How my inverter is saving me in this poor power supply and no-fuel situation by DMerciful(m): 6:49pm On Apr 24, 2016 |
In a month I normally use fuel worth N8000 to power my generator anytime there's power outage but since I bought my inverter more than a year ago, I spend averagely N500 per month. Yes..N500 averagely as I could go for 3months sometimes without putting on my gen. This backup system has been very helpful especially now that there is poor mains supply and fuel scarcity with exorbitant price. Those of you complaining of excessing estimated bill, you can get value for the bills you pay if you have a backup system since you'll massively utilize the mains when it is available provided you can have light at least once in two days. Below is my 1.5kva sine wave inverter and 4batteries system. Show us pics of your backup system and tell us how much you save from this arrangement per month. Mods pls move to front page so Nigerians can be aware of alternative cost saving power 45 Likes 14 Shares

I don't have an inverter but planning to buy. I have a colleague who combined it with solar and he doesn't use mains supply. The solar panels supply his entire house. He has about 20 solar panels on his roof. That's what I'm saving for. 54 Likes 4 Shares |

I bought the batteries zenith 200AH x 4 @ 52k each. The inverter is 40k then, maybe 50k now cos of dollar ![]() ![]() IamMetallic: 36 Likes 8 Shares |

You are right...its best to combine with solar panels and be totally independent from PHCN. Solar panels are not as expensive as before so my plan is to include panels in due time ValarDoharis: 8 Likes 3 Shares |

DMerciful:WHAT IS THE VOLTAGE OF UR BATTERY(AH)? |
Re: How my inverter is saving me in this poor power supply and no-fuel situation by DMerciful(m): 7:26pm On Apr 24, 2016 |
The inverter is 24V DC so I connected the batteries in series-parallel configuration to give 24volts. kogistar: 3 Likes |

Whenever I am ready to build a house, solar-powered inverter system is going to be part of the budget from the onset. I think it is easier to include it in the budget and get it done from the onset than trying to do it later after some years. The cost can be discouraging. So for me, the house will not be considered complete until the inverter system is up and running. No time to wait for PHCN. Even if PHCN improves, the inverter will still be useful because it will save cost on electricity bill. 37 Likes 2 Shares |

I have something similar to yours in my house. Mine has four batteries. It charges when there's power and soon as the power goes off it continues from where it stopped. Though they're some appliances that I didn't include in it. It can power all the lights, fans, electrical appliances and one fridge. It doesn't power my pumping machine and pressing iron cos of the high voltage they consume. But the larger the battery the more appliances it can accommodate. I'm even planning on installing a solar powered inverter on the roof of my house so I can tap from both worlds (Solar and Electrical) ![]() 13 Likes 2 Shares |

For the average person, this does not seem such a fantastic deal. Four batteries at approximately N200K, and I hear you'd need to replace them annually or so. The fuel situation is temporary, so prices will soon go down. Does it power your refrigerator and microwave? 13 Likes |
