ValarDoharis: Ole boy that solar thing is so expensive. I was told that to install solar panels and inverters that can power television set and energy saving bulbs it would cost me N450,000 for a 1.5 kva inverter and two batteries plus solar panels. Somebody should think of subsidising these things to bring it within the reach of the average man. |

HajimeSaito:Here's a very rough breakdown 1,500w inverter (taking pf as 0.8, 1500÷ 0.8= 1.875kva) (without inbuilt charger)= 10k 2 pieces of 200ah batteries at 70k= 140k 2 pieces of 250w solar panels at 50k= 100k 20a-60a charge controller 40k Cables 1k per yard Racks and other miscellaneous = 20k Total= 310k I have a setup that cost 120k, tho runtime time is short |

DMerciful: by virtue of my work experience, i have worked with multiple variants of these inverters for different facilities [office, . the mopower is no different. the batteries go in two years. you claim the mercury inverter 'ruined' your batteries and that your batteries were 'restored' by a mopower inverter ![]() ![]() all you are doing is FUD. in my experience, they are all the same. the diference is that the sellers of mopower, luminous sukam and the likes are way too greedy and desperate to make a killing off nigerians. all inverters have 'poor charging' . thats why they say get a 'high speed charger' which will charge your batteries faster but will shorten their lifespan. i bought a i.4 kba sukam inverter some years back. 35k, csh and carry . it blew once. when i got it fixed, a fuse was replaced. this fuse was not locally avaialble, so from then on i was constantly rewiring the inverter. after i got tired of this i switched to another model , a so called pure sine wave that went bad the very day i bought it. i saw this same sukam at luminous shop for over 150,000 last year. i just shook my head. the greed of nigerians. 1 Like |

see as people on this thread are calling biig big prices for batteries. i bought 200Ah batteries from coscharis in febuary for 50k. BUY DRECT FROM COSCHARIS PERSONALLY . don't let any hustler cheat you. batteries are actually the worst part of the inverter setup because greedy nigerians can do anything. just clean a battery and it may as well be new. as for maintenance, ideally battries should be kept at 22-23 degree celcsius. [air conditioned] but that wont happen for a domestic user . so thats just a cop out/quick excuse for a dubious seller whose batteries went bad. |

DMerciful: It is true what u have said. But one key thing is the supply of NEPA light once in two days, becaus its the NEPA light that can effectively charge the batteries or u need a big gen like minimum 5kva to charge it. Also note that the money u save now will be used to buy batteries when they go bad. |

Re: How my inverter is saving me in this poor power supply and no-fuel situation by Electroweb(m): 6:13am On Apr 25, 2016 |
bigtt76: Well, inverters have minimum voltage at which they cut off power supply, so its not possible to drain it to nought. Assuming If you have an inverter of the strenght of a truck but use it to carry load of one Laptop then its a waste of money and space. The average life span of the batteries is 2yrs. The storage capacity of the batteries drop over time, just like ur phone, rechargeable torch, car batteries e.t.c they are all the same. |

Re: How my inverter is saving me in this poor power supply and no-fuel situation by bigtt76(f): 6:18am On Apr 25, 2016 |
Very true. I would support adding of batteries in modular manner to sustain your power needs but then adding a new battery to a running system would make it an imbalanced arrangement. One battery will surely go bad before the other and the cycle continues. Best you get your present and future power needs right before embarking on this venture. Electroweb: 2 Likes |

Why condemn his setup? He's not asked anyone to bring money or has he? Nor has he suggested any vendor. Besides all these, you don't even know his setup arrangement at home. You may own an inverter but have it wrongly connected which has now given you a wrong impression about the whole system. Please let us all learn and do the right thing instead of condemning others. jeytee: 7 Likes |

Re: How my inverter is saving me in this poor power supply and no-fuel situation by Nobody: 6:29am On Apr 25, 2016 |
bigtt76: in my opinion, your best value for money is a mercury inverter. 2.5kva is 25,000. buy direct from coscharis and you get a 1 year warranty. its modified sine wave, which means some fans may hum when running . none of the ones in my house do. i am also recommending it because 25k is far easier to shrug off than 150k. after you buy your mopower inverter the english will start. oh, it needs a stabilizer; oh you cannot use it with a generator sized less than so and so nigerians are very lousy where after sales support is concerned. |
