You can go ahead, looks ok, but it seems the inverter in it is modified sine wave, so be careful of using it with standing or ceiling fans

Solar power is considered out of reach of the average middle class income earner.

But is it?

Let's go into it, step by step.

I hope, by the information I'll be detailing below to encourage most low-income earners to adopt solar power for their needs. It is not as expensive as the resellers would have it be.

NB: I am not a professional. Most of the views I'll express will likely be as a result of my own experience.

good day sir I really appreciate your effort in providing this great help thanks ALMIGHTY GOD BLESS YOU.
PLS MAKE I SEND U 500 RECHARGE CARD.
PLS I KNOW SAY E SMALL BUT APPRECIATE AM because NAH FROM MY HEART I WISH TO DO MORE THAN THIS.

I have been contemplating on how to do to this until I jump into this thread.
Am a fish farmer and I run my business using water pump and it cost me a lot of fuel sometime I can't meet to the demand due to cost of fuel and the worst is during fuels scarcity.my farm location no light so that's why I run on fuel daily.

Pls I want to run this solar inverter on ONLY 1hp water pump.
Pls what are the requirements of solar,solar controller, inverter and batteries that I can use.
Just as you have taught I believe I can do it myself.

you would need 2.5kva inverter, 2pcs 200A battery, 4pcs 250w solar panel, 6ll, 0a charge controller. etc

however, the cost can be reduced if you opt in for a smaller pumping machine.

What if it's 0.5hp
Thanks

You can use 1.5kva inverter

What about the panel battery still same thing as u mentioned

Sir I learnt something
1hp =745.7watts i.e not up to kw
Therefore the kva of inverter am supposed to use is 1 or 1.5kva
now I Google something and it's telling me that 250w solar panel produce 30kwh so I thought 1pc of 250w panel will be ok for 1hp pump ONLY.
PLS make I understand the maths
My budget for this #250k
Thanks

stancod:

Yes its a 24v system

Lol, Google will always tell you want you want to hear.
However I am telling you what you need to know to make your system work effectively.

On the 250w panel, I have not really sat Down to calculate its output in "kWh" before, but I will take note of it.

Irrespective of the wattage of the 1hp pumping machine, there is what is called "surge current". It is the amount of current the pump will draw when it starts, before gradually returning to it normal operations current.

If you decide to go for a 1kva or 1.5kva system, you would not have enough allowance/tolerance to accumulate for the induction current of your pumping machine.

Your budget is quite small,putting to consideration the cost of solar panels.

if I am to be malleable to your budget, I would advice you buy 2pcs 250w panel, 100amps battery, an mppt controller would be best(but your budget would cover for pwm) then inverter.

Other Snr men let them shook mouth as well.
I would like a different opinion anyway.

, You will need a lot more than 250k, a 2.5kva inverter is your best bet, with 4 200ah lead acid batteries or a 200ah 24v lifepo4 battery, you will need at least 6pcs of 400w solar panels with a 60a mppt charge controller. You can go for a DC pump[if you have not gotten one yet] as that will reduce cost significantly as you will only be buying the pump and solar panels, mind you it will only work in the presence of sunlight

Well done boss jaareee
But, I am sure the guy will just be like kuku kill me
Please, just on a lighter mood

Good day sir I appreciate your effort to give me attention.
Is it possible to use 1.5kva inverter, 1pc 200A battery, 1pc of 250w solar panel since all items are above 1000w .
Bro nah money be the issue hope u understand
Thanks

.
if you wish to use the listed items above, get yourself an external charger to charge the battery when there is nepa light or gen.

one charging with gen, the load might be too much for the gen so you want to be sure your gen is big enough to carry the charger

This thread is really informative. Do we have anybody that install solar here and probably have office in SW?

Thanks a lot Mordecai. I really appreciate. I read the thread from page one to six. I am becoming more enlightened

Yes i install solar system. I dont have a office but am in lagos

You can.
There are 1.5kva/12v inverter.

For the solar panel you can use it but your charging would not be rapid.

Good and enlightening forum. How does someone install solar panels in a rented apartment without roof installation?

New Solar Guide
Find Out How Many Solar Panels You Need !


Example: For 24v Inverter, 2x 200ah batteries with 600w load n Lagos

You can use the following formula to determine the number of solar panels required to charge your batteries:
200ah (Battery bank capacity ) X 24V (Inverter voltage) = 4800wh (Watt hours)
4800wh ÷ 4 hours (average hours of peak sunlight in Lagos) =1200w
1200w ÷ 300w (Size of solar panel) = 4 (Number of solar panels required)
Number of Solar Panels Required For Powering Your Load

Next, we need to determine how many solar panels are required to power your load. To work this out, you can use the formula from our solar panel requirement calculator :

Hi, everyone.

I need a solar setup for my laptop (65w) and a LCD monitor (60 watts).

Please, suggest a setup and cost.

Thanks.
