At that point why not just go 24v with a ~1.5kva hybrid and 100aH battery? Cleaner installation and lower current.
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Tekenny: 8:08am On Mar 20, 2025
Hybrid and non hybrid which is better?

Thanks, i bought the growatt 6kw inventer from fouani store
Can you please state what size of battery you got for your setup based on the load you have
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by KudozInteriors(m): 8:26am On Mar 20, 2025
HeavenlyBang:
Are those sound watts or actual power draw?

Assuming the latter, your speakers are probably drawing like 40w typically. Total power including the freezer would be about ~400w.

Your budget should be sufficient.
Thank you so much sir.
This is the speaker wattage sir.

Please what and what do I need to buy and is there any trusted vendor I can get them from?
Thank you once again sir.

Hope these can power deep freezer too?

And do you have any idea of how many years I should expect the system to last for me?
Thanks once again.
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Tekenny: 8:37am On Mar 20, 2025
Please can you give a system break down for me on my items below (budgeted system that can maintain efficiency for 4 years minimum) . Please

1 laptop of 50w
3 Phones
Fan of 30w
5 LED bulbs.

From my calculation, I will be using 1240watts (1.24kw) daily approximately

Pls, gurus. For people who go 100% off grid. How do you cope during the rainy season?

For example now, it's 9AM and its drizzling. The charging current is just 1.1a from a 1050w pv.
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by litaninja(m): 9:12am On Mar 20, 2025
Oversize your PV array.

It will power a modern freezer.
It all depends on your location/choice of vendors.: Valto--- (battery/cells, balancer, Inverter etc), linnov--- ( battery, cable, mc4, inverter, charger controller). Fouani --- Jinko panels. I can supply you Jinko if Fouani is out of stock.

LifePO4 can do more than 10yrs...

You know how to shed your loads, someone who's going into renewable energy wouldn't, the will like to power everything at once.
I knew nothing about RE when I started and I learnt how to shed my loads cos I did it myself
I educated my wife on how to go about it too.

I hope they see this and drop their prices and contacts too so I can reach out.
How many years do you think those batteries can go?

I’ll reach out to you again if Fouani is out of stock.

This picture attached what an installer sent to me yesterday when I told him the load I wanted to carry.

Valto and Linnov, please I need these things. What are your best prices please and discounts too?
List out the ones you have and the prices. Thanks.
I need them this weekend.

I also need your phone numbers and your office address to know if it’s something I can come and pick up.
Thank you.

You cannot guarantee the cc in some hybrids.
A working system and satisfaction is RE.
BUT I doubt if a 1.5kva can power a 120w freezer?

Yes the 100ah 24v is good also not just a fan of all these wanna be hybrids. If at all am upgrading it either growatt or growatt.

In my opinion, 12v 200ah and 24v 100ah are same.

You have 3 panels right?

Get someone without fear of height and direct the person like a boss.
I found another installer he said I'd need another panel to add to it. Even after showing him your sketch.

According to Heavenlybang, No tubular batteries is 2025. Seems you haven't gone through this thread. Tubular?

Ask him why and get back.

By the way, your cc determines that.

And also, just to rephrase the load for you sir.
2 speakers of 130watts each = 260 watts
2 laptops
3 or 4 bulbs
Phone charging
2 standing fans
And a small size deep freezer
I forgot to add…55 inches smart tv might be added later sir.😃

So true o🤣🤣🤣
But for anything electronics, I dey like leave am for professionals to avoid ‘had I known’

Two other info I need from you sir.

How many years should I expect the battery to last?
Also, how many hours should I expect the system to last when the sun is off, assuming I have all the appliances on at the same time (though I wouldn’t do that)

Unless the ventilation in a building is terribly bad, fans hard turn during raining season or wost case at lowest speed.

Will you play music from morning till night?
Do you work from home?( This means a lot).

Yeah. Music might be played from morning till night. The studio is like a home studio and the producer lives there.

We do night productions sometimes too
But we might not be using the speakers always. We can use headset sometimes or another smaller speaker of 60 watts sometimes.

So, what and what do I need to change in the list you wrote earlier sir?

the best option for u bro
24v 1.5kw hybrid inverter with 40A mppt + 24v 3.5kwh lifepo4 lithium battery =920k
2pcs of 650w or 615w panels from LG


DON'T do 12v

litaninja:

It's a 12v system. And you know how limited they can be.

For example, the PowMr cc that I'm using can only take 720w and 80v max on 12v.

1050w is already oversized, with about 77v.
