Please house,
Since we have Inverter fridge, Inverter ac etc
Is there Inverter hot plate?

I don't think so BUT you could use an Induction Cooker which is energy friendly enough to pass as Inverter Friendly

Get an induction cooker now, at least u will have the privilege to control/program running wattage to 400, 500, 800, 1000watts respectively

Thanks but the problem with them is the "surge". Do you use it personally? Further input will be much appreciated.

Bro I hail o.
Do you have a personal review on it?
I need sth that won't surge.
Thanks

Even low power pressing iron self dey (300w). I dey look for this low power inverter friendly hotplate too o. Please if you discover this inverter friendly hotplate share with me.
Thanks Bro

I have the 300w iron by qasa.
The last shortage of gas in Lagos the last time reset my brain. No wahala bro.

Trippledots:
8kwh lithium
3.5kva hybrid 24v
4kwp solar panels.

All this should cost around #2.3m if you know where to look.

Installation charges and accessories can take another, maybe #300k- 500k

Thanks chief, I'm towing that path right now.

How good is the performance of the pressing iron bro?

Normally, I try to only make RESPONSEs that would be useFul to more people.

Now, He said he got 1.2 Million naira, and going by the stated Load, he would not be able to easily afford a solar setUp even with said 1.2-million naira.

Now those in our line of Business (aka solar installers) do understand USEd Solar Panels are always in demand - enter market make you see as people dey buy am like water. You go order like 30pcs think say you don buy market till you see another wey buy pass you.
Guess what, a lot of them ends up being sold as brand new.

As per why I still use Tubular and lead Acid batteries even in 2025, that's because not all of us are financially Fluid. Some people could easily raise 1.5-million naira and should anythng go wrong, can raise same or more almost immediately.
Then there are those of us that would need several months to save up 1-million naira; and should anything go wrong, na to wait till further notice.

Also e get those of us wey be say we no fit easily survive a single failure in our system

e.g a single cell of 3.2v for instance could be the only thing making your 7.5kw lipo4 battery to stop working HENCE you either replace the entire thing, or look for where to do cell extraction both of which ain't CHEAP at all.
Now imagine say na 4 strings of Lead Acid / Tubular batteries, and one of them goes bad, na to replace just that one (don't bother telling me it's MIXing old and new batteries) or temporarily downGrade. So you see, me (and I know I'm not alone) no get that kind money.

same goes with using hybrid inVerters with it's baked in charge Controller; a single fault to the inverter or charge Controller is akin to putting all your eggs in a single basket - I rather pay more to have 2 separate systems, than a single one even if it's seems CHEAPer.

Also same with very large solar panels, I rather go with 4pcs of 450w Solar panels, than 2pcs of 900watts Solar panels which would still give a total of 1,800 watts. You know why, because among other things, a single solar panels going bad either means You loose either 900w or just 450w.

Even in computers, I prefer having 2 sticks of ram each being 32GB than a single 64GB ram stick.
in fact if said computer got space for 4 ram sticks, I would go with 4pcs of 16GB rams.

Another issue I got with Hybrid inverters is, they are more fragile, and expensive + chances of successful repairs is often very low. Funny enough, I never use am personally before BUT no be all of us need chop before we know the taste of the pudding. Imagine buying an Inverter for 500,000 naira make e come burn or spoil and after so much stress, you come receive news say na to change board (not cheap) or complete replacement

Mind you, difference between a brand new, and Used solar panels is NOT often much judging from their outPut.

Also, Difference between Lithium batteries, and Tubular / LeadAcid batteries ain't much - You think it's much because they want you to THINK so. Major difference is DOD which is 50 in non Lithium based batteries and 80 in Lithium batteries.

Once again, most people got no need for Bi-facial solar panels. Always buy (half-cut) MONO Solar panels.

of course, all the above no concern those wey get better Money.

MAKE I STOP HERE FOR NOW

Want to presume a lot of us do understand all the Rubbish wey I dey talk. Those wey I pity na the innocent Ones wey dey try follow crowd.

The fact that you didn't let your emotions get the better of you with this response says a lot. Welldone bro. You perspectives are valid and I appreciate the balance you bring to conversation on this thread.

Folks wey no too get money no go see the thread run 😂😂. There's always something for everyone. #ValueForMoney

To me it is ok.
At least it smoothens clothes but for thicker or stubborn "streaks" I spray in water.

no surge Baba, I use one right now

it's what I use. Or was using till a relative Visited and left with it. To buy another one dey hard me because it ain't cheap at all. Me dey wait after December, so no more visitors.

it's a whole lot energy friendlier THAN normal electric cooker. Mind you, e dey select pot Ooo but that's not an issue.

Never used mine with battery Ooo. Na mostly during the day when the sun is up

you don't wanna get predictAble. Do You ?

Trippledots:
Is this what you needed me for? Get a WiFi power monitor or the manual variant. You can use it to achieve this.

Please I wanted to use an AC contactor that's why I need your help

Great!

Thank you very much

From experience those hot plates attached to cooking gases are also energy efficient as they can be regulated to reduce power consumptions. The hot plate on my gas’s cooker consumes 1kw at maximum and 200w at lowest. Induction cooker also has regulators to control power consumptions but may require special cooking pot to achieve optimum temperature.

Hybrid inverter are fixable.

Or rather there are some that are more fixable than the other.

Omo na to go check my solar panels be this after the rain o, which kind breeze be this?

no amount of Breeze fit make me go check my solar panels. Except the breeze comot the roof, no shaking

Abi na properly mounted bi-Facial solar panel you dey use ?

If you are starting your journey start right.
I am talking as an Installer, Marketer, products review and an End user who has been in system for over a decade.

Do not buy USED Panels, unless it's given for free, or you know when the owner bought it and the source!

Start with LIfePo4 Batteries because it solves so many problems and it it's the key element in the solar set up.

Inverters Hybrid Inverter are better and cheaper options don't get carried away..

omo e tear one old roof for my estate sef. I use cworth 450w mono panels. Already checked and everything is fine and firing charge as usual.

Installed on almost flat roof without any strings attached to roof, na hurricane go fit comot am. The weight of panels are enough to survive high winds. Am not sure of those send down the rain roofs oo.

As a diy,
Used panels are great even cracked ones will not disappoint. Used panels pass some repackaged new ones. Some used panels' spec s are too sweet. Your pocket controls alot. What matter is satisfaction and yield enough to charge your batteries. Use ur sense.

I own a 3.5kva Generator, my inverter is 24v 4.2kva. No matter what I do it won't charge from the generator. Even with charging current lowered to 20 amps.

Whenever I turn on I always hear a clicking sound from the inverter and the light will be flickering. My system is grid only for now. How do I go about this?
