Am just curious, why do most battery within Nigeria all stop at 48v and not 96v.

Most commercial/industrial setups might require higher voltages, but due this low voltage limitations implementation and design might be rigorous

Where are the 96v inverters?

There used to be 96v upto 120v TF based inverters but now they seem to be very special request.

This is 24kw of inverters, I suppose? Why exactly does a residential building need this much power.

hmm n de tend to balance well. Do u monitor the individual 12v batteries
I have an external equalizer that has a screen on it that shows me each battery’s voltage. I also, from time to time, go to the batteries to measure their voltage with my volt meter to make sure the reading is accurate and indeed the equalizer keeps all of them in thesame voltage.

ACs, water heaters

My guy's home total load is 22kw if everything is on
Just a small duplex.

So I can understand 24kw inverter.

Our energy needs differs. Just as you wonder what on Earth one will do with 24000w worth of energy, is the same you will wonder what some will do with less. what we do with energy is fully dependent on us either big or small.

If I am not mistaken, That's 40kW not 24kW.

this is a lot of Load o.

He would probably be needing a personal transformer as per regulations

He's commenting about the inverters not the battery backup.

I must admit I find it surprising someone in their personal capacity, in this day and age, would need to switch on so much simultaneously....he must have either a really big mansion or a large family.

Good day guys, I wanna install 10 585w jinko panels and a growatt 5kva inverter plus a growatt hope 5kwh battery. What should I budget for installation and accessories? I’m getting crazy quotes. Thanks
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Collione: 12:10pm On Jul 08, 2025
Hi guys. Been asking some questions for the last few days and some or most have not been responded to. I apologise if it has been a lot but I'm a novice who wants to upgrade from a 1kva to a 3.5 or 5kva and I really need help. I'm definitely using lithium batteries and 5 units of 550watts Canadia panels and the whole shibang but what I can't figure out is the inverter itself. My current 1kva is transformer based and has been very reliable never had a hiccup (Sinergy brand) but realistically transformer inverters are expensive and my installer mentioned that he doesn't have much confidence in hybrid inverters but would prefer a non hybrid paired with a charge controller. My question is this . Can a high voltage inverter take the same load as a low voltage. I mostly need it for ironing clothes with is around 1700watt and boiling water 1500watt , microwave and air fryer 1100 watt each with a 1hp AC which I'll purchase down the line. these are my daily useable. My Second question is can a 3.5kva inverter take the same load

The inverters is what I mentioned their capacities too, they should be 10kW each.

All these you have said without a budget still has no bearing. Because at the end of the day, what you can afford is what you can afford. Woth these your stated load, your inverter should start from 5kw upwards. What is your budget last last?

Budget is very important like the person above said and will probably dictate your choice at the end of the day.

I can see why your installer is recommending not going with hybrid seeing the pattern of use you have described, but the truth is hybrids have come a long way now and people who think like him are stuck in the past.

In short, the advantage of the kind of setup he has recommended to you is that it is more flexible and if anything goes wrong with either the transformer based inverter or the external controller, it will be easier to get fixed in general. Thus it will be easier for him to meet and service your needs. However you are likely to spend more purchasing both separately unless you buy used products.

Mention your budget first though and people will properly advise you.

Picture from a 3.3Kw inverter. 01 fault code is just because my low voltage alarm was set to ~24.5v.

That's for a load test, though. I generally keep my inverter at max of ~1.7kw otherwise, but it's just to show you that it's doable.

You can also consider a 5kw inverter in a 48v setup so you have more headroom.

I was actually looking down on 3.5kva cos of my load but I'm glad it's doable I'm considering it based on my budget atm

Just make sure you buy a solid hybrid inverter. You get what you pay for at the end of the day.

My budget is 400k for a hybrid inverter 5kva 48v. Originally my installer quoted me 395k for a 5kva 48v felicity hybrid inverter but if just been worried because it's high frequency. I also got information from someone who told me to try blue power inverter that it's hybrid transformer based but I don't know anything about the product

You wont get a low frequency inverter at your budget. Low frequency is for starting motor loads that need high surge power like Sumo, non inverter AC or fridges. Most new appliances does not require surge current to start so you should be okay. Buy what you can afford now and upgrade as time goes.

I use Hisense airfryer.

Wattage fluctuates between 1300w to 1600w based on set temperature.

Since the maximum I usually have it on, at a time, is 17 minutes, I'm not that bothered.
