Baba are you still using the UPS set up if yes, have ever tried it with solar panel ?

Other gurus can shade more on UPS as inverter and solar panel . What to expect and how the set up should be run.

I use my setup with solar panel, albeit not with a ups again. The solar connection to the battery is the same irrespective of the inverter or ups used. The most important thing is to follow your battery manufacturer's charge profile.

if you are looking to reduce your electric bill, then charge your batteries solely by solar, except on occasional bad weather days

Does charging consume that much current?

If I'm not using any car I usually keep the battery (65a) charged with my 10a souer charger and theres no noticeable increase in units used

first of all, 300w load on a bluegate 650 ups is too much, get a 1.2kva inverter for that, the capacity of your solar panels depends on your battery capacity and if you want to run your load during the day while charging the battery
A rule of thumb I always adhere to is to use 600watts solar panels and a 50a charge controller to every 200ah battery. Tell us your budget first and what you have on ground

Thank your response, my concern is that I use prepaid meter and I understand that solar panels inverters use Solar and Inverter, my concern is the power to charge the inverter considering that am using prepaid which is not like postpaid, I don't know if you understand my point

Installers quote

1. 100Amps DC breakers 1piece = #3000

2. 63Amps DC breaker 1piece = #2500

3. DC Surge #5000

4. AC Input breaker 1pc #2500

5. AC Output breaker 1pc #2000

6. 6mm 2core flex cable 30m = #550 x 30 = #16,500

7. Breaker box = #2000

8. Aluminum profile and its accessories = #10,000

TOTAL = #43,500

for example, if u have 3pcs of 400w panels, u dont need to use your prepaid meter to charge ,because on a good day of sunlight, your batteries with get full before 1pm or 2pm.

your normal Ceiling fan is what i meant by AC fan. DC fans the type that can work directly on battery or uses adapter m it consumes far less energy than normal fans.

the installers quote is not bad if he is truly going to buy all this.

u are yet to mention the name of the 150k inverter
incase u prefer standalone solar system, there is an SMR power 3.5kva inverter with good review here, u just buy it with a good 60A mppt Cc, then u are good to good.

Pureswine wave but if it a stand alone solar, the idea is I want a situation where back up time can last for 12hrs.
