I wish i could.
But am so poor.
Poverty hovers over my household!
Poverty is an imagination. Step out from your house and see difference.


Simple illustration:

AC uses electric appliances, DC aren't electric.

That means, this your solar wont be effective during raining season. Because there is no good sunlight during the rains!
It's effective. All I need to do is reduce power consumption by turning off some appliances. Like I have my fridge and deep freezer on throughout the day. I can turn off one. But it's effective even on cloudy, cold days.

Thanks,

None.

But when you buy the solar portable inverter, there are DC versions of all appliances in your house too.

Cost about N1.5m plus

-TV, Laptop, Lights, Fan overnight
-Fridge during the day (before 4pm)

This is actually an entry size for a domestic home use. As long as you don't overstress the machine, you will enjoy it
Okay. Check your dm

Hello Bro, what do you use the power for? I have portable energy solution that are budet friendly from as low as 157k for a Laptop Powerbank or 166k for a LiFePo4 battery and inverter
God Willing first week of January you would hear from me. May be soon after Christmas.

If I don't make the money, I would take it from loan shark. I don't tire/vex. If possible keep the ₦166k

How much is shipping to Bauchi?

MrDoGood:

It will power a three bedroom house with proper management.

Especially
-Put on One Fridge or One Freezer between 9am and 4pm daily.
- Never Iron your clothes with the system
- Never cook with the system or use boiling ring
-Restrict fan to just one (overnight)

Use energy saving bulbs throughout

Yes bro, even with a budget solar set up you can still enjoy electricity, mistake you made you should have gotten proper knowledge of solar system before you venture into, you for nor waste this money, my set up will be 2years by march 2025,
I bought luminous tabular 220ah battery 164k
Foresolar 1.5kva 12v inverter 90k
Felicity controller 60amps 105k
Three 400watt panel at 85k each
Wire abt 60k
This is 12v 1.5kva setup and it powers my washing machine, my refrigerator , TV , dc fan and blender the only tin it can't power is my borehole and hotplate.i spend 500k plus one of the best decision I took b4 they remove fuel subsidy, I even they regret say I nor buy solar submersible pump then wen it was cheap compare to the price now.. My guy solar is very reliable if u have proper knowledge to get the right tins even if e cost you money but u go enjoy am pass nepa light by far even if na 100ah batter and 1 panel
Wow! Brother come to my rescue. Let me not go and waste money. Please, I am thinking of installing a solar system. I feel 2.5kva will be too big for the load I want to power.

Looking at your setup, can the 1.5KVA setup power middle sized fridge, 2 standing fans, TV, laptop and some energy saving bulbs or I should go for 2.5kva?
Re: Help!! Is My Inverter Running Normally At This Capacity? (PHOTOS) by osayuwamwen(m): 7:30pm On Jan 09, 2025
I don't know the power rating of your refrigerator but am using a Samsung inverter refrigerator with power rating of 100watts, just check the power rating of yr refrigerator and make sure yr fan is dc fan or those small ac standing fan but dc fan is much more energy efficient, if you are buying tabular battery buy luminous tabular battery it is expensive but it is worth it if u can't buy lithium battery, and also oversized your solar panel so that you will have full charge on time and also power yr refrigerator while during the day, use mttp controller, buy Felicity controller it's good, if u can't, buy other cheaper mttp am using 3 panel of 400watt each with 1 luminous battery and Felicity 60am controller my Felicity controller goes off when the day is going dark btw 6:30 and 7pm and wakes up in the morning when the day is bright this way it saves yr battery as it does not uses power from yr battery to work and also make the device last longer as this is not the case with most other controllers

Thank you brother for the insights. I will surely get it right.

Please, which lithium battery capacity will you suggest for this 1.5kva setup? I am thinking of getting a 100Ah 2.5kWh Felicity lithium battery. But I don't know if they have that.

