gbadexy: Thanks Can solar power be used to power ACs (2-3) without having to break the bank? To use 2-3 ACs, only 2-4 bulbs and maybe 1 TV would be on.. |

somehow:I have no Idea of the wattage of the ACs. What KVA generator would power the appliances? That would give you the Idea of the inverter capacity to use and the number of batteries. You may spend close to N1.5 m or more for that but I guess the amount is relative in terms of cost. That may be breaking the bank for people like us but definitely a pocket change for our ogas here. With my layman idea, I know you would definitely need more than 3 KVA inverter and more than 400 ah batteries. 1 Like 1 Share |

somehow: Regardless of your load and energy consumption, the essence of a very good smarthome design is to control energy usage through a variety of smart-home energy-saving strategies. You need systems that can turn appliances off completely when not in use, eliminating the energy drain from idling appliances. For instance, my security lights automatically come on at 7pm and is turned off at 6:30am every day even when I’m not in town thus conserving energy. Years back, I have programmable thermostats on my power-hungry devices. Today, I realize that a well configured smart thermostat will do a better job that the manual ones as it’ll take some of the guesswork out and enabling the device's smarts to proactively manage energy use. More importantly, I’m able to save more on my energy bills because my house is designed to conserve energy (there are wraparound terraces and covered porch allowing fresh air and sunlight to pour into my very spacious interior). This is a different ball game for those who are trying to play catch up. 1 Like |

gbadexy: So let's say like 5KVA inverter and like 600 maH batteries can comfortably power a 4-5 bedroom duplex? (Not like every appliances would be active at once.) I actually meant solar panels. |
Re: General Topic Thread-To Discuss Anything And Everything in Building Construction by igbonla(m): 11:39am On Mar 21, 2021 |
somehow: You will break the bank to have solar power for 2-3 ACs, especially if you are gonna run them at night too. 2 ACs will require something around 8Kva inverter and that's roughly about 1.5M for a good one, you will require about 10,000W panels too (30 panels X 300/350W), at about 60k for a good panel, that about 1.8M. You will need nothing less than 40kwh of battery to use 2 ACs at night and that's huge! Somewhere around 12-15M for Li-ion! These figures are not exact, just about but you can see how you have to break the bank, a good bank. Adding the 3rd AC will make it worse, it is doable if you can afford it. You still need that energy audit before moving to design for your need. |

somehow: What do you have in the 4-5 bedroom duplex? Some appliances are like a V8 Tundra, even when they run alone! Get an audit done first. |

somehow: My Energy Conservation and Home Automation Device List Gate/Fence Light/DC Water Pump control - Centurion Chronoguard Function This device run on 650VA backup battery and it can power the gate for at least 48 hours when there’s power outage. It also turn on the water pump on programmed days of the week all year round. Smart plugs - Surgeguard (remote controlled) This is what my entertainment systems are connected to. Once I switch off the master port, all the slave port goes off automatically thus conserve energy. ACs/Freezer - Programmable plugs (thermostat) I intend upgrading this to smart thermostat. Bulbs - Phillips Hue I’ve been using this bulbs for over 9 years. I’ll order more soon to replace the “na this one good” naija bulbs that get replaced every month.

Adedward: Alright Ade. I will call you directly for more explanation. No need to go back and forth here. People might read things differently. If need be, and Focusmind is willing, alongside HSL Broker, a conference call wouldn't be a bad idea. People dragging anyone around here without the way it's been done in the past here doesn't help anyone. It rather makes people look bad before the eyes of innocent members here. In the course of work execution. Everyone experiences challenges. A good run with a client, might not be a good a run with another client with a different understanding of things. Above all, making headway and forward movement over the tasks is what matters. If you don't mind on this. Personally we met here, and since 2018 till date. I don't have any bad work experience with you, we have had challenges and all were worked upon by mere understanding. No need for name callings. Thanks. 3 Likes |

somehow: Yes you can use solar inverter to power AC but the size rating must be between 10-15KVA. The load consumption of the conventional AC is high but there are some low power consumption AC called inverter AC.. 1 Like |

gbadexy: Well for me, I don’t allow them to meter my commercial projects. They take their readings from the transformer. Just bill me for my consumption and not what I have inside my property. That I have them doesn’t mean I run them all at once. This explains why I have N11,000 bill on my transformer. |
