So my wattage should be around 800watts

Fridge 500w
Fan 40 x 2 ‎ = 80w
Light bulbs 100w
Tv 80 w

Totaling about 760 - 800 watts

diabeticdeals:
If you can, get a 2.5kwh battery to cater for future needs.

dollarnaira:
Fridge 500w ?
Hope your budget will grant you your desire?
What is your budget first? Your pocket will determine your taste and choice of load to power.

500k to 1m

How much will the setup for this cost?

tonididdy:
Thanks chief
I did and now the controller has refused to power ON ( almost like the batt3 is too weak to power on the powerM controller )though it was a very mocky weather today.
I am thinking my batt3 is drained beyond revival but 🤞

Good day guys, please I’m new to this solar inverter stuff and I’m interested in setting up something not too expensive but efficient, I recently moved to a new location and their power supply here is terrible, so I need a setup that should be able to supply me with at least 18hrs power supply daily, especially over night, major appliances are my normal bulbs, 2 standing fans, a fridge and my 55 inch tv. Please help a brother out.

Barackmeringo:
Good day everyone.

I have an already installed setup here. 1.5kva 24V hybrid inverter and 2.5kwh battery. Serves me well.


I'm "trying" to consider adding panel to my setup in a bid to finally go off-grid(if I don't on my fridge, I regularly have less than 150W load).


However, I've contacted 2 different people who gave me quotes that made me run for my life 🤣

First person, "madam", insisted on 4/6 panels. Even though I stated I don't have the funds.
4, 300W panels, 85k each
DC cable, 150k
4 Panel rack, 25k

That's a total of 590k. Haaaaaaaa, kilode??


I spoke to her worker himself, guy that installed. And he was more understanding, asking me how many panels I intend to use. And for the sake of quotation, I told him 2, 300W panels is alright.

2, 300W panels, 88k each
20yd DC cable, 100k
3 racks, 15k
DC breaker, 63A, 8k
Accessories, 10k(I don't know what other accessories o 😂😂)
Installation, 40k

That's a total of 349k



In my mind, initially, I was looking at getting a single 440W panel from Fouani(140k), but I then thought that 2 300W panels would give more wattage than a single 440W panel, so I considered the 300W panels instead.


I live in a storey building, and my apartment is on the ground floor. What can you advise with respect to the second quote, please? Am I supposed to spend 300k in all honesty? And for two panels too?

Thanks...

HeavenlyBang:
Considering even modern 200L chest freezers only take like 110w, I'm very curious how you got to the conclusion that your fridge takes 500w.




1m in this economy will only give you a very barebones setup.

12v.

Powmr 100aH Lifepo4 battery - 290k
Two 625w Jinko panels - 340k
Sachet inverter + MPPT or a hybrid 12v inverter - 200-250k

Leaves you with 120k for accessories and installation. Not enough but top up that budget a little bit and you're in business.

Iinnov8:
Where do you intend getting the 300w panels? I know why I am asking.

Also confirm from the second guy whether he is using 6mm2 or 10mm2 cables

Iinnov8:
It is impossible for your fridge to pull 500w. Share the nameplate sticker at the back of the fridge.

Why are your bulbs a whooping 100w? What is the Watts rating of each bulb and how many in total.

Consider changing your fans to something more energy-efficient

richy02:
500k to 1m

richy02:
Apologies, made a mistake with the fridge figure, I picked the wrong figure, it is 63w for the fridge and the bulb is about 10, 7 watts each, so I only approximated

Barackmeringo:
For the earlier installation, he claims he used 10mm². But the cable was labelled 16mm². I'm sure he'd use the same cable.


For the panel, the prices he stated are from wherever he's going to buy. However, if I'm not buying from Fouani(which would be single Panel), I'd buy the 300W panels from reputable vendors here.

Iinnov8:
There is no way he will quote you for 10mm2 and use 16mm2. Just ensure he gets and uses what he quotes you for so that you get maximum value for your money and your system works well

Also, please, be sure of the source of your panels. It makes a whole lot of significant difference as it will determine the quality of your harvest. I personally will advise that you buy from Fouani and get it right from the get-go

dollarnaira:
Well, it will serve you depending on your loads.

3000w Satchet nverter + powmr cc(old version) = roughly 200k

Solar panels = 600w ( 300w ×2)
= Jinko 440w × 2 = 248k

LifePO4 12v 300k roughly.

lol, thanks a lot bro, please what’s your location and how many hours power do you get from this setup on a daily?

Cable : hmmmm used 8core pure copper Ethernet cable.

Output on a good day is 16a to 26a without cable getting hot.

The above is my set up apart from the Jinko and am off-grid with sense ni oo. The most important appliance is the freezer.

So prioritize you load and enjoy free energy.

Dont copy some people here ooo these guys pluck money on trees.

I’ve seen this face in Alaba international market.

mctfopt:
How does this work? What do you use this Ethernet cable to power? Do you mind sharing a picture?

Davide007:
He withheld my tubular battery and extra amount of #30,000 nairaland for months now


He defrauded me.... please be careful with such people

dollarnaira:
Power all my appliances.
Picture not loading...
I can send to you via WhatsApp.
Or
Google Cat5, Cat6, or patch cables.
They are for computers.

Thank you 🙏 my people

Oh, I know this cable. Thought you were using it for DC application

Nice then.
