Love800:
U dont want solar?

nikaShow:
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.

Love800:
What do u mean by inverter AC and inverter freezer?
Does it mean the main inverter dat powers the other appliances is different from inverter AC and inverter freezer?

How many hours does your battery last after 6pm ?

It's splendid!

I use a 3.5kva 12v kartel inverter and 4 220AH tubular batteries I connected in parallel to make 880AH.

I power virtually every thing in the house including an lg inverter AC for most of the afternoons , an lg inverter fridge/freezer and a bona solar chest freezer.

I've been fully off grid for going to 6 years by May and I don't have any regrets at all.

The installation was done DIY with little touch by my electrician.

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?

@Nikashow what is the name of that battery, it's price and where to get it's original. I need to buy batteries this month end and I need guidance from someone already using a good one. Thanks.

matify83:
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.

BAMOFIN1:
Thanks but I would have loved you, as an experienced user, to mention a brand or two based on your experience.

matify83:
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.

I stay in a duplex. I am installing a 3.6 kva inverter with solar which can carry two 1 hsp inverter acs, 1 inverter deep freezer, Smart TV, 20 laptops, 4-6 fans and over 20 energy saving bulbs for about 3m+

It’s not about the type or size of the house but what you want to power.

franchasofficia:
Keep using the one you are using, with time you will upgrade because things will get better for you

Dyfynezz12:
But Boss can 2m get me this in this current economy

ceetowl:
What type of wave is it

AnonimusdeTerra:
Good day sir. How much would it cost to power a single room using 2 laptops, 2 mobile phones and a standing fan?

drlateef:
You can find 3Kw 12V on Jumia. They are very cheap. Not sure of durability.

Geovanni412:
True

Wasn't referring to 3.6 kva, but rather 7kva

That is what would be enough to power AC and Borehole in addition

TheGift:
Oh boy, the borehole and water pump should wait first.
