Since usage is mainly for day time and on your strict budget, consider this:

* 12v 3000w (1500w continuous) pure sine wave sachet Inverter (Contact Valto or IInnov8)

* Powmr 60a Charge controller aluminium body type (contact Iinnov8)

* 2 panels preferably Jinko 525w or 530w,as you said (connection would most likely be in parallel because of voltage limit for 12v system)

* Cworth 12.8v 100ah Battery (contact Dam5reey)

* then use the remaining money to sort out accessories and installation

Cheers.

Seunmuham follow this advice or alternatively,

Get an Itel power tank 1kwh comes with a 500w inverter all in one system for 304k ( inbuilt lithium battery )

1 500w panel at 100k ish.

It's a very good and efficient system. Do more research on tiktok and YouTube.

You can unplug and move at the end of every business day, but e get small weight sha 😂

I think it will be perfect for phone charging business.

Betnomore:
It's not there. I've decided to go with the haisic but the person they referred me to I don't like his response when it came to to us agreeing on how to go about the sale. Or maybe na just clash of egos shaa. I don't want to go into details but if I can get someone else here to buy it from, no problem

It's available on Jumia too

Tover:
That is the router I am taking about, does anyone here using it and able to band lock

Go to developer option, put in your password and you should see it.

My bro, you say kindly? Lolz...if I like make I no do am.

On a serious note, I have done some research, I am not saying cworth is great, but from the capacity tests (usually for smaller capacity batteries) I've seen, it has done slightly better than felicity.

Please if you have evidence to dispute this based on your own research, kindly share.
Thank you

It's ok since you've done your research & are satisfied. It was just a piece of advice.

bizzlemie:
Has anyone tried Airtel's 100mbps plan? How is it compared to the 50mbps plan?

Obviously more bandwidth but expect speed cap at 1tb

sofdoc1:
Thanks your response, I wanted to go for Felicity products too, but based on some research, I learn that their batteries do not give out the full capacity as stated on rating.

It appears c worth is doing well in that regard. And as for service centers, I browsed and saw cworth have one in lekki.

Do you have any experience using the product?

Kindly do more research on Cworth actual capacity sha...

fuckboys:
Good morning my chairmen them, where can I get this in lithium battery or have it built with lithium battery?

I don tire to dey change this fan battery every 4 months.

Available on Jumia for cheap. And yes the internal charging system will charge it. Just connect red to red and black to black and voila.

Been using mine for close to a year now. Lasts about 5hrs on a full charge. My fan is rated 40w. More recent ones draw as low as 25w so would probably last longer.

adibo:
Thanks a lot for the feedback. Did you install an external circuit breaker by yourself for protection?

You mean between inverter and battery? No I didn't. Mostly for 24v it's not compulsory. The battery has an on and off button and that's enough.

For higher voltages it's highly recommended.

blessed2012:
Hi all,

Please I want to move from Tubular to Lithium batteries, 5Kwh. Assist me with any reliable and cost effective plugs.

Thank you.

Contact local builders here for 'reliable and cost effective' 5kwh.

Valto and Mrreed.
There's another guy Isangjohn or something but I haven't seen his post in a while.

ernxto:
When did they promise this?

Check previous posts. It was a promo offer to some users. I got the offer.

Dam5reey:
Haisic 25.6V 9kwh, In for Science!

I just love the aesthetics of this Haisic battery.

Let's see if Airtel will honor their promise by giving next month free for those that renewed their sub latest 31st of January.

Fingers crossed.

adibo:
Just wanted to ask for your experience with the lithium battery you are using. Don't want to offend anyone, that's why I wanted to ask you about it privately

Oh. It's been great. No issues at all. Bms is rated for 200amps, I've done up to 173 amps discharge and it took it like a champ.

Comes with a display & monitoring via jk bms app on phone. Best deal ever!

I don't know if Mrreed changed cases for recent models, mine aesthetically is 10/10. Highly recommended at that price ✌🏾.

fuckboys:
I renewed my subscription today via Smartcash as usual and I wasn’t given the 10% discount.

Is it a one time thing?

I renewed today and got my discount as usual.
Did you follow the correct procedure of doing the sub from the My airtel app?
Make sure u have the amount on ur smartcash,
Open the Airtel app, then choose the Smartcash option, input ur password and voila.

