Ops, may God bless u. Please I have a 2.4kva inverter and two 12volts 200ah batteries. What will it cost me to add a solar panel?
Re: . by Judejibs: 3:44pm On Aug 17, 2015
This is not my thread but as u hv not been answered let me use the opportunity to answer ur question.
You will be needing 4 units of 200w solar panels to charge your batteries to fit to your Wattshour usage and 30 amps charge controller. You can get these in the market but if you need help you can call me 08030675746

@chapell, I have read this thread completely and noticed you only operate in Lagos. At this time I need you to give me Quotation as I intend switching to Solar system. I'm currently living in a 4 bedroom bungalow.

1. Home theatre.
3, 32" TV, and 1, 60" TV
1 deep freezer, 1 fridge.
4 ceiling fan and 3 standing fan.
1hp AC,
Over 40 energy saving bulbs (spot light)
And washing machine.

I understand that some of these appliance may be removed, however, I need you to tell me how many solar panels I need to power everything. (Plus or minus the AC and fridge) I want the total qoute please.

I will appreciate your response.

Thanks.

This post is for inverter users, most of my clients using inverters are complaining of low or no phcn to charge their battery
and we all know charging using generator reduces the life span of a deep cycle battery.

Solar is no longer expensive as it used to be, I am going to give the current market price of all solar equipment so you have an idea

Part A
1 Solar Panel
A 12v battry rated at 200Ah needs about 300w or 400w panel to charge the battery full. [assuming 7 hours of sunlight a day]
The available panel in the market are 125w and 200w

Option A
So if you are going to use 125w panel, then you need 2 or 3 panels per battery depending on your pocket.
[Recommended for 0.8kva inverter]

Option B
If you are going for 200w panel, then you need 1 or 2 panel per battery, depending on your pocket.
[Recommended for 1.5kva inverter]


2 Solar charge Controller
A charge controller limits the rate at which electric current is added to or drawn from electric batteries. It prevents overcharging and may protect against overvoltage, which can reduce battery performance or lifespan, and may pose a safety risk.

12v, 15a is recommended for option 1
24v,30a is recommended for option 2

3 Cables
Depending the distance from where you mount your panel to the battery

4 Angle Bar [optional]
Angle bar is the frame upon which the solar is mounted, althought the last one is optional. If you have a roof where you can access, then there is no need to make Angle bar.

[img]http://1.bp..com/-QfU3crnXGRY/VUSSV5IybnI/AAAAAAAAAf4/Cnuk_oQxIoM/s1600/1.jpg[/img]
This is my roof, i can install my panel without the angle bar

125w Sinbad Solar on my roof

Part B

Panels
Auxano Products
125 watts N17,000
200 watts N35,000

Sinbad Group
125 watts N32,000
200 watts N55,000


Solar charge Controller
12v, 15a = N15,000
24v,30a = N30,000
Sinbad group

3 Angle Bar

N10,000 per each panel

I will recommend the 3.5KVa inverter only if you agree to remove the Ac and washing machine.

for the solar use 8 units of 200watts panels for your battery.

Whats the model of your inverter?
If you want to increase it to 4, you have to buy 4 new set of batteries. I dont recommend mixing old batteries and new ones

The model of the inverter is Powerstar W7. The batteries were installed about a month ago.
I ve uploaded picture of the inverter.
What specification (types, model and number) of solar panels and charge controller do you recommend? The guy who installed it does not look like professional to me.
Thanks

Alright since its just a month old, you can 2 more batteries to your system.

For the (types, model and number), I recommend mono, simbad, 200watts(4)unit for you 2 batteries. The problem with simbad panels is the cost as per Germany product. If you cant afford it, you can opt for the china ones. but the keyword is mono crystalline.

Charge Controller, 30 amps will do.

Hope this helps

As Charpell has rightly said, you wil need 8 panels of 200w each to efficiently charge 800amps bank. however, the panel is calculate as 8 with regard to 10% possible panel inefficiency or power loss along the cable as well as your possible usage during the day. 80amps charge controller (note that if ur array volts matches with ur bank voltage, u should choose PWM controller. and MPPT if ur array volts exceeds bank volts).
Simbad and PSC are good choice if cash isnt a problem (they are quiet xpensive) or you go for other cheaper brand such as SPP, Sunshine, suntech or sukam.

Re: . by tfezify: 7:42am On Jun 01, 2016
Good day Charpell.

I have a 1.5KVA inverter with two 12V 200AH batteries.

What kind of solar system do I need to efficiently charge the batteries to a minimum capacity of 95% and whats the cost?.

I am also planning on purchasing two more 12V 200AH batteries to make a total of 4. For this, will my solar requirements be different?
