Succinctly explained. I have been using inverter and solar for 4 years now. If you want to enjoy it, use limited appliances below the capacity of your inverter batteries to make it last longer. I have a 2kva inverter with 2 batteries. I used my 2 batteries for over 3 years before replacing them. 2 TVs, 3 fans, bulbs and 2 laptops. Make sure you use devices that consume less power. I did not turn my generator on for over 6 months. Management is key.
I installed inverter March 2024 and till date, I have not had any reason to turn on generator. Though I do not use AC, I have a lot of fans. My fridge has never been turned off. I spet about 2M on a 3Kva then. It's worth every penny. I dont have to worry about fuel price changes, servicing and buying replacement parts of the generator. Great video!
A couple of things: 1. The 5kw maximum power output of the inverter is low. If you wanted to run your loads at the same time, you should have gone for high output inverters. The 11kw Axpert Voltronic inverter is available and very reliable and has an 11kw continuous power output. It is also cheaper than the price you quoted for your inverter. 2. If you stay away from your house during the day, then you won’t save much from your solar investments as you can’t self-consume most of the electricity you generate during the day. The only way out is to have more battery storage to capture all those energy generated during the day, but then that increases the cost. 3. One way to save energy is to allow your AC run during the day even if you are not around. It will cool the walls, and keep the room cool even when you turn it off at night or set the thermostat to a higher temp like 25 degrees, the room will still stay cool through the night. Similarly, if you can get smart switches and set the big loads to run during the day when the sun is shining. In this way, you can wash your clothes and heat your water during the day without draining the battery.
I had to stop eating to go for my earphones so as to hear you well. You voice comes out quite clearly but the volume is rather low. But the interest I have in your presentations made me do what I did. Cheers😊
It depends on usage and how well you know how to use it. My Ecoflow with 1024 capacity lasts me well. What I do is to use my freezer during the day and other appliances like TV, decoder, 2 fans, laptop, router, lights, etc., at night. Your Huawei setup is good. Mine can carry a pump...so, yours can do far better. Not all appliances should be ON at once if you want to use something heavy. There is a difference between continuous use and occasional use like pump, microwave, blender, coffee maker, etc. So, Fisayo, you don't have to use the grid for some heavy appliances if they are occasional use (which is something that lasts not more than an hour). Just switch off other things, use the heavy appliance, and when you are done...switch them On, so far it is below your inverter's capacity. That's it.
We typically use our inverter to keep the lights and small appliances on, but this is interesting. I never really considered it as an actual alternative to the main grid or as a way to save energy costs.
There's something they do in the USA where you can return power to the grid if you're using solar. If that were to be possible in Nigeria you would've has more savings via the energy return😊
Great job, Fisayo. Your vid reminds me of when MKBHD did his own Solar post 1year review. I know you might be considering the length of the video but please for educative pieces like this try to be a little slower. More like conversational speed rather than presenting speed. But excellent analysis.
Lithium Battery is the most expensive component of the solar setup. Before i imported my 10Kwh battery from China, i was powering my house with panels and growatt hybrid inverter only for 5 months. I would have my lights come up eas early as 8am, @ 9am i could use my 60 inch tv, fan etc...and could use the a 1.5hp inverter AC by 11am when the sun becomes more intense. Sun = Electricity😀. If you have a business that runs mostly in the day, this is the type of Inverter you need to delay on investing in battery. We should all thank China for making this technology affordable for africans cu if it was American technology, na only for book we go dey read about solar power😅. No one would afford it
BTW while your videos are great, you have audience outside of Nigeria hence I request pricing information atleast is converted in dollars in your videos as it will come a long way since you used to do it long ago. Thanks
@@bakugan9000 That wouldn’t make any difference cuz whatever you are doing still has to be done in naira and the amount in dollars would be determined by the exchange rate at the time of installation.
Aaaah 🙆🏽♂️ 😳😮, I guess at this rate you'll request Fisayo to chew your food for you. Then spit the food into your mouth... Hmmm 🤔. Oga Dollar spender, How hard can it be for you to check price in Naira plus exchange rate when you're ready to install similar system. Na waooo... dis kin laziness dey vex God.
The way I set up my system (different brands) is to never charge them using the grid. This is because I can rely on grid or generator power from 7 pm onwards. By doing this, I ensure that I use the solar energy during the day and leave the battery at around 30% before I leave for work in the morning.
My parents have a 5KWH battery and it powers their Pumping machines no issue. Without your AC, this unit should take you a whole week without need for PHCN.
Great presentation and thanks for the review. This is the type of review I was looking for. However, which software did you use for this presentation? I need this for a presentation I am working on. Thank you
It would be good to indicate how long it would take to get a return on the solar investment, like it would take 2 years to pay it off on electricity savings. Love your videos, keep it up.