Mind you, sometimes you have to close and reopen your smartcash to see the discount of 2,500 waiting in the balance.

morikee:
I hope i won't get into any trouble living my ODU on for 3 days+ last time i left my MTN 5G Router on for 30 days naso as i reboot am e no on again it's still softbrick and can't fix it

I set mine to automatically reboot once every week atleast.

adibo:
Good evening. Sorry, I sent an email. Just want to ask a few questions if you don't mind

Hi. Just got your notification. I am sorry I lost access to the email on this account. But you can go ahead and ask your questions here if you don't mind.

bassdow:
Most of us don't even need power from sunDown to sunUp.

Some no dey too dey house sef and when they come home, they're too tired before 12am, the entire houseHold has gone to bed. As for those with young kid(s) who do morning routines + school runs where they need boil water and the likes, they now need decide if they do those with inverter or not.

A lot of us have batteryBanks that are just there to make us feel good when you tell people the KVA of our installation

Your last line got me laughing 😂

But yes you're right for people working and are barely home.

Boss…
Do Haisic have like 48v hybrid inverter 5kva
Haisic 48v 5kwh Lithium battery since I will want to expand later I’m thinking 48v is what I should go for please help

I am not sure about 48v Haisic hybrid inverter.

Like someone gave an opinion above, when going 48v you have to go all out for the best else it defeats the purpose. There's Growatt, Srne, Felicity, Firman, Deye and the likes.

Mind you 5kwh will most likely not be able to power you comfortably from Sundown to sun up, unless on very strict energy management.

Quoting oga dollarnaira himself, solar na sense. So do your energy audit and know the battery capacity that will comfortably meet your needs.

adrusa:
Correct. Actually, when we talk of KWh, the voltage doesn't count. So, 8KWh at 1V is more than 4KWh at 1000V. I think the mistake is in thinking in terms of AH where the amount of KWh or energy is dependent on the voltage. 250AH at 48V will be more than 400AH at 24V for instance. But when we talk of KWH, the voltage and the AH had been factored in. So, the higher KWH always give more energy.

However, 48V has some other ancillary advantages over 24V, but not in terms of overall energy.

Yes. A 48v system overall has it's advantages in terms of efficiency and wire cost (Which is negligible in a small system) however 8kwh 24v is double the energy capacity of 4kwh 48v and cannot be said to be better in any context as bassdow opined.

The efficiency in this case is very negligible compared to losing precious energy back up by half.

AmazingG007:
Thank you sir….are you saying this Haisic product is more good than the felicity product because in term of price there almost at the same range I just want the best product in my budget range of 1.5 to 2m at max

My recommendation is according to your budget sir.
Felicity from your quote is 5kwh which is way less than 8kwh, while being more expensive @ 1m compared to 850 - 870k for more. An 8kwh battery will last you longer, almost twice what a 5kwh battery will do. (Also, do your research on Felicity lithium batteries bearing in mind true and actual capacity).

That said, Haisic 8kwh is said to be 280ah which is actually 7kwh true capacity but is a far better deal.

The best deal of all is Mrreed's @ 870k with true rated capacity of 8.1kwh. I'll recommend this from personal experience.

Mind you, this recommendation is strictly on 24v, & from personal experience since your load is less than mine. There are other available products in the market that can serve you too but you probably need to up your budget above 2m.

If you're going with my recommendations, you can contact Dam5rey (Solaris Surge) trusted here for your stuffs (Inverter, protection box & batteries ) at very good prices, then for Mrreed his contact is readily available too. Source panels from Fouani store, installer from your location and you're good.

this go still confuse a lot of us including experts amongst us. Just give them this

48v 4kwh is better than 24v 8kwh

Ah = (kWh * 1000) \ V

using above formular 48v 4kwh gives 83.3Ah WHILE for 24v 8kwh it's 333Ah. Also the 48V comes with lots of better advantages than 24v. The only one better than 48V is something higher than 48V e.g 96v or even 50v if you see am.

All na marketing, advertising a product as 24v 8kwh appears much more appealing than 24v 333Ah and when the likes of us talk, those wey don position demSelves to benefit go begin itch for brain.

We don talk am plenty times, the higher the voltage, the more efficinet the conversion is. anyOne who's played with the likes of LM7805, MT3608, etc can't easily miss not knowing the above directly or indirectly.

