will do

like I mentioned earlier, it took just over a year to collect, cause of my location, if I were in Lagos maybe just one day or two as long as the cash dey o

they are all so-called "dead laptop battery"

not a good option, having 3 different setups in 1 house, omo this your installer, one of his names na kazeeem?, or his uncle ni?
1 simple package is best, would advice you stick to normal ac fans, solar/dc fans are not worth the stress in wiring, unless it has a dc/ac convertor, get 4 x 200ah batt, 6 x 250w panels, a 60amp charge controller, and you shud be fine, but if you are totally offgrid, u can make the panels 8.

33 bulbs!!..& you didnt state the wattage. seems u put bulbs on your fence, would advice you to change the bulbs to 5w or 6w bulbs,
Once again, thanks for your input. I now have two systems. Like I said, I paid for that 33 bulbs package first. It came with 33 LED solar bulbs(DC), 2 controllers, 2 200 amp batteries and 6 100w panels. The bulbs were 5w but very bright. I told him to create a completely new points for the 33 bulbs apart from security lights. He did it in such a way that the security lights goes by 7pm on its own and goes off by 7am on its own. Based on your advice, I now got a new single unit using my fformer 3.5kva inverter. This new company brought 4 200ah ALL GRAND BATTERIES, 6 340W SOLAR PANELS, 60AMP CHARGE CONTROLLER. I TOOK most of the bulbs away from from the unit allowing the initial 33 bulbs to run. So I have tested the two systems but I must confess, the guy with the 33 bulbs system is more reliable and efficient. I would have gone for his other packages. Why? The light is never off come what may. I run a hospital within but we don't put any big thing on the solar inverter other than one computer unit, 2 LED TVs and about 13 ceiling fans with some energy bulbs. But the single unit still trips off sometimes around 4am once there is no light. And you have the inverter to control as you wish. But for the direct solar...no inverter, you have nothing to worry about. You don't care about overloading it. Just on light and go. I think they have calculated it so much cos I begged him to make it 35points even if I will buy the bulbs and other stuffs but he said he was only generating energy to sustain the 33 bulbs for 24hrs. He said he could do it such that the light will only go on when someone enters the room and goes off when they leave but I told him I don't want. It means during the day, as long as someone is in the room, light must go on. Since there is light, we can as well put it off rather than running the battery down fast. So far so good, I have less to worry about the direct solar. Just press switch, you have light. No inverter to beep. Nothing to do at a for now. But the solar inverter ..you need to consider the load so you don't run down the battery fast. For the solar, it has been well structured for you. I am still observing the two systems but so far so good, it has never failed to bring bright lights both day and night. I would have considered his solar fan package too cos he said that one too will run anytime without failure but I didn't believe him.

13 ceiling fans (especially the non energy saving fans which I saw someone selling her for 25k) is approximately 1300W which is a bit high considering the number of batteries you have. Hence the reason it may go off compared to the 5w bulbs system (5w*33bulbs= a mere 165w) whose load is much smaller.

okay. But they are normal ceiling fans. Are there energy saving ceiling fans maybe I can replace all the fans too. The fans are the normal ceiling fans we were using before as well as one small ox fan( the smallest size) which we put off by 11pm. Are u saying someone is selling energy saving fan here for 25k or what?

Yeah, there is someone selling low energy ceiling fans here. And yes, there are low energy fans which don't consume as much energy as the conventional fan.

The 33 bulb package is sound and will not give any issues. I like the fact that it runs directly from the controllers and hence no inverters. The whole 33 bulbs consume just 165watts, on a 12v system, the total amp drawn will not be more than 13.5a. With your battery being 400ah, a 12 hour night use will draw a total of 165ah. That's barely 40% DOD. Meanwhile the 6 solar panels will provide an average of 200ah per day.

For the inverter system things are a bit more complicated. Your load are certainly big, unless you are using a laptop which consumes about 80w, a desktop can consume up to 300w. 13 ceiling fans at an average of 80w, that's over 1000w. Then the LED TVs depending on size and make consumes about 35w each. You are looking at a total load of about 1500w, if running all loads at once. Running 1000w for 8hrs will run your battery down to 80%DOD, at which point your inverter will trip off.
Note that running your battery consistently at 80%DOD will kill your batteries within 6 to 8 months.

You are right. I am beginning to see sense in this. I just don't know how to re plan this. I would have gone with the other packages of that man with direct solar cos he has ready made packages. Like packages for 9 fans, 15 fans etc. Unfortunately, most of our electrical wares runs concurrently. We can have a full ward most times meaning up to 15 fans May even be on at the same time. The two TVs are 42 inches thereabout and usually on concurrently. The computer is almost permanently on. I think that was why separate packages would have been the best for me but I didn't know how to calculate those loads.

I don't know how the other package would have worked. DC loads are only appropriate for small loads, but for loads of up to 1000w, you need an AC inverter system.
Nothing wrong with the inverter system, the only problem is your battery capacity, ie run time. If you can add 4 more batteries and 2 more panels, you should be alright.
In the alternative, you can reduce the load by replacing your appliances with energy efficient ones, change the desktop to laptop, change the fans to energy efficient ones, change the 42 in TV for 32 in ones and change the energy saving bulbs for LED ones. If you can reduce total load to about 700w, you will be OK.

Thanks so much. I will change all the fans In the coming week first to energy saving fans. So also all the remaining bulbs on it. Thanks so much for your input
