how did u go about this? did u eventually get another battery?
Got another one which worked but NEPA wouldn't allow me enjoy it. So I went solar! Now, I wanna flog the charger.

aluku5:
Pls what capacity of battery, charge controller and inverter do I need for a 60w solar panel? Will the specified system be able to power a laptop?
60W solar panel is quite little, but here is what I'll recommend: A little calculation to get the answer you seek.

(Some people believe you can get 7hours sunlight in Nigeria, but to be on the safe side in calculating, I'll rather use a 5hour benchmark)


Your panel can deliver = 60watt X 5hours average sunlight hours , i.e 300watthours

However, the panels are not 100% efficient and will lose some energy just as your PWM Solar charge controller is not 100% efficient. In most cases, they both deliver just about 60% of the panel capacity.

So you can, in reality, only have 60% of 300watthours = 180watthours

So, get a battery with 180watthours.

To get the value of this battery, divide by 12volts, i.e180watthours/12volts = 15Ah

In essence, you can get a 12volts 15Ah battery.

There are no 12volts 15Ah batteries, but you can get 12volts 7.5Ah batteries (the type usually seen in UPS)

So get 2 of them and connect them in series to give you 12volts 15Ah

You solar panel can confidently charge this batteries to 100% daily. I think this can power your laptops rated 65watt for about 3 hours. So, it's really a very small power bank that can't really do much for you. They will do better with lighting up you one-room self contain with say, 3 of 5watt bulbs and a 12watt fan for about 6hours daily.
PropertiesRe: Buying Land From Omonile Or Estate Company, Which Is Better In The Long Run? by pato405(m): 7:04pm On Jul 01, 2017
MrMcJay:
How many people here on Nairaland who bought land from real estate companies have been able to build on their plots?

How many companies selling land here on Nairaland with 'Excision under processing' have gotten theirs?

How many estates have valid legal documentation for parcels of land that they sell?

I'm a property lawyer and I have conducted due diligence im behalf of clients with regards to several estates being advertised here on Nairaland. Many of them don't have valid documents, some use C of Os to scam people, some aren't processing any Excision that they claim to process.

There's a particular estate being sold here on Nairaland where the company is fraudulently using a C of O not related to the land. Buyers aren't aware of this because they didn't get their own Surveyors to the site before paying. They're pouring millions of naira for an estate with phantom documents.

Unfortunately, the greatest scams by real estate companies are in the Ibeju-Lekki axis. They have packaging but they're hardcore fraudsters.

As for the Omoniles, some may land-grabbing, property reselling scammers who have defrauded many Nigerians, but there are ways of handling them. In fact, as a lawyer, I can't buy a single grain of sand from most of these real estate companies as I'll rather buy from the omoniles.

Very soon, I'll have to open some threads here on Nairaland to expose the scams being perpetrated by these Omoniles and real estate companies selling land in Nigeria.
Scammers everywhere. A state of EMERGENCY should be declared. Times are understandably hard, but is scamming the way out of hard times. I just DONT GET IT!

Thanks for this summary, you've just helped me escape being scammed. I was beginning to consider one of these numerous ibeju-lekki sweet gimmicks

thank you for the info. Here is the set up. Sorry there's no ladder for me to climb the roof for now to snap the solar panel
Make sure that your panels are facing north direction. Your wires coming from the panels look so thin. Make sure they are not less than 2.5mm or use 4mm (so you dont lose current due to high resistance thin wires).

I like you solar charge controller. Where did you get them for N4K. I don't mind buying from the person as I intend fixing mine next week hopefully.

dtruseeker:
Thanks for the thorough analysis sir. Since the battery is 40AH and going with your calculation, I need 100w panel, what if I add another 80w to the 80w I am currently using?
That will be perfect and will give you a daily full dose of charging. But if you want to be economical you could simply go for a 4owatt panel and save yourself some money. No qualms if you can afford another 80w panel

Finally I was able to setup my own small inverter with less than 50k. Here is the summary
1. LifePo4 black battery N10,000
2. 500w car inverter N7000
3. Pmw 20A solar controller N4000
4. 80w poly solar panel N17500
5. Cable for connection N1000
Total= N39500
I use this setup to power 20inch HP monitor, gotv, small USB fan and charge my phone. The main challenge I am facing now is the solar doesn't charge the battery fast. I have to wait till 11am when the battery current reaches 11v before I can ON the setup to watch the gotv. Gurus in the house pls how can I make it charge fast?

As soon as as I saw your list, even before reading your question, I suspected you'll have problems with charging.

1. What is the rating/capacity of your battery? you did not provide this information. From my guess it isn't less than 40AH. As a rule, always make sure the wattage of your solar panel is the right one for your battery else it will take longer to charge. A fast calculation for me will be to multiply the battery power by 2.5: i.e if you are using battery power of 100AH make sure your solar power is not less than 250watt. If you are using 40AH, make sure your solar is 100watt. A more detailed calculation is:

If you check the back of your panel, you'll notice that for every 20watt of solar panel, you can get 1Amp of current. for example,
20 watt solar panel = 1Amp current
40watt solar panel = 2 Amp current
60watt solar panel = 3 Amp current
80watt solar panel = 4 Amp current
100watt solar panel = 5 Amp current etc.

In Nigeria, we are blessed with up to 7hour sunlight daily. This means that your 80watt solar panel can deliver 4Amp X 7hours = 28AmpHours also written as 28AH. Now lets suppose you use a battery rated 28AH, this will take you one single day to get it fully charged since your solar panel can deliver this in one day. Again if your battery is rated 56AH, this will take you 2 days etc.

So, in your case, to get your battery fully charged in one day, simply INCREASE THE NUMBER OF SOLAR PANELS.

I'm sure your question now is: How many more solar panels do I need to buy?

Answer= Divide your battery AH rating by 28AH, approximate it to the nearest whole number and minus 1 (since you already have 1)

e.g If you use 100AH, calculate thus: 100AH/28AH = 3.57, i.e approximate = 4solar panels -1= 3 additional solar panels (each rated 80watt)

Go to Alaba market and buy 3 more 80watt solar panels grin
Sit back and enjoy daily constant uninterrupted power supply.

Why do some people resort to "my girlfriend left me" when I was nothing, let's be realistic what father would let their daughter be pinned down to an uneducated street footballer at her early stage of lifehuh Would you ever let your own daughterhuh She made a decision which every lady is entitled to. If reverse was the case men depending in women, how many of us would stay and be faithful in hardship and not seek sugar mummies?? Let's do table turns sometimes guys and leave this after breakthrough sentiments. After all the girl might not be made for you. Happy for you though
If that's her choice let her be.

Sometimes God works wonders out of what men think is the most stupid of ideas.
