Mehn, I love this analysis, but let me ask some questions

The MTN stuff, did you get an electrician to rewire your house? Will you advise one go for it nowadays? Does the MTN stuff come with s, or how exactly does it work?

The bona freezer, does it come with the complete setup or what?

Finally, since you're still connected to NEPA, doesn't charging the inverter eat up the units, for those using prepaid?

Thanks in advance

No, the bona freezer came on its own singularly. It was a Nairalander that also first opened my eyes to it. I bought the 3 solar s and the solar charge controller separately, the freezer comes with a plug if you want to plug it to light directly though.

2. I don’t have an inverter with the freezer. The battery is dc and the freezer is dc. I just connected it directly.


3. The Mtn inverter is dc as well and has its own bulbs and charging slots. So the bulbs are beside my own house ‘Nepa’ bulbs. Yes, I called an electrician but only because I didn’t want to enter the ceiling by myself to place the bulbs.

I know that Lumos has better one of sales deals now for their inverters.


I signed up for that yearly plan that time because it was kind of like a guarantee that the inverter would at least work for the 5 years that I am paying the money for, all this solar things can be very flimsy.

I have bought more than 6 of this boxes for my friends and family , (I’m not kidding ) , and the only 1 box that developed a fault within the 5 years was replaced by the company at no cost to us.

I paid weekly for 5 years till it was paid off, I am still using it 4 years after. Total of 9 years. The battery is not as strong as it was when I bought it, but yea, I wasn’t thinking I would use it forever na, even if it lasted for only 5 years it would have still been a good deal for me.

I'm interested

Tplanet:
Lithium battery is more durable than tubular battery. Its cells are renewable unlike the tubular battery.

I'm really enjoying my bee bee jump solar

How long have you been using their product

[quote author=BAMOFIN1 post=128522850][/quote]



Oh boy , I can’t the name o… but it’s tubular sha , it’s all the ones that they recharge the water. I’ve not had to recharge the water though,

Maybe because it only powers the freezer sha

Edited: I went to snap the battery and saw the name. But I don’t really think a brand matters with this type of tubular batteries sha.

What is mtn lumos?

It was an inverter that Lumos brought in with partnership with Mtn,

We used to pay for it by loading Mtn recharge cards, then they debit your balance.

Guess the best part of this deal for me that time ?

I was on this Mtn plan that when I load recharge card they give me bonus credit to call.

So I would load the 3500 that I wanted Lumos to debit, Mtn would give me 3500 bonus,

Lumos would now remove the original 3500 in my credit balance , but I still had 3500 bonus to call with.

Mehn , it was so sweet it was as if I was not paying for my airtime that time

Wow.

Okay.

I appeciate all ur response

I want to understand sumtin.
Do u have inverter?

Of course, I have a felicity hybrid inverter.

Okay.

So u use only solar s to charge ur batteries?

Moneyboyz:

Yeah bro, if you have enough s that won't be an issue.
Even on rainy days I dey get light.

I heard dat using only solar for all ur appliances is harmful to the batteries. Dat one should still use nepa light.

Using solar to power freezers, pumps could damage batteries. Even if u have quality or many batteries. That is what one bros said here. What is ur view about dis?

You need lifepo4/lithium batteries not those cheap lead acid/tubular batteries.
I'm 3 years on full solar power.

Again make sure you have enough solar s and use your heavy appliances during the day, at night only use your light bulbs and small appliances.

Tanks so much.
I appreciate

I suggest inverter first, then battery, then solar.

Who buys battery and keep?
Ba3 should be the last in case your plans didn't work out as proposed, you can easily sell the solar s and inverter

Love800:
I want to ask a question.
Must one buy inverter along with solar?

If you don't have your own house, just buy hybrid inverter and batteries. You can charge the ba3s with public power supply pending the time you move to your house.

If you want to use it to pump water just go for solar pump. You can also by a soft starter or VFD to reduce the starting current of your pump motor.
If you want to use it with AC, make sure is the inverter AC.

Love800:
Ok.
But cant it power other appliances apart from only phones?

Yeah, some small DC 12v stuff like DC fan...

Inverter first, battery second... The duo will back you up. Solar is secondary

I think the poster meant to say, one should buy a hybrid inverter first, then batteries. That way, you can use the grid to be charging your batteries. Then, when you have enough money, buy solar s too.

Roughly 250 - 300 if you're doing it yourself.

100 ah battery (around 100 - 120k)
30ah MPPT controller (around 70k)... or get the common small PWM one for 7k for a start.
300 - 400 watt (50 - 70k)
And wiring...
1000 watt inverter: 25 - 30k. (or pure sine wave like 70k above)

Peace...

Thanks for the breakdown.

Correct

Can someone please recommend me a good solar/inverter battery brand that would last me up to 5 years before packing up?

No problems

You are very right you don’t have to sustain on only solar it will even damage your battery phone battery and shorten the life of your appliances I swear nothing like raw electricity

Nothing like that. Stop saying what you don't know.
Solar is much more efficient in preserving electronics than raw electricity. It is called "Green energy" for a purpose.

Solar will shorten the lifespan of any gadget if you use only solar

I've been using mostly solar to charge my phone for over 3 years now and no regrets so what are you saying?

Solar energy

I used in charging my iPhone damaged my phone battery 2 times before I discovered it was the solar charging always . Bro I no they talk waything I no no na solar charging spoil my phone battery simple

After all is said and done, OP won’t learn anything. Children on Nairaland will insult each other and catch bans as usual. We will all sleep then wake up to debate over God-knows-what tomorrow. Just another day on anti-intellectual Nairaland.

Please stop misleading people and buy quality chargers and get original replacement for your faulty battery.
