nikaShow: Mehn, I love this analysis, but let me ask some questions The MTN stuff, did you get an electrician to rewire your house? Will you advise one go for it nowadays? Does the MTN stuff come with panels, or how exactly does it work? The bona freezer, does it come with the complete setup or what? Finally, since you're still connected to NEPA, doesn't charging the inverter eat up the units, for those using prepaid? Thanks in advance |

Lithium vs Lipo battery, which is better? |

Love800: They are energy saving and don’t consume as much as the regular ACs and Freezers. 2 Likes 1 Share |

matify83:what d difference BTW inverter and solar generator |
Re: Guys Using Solar Energy Instead Of Nepa Or Gen. by NevetsIbot(m): 7:28pm On Feb 18 |
I just installed a 1.5kva solar system two days ago and I’m totally loving it. I can’t wait to get more funds to buy more panels and more batteries! I don’t even think about this BEDC bringing power or not |

Ogaonos: Sorry, I'm not into solar generators. |

Solar solutions are the best. Most expecially for those that have switched to Lithium ion phosphate batteries. Mehm! You will never understand the feeling until you switch... I could show you road if you want |

matify83: Please which tubular battery brand do you use and how long can one hope to it? Also which brand do you know to be good and yet is not too costly? |
Re: Guys Using Solar Energy Instead Of Nepa Or Gen. by matify83: 7:58pm On Feb 18 |
BAMOFIN1: Most Indian brands should do. They are mostly produced from the same source. It's Nigerians that give them the multiplicity of names you see in the market. |

Re: Guys Using Solar Energy Instead Of Nepa Or Gen. by BAMOFIN1: 8:02pm On Feb 18 |
matify83:Thanks but I would have loved you, as an experienced user, to mention a brand or two based on your experience. |
Re: Guys Using Solar Energy Instead Of Nepa Or Gen. by NaMe4: 8:05pm On Feb 18 |
Makes a lot of sense. Has been really great. |
Re: Guys Using Solar Energy Instead Of Nepa Or Gen. by matify83: 8:13pm On Feb 18 |
BAMOFIN1: You are forcing me to reveal my brand. Well I use Eastman tubular batteries. Genus is equally very good. The high end ones like Luminous and Sukam are superb but their cost is prohibitive. |

[quote author=nikaShow post=128516322]I used the Mtn Lumos inverter for 5 years. Powers all the bulbs in my house , charges my phones and laptops , charges a rechargeable standing fan. Paid it off and still using it 4 years later. Total of 9 years it has served me now. Never touched it, no fault at all. One of my best investments. I now have added a Bona solar freezer and its complete setup. Solar freezer works with only one battery but 3 solar panels. I bought an inverter to switch from the freezer to light when everything in the freezer is ice block but the inverter almost always broke down so I just removed it completely. Leaving the freezer on the one battery alone , 2 years running now and everything for my freezer na ice block. I am still on grid, but I only use Nepa for Washing Machine, Blender and Microwave. I outsource my ironing to dry cleaner. I have never owned a Generator. [/quote @nikashow pls what is the brand/name of that red battery you have used for 2 years ? |

matify83:I appreciate. I will research both. Thanks. |

TheGift: True Wasn't referring to 3.6 kva, but rather 7kva That is what would be enough to power AC and Borehole in addition |

franchasofficia: Yeah thanks... But that gel is also serving very well with an mppt controller, though. |

ceetowl: There are two. One is modified square wave and the other is pure sine wave. |
Re: Guys Using Solar Energy Instead Of Nepa Or Gen. by anu3: 8:41pm On Feb 18 |
AnonimusdeTerra: Roughly 250 - 300 if you're doing it yourself. 100 ah battery (around 100 - 120k) 30ah MPPT controller (around 70k)... or get the common small PWM one for 7k for a start. 300 - 400 watt panel (50 - 70k) And wiring... 1000 watt inverter: 25 - 30k. (or pure sine wave like 70k above) Peace... 2 Likes |
