shop very close to my house and I equally charges phones too and the number of phones that comes to my shop daily is more than 200 and batteries more than 50 daily.

In a month, I spend close to 30k for fuel, oil and generator maintenance.

Now am considering installing solar that can comfortably power my shop in the day and house at night.

Please what package can I install that can comfortably power my shop and house

i would give you a projected estimate. (am just trying to kind of bookmark your comment)

stancod:
Good day sir I appreciate your effort to give me attention.
Is it possible to use 1.5kva inverter, 1pc 200A battery, 1pc of 250w solar panel since all items are above 1000w .
Bro nah money be the issue hope u understand
Thanks

.
if you wish to use the listed items above, get yourself an external charger to charge the battery when there is nepa light or gen.

one charging with gen, the load might be too much for the gen so you want to be sure your gen is big enough to carry the charger

I want to check something

please which book is this?

The ways of a superior man

My only advice to op

stancod:
Sir I learnt something
1hp =745.7watts i.e not up to kw
Therefore the kva of inverter am supposed to use is 1 or 1.5kva
now I Google something and it's telling me that 250w solar panel produce 30kwh so I thought 1pc of 250w panel will be ok for 1hp pump ONLY.
PLS make I understand the maths
My budget for this #250k
Thanks

Lol, Google will always tell you want you want to hear.
However I am telling you what you need to know to make your system work effectively.

On the 250w panel, I have not really sat Down to calculate its output in "kWh" before, but I will take note of it.

Irrespective of the wattage of the 1hp pumping machine, there is what is called "surge current". It is the amount of current the pump will draw when it starts, before gradually returning to it normal operations current.

If you decide to go for a 1kva or 1.5kva system, you would not have enough allowance/tolerance to accumulate for the induction current of your pumping machine.

Your budget is quite small,putting to consideration the cost of solar panels.

if I am to be malleable to your budget, I would advice you buy 2pcs 250w panel, 100amps battery, an mppt controller would be best(but your budget would cover for pwm) then inverter.

Other Snr men let them shook mouth as well.
I would like a different opinion anyway.

stancod:
What about the panel battery still same thing as u mentioned

Yes its a 24v system

stancod:
Thanks bro I really appreciate
What if it's 0.5hp
Thanks

You can use 1.5kva inverter

stancod:
Pls I want to run this solar inverter on ONLY 1hp water pump.
Pls what are the requirements of solar,solar controller, inverter and batteries that I can use.
Just as you have taught I believe I can do it myself.

you would need 2.5kva inverter, 2pcs 200A battery, 4pcs 250w solar panel, 6ll, 0a charge controller. etc

however, the cost can be reduced if you opt in for a smaller pumping machine.

Badoo, Whatsapp, telegram.
Depends on my perception/ impression about the person any way.
