dacool1: They can last many years although some components can get bad due to shortcircuit , over current or over voltage. Replace them and you will be fine. |

complexstuffs: What is your business model exactly? If you intend to go solely into installations, I don't think you need a shop per se. What you need could just be a modest space in a shopping complex in a central part of Abuja to serve as your office and reference address in your advert materials. Of course, you may not necessarily be there all time, so familiar clients will be encouraged to notify you upfront before coming around. 1.5m should help you achieve this with enough extra to help you find your feet till the jobs start pouring in. You may also want to stock some sample items to aid your explanation and business pitches to clients. But if you want to go into sale of renewable energy products, I doubt 1.5m will get you anywhere. 2 Likes |

odimbannamdi: Thanks so much for your reply. I intend to go into Sales, Installations and services/maintenance of renewable energy products. The N1.5 million is just to cover rent money of a shop in a plaza/complex in a relatively good location. I know location is very important in business and I don't want to make mistakes which is why I am asking for inputs from folks who are familiar with Abuja |

dacool1: Inverters can't be exempted from the effects of time. My growatt spf 5000es is 1year 6months today without any issue from constant 24/7 use and periodic abuse of OL ![]() |

Mine does, easily. For how long depends on your battery capacity. I have had one 1hp and another 1.5 HP for 3hours at a point. While it's not usual for the AC to be on most times, regular load is less than 2kva ( @1.5kw) but i have a 1.5hp water pump that on a timer of 15mins action every hour. The inverter handed that brilliantly. My usage of some other brands for the same activity showed that some brands advertised here are overated. Kaybthaniels: |

dacool1:Nothing lasts forever. Normal wear of the parts in motion is my thought. However,I have used inverter for 2-3 years straight atimes . Usually I plan towards @5years of use. After that, I am ok with anything that happens. I always look at it this way: how long can I expect to use a petrol generator 24/7 before changing the engine ![]() 1 Like |

Thanks boss. I will contact you soon, Still busy with researching for what will fit my use and budget. zeestone99: |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Kaybthaniels(m): 2:42pm On May 13, 2023 |
Alright boss, based on my calculations, my energy consumption will be a little bit under 17. kwh, so this inverter should suffice hopefully, money no dey for Growatts and the likes so make person manage this one first. durodee: |

Please I need advise, I have a 24 volt system set up consisting of 300w panels(6), a 2.5kVa 24V afripower inverter, felicity MPPT charge control(60A) and 4 tubular haus strom batteries, but i still have to charge the batteries with generator from 7pm -10pm. How do I improve the system in such a way i stop running the generator. PS my total watt in my apartment is 1113w please i need this improvement advise. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by zeestone99(m): 6:57pm On May 13, 2023 |
Justice629: U need a current limiter and properly sized ac breaker to prevent overload. Around 18k will sort it for you including enclosure. Call/chat - 08117398294 |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by zeestone99(m): 6:59pm On May 13, 2023 |
dacool1: Yes I have some inverters doing 4yrs non stop. Except for some battery low moment or when nobody's home |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Peterlove11: 7:17pm On May 13, 2023 |
obitobe: If you can afford 48v system, go for it. You only need to change the inverter, rearrange the batteries to 48v. Then you can add 2 or 3 more panels. Am sure with this, you will rarely have a need for generator |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by obitobe: 7:51pm On May 13, 2023 |
Peterlove11: Thanks a lot for your response but i need to retain the current system, as it is just 6months old. That is why i am asking for any other improvement that could be done to get rid of the generator usage. |

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by osayuwamwen(m): 8:50pm On May 13, 2023 |
Pls i am using a 12v system with 2panel of 400watts each with two 32amp DC breaker one from the panel to the controller and another connected from d controller to the battery, I plan on adding additional one or two 400watt panel so I can get a faster charge as I barely get 400watt and btw 31 to 32amp during charging, most times the battery does not get to float charging because I use it for TV and a refrigerator which is on timer for 3hrs during the day time while at night it is just my DC fan and a few surrounding light, my question is this can i add additional one or two 400watt panel to the already two 400watt panel I have installed? will the 32amp DC breaker limit the current from the panel if it is more that 32amp and will my 60amp Felicity controller which support up to 825watt in total for a 12v system accept 4 or 3 panel of 400watt each? |

dacool1: Yeah very possible most esp with transformer based pure sinewave models ... Mine runs 24/7 Asides from thermostatic fan failure or dusting once in a blue moon, attach well sized protective devices alongside efficient earthing, you're good to go ...

obitobe: 1. What sought of light bulbs do you use? LED, incandescent or spiral energy saving bulbs 2. Do you use ceiling fan? if yes, How many and what type? 3. Does your Television have energy saving feature? 4. Do you power your fridge or freezer with the inverter? if yes, when is the runtime? what is the duration? do you power the fridge/freezer after 4pm on inverter |

isangjohnson: 5kva inverter for 2 inverter AC and all those loads? You don't even know the HPs Please don't give advice on inverters, You will clearly put people in trouble and debt. |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Peterlove11: 8:08pm On May 14, 2023 |
Feshizzy:You could have added your own advice without taking a jab at him. He hasnt said anything extremely out of order. Everyone here is a student of Alternative/renewable energy. Even Our Ogas here still learn to get better daily. And 5kva is huge, it can comfortably power 2 1hp inverter ACs. You don't need humongous, power hungry inverters to power basic household load. 1 Like 1 Share |

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Feshizzy(m): 10:26pm On May 14, 2023 |
Peterlove11: There's a difference between practical knowledge and theoretical knowledge, The field rule especially in RE is never assume load, You are still assuming the units are 1HP, You do know there's 3HP inverter AC as well. Also assuming 1HP load at 487w is just poor assessment Now just a sample field experience on inverter AC (if you set at 16° during the day in a big room of 1HP AC there's zero chance the consumption would drop because it could only drop to 24° max) The only time inverter AC reduce power is when it starts getting to it defined temp settings and yes can drop to 487. But issue here was lack of experience of derivative value. Field rule: never assume always confirm. If not not sure always out in caveat. So other reader knows it's a wild/blind assertion. I'm not here to sugar coat words, Do have a nice evening 4 Likes |

The need to be well educated and informed when it comes to investing or own solar can not be emphasized enough. To know the type and potency of your equipment via taking time to research saves you a lot of stress in many ways. We were at a site recently to add extra panels due to business expansion and the panels installed by an installer was just not it. To give to your client that kind of panels without their knowledge will be the biggest scam ever, except it was chosen by they themselves. Picture 1-4 showing the levels of colouration to aging and also to mismatched panels. Always watch. "Trust but also verify" - Scott ritter 2 Likes
