jamesid29: Sorry for the late response Chief. I no too dey check Nairaland like before again. Na just now I see your response.
Yeah, wanted to see if we could negotiate on the one you had so I can test it out before ordering the 14 I needed.
But no issues boss, I don sort am out. Thanks for the recommendation. I really appreciate it 🙏🙏 Alright, cool. Which did you eventually buy and how much? |

adrusa: I have been on solar for more than 10 years and have been 99% dependent on solar for more than 4 years, yet my people have never learnt to conserve energy. 5KVa inverter will carry all my load but I got 7.5Kva becuase my people will turn on Kettle, Microwave and Toaster at the same time even when Water Heater is running in the morning.
With a fridge and freezer, TV, light, fan and phone charging, 10KWh consumption per family per day will be conservative. People tend to underestimate their power need when planning solar installation. Your power use will grow with solar or with constant NEPA. I must very lucky. Those in the house even know when to turn off the freezer when the weather is cloudy. |

GloryJoyeux: Hi,
The sad part about solar people hardly talk about and for the one's that talk about it, people hardly listen.
It is a known fact, that energy consumption increases after solar installation. A simple online search will show many articles on this fact.
This is why it is recommended to, as a bare minimum start with 24v but if its possible just go 48v all out at once.
Solar is more expensive if you start on 12v or 24v and your energy demand increases so much that you may need 48v for efficiency. And then, if total load requires 36kw peak and above, then a higher voltage is even better. That's why most inverters above 20kw are HV inputs.
Solar can be cheap, if you get it right the first time. It can also be costly and take up more space per kwh if you undersized from the get go.
Cheers While I get and agree with your point, I don't think everyone should be advised to go big or go home, from the get go. There will be mistakes made and it's actually cheaper to do all the experiments and learnings on a budget or "small" system. With time comes wisdom and with wisdom comes capacity. |

Pbaelish: Hello to everyone.pls is it possible and ok to use a 48v lithium battery with a 24v inverter,a friend said his installer said its ok. he was using 24v 400ah tubular before and just got 48v 5kwh lithium so i thought he will need to change inverter but he said the installers said no need. Appreciate your answers for clarification.  |

500w/1kwh Lithium/500w solar panel- #500k 1.5kw/1.2kwh/ 1000w solar panel- #730k
These are small systems that will power your fan and light and keep the home running on a budget. All are lithium battery packs so years and years of use.
Bigger capacities are also available for those that want to have a bespoke design.
I'm an installer and a renewable energy expert, so if anybody wants to have some rest from heat and phone battery percentage tension, let's talk. |

ceejay80s: Country hard , not everyone has the money and if they have the money, they don't have the mind or guts Lol, my brother. Everything is planning. And there are relatively cheap solutions. It will definitely cost one some sort of sacrifice to go for a better life. Even food wey you go chop, you go still de reason how to optimize the money spent. There are small systems that one can get for 500k, and it will power basic items comfortably for years to come. Na planning, bro. |

ceejay80s: I tried it yesterday and it didn't burn, the only thing is that the ups didn't go off cos it's connected to electricity and we had light, I can only power off the ups mode and if u switch it off from the phone when there's light it won't go off but when Nepa take the light the ups mode won't come on because it's still off from ur phone Beautiful. So I was wrong and we have a solid base for reference. Nice one. |

Dude, your reality isn't mine. Wether you know him or sleep with him is non of my business. I have written down my experience in a public space, and that is what I have shared. |

ceejay80s: I have about 3 or 4 ups, U why I say it won't destroy it, solar charge controller is also connected to the battery and it I put it off from phone the charge controller display goes off as well, it won't charge same with the ups, switches off, The digital display on charge controller comes back on when I put it back on from phone I will use one for testing, I doubt it will destroy the ups Ok. You can try it when there there is light. Turn off the NEPA, switch off the battery, then turn on the NEPA supply. Atleast, if one burns, we will have proof, and you have another one to replace it with. If it doesn't burn, we will also learn that I was wrong. |

ceejay80s: If u dey live close to Ikotun/igando/egbeda Lagos u fit come do testing I have a battery monitor and some 12v inverters, and can be found along that axis. We can work something out to test the capacity. |
Science/Technology › Re: How To Create A Locally Made Inverter With Ease by Trippledots(m): 6:09pm On Dec 14, 2025 |
ceejay80s: I don't have light now and I tried switching off the ups from my phone and it worked and I dey room ooo, I put it back on from my phone and the ups came back on, Note: the ups switch on the ups itself must be ON I would not advise this. If NEPA bring light when the battery is off, you may destroy the UPS. If you want a remote operation of your power, you can get a smart socket and control the output from anywhere in the world. Also monitor some other power parameters. |

ceejay80s: I don't need to be dishonest with reviews, No be my papa get the battery company, That's why all I see it does, I send screenshots as the way it is on my phone app, As for load, I no wan overload am with too many appliances cos na small battery I buy, The big TV in sitting room is off when there's no light, so I power with either the 19inch small TV in sitting room and rechargeable fan or with 22inch in bedroom with rechargeable fan and I also use in charging of phones and rechargeable lights all I do is check from the app on my phone how long it will take to before the battery is depleted and if the time is less, I will just reduce load and check time again Except for the sake of backup time, you know that bad boy can take a beating very well, compared to lead acid ba? |

ceejay80s: The message above was this past Sunday ooo, It's ur money , It's their product, Na where u like u go buy And na who wan buy from them , will buy from them, that's how business goes, The truth is , I like the battery and I will buy one more soon It's more expensive buying small ah cells. Naira/eh gets cheaper with bigger ah capacities. Upgrade to a 300ah cell pack or higher for best value for money. |
