Mrreed:

You know that this is not a 12v 500ah battery

We need ban that guy from this thread.

jonescosmos:
So I did a little calculation today. I could not believe that I would be needing to pay NEPA almost 110K daily on Band-A.

I wonder how would have coped with BAND-A Tariff without Solar Energy.

Someone should help me check how much I would have been spending on daily energy needs without solar.

Because it seems I got it wrong.

My brother, I think you miscalculated. Your total production as at time you took the snapshot was ~98kwh. Abuja Disco band A should be around N209.50k. So that is 98 kwh × N209.5 = N20,531. I would guess that your daily cost may be in the region of N30k or ~145kwh.

Even at N20k a day, that's averages N600k of electricity in a month.

Hello Guys,

I have a question.

i want to add a second battery to my inverter set up in a way that I can switch between battery 1 and battery 2 at anytime. Both battery will use the same source for charging (same Solar and Grid) and I don't have a problem charging only one battery at a time.

I cant merge because both batteries are different sizes and manufacturers. And I don't want to use two inverters .

Is there a change over switch that can change the battery in use between battery 1 and battery 2, just like NEPA and Generator style?

Is this doable? how do i do this?

1. It is doable.

2. You can get two manual switches and use them to select which battery you want to use at any given time.

3. There are factory made battery isolators and combiners that you may buy which involves merely turning a knob to select a battery. This can be manual (Pictures 1 and 2) or automatic (Pics 3). These are available on Amazon. I don't know if you can get them locally.

4. I used to run something like this when I was transitioning between Lead Acid Batteries and Lithium.

Thank you once again, i will order the switch from Aliexpress.

Please i have one more question for you Sir.

Do i use 1 switch for each cable, that is One switch for the Negative and One switch for the Positive ?

Making two switches?

One is enough. You should switch only the positive cables. The negative cables can remain permanently connected to the batteries.

Thanks Again Sir. Well noted.

And what can you say about powmr 6.2kw inverter

Anyone here using Anern MPPT charge controller? Please how reliable is it as compared to PowMr?

Thanks a lot bros,

I actually took the snapshot at around midday hence my ~98kw generation, my actual daily consumption goes up to around 210KW on average, Abuja Disco band A charged me ~N225.23/kw (VAT Inclusive) as at May 2024 and that was when it dawned on me that it's time to abandon the grid totally.

So if I go by N225.23 x 210KW = N47,298 per day and N1,466,247.30 per 31 days of the month.

Now that's a whole lot of energy bill to cope with abeg.

Thanks a lots bros, please take a look at my post above. Perhaps you would understand my scenario better.

On 17th and 18th of this month I did some welding construction hence the 586KW and 604KW productions respectively.

Now imagine me doing that with grid.

mctfopt:


Monthly usage is 3.27MWh

Which gives an average of 105kwh/day

Going by Band A ₦225/kWh tariff that's roughly ₦23k/ day savings or ₦713k/month. That's some insane energy savings.

Going green is totally worth it.

Can you help someone purchase growatt inverter

Fouani and Sygnite has Growatts..
Powmr 6.2kw is cool, I use their products no complains..

Holy moly! That's a great savings from the sun. You are truly reaping the benefits of the sun.

Because nah jumia i used to use to purchase the inverter and charge controller

And the price of growatt at jumia is much

No doubt my brother, it's a lot for anyone to shell out considering many competing needs before us. Worse is that it is most probable that the energy costs will continue to increase going forward. Going solar is worthwhile.

Is your snapshot UI from Deye or third party energy monitor? It looks clean and detailed.

Almost all Jinko s are out of stock on the Fouani website. Is there any other place I can get Jinko s?

That is the retail price. I bought the 4.2kva for 340k from Alaba on Wednesday

Bros thank you. I just ignored because it amazes me how people openly want to extort people on a platform that isn't a sales thread. A lot of people on this platform to see how they can commence their renewable energy journey with reasonable cost and yet some Shylock will brazenly come here and post these outrageous prices.

I know its retail price but I just ignored him ni!