Take a break bro....coz wetin be this ?

Coz wtf did you just do hahaha

bassdow:
at the price of 70,000 naira per 350w solar panel, na you dey loose Ooo.
Go for atLeast 500w or 450w Solar panels new or used.

you didn't indicate if what you were being offered is NEW or USEd.

Also for your load type, 5KVA is just a baseline. Should work doesn't mean the system would be comfortable. To have some headRoom, go for 6.5KVA, or 7KVA and above.

Also would suggest you go for 48v even if it means going for a lower battery capacity e.g instead of 24v 8kwh, go for 48v 4kwh BUT if you have more funds, try go for something higher than 4kwh at 48v but at all at all, 48v 4kwh is better than 24v 8kwh.

First of all, kindly inform us if what you being offered is NEW or USED; don't wanna assume

How is 48v 4kwh better than 24v 8kwh

AmazingG007:
Good afternoon sir….my Budget is around 1.5 to 2m and I want the set up in a 3 bedroom apartment in Ibadan….my appliance are one 65inches Hisense smart TV and a 50 inches normal Hisense TV not going to use the 2 at once tho, a PS4 game, one 201L Hisense Freezer LG washing machine, thermocool gen pal 1hp inverter AC and blender 2 fans that’s all I want to use it for

Someone is offering me felicity 5KVA hybrid inverter for 550k and 5kwh felicity battery for 1m and 8 pieces of 350w panels for 70k each for 560k not sure the name of the panels then 100k for installation I don’t know if that’s a good deal and if the products are reliable….please advise sir’s

Haisic 24v hybrid inverter 4.2kva 350k
Haisic 24v 8kwh Lithium Battery 850k
Alternatively Mr reed's 24v 8kwh lithium 870k
Jinko solar panels 535w bifacial 4 pieces 430k
Materials and installation 200k ish

And you're all set.

If you can expand your budget and you're looking at taking on bigger appliances later in the future then just go for 48v system.

moremuch1:
They said I have to sub for two years before the device becomes mine and they have the right to retrieve it if I fail to sub for three months, I just dey look dem dey laugh 😂

For Nigeria where dem dey beat nepa😂😂

Funny but crazy though. Pipo dey beat Nepa back then fr. Wild wild 9ja 😀😀

DutchNegro:
I think the Starlink mini is 400k with a subscription.

What are the advantages of the standard over the mini.

Pros;
Longer distance wifi coverage,
More bandwidth allocation...

Cons;
Less portable

Gidah:
5th day of max 1mbps , cant stream 480p its buffering .my subscription is less than 10 days old .MTN Fibre just went live for my Area ,guess I will port, the amount of credit ive used in calling airtel is alarming

When you contact Airtel via X dm, they'll 1st ask u to provide phone number for checks. Tell them it's not unique to your line that it's a general issue with your area. Then they'll provide you with something like this below.

After filling out the form, they will look into it and surely resolve it within 24-48hrs. No dey gree for that phone number checks 😀

It's the only way I get solutions from them and it works all the time. No stress.

Tover:
U get brain 🧠 , I am thinking of buying another one instead of paying 25k for subscribing

Yes o. Just don't have need for a 2nd one. Else would have gone for it.

NSEstudent:
Yes. Apparently we get what we pay for.

True. My network has been quite stable since November save for 2 days & evening drop to 2mbps.

NSEstudent:
So when they said if no subscription they will take it back, what would they do if they come around and see that the reason it's not being subscribed is because the battery is dead and they don't have spare parts? They are not serious at all.

I already see people selling the routers in black markets for mere 40k and stuff.

This is why Starlink is thriving. Small issues they will change the entire package for you, free of charge.

Omo Starlink is 600k o with subscription fee more than double that of Airtel and without ups.

Airtel is basically free. You can easily get another one with the next month sub if you wish.

Any link to a reputable Solar panel seller in Asaba? preferably Jinko, Zn Shine or Longi?

Update;
Finally got the Jinko 535w bifacial panel direct from Fouani store.

etcme:
I have been able to shift the ODU to a new location in my room and the network seems to be stable now unlike the pass 3 days.

But a new problem, my phone keeps disconnecting every 5 minutes while the router is still active and working.

Any solution to this?

Go into your IDU page and turn off the option to optimize wifi