From my set up it should take around 5 - 7 years to fully pay itself off, with a larger or similar set up and less load it should take fewer years. However, it all depends.
Here is exactly why it is important to do analysis with an engineer that will log your usage to plan effectively. You are not exploiting your system to the max. Based on your usage patterns, your battery storage is low and I think the max for that inverter stacking is 10kwh. You simply need to have a big battery system that accumulates the lots of energy that gets lost when your battery fills up during the day.
The max for this stack is 15kW but I only got 10kW cos it’s an extra 2m for an additional 5kW LiFePO4 battery. A team of engineers/technicians came to do a survey at the house and recommended I use my system this way, around 50% capacity so it lasts longer.
Using inverter for close to 4 years. Never connected from the grid. Don’t use generator and I have constant power supply and never slept in darkness. Solar is the way 😁
Hi Fisayo, nice insightful work 👏 I am a fan of your work...A Nigerian residing in QA. Can you please make a review of AirTag. The mere mention of the tracking ability of the inverter incase when stolen prompted that. Thanks
@@kingsleyodiase1 Same question I asked. I know there are inverters that can direct electricity directly to the appliances when the battery is full to prevent the battery being drained during sunlight. This should allow the battery to resume work after 6pm with a full charge so it can last longer.
This is exactly what I’m doing actually. At 4:08, I explain that during the day, I turn the grid off, that is, PHCN/NEPA is off and what powers the house is the inverter + solar only. Since sun only comes out during the day. The grid comes back on at night since an inverter only set up will last for 6 hours at max capacity whereas an inverter + grid combo works for the entire night till morning.
You need to expand your system with 1x6kv inverters and 10kwh batteries and 9kvp. Btw do you know about chargeverter? It is just a device to quickly charge your batteries with a standby generator without using the Inverter and solar panels. It is cheap too. It's better than using NAPA
Use multiple inverters if you can afford to. You will be able to save more energy having smaller inverters for lower wattage electronics. A bigger inverter will be more power hungry when it is on idle. Use a breaker setup with large inverter for AC and heater..so on. Turn on when you need to.
I've spent approximately 2.080m on my setup sha. Two 555w Jinko Solar Panels, a Glow Energy 3.2kva Inverter a 5kva Felicity Battery and some accessories. This lasts me for like 2 days per time my battery is fully charged I'm not too much of a fan of Using Inverter that come with batteries like these. I prefer buying the individual components one by one
If you factor in 24hrs power supply and how much it would have cost to use a generator when there's no power in the grid then it could be up to 500k savings per month easily.
@@spartanxxv we're not dealing with hypothetical scenarios here... his actual savings is what matters based on actual scenario. If you are the type that spend up to 500k monthly on fuel, then that's a different situation. But how many people can spend that amount monthly? If he needs 24hrs supply, he'll still need to turn on the generator, since the solar last 6hrs on his usual load, and will not provide as much backup time in rainy season.
What ive learnt is that if you have money to buy anything that would make your life easy don’t hesitate because you might comeback later and the prices will have gone over the roof
Bro to save u the hassle if you want to enjoy solar like i do (cause where we stay is a developing area no electricity there we leave off solar and its doing its work well) just buy timer it cost around 20- 30k naira per one with this timer you should know some load that you dont need to run all day like water heater and co so those should be on timer so when ever there is sun they come up automatically then if you run ac at night the i advice increase your battery bank (when doing so the battery estimation should be calculated to be 10% - 20% higher than your usual consumption so incase of depreciation of battery you wont feel that much) believe me you will leave completely off grid
Possible but na soup wey sweet, na money. It is not about the size of the hotel but what the appliances inside those rooms...if it is room with ACs, it is better to use a CNG big generators.
we have a similar one at home. it's been great especially with how erratic the light has been due to relocation of the feeder that they are doing over here in lokogoma Abuja. so, we only have light from 6pm till 7:30 am the following morning. the one we have carries 2 chest freezers, a 65-inch tv, a fridge, all the lights in the house and also the 2 1hp Acs albeit we only turn those ones on during the daytime when the sun is out and about. once the sun is fully out and the batteries are full it goes into bypass mode where the solar panels are what feed electricity to the house instead of the batteries, then when the sun goes down the batteries then take over. when we are on battery power, we turn off everything except 1 ac, the tv, fans and bulbs. it also charges whenever the grid is back on so that's a plus. We never realised how well we could conserve power until we got it. we saw that we hardly needed all the things that were turned on at the same time. Before we would leave the water heater and the acs on 24/7, now we hardly keep them on for extended periods due to how rarely we use them. we don't use the heaters, microwave, electric kettle and irons due to how much power they draw.
