Your calculations is not right bros, becos u don't no d conditions giving to the end users that will have access to the power. Actually 100 houses can share 100kw, 50 houses can share 100kw, 20 houses can share 100kw...... This loads can be restricted to each household using prepaid meters(for solar power), for example each household will only be capped at 1kw daily.... With this daily cap.... The users knows how to regulate their loads themselves... The only way this 100kw systems will breakdown is if the household is not restricted... I guess u r an installer so am I, I have done an Installation in one big hostel at yabatek housing 50 self contains rooms, 50kw power systems was use on this project, and we installed meters restricted to 1kw per each apartment daily.... Dis users r been thought on how to economize this small power daily and anyone that roughly uses his 1kw, his power will authomatically cut off, until the next day.
bro how many kwatts will serve a 5 bedroom duplex for at least 15hrs per day, powering every equipment from TVs, dishwasher,washing machine, fridge split ACs etc?

Wow, this is a good development, that agency responsible sure has people that are thinking, i think they should produce this solar grids in larger scale, more also Nigerian government can start partnering with this solar companies, in china, and also lithuim-ion battery manufacturing, what's the point of taking all that loan from china if we can't partner with them.

There is nothing to celebrate here if we look critically at the issues at stake.

This is a federal project, meaning it has the backing of the federal government. Something that needs to be pointed out is that Buhari has not prioritised the building of gas fired power plants in the past 5 years that he has been president.

Gas power plants are what we have that can cheaply provide enough power at affordable costs to meet the energy needs of the country.

Can the people in this community now set up welding workshops or hair dressing saloons based on the electricity they now have? What is the essence of a project that can not spur much needed development and economic activities?

These offgrid solar minigrids are waste of resources.

The battery systems in the picture are based on lead acid batteries, in less than 3 years time those batteries will need to be replaced and by then no one will be interested in providing the funds for the replacement and the people will be back in darkness.

Also the number of solar panels in the picture is inadequate to charge a 100kw system. So the system can not provide 100kw continuously.

The lead acid batteries will be damaged if that system is run beyond 25kw continuously from what I can see in the picture. I will give that system 1 year to pack up due to insufficient float charging of the batteries. The solar panels numbers need to be increased.

The question is why is Buhari not keen on building big gas powered electricity generation plants.

Obasanjo started many power plants under the NIPP scheme, Jonathan completed many of them, the northerners were complaining that the NIPP power plants were in the south where the gas supply is and the projects should be stopped. Buhari has simply stopped further development of the NIPP projects just like the northerners were asking for, why are we cutting out noses to spite our faces?

You're right on regulating the meter for 1KW daily, but that's very poor because it doesn't solve electricity needs if single room with 1 tv that consume 150watts per hour, celling fan 50watts, standard fridge start rate 2kw before return to 200watts.

It's only manage for 25 to 40watts bulbs, charging phone of 5watts per hour, just for mini electricals.

How can a government provide 100kw for community and believe they archive something.

The 1kw regulations as you caculates can serve the people but doesn't solve their electricity needs.

A mini standard room consume 6kw in a 24h , standard fridge run 24 hours on 200watts per hour,100w tv run for 6 hours, 50w celling fan run for 12 hours, 5watts phone charge for 6 hours, caculates and see that 1Kw per a day doesn't solve anything. This is 2020 not 1970.

Our government is disgrace to development.

Let's appreciate good things. The protect is located in a village that means it is trial or test run that may go round and improved upon if successful.

Nigerian government will never stop amazing people; you celebrate or commission 100KW of electricity.

100KW electricity can only be use by 20 houses that consume 5KW hour or by 10 houses that consume 10KW house.

5KW if they have 1 fridge that start with 2Kw and run on 200W, 1 electric kettle that run on 1.2KW, rice cooker 800w, TV and fan with bulb’s have to share remaining 1KW.

If for 10 houses that means houses with 1 fridge that start with 2Kw and run on 200W, 1 electric kettle that run on 1.2KW, rice cooker 800w, 1 deep or standing freezer that start with 3KW, 1 and half horse power splint unity air-conditions 3.5KW, TV and fan with bulb’s have to share remaining.

