🔥 For Those Looking To Go Solar, Here's Everything You Need To Know As A Beginner. *** With the way things are going in our dear country now, the price of running generator could eat really deep into your finances. The removal of subsidy broke the camel's back. - Going solar will help you save huge cost, and help you to stop dragging generator like they drag Apostle Suleiman every time 🤣 Aside the financial aspect, solar requires little to no maintenance. It is worthy to note that even if the cost might be huge in the beginning, investing in solar is a very wise decision, it will save you huge amount of money in the long run. - So, I'm assuming you're either in a 1, 2 or 3 bedroom apartment, and I'm gonna give you the solar inverter requirements for that. - HERE ARE THE THINGS YOU NEED FOR A SOLAR INVERTER SYSTEM: 👉Solar panels 👉Solar inverter 👉Batteries 👉Charge controller 👉Wiring cables 👉Battery rack (recommended) - ⚠️WARNING: Only Buy Known Brands To Avoid Premium Tears 😂 - NOW LET'S CHOOSE THE RIGHT SOLAR INVERTER - ❓NOTE: The electrical loads or appliances in your home determines the type of solar system you should go for. So you have to do the calculation of the total wattage of the appliances you want to use. - 💪PRO TIP: It doesn't really matter the appliances you have, you can still buy a smaller solar system, the technician only has to do the separation in your wiring to avoid overload. *** SOLAR INVERTER SYSTEM FOR A 1-2 BEDROOM FLAT WITH LESS THAN 1,000 WATTS OF TOTAL APPLIANCES RUN AT THE SAME TIME (The setup below could carry this total load amount for an hour plus, so reduce the load for longer hours) Here's how I count it, for a single 220AH battery, 100 watts of appliance will drain a 1,200 watts inverter system in 10-20 hours. (Open for criticism) - So, let's get started... - ✅For One Battery, Get A 12V 1.5kva Solar Inverter... So that you can add one extra battery later without buying a new inverter - N150k-N160k (This is a rare type of luminous inverter, you might not see it.) ⚠️WARNING: Avoid inverter that thunder use to fire 🤣 - ❓NOTE: 1.5kva is also 1,200 watts, so do not attempt to use an appliance close to this wattage on this inverter system, OYO is your case if you do 🤣 ✅1X220AH Battery - N200k Upwards (Dry or wet cell, they say wet cell is better) ✅2-4 Solar Panels Of 300 Watts Each - Upwards Of N90k Per Panel (THE MORE PANELS, THE BETTER - To maximize the sun ☀️) - N180k-N360k ✅Charge Controller - Budget N60k+ (Buy higher AMPS of up to 100AMPS, in case you need to upgrade later) ✅Battery Rack For Two Batteries - Budget 30k (This will elevate and protect your battery from the floor) ✅Wiring Cables And Workmanship - Budget N80k-N100k Upwards (Transportation Included) - 🎉TOTAL ESTIMATED COST WITH SOLAR PANELS: N730k-920k 🤓WITHOUT PANELS: N550k, you can buy panels later if you don't have the complete money now. - TIP: Use Piggyvest, opay, or alat by wema bank to save towards it. - Adding solar panels is highly recommended for peace of mind. It charges the batteries when there's no NEPA light, which will help you almost stop buying fuel completely. - With this set up above, if you use one TV of about 150 Watts, 1 Dstv, 1 rechargeable fan, you can enjoy power for up to 4-5 hours on a full charge. If you don't use your TV, maybe just 1 laptop, rechargeable fan and a few light bulbs, you could enjoy 24/7 light without buying fuel for months. However, if you add one extra battery, you could double the amount of back-up power you enjoy. - And now, with a solar system, comes new responsibility. You have to learn how to manage your usage, your back up power is limited 😅 Use low wattage, energy saving and rechargeable appliances. *** 👉What if you live in a bigger apartment, like 2-3 bedroom flats with bigger appliances like AC, Refrigerator? Simple, according to the wattage of the bigger appliances, upgrade your inverter and add more batteries with extra solar panels. For example, if you want to use an inverter AC of up to 1,000 watts, and 1 fridge of up to 150 watts, you should get nothing less than a 3.5kva(3,000 watts) inverter, 4 batteries of 220AH, not less than 8 solar panels of 300 watts each. - ⚠DON'T FORGET, your total appliance usage at a time shouldn't exceed or even near the wattage of the inverter, this will prevent damage. Tell your technician to separate the heavy appliances from the inverter in your house connection. (We also do that) *** I hope this post helps you choose a solar inverter system that will save you money and bring you and your family rest of mind. - Feel free to ask me any question or solar experts recommendations in the comment section below. - 🙏Please share this post to help others as well, sharing is caring. . . .
