Truvelisback: Buy the stuff with the help of a solar guy I mean go to the market yourself Depending on your needs The best setup are around 2kw upwards And cost chicken change of about 900k at most But if you go for a company this setup above may cost upto 1.2 million above And if you have good money Of say 3 million upwards in investment Use a lithium battery, Especially if what you need is above 5kw |

I have been on solar for over 8 years now , it powered by fridge TV and lights. Tho all my lights are on DC , all my fan are also on DC I only use AC with my fridge and TV meaning at night I don't need to power my inverter at all |
Re: Guys Using Solar Energy Instead Of Nepa Or Gen. by McLizbae: 3:54pm On Feb 18 |
Welldone! Na that your 12v; 3.5kva inverter dey enter my eyes pass. Id always wanted to stick with 12v inverter for budget purpose. I wish I'd read this about 2years ago. It is very hard to find 12v Pure sine wave inverters with power rating higher than 1-1.5kva back then. matify83: |

Dyfynezz12:2m can start it though free fall of naira to dollar is a big problem, my own is 4 panels of 360w, 2 200Ah battery and 3.5kva inverter at Nnewi last June include wire and few things and workmanship roughly 1m. My 3 rooms flat is fully carried but solar with timer that starts from 10.30am and stops by 4pm for deep freezer, but other things like tv, energy bulbs of 5w and fan especially at night. So start from somewhere and upgrade. My little advice 2 Likes 1 Share |

Off NEPA for 3 years ( was never connected to NEPA once the house was done) and this has to be the best investment I have ever made in Nigeria. I have light 24/7 and I'm enjoying it. My solar system is only in use when I'm in the country which is about every 3 months for about 2 weeks but it's working fine so far. 1 Like 1 Share |

Solar energy si the way to go. For starters, NO MORE GWNERATOR NOISE!!! THAT TOPS IT ALL FOR ME. You go just de enjoy yourself inside house, no noise, no waking up to top up fuel, to turn off generator, nothing! An inverter fridge keeps your food items fresh, cold water everytime of the time for this dry season...solar fans as well... Using 4 × 330W panels , powered Evey part of the house...most times I even forget that Nepa brings light...though I don't use the solar to power my pumping machine sha....about the only reason why I still need Nepa😂 1 Like |

Re: Guys Using Solar Energy Instead Of Nepa Or Gen. by jerobua: 4:31pm On Feb 18 |
I have read through everyone's response to your question, And I am not going to counter anyone's advise given to you. I have been using Solar electricity for several years and I am still using it now and I also did some installation back then before I stopped. There are facts about Solar electricity you need to know before you venture into it.its left for you to make your choice What I am about to tell now, no solar electricity engineer would tell you Firstly, you can't replace THE MAIN GRID with Solar electricity, solar is there for back up. It's better you do a household solar system, probably a 2.0kva,24V Inverter 1000watts solar panel, 2 TUBULAR BATTERIES system to carry resistive loads of TV, DSTV,one or two fans DURING THE DAY WHEN THERE IS SUNLIGHT and when it's evening, use it for LIGHTING OF BULBS ONLY. Use your remaining money to buy a standard generator that can power your AC, FREEZER and other inductive loads. Do not buy china made, buy ORIGINAL INDIAN PRODUCT that will last you, get the once that has SERVICE CENTRE In case of repairs of minor faults Install a battery balancer on your 24V battery system Make sure you do EARTHING on your solar system to prevent LIGHTNING damage during rainfall I wish someone told me all these facts when I first ventured into solar electricity, I wasted a lot of money before I finally got it right Don't waste your money trying to build solar system that will carry PUMPING MACHINE ,AC,FREEZERS, ITS VERY EXPENSIVE TO BUILD NOW. TRUTH BE TOLD it will work after installation but not sustainable, because these appliances draw lots of current from the batteries, even if you buy 10 batteries at once, it's a matter of time, the moment one of the battery develops a fault( thermal fault, shorted cell, open cell) it will start to affect others. And lastly, during rainfall, solar electricity is not always effective, you will have to rely more on your battery backup, at this time try to reduce your resistive loads. I hope you find this helpful.....JSolar, jerryighodalo@gmail.com. 9 Likes 3 Shares |