But here they set this 100KW solar electricity for a community with not less than 100 houses with 3 rooms in each house, plus semi industries such as garri companies and others.

And this is what a government can provide for a community with millions if not billion naira, 100KW is not enough for some house with enough electrical gadgets how much more a community.

That’s why we always hear power grid of here and there because the power company don’t estimate if what they supply can be enough or not, and people don’t care to know how much supply that come to their district all they know is that there’s light. And as soon the transformer carries above rated load it will break off.

The same will happens to this solar as soon it carried over load and the batteries discharge 85% of it power it will trip off until it recharge full again and ready to supply.

By the time everyone in and around this community connect up to 80 to hundred house to share 100KW what do you think that will happens? It will lead to battery damage whether is life4pon or lithium, lithium ion batteries. Nigerian government enjoy half baked project to siphon money.

Anyway with 150% of money use to build this 100KW solar to this community, I can use 150% of the money to provide 2MW of 24/7 electricity to the community for 25 years guarantee of stable light and return back in next 25 years to service it for another 25 years stable light supply.

This 2MW will serve 200 houses with 10KW per house or 400 houses with 5KW per house, no need to connect more than numbers of this house unless there’s increase in the MW. You don’t just connect light because there’s wire with current without knowing budget load of that district.

With our clean energy power plant you will enjoy your 24/7 light, and production companies, hotels, churches and residential home can be at peace knowing they are not spending penny on gas. Serve better than solar because it carries heavy duty electrical appliances.

They know what they're doing. It will soon go moribund. And they will re-award another four or five contracts for its repairs, upgrades etc.

Give it a rest.
How you see governance says a lot about whether you know your rights or not.
Even as a pilot test, it is doomed to fail otherwise the grid should've been limited to not more than the 20-25 houses it can optimally serve. Max, let's say 50 because such a community is not expected to have a plethora of electrical gadgets and advanced user consumption rates. But still, why provide something that'll serve that little and yoke it to so many?
because it's a win: win for the state govt, the contractors, the REA agency and their other cronies come repairs, overhaul and upgrade time.

You are not making sense.

You want to sell an electricity generation system without disclosing the form of input energy?

So what happens when your customer blindly give your money and you supply him with a nuclear power plant that he can not run.

Anyway the cost of this project is not stated, so your claim that you can provide 2mw plant with 150% of a cost that is not stated is suspect already.

The best you can do is stick a wind turbine for them, that is the only system that can be installed anywhere and last 25 years without fuel cost, apart from grid tied solar system. But that will cost you more than 2 million usd

Yes very very reliable, your usage will determine if d battery will live long to 5years or 6yrs or not, agm batteries have a life cycles of 200-500, which will last u for 5-6yrs, if only u use 50-70% at most of the battery capacity, though we dont give warranty on agm/deep cycle batteries, but we do give 5yrs warranty for lifep04 batteries becos it's batteries have a life cycle of between 3500-5500 cycles which is between 13-16yrs but it's very expensive. Dual inverter compressor Ac will help ur system more.

The project will be sustainable if they're productive energy users who will use power during the day, while the battery bank takes care of load usage at night. The solar pv capacity is 100kw, so it can handle load of up to 30kw during the day conveniently. In these communities, they're encouraged to use more power during the day. There are lots of similar projects that are serving the communities for the past 3 years and counting

Any electricity calculation that minus fridge don't have any economic impact to consumer, the number 1 most important impact of electricity to consumer anywhere in the world is economy impact. the community may not need fan because the environment may not be hot to compare area that warm up by technology emissions. even with all your calculation is already above 41.66wats per hour. there's nothing to manage in 1KW electricity my brother. the average standard electricity to manage any where in the world in a single room apartment is 500 watts per hour. this is government project with Tax money not just poor man project.

Because we always celebrate half baked bread that is reason its always given to society. the same way Disco don't calculate the average power to supply to community, sometimes they install 500KVA 220V 3 phase transformer to a district that has industries with not less than 700 houses, before you know it the transformer will trip off. and to community all they know is that there's light without knowing the quantity they get.
