n3xt:Solar is really worth it but you have to prepare for the raining season when the sunlight is not bright enough. I've gone off-grid also due to the crazy bills phcn give me. The initial cost could be high but it would pay for itself on the long. Like you rightly stated the batteries emit gases. Even the sealed maintenance free ones but the wet cell gives off more harmful gas and needs adequate ventilation. It's the one I use because it can last 5 years when well maintained and prevented from draining totally before recharging it. You just need to monitor the water indicator level and top it. Perhaps every 3 to 6 months. Although mine is going 3 months and the level is pretty much as it was when they fixed it. I changed my freezer to a new model that uses 90 watts and use led bulbs and standing fan even though I could easily use it with ceiling fan. During high sun period from around 10 am, I use ceiling fan, washing machine and it doesn't affect the battery because while the battery is still charging fast at high sun period, excess charge power those appliances directly simultaneously. I reckon if I have to replace the batteries in 3 years, it would still amount to paying N10000 monthly with 24 hrs of power. It's still worth it. 7 Likes |

Forgive my ignorance bro, not sure of the dimensioning. My curiosity is on the amount charged for workmanship to fence a house on half plot of land, even when its just fencing on 3 sides. Timberwolves: |

@next. My Bàbà láti Don come again oh. So we're almost through with the block setting and by Monday we should start the parapet. (pre-cast) Here is the quotation he dropped again for just labor. Please kindly help me to peruse the quotation and if it's worth the amount. It's a standard 3 bedroom flat. Thanks at all

somehow: Giving the cost won't add any value due to devaluation/inflation and the fact that I designed the system for my need. I am not into solar energy business, just an enthusiast. Below are the main ingredients used for the system. - Victron Energy Inverter - BYD B-BOX 13.8KWH 48V Lithium Ion battery. - 300W LG solar panels - Victron Energy charge controller There is a generator, only as backup for the "rainy days". The system handles everything in the house, including inverter ACs, but energy management is critical with solar system. I use only 6W LED bulbs, freezer programmed to go off at night, etc. Occasional use of water heater and zero use of electric iron. Use of water pump and washing machine during the day only (about twice a week max). The most important item you need to focus on is the design of a system that will serve your NEED. Please do not spend a kobo without having in your hands a good design that you understand; to get into the design phase, you must conduct an energy audit. Do not buy those systems being sold with claims on capacity and the load they can carry. A bad experience may scar you and chase you away from solar energy. Energy audit will show you what you currently consume, and enable you trim down your requirements. Solar energy can be expensive if you don't control your use! With an energy audit, you have the foundation laid out and will know what capacity you want to design for. And you can play around the components based on affordability and other factors, there are many inverters, panels, and batteries out there. Don't do cheap, you will get whatever you pay for. I never liked lead acid batteries, whether sealed or wet; while wet is better, it's maintenance can be an issue and may not last 3 to 5 years depending on the source. You should not discharge lead acid batteries below 50% so they don't start failing. Li-ion batteries are expensive but basically worry-free and will allow you discharge down to 10% of battery capacity (90% DoD). They also last longest! Just wanted to share a high level summary of the basics, there's a well crafted and concise submission on setting out with solar system at Kobocity. You should go read it. Whatever you do, don't commit funds into it until you understand what you want to achieve. It is an investment and should be treated as one, also make sure to work with someone that has good referees. Best of luck. 5 Likes 3 Shares |
