There are inverters dat work without batteries? I thought all inverters comes with batteries?
GerogeI:

Solar gets very costly mainly when peeps want to use power at night, meaning they have to store it. Batteries are costly. But you can enjoy solar power in day time, without heavy investment in batteries.

So if you can live with mearsly night power, you can have robust daytime power.
You need inverter and solar charge controller 100k, one or two car batteries 40k ( note you can also use a fairly old car battery, as long as it still gives 12 volts) and as many solar panels as you can get. Buy used panels. The more the solar panels, the more the power, from 10 am to 5 pm. The car battery is just to act as base for the inverter and also to even out instantaneous variation in power production due to changes in sun's intensity. It can charge you phone at night, and provide lighting, but that's it for night use.

Also, there are Chinese solar inverters that can work without batteries when the sun is reasonably bright. But they come in 2kw and 5kw capacities and would burn your whole budget.

Can it operate without solar panels?
I thought he will need panels?

Those acclaimed professionals wouldn't let you achieve your dreams.

Do.you enjoy 6-8hour phcn supply in your base? Then forget about panels for now.


buy inverter 1.5kva and one Battery.
You are good to go!

Improve on it later

What is solar generator? Any difference between solar generator and the normal solar and inverter?

No difference at all. It's just that solar generator has all the components in one.

Good day guys,

I have 350k set aside for solar installation, and I intend to use it for 2 laptops, 2 Fans and my gadgets. That's all. I don't mind just a solar panel and one battery.

Kindly advise me if this is feasible. If yes, Where can I get this stuff. Thanks.

Yes, that's what we knew previously, that inverters require either a battery or a reference voltage to work. Am not sure why.

But I own a Chinese inverter that will gladly bypass the battery once the Sun is reasonably bright at around 8 -10am. So I now reserve my old dead batteries are for refrigerator in day time, at night - phones and lighting.

My plan too, but I don't know who to trust for a considerate charge

I approached a guy close to my neighbor and he told me 1 million naira for inverter at my place

If you meet the requirements prescribed, you wouldn't need solar panels to start with if you enjoy 6-8hrs electricity supply.

That was how I started.

The function of the solar panels is to charge the batteries.
Meanwhile, many inverter comes with inbuilt chargers to charge the batteries

what is the capacity of the battery and how long can 2 laptops, 1 standing fan and 6 energy white bulbs last in a 24 hour period?
The battery capacity is about 1020wh and can last 10hrs

how long in a day does your laptop and fan last?
You mean how long does the power system last? On fully charged, it last Only 2 hours when you plug a laptop and a fan. It's not a big solution but maybe with solar panel

What amount is needed to solar-power a 6-bedroom duplex with a chest freezer and a standing fridge, no AC's?
Re: I Have 350k, Can I Install A Single Solar Panel For My Appliances? by mechanics(m): 6:46pm On Apr 21
It won't serve you, use 4 solar panels of 150 watts, or 3 panels of 250 watts.

Hello.
What does this solar generator mean? Is it different from our normal solar and inveter?

In lay terms, it's a box containing an inverter and battery inside it. It also has provisions or ports where solar panels can be connected to it .

Hmmm!

This is going to be a recipe for disaster.

One 250w solar panel at Isc of about 7A on a PWM charge controller will never take that battery to a full Bulk charge of 14.4V.

My guy will definitely have issues in less than 3 months after installation because the battery will sulphate from undercharging.

I will advise op get more funds and set-up something that will be worth the effort. An MPPT charge controller will be most appropriate because of its efficiency.
He will need about 2-3 additional panels for faster charging.

My guy, just invest the 350k and do a good job later.
You are not ready yet

The recipe is okay
You're wrong bro
7A good to charge 100a battery
Re: I Have 350k, Can I Install A Single Solar Panel For My Appliances? by bizzibodi(m): 9:26pm On Apr 21
What capacity of inverter can takes:a deep freezer,one 32"led Tv,3 ceiling fans,5 energy bulbs for 6hrs.
