There are inverters dat work without batteries? I thought all inverters comes with batteries?
GerogeI:

Solar gets very costly mainly when peeps want to use power at night, meaning they have to store it. Batteries are costly. But you can enjoy solar power in day time, without heavy investment in batteries.

So if you can live with mearsly night power, you can have robust daytime power.
You need inverter and solar charge controller 100k, one or two car batteries 40k ( note you can also use a fairly old car battery, as long as it still gives 12 volts) and as many solar s as you can get. Buy used s. The more the solar s, the more the power, from 10 am to 5 pm. The car battery is just to act as base for the inverter and also to even out instantaneous variation in power production due to changes in sun's intensity. It can charge you phone at night, and provide lighting, but that's it for night use.

Also, there are Chinese solar inverters that can work without batteries when the sun is reasonably bright. But they come in 2kw and 5kw capacities and would burn your whole budget.

Can it operate without solar s?
I thought he will need s?
primeache:
Those acclaimed professionals wouldn't let you achieve your dreams.

Do.you enjoy 6-8hour phcn supply in your base? Then forget about s for now.


buy inverter 1.5kva and one Battery.
You are good to go!

Improve on it later

What is solar generator? Any difference between solar generator and the normal solar and inverter?

No difference at all. It's just that solar generator has all the components in one.

Can i use inverter without the battery??
No! You use both bro!

What solar company do you want to go for
BigDickProblems:
Good day guys,

I have 350k set aside for solar installation, and I intend to use it for 2 laptops, 2 Fans and my gadgets. That's all. I don't mind just a solar and one battery.

Kindly advise me if this is feasible. If yes, Where can I get this stuff. Thanks.

Yes, that's what we knew previously, that inverters require either a battery or a reference voltage to work. Am not sure why.

But I own a Chinese inverter that will gladly by the battery once the Sun is reasonably bright at around 8 -10am. So I now reserve my old dead batteries are for refrigerator in day time, at night - phones and lighting.

My plan too, but I don't know who to trust for a considerate charge

I approached a guy close to my neighbor and he told me 1 million naira for inverter at my place

Pls can anyone give me a quotation for installing solar for a phone charging shop. 30 sockets(charge points) in total

If you meet the requirements prescribed, you wouldn't need solar s to start with if you enjoy 6-8hrs electricity supply.

That was how I started.

The function of the solar s is to charge the batteries.
Meanwhile, many inverter comes with inbuilt chargers to charge the batteries

what is the capacity of the battery and how long can 2 laptops, 1 standing fan and 6 energy white bulbs last in a 24 hour period?
The battery capacity is about 1020wh and can last 10hrs
Xinjin: 5:28pm On Apr 21, 2024
Mavor:
how long in a day does your laptop and fan last?
You mean how long does the power system last? On fully charged, it last Only 2 hours when you plug a laptop and a fan. It's not a big solution but maybe with solar

What amount is needed to solar-power a 6-bedroom duplex with a chest freezer and a standing fridge, no AC's?
mechanics(m): 6:46pm On Apr 21, 2024
It won't serve you, use 4 solar s of 150 watts, or 3 s of 250 watts.

I have an inverter generator for sale that I brought to Ng from Canada. If you have a buyer pls let me know. I also have 4.5 and 5KVA Tokunbo Generators also for sale.

lemme see picture and spec of this.........

Hello.
What does this solar generator mean? Is it different from our normal solar and inveter?

In lay , it's a box containing an inverter and battery inside it. It also has provisions or ports where solar s can be connected to it .
Princemedico18: 6:59pm On Apr 21, 2024
My office system, just one battery Cost me 750k.

My home system Cost me millions

Bruh ur budget should be enough. I work from from home and my boss was worried about my productivity, hence I picked up a mobile solar/inverter for 155k, its capable of serving my laptop, a fan and fones for hours. Once its charged full am good to go.

Please when, where and what product are u using? Please reply me.

If they are New freezers not old type
Plan for Minimum 5kw solar powered inverter

Hmmm!

This is going to be a recipe for disaster.

One 250w solar at Isc of about 7A on a PWM charge controller will never take that battery to a full Bulk charge of 14.4V.

My guy will definitely have issues in less than 3 months after installation because the battery will sulphate from undercharging.

I will advise op get more funds and set-up something that will be worth the effort. An MPPT charge controller will be most appropriate because of its efficiency.
He will need about 2-3 additional s for faster charging.

My guy, just invest the 350k and do a good job later.
You are not ready yet

The recipe is okay
You're wrong bro
7A good to charge 100a battery
bizzibodi(m): 9:26pm On Apr 21, 2024
What capacity of inverter can takes:a deep freezer,one 32"led Tv,3 ceiling fans,5 energy bulbs for 6hrs.

Yes you can use 350k to get solar generator that will power basic Home Appliances...if you need more details please Dm.

Don't waste your money
It won't be enough

The recipe is okay not disaster
250w solar okay for 100a battery
7A is more than enough to charge 100a battery

In other words, you dont rate solar generators?
