Pls experts I want to know everything about installing a 2kw or 1kw solar panel system complete with inverters, batteries, everything. Pls what would be the real cost and which materials should I buy. I want a system that can power 1LCD TV, some bulbs, three fans, 1xbox360 and maybe a refrigerator for 24hrs. I am asking for something very reliable and long-lasting. I'm talking about for years and years to come. Pls experts in the house explain everything to me, so that I can pick the best option

Good move! Happy Sunday

Happy Sunday. So pls explain to me

Not an expert but anything from 800k and above.

How about 1kw

still anything from 800k and above. Batteries are the expensive things when buying inverters.

But I have seen many online adverts proposing a cost of 560k to 720k

powering your electronics and refrigerator for 24hours? 560k to 720k won’t do it, except you are extremely lucky.

OK how about for like 12hrs or if the load is reduced to 1LCD TV, DSTV mini decoder, 2fans and 2bulbs(10w)

then from that 500k and above.

that's what am talking about. But are you referring to the reduced load working at 24hrs or the entire load working at 12hrs

reduced loads working at 12hrs.

Boss, pls explain to me about this solar power issue

Poopypants:
reduced loads working at 12hrs.

Wow, I was thinking reduced load at 24hrs or full load for 12hrs. Not reduced load at 12hrs.

for your specifications, what you need is two pieces of 200ah batteries, a 1kva inverter atleast and other installation equipments.

And how much will all that come to

500k to 700k.

Thanx. But how about i get two 150watts solar panels, a cheap inverter, two cheap batteries, a normal cheap solar controller. How much will that cost, what load can it carry and how many hours can it go for a day

inverter 2kw - 200k
battery bank 10kwh - 600k
solar charge contorller MPPT 3.6kw. max. - 160k
solar array 3.6kwp - 400k

Total 1.360m

these are the four major components needed

How about a 500watts inverter

Two 12v/150watts solar panel

One 12v/200ah battery

One PWM solar controller

How much will that cost and how many hours in a day will it function

I’m going to be reaching out to you.

I have a small sized solar setup which i’ve been using for 3 years now. The battery is now bad and I want to replace it and probably add one more solar panel.

How much did it cost you to install your solar system and how many hours in a day can it work. Also what is the load

Whenever it comes to solar power installation for your home/business; please stay away from cheap; rather chase quality. The consequences of cheap are detrimental
