Good morning, I want to get batteries for a 2.5kva or 1.5kva hybrid inverter. I just noticed that two 220ah batteries give a total of 440ah at 594k while four 150ah batteries gives a total of 600ah at 580k. By my local man logic, the 150ah option seems better to me cus I get about 160ah more battery capacity. Pls, those who are experts, is this my logic correct and can I go for this 150ah option?

Evening bro, what solar solution would you recommed/adopt for a BQ or one bedroom in todays current dispensation (economy wise and market availability)?

hp notebook - 45W
akt lightbulb - 2 nos @ 5W
smartphone charging - 2 nos @ 10W
ox fan - 80W

total load: 155W
Also, laptop & led bulb takes most priority and needs to be able to last at least about 6hrs at night.

Economy no wise this period .
But if you want to go cheap, lithium power kit would have been a very good option for you if you had a DC fan.

But considering your current load
Just budget 600k up

. Thanks bro, will look into the lithium power kit thing.
Speaking of DC fan, though this is a DIY thread, what do you think about package deals like this one I saw on jumia?

155w @6hrs on low budget

500 watts sachet inverter 25k
100ah battery 150k
30a solar charger controller 10k
2 150 watts solar panel 90k
and other minor accessory 30k
find an engineer to install it for you and you are good to go.
NB you can go for tokunbo panel to reduce cost.

How long does your battery last after a single charge? I would have sold my set up to but I stopped to advertise because I fell in love with what I built. I can move with it.

Avoid the ox fan

Good evening all. Under utility charging mode of my inverter, it shows AC maximum charging current of 60A. Should I leave it at 60A or reduce it to 20A (dats what I saw online) while the maximum solar charging current is showing 80A, should I set this to 80A as well? I am using two 220ah tubular batteries

Battery is fairly good bro, get around 2hr 30min. Seen your thread, amazing stuff you created. haha that OX is a power hog.

This is a Nice thread...
Please what is the latest price of 500watt inverter/charger, Solar charge controller and 180watt solar panel

Good evening all. I bought a digital timer to use with my fridge for my inverter. I used it for the first time on Friday and set it to turn on my fridge by 8.30am and turn it off by 3.30pm.

The problem now is that when I got home around 7pm, the fridge was off, since there was light at that time, I turned on the fridge but the fridge is no longer working. It makes a click sound every few minutes, the fridge light is on but the things in the fridge and freezer are not getting cold.

Also, now, when the fridge makes the click sound, the load on the inverter rises to about 800w for a few seconds before dropping down to normal which did not happen before.

What could be the problem?

When Plug the fridge directly what is the response?

Same thing. It makes a click sound every few minutes, the fridge light is on but the things in the fridge and freezer are not getting cold

Also, whenever it makes the click sound, the inverter fans start working and the inverter becomes noisy, and the load shows almost 800w before dropping but when before using the digital timer, the fridge never takes the inverter load beyond 300w at any point in time

I think your fridge has the problem.

Good morning, thanks for your response to my question on my fridge, a repairer fixed it yesterday.

Is there any ceiling fan that consumes very low power? Like 10 to 20w?

Please I have a quick question and I'm trying to make plans for it in the future.

Charging of phones (4) = 60w
1 laptops = 45w
5 boobs = 39w
42 inches TV = 65w
2 standing fans = 20w

Everything= 229w approximately 250w

1kva inverter

Modification

I just saw you said 24hrs.
24v is Better @okusbaba quote is valid.

You will need 6pcs of solar panels.
The quotation will give you back up time of 13hrs

Hello
Please is it advisable to use a ceiling fan of 58W (+/-5W). It's a duravolt fan with a solar set up of 65Ah battery?

Also does charging power bank with the solar set up affect it?

Thank you

Any appliance that is energy saving is always acceptable.

No it doesn't
Try to get a fan that has an inbuilt battery it will work optimally with your kind of setup

Good evening house,

i stumbled upon this thread while doing my research, these past few months electricity Has been very unstable and it's affecting my work. I'm really looking to get a solar panel that can power just my laptop and phones during daytime. I don't need the solar to run at night.

1hp laptop 65watts
3 phones
