My water heater, air-conditioner and Microwave have become Museum pieces so also the Refrigerator. The ceiling fans are used sparingly and all because of PHED and its increasing tarrifs. In the end it is to cut your clothes according to your material courtesy of prepaid meters. 2 Likes |

frozen70: I was waiting patiently for them to quote you. It would have been fine if a man posted that, but sadly you are not a man. |

nurez305:Hide your secret because you might be cheating NEPA. If I buy 2000 credit, 700 would go to tax and other deductions and I might end up with 20 units which last for 2 or 3 days. |

For a 2 bedroom apartment with bulbs, 3 fans, a fridge, solar iron, 40 inches led, home theater and gaming console. Occasionally use of pumping machine. What will be the total cost/ range to setup a good solar system to power such apartment? (Cut your coat according to your size price) Rubyjade: |

shopwiser: My brother Nigeria is not balance. Some part of the country has almost 24/7 light that they off their fridge to reduce icing and power consumption. Just the way some are dying of hunger while some are building multiple mansions at once. 2 Likes |

Rubyjade: Everyone keeps saying switch to solar. And I am in support. But what is the plan for reduced insolation during the rainy season? 4 Likes |

mandate12:What I do in such case is to use only bulbs and charge phones. It's better than running gen. |

Rubyjade: Is it sufficient enough to fully charge the battery banks EVERYDAY? Just this week were there was cloud cover I had outages due to insufficient charge 3 Likes |

iBanger:I would suggest you get a separate solar for the pumping machine. The same thing with the quote I gave you only reduced the numbers of batteries and solar panels, SIMPLE! |

mandate12: Fully agree with you. I track my daily production and on Wednesday and Thursday where I live I woke.up to.cloud cover. My heart fell. I dey monitor my production so much that once it's 6:45am I know the charger must turn on and I go and double check. Solar is good but it has its limits. Big limits 5 Likes |

airsaylongcome:It's true, solar ain't 100% but it better than NEPA/PHCN crazy bills. How many panels & batteries do you have? |

airsaylongcome:What's are the limits to solar? |

sasview:What appliances are you using? A 1.5 Ac consumes about 60 naira per hour. If you run your AC for 1 hour it is about a unit gone in just one hour. If you are using heating elements too it also consumes alot of energy. |
Re: How Do You Manage Energy Consumption At Home? by Rubyjade: 2:12pm On Mar 13, 2022 |
PHIPEX:Your solar control charger MUST have a USB charger port at least 2 ports, it saves you the problem of charging using the sockets. |

Rubyjade: Solar doesn't "work" on rain washed days. And by doesn’t work I don't mean your inverters don't work. Your solar panels on your roof are useless when the rain falls. Zero generation. Remember that the most efficient solar panels are only 22% efficient. On cloudy days the panels have very low production. Often insufficient to match regular consumption 2 Likes |
