Person wey go use the phrase (to be used anytime I want to wash) need get enough funds for battery else jejely just run am for day time

Same with your Freezer, Run between the hours of 9am to 4pm and switch it off and tell your houseHold to reduce how they open it so it doesn't defrost anyHow

Also your pumping machine should only be run during the Day.

This your "Budget is like 1.2M" na something else in today's economy BUT make we see wetin we fit cook out of am

Hopefully those with better knowledge can contribute also.

So what?

What exactly is this supposed to mean? Shut him up?

I do read some of his write-ups and I like it cos I learn one or two things, even while some can be too long and off point at times, I can just scan through it. But that doesn’t mean his contributions aren’t worth it.

I will rather hear everyone’s opinion than being a one-track-minded person who will believe everything in a faceless forum.

So please let him be, if you don’t like his opinion, block him or ignore. Shikena.

ask4bk:
Is blocking a possibility here? Pls teach me how, master

Nothing wrong in quoting oneself to drive home a point. Yes, some views from chief bassdow sometimes tends to be too subjective and extreme to me. However, if you are observant, you will note that he is quite consistent overtime and undeniably knowledgeable in this field.

clevermugu:
he is not knowledgeable . anyone following his weird opinions on this thread, gonna learn,and will learn in a hard way!!

bassdow:
why not drop us your load so we know ? Requirements could still widely vary among 2 people with same or similar load.

For instance, what time of day are you likely to draw more power ?

The ice block making machine I once helped setup runs mainly Day and Night, but mostly more during the day while Night is mostly to maintain the Ice.

Another person using same capacity 2 Air Conditioners might not need such long runtime.

Also all Air Conditioners ain't built equal

i use 6 panels and a 7.5kw lipo4 battery. for home use. for factory use like yours, you may need times 3 or 4 my setup. use ChatGPT. give it your setup including wattage for each equipment and AI will advise you.

Before now, I make use of 4 pieces of 615w jinko panel but 2 days ago I decided to add extra 4 pieces of 615w jinko due to bad weather this season after installation I was able to pull 2.47kw despite the bad weather

micxwell:
Who did you buy your Jinko solar panel from chief?

I want to start my journey with N2,500,000. My loads is just about 650w, If I'll run it 24hours I'll have 5000wh max (Inverter idle load of 35w inclusive)

1. Digital Timer Switch
Price: 10,500
You can use this device to set the time, duration and even date that certain devices (such as referigerator, starlink, etc) come on and go off. Particularly useful when you have to go to work or go bed, but you want those devices to come on and go off by themselves.

2. Power Meter
Price: 13,000
Use this device to see how much your appliances consume in watts. You can also input your energy bill in kwh and track how much it costs you to run an appliance on a daily, weekly or monthly basis

3. 60a PowMr MPPT Solar Charge Controller (Updated firmware version)
Price: 97,000
Comes with complimentary battery voltmeter worth 4,000

HeavenlyBang:
650w for 24 hours is closer to 20kwh when you factor in inverting losses.

ask4bk:
What kind of maths is this?
If you run 650w for 24hrs that is 15.6kw.
Over night consumption will be about 8.5kw

You need a good and complete 15-16kw LFP to start this your journey.
Lucky for you, i know a guy doing promo that this your money will give you that battery plus 6kw Growatt inverter.

Update.... I've seen the rest of your story.
There's still a 10kw battery and same Growatt inverter promo that you can jump on before it finishes

micxwell:
Where's the deal?

ask4bk:
LVTOPSON 15kwh (tested and complete) + 6kw Growatt inverter surprisingly for about 2.5 m.
10kwh with same 6kw Growatt for about 2.3

Mek dem no bannn me oh

Prices below are a MIX of NEW and USEd items since your max budget is kinda low

a. 8pcs of 350-watts panels (Prices range from 45,000 naira though if you sabi waka + depending on your location, you fit get am 40,000 naira)
Assuming 45,000 naira x 8= 360,000 naira
If buying brand new, go for like 6 pcs of 585-watts Solar panels.
Also just focus on normal Mono or half-cut Mono solar panels. Don't bother about Bi-Facials.

b. MPPT charge controller 48 volts 60A though would suggest 80A : Just budget at least 200,000 naira. if you see used, you same some change.

c. Inverter: 3.5kw at 48v. Whether going HYBRID or not is your decision to make. Just budget 200,000 naira for used ones.

d. Batteries: Always BUY brand new ones except you know what you doing WHICH doesn't seem to be the case here.
Tubular: 8 pcs of 12v 200AH . You could go lower e.g just 4pcs BUT understand the more the longer.
Lithium: 48v 400Ah or slightly lower
As for costs, anything wey remain, na here you go plug am.

As for other things such as installation kits, racks, cables, etc; let's leave that for your installer as they are variables.

Hopefully those with better knowledge can contribute also.

Don't forget:

1. Pumping machine should be run during the day under healthy sunLight OR just use generator for this.

2. if you could afford to, especially if your battery bank is slim, run the Washing Machine during the day.

3. Also except your battery bank is enough, limit the Freezer to between 10am to 3:30 to 4pm daily

4. if you get money, and trust your source, go Lithium else nothing much bad about non Lithium based batteries so long you go for quality.


NB: Mind you, the price ranges quoted are all for USEd items with almost no compromise. Most times, output from a USEd solar panel vs Brand new ones are barely visible.

Also, You MUST NOT use as high capacity battery as quoted. in fact, you could even use just 4pcs of Tubular batteries, or a smaller Lithium battery AND further increase the Solar panel count. Just do yourself some Good and also increase the charge controller to at least 100A

1. why suggesting used solar items in 2025 ?

2. suggesting separate Cc and used inverter, yet another redacted belief , when he easily get himself a good 48v hybrid inverter and save money.

3. suggesting tubular to someone in 2025, when lithuim battery prices has crashed.

i still stand on my earlier post. anyone in this thread who follows the opinion of this guy @bassdow, gonna learn ,and will learn in a hard way!

350w usedpanels? when there is brand new jinko 530w panels for 89k. from personal experience Bi-facial performs better than the same rating of mono both on roof and on carport. quit this your olden days notions.
