| Should I Use Solar Panels Instead Of A Generator For My House? by Joshua126(op): 6:03pm On Mar 12, 2025 |
Where I live, I often see these things on the roofs of people's houses and I wonder why they even buy them. Are they truly better than a normal generator? Don't they have less charge and take a long time to charge? Should I consider buying one or it's just a joke? |

RealLordZeus:I just don't understand the deal about solar panels. I heard they don't power stuff really well. Seems like a lot of wahala to choose that over a generator. Maybe i should consider getting one, i hope it doesn't cost too much. I also seem to have a problem with the things getting burnt in my house.you seem to know some stuff about this,can we talk more about this? . I sent you a message. |

Biqsahm:[b]You can actually use fan 24/7 with your solar, just make sure it's DC solar fan. Mine is ceiling fans, I had it installed in all the rooms and it's on all the time. It still carries my smart TV and all my working device comfortably, the only thing I don't have fixed directly to the solar is freezer but every other thing is connected. It's been serving me for years now, just know your solar capacity and use it well. |

Joshua126:It powers a lot, just know how to use it and it would serve you. About it costing too much, lemme not sugarcoat anything for you. It's expensive couple with the economy meltdown, when I did mine I was complaining of how expensive it was so imagine what you would say with how things are now but I can assure you, it's worth every penny you would spend doing it. Don't let anyone deceive you that it's easy to run and inexpensive, quality stuff that would serve a long term goal for you doesn't come cheap. Generator is already outdated, just go energy phase and enjoy peace of mind. Thank me later.☺️☺️ |

Joshua126:I've lost access to my registered email Regarding the solar system, I believe all your fears are just fears as the probability of it turning reality is less than 10%. Firstly, things not getting charged properly is not real as long as you set it up properly Also things getting burnt is very minimal compared to normal electricity as the system will indicate an error and switch off if there is any wrong or bad connection, overload etc The most definitive factor is your budget, yes solar system is a bit costly but when you factor the cost of buying, fuelling and maintaining generator, you will know its a small change.. infact it's even cost efficient compared to when you are on Band A electricity. So the items you are getting is 1. Batteries: ensure its tubular and from a good manufacturer 2. Inverter: you can set up a 24v system 3. Panels: start with 300watt panel 4. Charging controller 5.wires It's been long I get mine so this is a rough estimate. Lets say you have a budget of 1m You can get 2 tubular batteries roughly 450-500k 2 x 300 Watts solar panel should be around 200-250k 24v Inverter between. 200 to 250k Charge controller and wires with the rest Alternatively, there is an easy buy solar system dlight nigeria.. they have a solar system that function exactly like I pass my neighbour Can carry TV, sound system, ceiling fans, laptops etc but not fridge or AC You can hit me up on 0.8.0.88922994 regarding that one |
