How? You have to buy inverter and inverter batteries, then the solar panels themselves, then installation

Everything is as cheap as 170k, like MTN lumos.... And you power laptop 💻, phones, bulb and rechargeable table fan....

And never again sleep without fan or your gadgets not charged.


Pls go to youtube and watch MTN lumos videos, the begin your search to find better ones that suit your budget.

My own carries fans, laptops, and even fridge. Yet i paid less than 1M because it carries the three bedroom house. Since 2020 till now.

Please this is way more expensive, compared to buying normal solar panels and batteries

Don't know what other way to say it.

Once again, buying ready made portable powerBanks in form of Solar and what's not, is much more expensive (both in short & long run) than just buying Battery, Solar panels, inverter and chargeController.

For someone that wants to power just laptop, charge phone, some bulbs

How much do you think I should budget for this

NOPE

Just go with what I said. Buy them and install yourself, except you are out camping, or need something very mobile.

Despite their high costs, the constituents ain't upgradeAble, and are often/mostly of low quality.

AfterSales support nkor ? They want you continue spending, nothing more. The zeal drops the moment they get your initial money.

Don't know whom you are, nor genuiness of your questions, BUT if in need of solar power, just buy like suggested. Leave the box for elderly people who ain't informed.
Those sellers makes money, real money selling to the unInformed people, after making it look several times cost effective and better.

Experience, they say is the best teacher, but most times, experience comes at a cost.
Even when you later realize it, they make it look like it's your fault things didn't live up to their words. They try to make you buy another, and you just might agree, believeing now you know better, hence the new one wouldn't suffer same fate.
At end of the day, they're the WINner, you the Continious LOOSEr.

1pcs 100AH battery (or 200AH preferably)
1pcs (or 2pcs if buying 200AH battery) 300Watts solar panel
1pcs cheap PWM chargeController
1pcs inverter. This could be optional if your load permits it, and you know your way around.

The above would go power TV and it's accessories + Fan join.
At night, use lightly so as not to stress the battery BUT from 8am in the morning till 4pm in the evening,
use am heavily and you go enjoy am. I often suggest 200AH battery as minimum.

NB:
1. you could buy fairly USED items to keep costs lower. If you must buy USED battery, ensure it's still usAble,
and of quality brand.
2. Also never compromize on battery quality else you would spend more trying to save money.


Ordinarily, could have suggested Lithium batteries since they're more portable, and their weight relative to amperage is better but buying quality lithium cells ain't easy in this part of the world. You need rely on the dealer to be honest enough.

Now when last were you honest with others when money is involved ? Then ask yourself how likely is a seller/dealer going to be honest with you in this times.

I have nnever ever used any portable solar power solution, have never even used or owned an ordinary phone 
powerBank gan sef.
Now if I've never owned one, how come I'm confident enough to advice against them ?
It's because I am techhnical enough to know their quality + I am a solar consultant, does solar installations,
hence a Doctor is a doctor even if He/She is focus on only adults and not kids

Ordering some of these things via AliExpress would be nice, don't you think?

Lithium battery recommended! You can start with battery and Inverter then recharge with NEPA and after you don rest small, add solar.