Kindly suggest a lithium battery for me for the setup.
Re: Help!! Is My Inverter Running Normally At This Capacity? (PHOTOS) by osayuwamwen(m): 1:25am On Jan 10, 2025
I really don't have idea on lithium battery but you can check on AliExpress there are different brands of Lp04 batteries

Centrik360:
I GOT ALLTOP SOLAR 500W (Ac 222v DC:14.6v)


IT POWERS MY TV 190W
MY REFRIGERATOR 80W
MY STANDING FAN 82W
CEILING FAN, ox fan 95W
HOME THEATER 60W
MY BULBS (5W EACH) 3cs
WHEN I LOAD IT IT CAN LAST 4HRS

If load just my 80w fan, bulbs and home theater, it takes me 10hrs


IT CAN EVEN CARRY MY HOT PLATE AND ELECTRIC IRON BUT DUE TO HEAST ASSOCIATED WITH THESE TWO, I DO AVOID THEM.






So you must have been scammed
I really want to get an inverter that can carry just bulbs fan and maybe laptop. I have a big generator that works. But i don't want to be using everyday. Can you recommend? Thank you

I can't suggest an inverter, but if you need 24 hours light, a 3.5kva inverter preferably hybrid inverter and at least two big batteries along with solar panels would be okay. I don't use a generator again both at home and in the shop. I get at least four ice block daily to feed the deep freezer in the shop from the deep freezer at home. So sales is good as drinks are cool all through the day.

TenQ:
1. Too bad, you bought a TOY
2. Sellers of Inverters will sweet talk you into bad purchases

Let me break it down for you
1. Your One Panel 18V 30W:
Means that if the efficiency is 100%, as long as the sun is up, the maximum load it can carry is 30W between 9am and 5pm (8 Hours)
If there is no NEPA (Mains Electricity), it means you can use 60W of power for 4 Hours OR 120W for 2 Hours
2. Your battery capacity of12V 12AH Lead-acid battery
Mean that at full capacity, it can store at 100% efficiency 144W of Energy
it means that at best you can use up to 144W of Energy for 1 Hour OR 72W of Energy for 2Hours
3. Your Inverter of 220V 150W.
Mean that at 100% Efficiency, you cannot plug loads up to 150W without blowing up the inverter. This is the maximum power you can draw from it if your battery capacity will allow it.

Now, you are driving it with a load of 95W OX fan
Laptop at 65W

Let me shock you that the efficiencies of solar panel that is properly optimised is less that 50% from the rating
Your Battery can have 80% Efficiency only when brand new, as you use it (especially when overloading it) the efficiency can drop to 40%

So, don't use your inverter for your fan or laptop, restrict it to giving you lights at night.
Don't even bother augmenting with extra panels or batteries because it will still waste your money




Recommendation: Even though costly
1. Two Deep cycle Batteries of at least 200AH capacity
2. Three to Four Solar panels
3. Charge controllers rated for the four panels with a power not less that 1200W
4. Inverter (Sine Wave) of at least 1500W (Much higher is better)

Less is a waste of investment

My Small Advice!
I want to install solar in my house (3 bedrooms) what's your advice. Maybe one deep freezer, 3 standing fan and a tv

1. Four Solar Panels each @300W minimum
2. Two 12V @220AH Tubular Batteries (because you can maintain it when the electrolyte level is going low) Please before use, make your you guage the acid level using the relative density) suppliers may give you dilute acid to cut cost.
3. MPPT Charge Controller of minimum rating of 80V (Not use Pwm charge controller, the efficiency is terrible and it will ultimately destroy your battery)
4. Inverter (Sine Wave) of at least 2500W (Much higher is better)


For your Freezer, you can use the recommendation above only that You will switch ON your Freezer at about 9am and put it OFF at about 4pm daily (if there is no electricity)

I can't give you an exact price but you may need at least N1.5 million.

Except your NEPA supply is reliable, Solar panel is a must.

The setup I gave you will power your freezer if you follow the rules.
