Hello guys, I’m looking to go solar since the light situation at my area has been nothing but bad, coupled with the hike in fuel price.

I would like to comfortably power a TV (90W), 4 bulbs at most (40W), PC (200W), home theater (90W) and a fan (70W), bringing it all to a total of 490W. [total ratings modified: from 690W to 490W]

What are my options?


My light situation: I usually get Nepa light from 2pm to 6pm then 9pm to 8am, but whenever the light is faulty I might not see light for two days, or when it rains (they say the transformer is wet), so pretty much every other time the light is sufficient which is why I would prefer a hybrid setup (solar + Nepa to charge the cells)


Thanks.

You have power hungry devices. Why can't you replace the bulbs with 4×5W bulbs to cut it down to 20W.

At Least based on this your rating of 690Watts/hour at least for 12hours (690*12=8,280), we are talking of 3-4million naira investment here
Cut your power consumption by reducing
power consumables to necessary, then opt for power efficient devices. Your light should use led lamp with rating of 6-10watts each, there are fan that uses 34watts, PC is 75watts (at most).

I have a setup available
120ah 24v lithium battery
1.5kva pure sine wave inverter
700w solar s
60a charge controller all for 750k
Reach me through the number on my signature if interested

3-4m? Wow! Even if it’s just 4 hours backup then fine.

The ratings provided were obtained from the power sticker on each of these devices, and the PC is a gaming pc (200W to power both the fans and the GPU).

_________
I realized I wrote(and calculated) 240W for all bulbs instead of 40W. Power consumption down to 490W.

I’ll take this into . Thanks.



Adjusted. There was an error in my calculation: 4 bulbs should amount to 40W not 240W. Thanks!

Thanks for your response. I’ve adjusted the power ratings and I’d like to hear your adjusted price. Thanks.

That's 500watts/hour.
Here is the breakdown:
2 x 200AH battery @200k each=400k
2 x 300Watts @80k each =160k
1000watts pure sine wave inverter=180k
60Amps Charge Controller= 40k
Miscellaneous (Wire, switch, etc) =20k
Workmanship @most (20k)
Total = ₦820,000
That's your potential cost
Note:
I don't sell neither am I a consultants, I only understand this stuffs. You can compare price on Jumia and you can compare price in the market preferably Oshodi and Alaba

Ok, adjusted to 700k

Hi, have you settled for any?
I'd like to know which you settled for I'm kinda in same boat as you.

Sorry, man, I’m just seeing this. I moved to a bigger apartment and settled for 5KVA and 8 batteries.

#2-3m.

Likewise, must be nice indeed.