Mhen this is an expensive set up. Do you mind explaining a smaller set up for people like me in tech. Just something that can take the TV, laptop, fan and lights.
There's better ways to reduce cost if DIY your LiFePo battery yourself. Off grid completely is better. I guess your AC consumes the most power. Also you can use DC fans lower watts and also DC compressor for the fridge.
Use 300 WATTS DRY IRON, 1200 WATTS WATER HEATER, 15 WATTS RECHARGEABLE AC/DC STANDING FAN AND 1 HP WATER PUMPING MACHINE, IN ORDER TO REDUCE ENERGY CONSUMPTION.
This is interesting. Does that mean it would take you 7 years or there about, to break even on your invest at 70K savings per month. This places it outside the warranty coverage. However, I truly like the hybrid power setup and if one factors in the productivity X one could say the break even can be even 6 months!!!..Interesting.kudos.
@@lucky5757 Nope, it is actually how long will you run the generator for in 24 hours, then you will know how much you will spend. As for Fisayo, he is underusing his setup...no management. That one can take someone off the grid completely.
The inverter should be charging when there's NEPA light. Also that inverter with NEPA light should take you all day 24/7. You're over loading it. Why you're having the experience.
It should be charging when there's grid power, you're right. I also mention around 11:20 - it can indeed last for however, I had to keep the inverter-only mode turned on to get feedback for this video and I also mixed with the grid to do the same.
Too expensive for the output. You would have gotten better value for money if you sourced the equipments yourself. You would have gotten more tubular batteries more solar panels and close to 12 hours or more from that investment. But again, you paid for 5 years warranty which to me is a waste if you know what you are doing and maintain your system well
@amosade2331 What's the point of having a king that cannot cover me for 24 hours. Or why will I spend almost 3x of what it will cost me to have 18-24 hours supply for a king that will give me 6 hours.a and 5 years warranty which is carefully and deliberately pegged at 5 years. King kor, Royalty ni
@@olusholapeters136 Even with your tubular, it depends on your load and if you know energy management. Also, Huawei is a brand, so he also bought the brand (not just warranty). If it is DIY where he sourced the parts himself, he would get more for that money, and Lifepo4 is better than tubular, brand or not.
Going by your follow up video, one cannot completely rule out the grid if inverters can only serve you for max 6hrs. I was thinking one cannot get up to 12hrs of electricity on a full charge but that doesn’t seem to be the case. I have a big house with all appliances you listed earlier and that means it’s gonna cost me 20m naira for a setup that would provide me max 6hrs electricity a day 🫠
Yes, I can't completely rule out the grid. There's a lot of calculations involved and I'd advise that if you're considering this, you can invite a technician to do a home tour and give advice.
There multiple calculations to this, you could get more hours or less depending on device consumption and setup performance. Consult a professional just like Fisayo adviced. I personally use a little 1.5kva setup as a student software engineer. My goal is to power my laptop and phone with fans and bulbs and I don't use a generator or rely on the grid.
20m will get you a massive solar setup. But the main thing going here is seizing how many watts your house needs and calculate the appropriate watt hours in batteries. I do solar installations and this is where most installers get it wrong. Everything is all about calculation
You are real with your analysis cos I’m an installer myself
Thank you for watching!

@@CollinsOvie-w9v the noise alone is a big turnoff, not to talk of the stress in buying fuel and maintaining the gen
So no option to carry every load in a big house 24/7 seems everyone of them last 6 hours max
It's worth it.
Nice One
Thank you for watching!
Wow
Baba abeg cut soap for me
3000 w iron my guy?!!! What kind of iron is that clothes iron are like 1200 w and can go as low as 400w
The inverter should be charging when there's NEPA light. Also that inverter with NEPA light should take you all day 24/7. You're over loading it. Why you're having the experience.
It should be charging when there's grid power, you're right. I also mention around 11:20 - it can indeed last for however, I had to keep the inverter-only mode turned on to get feedback for this video and I also mixed with the grid to do the same.
Definition worth it if you’re off grid
You need a bigger System, The goal should be to go off grid . ... at least 90% off grid.
Only legends no this is a report
10 kilo watts felicity will do same cheaper
The amount of numbers in this video is giving me arythmophobia 😂😂
This is a lot oooo
Thats very bad, PV usage, 0.1kwh from that panel is poor.
I have only 2.64kw, 6 units of 440w and it gives me 6kwh on daily basis..
How does it perform during rainy seasons?
Damn
First comment 💐
Too expensive for the output. You would have gotten better value for money if you sourced the equipments yourself. You would have gotten more tubular batteries more solar panels and close to 12 hours or more from that investment. But again, you paid for 5 years warranty which to me is a waste if you know what you are doing and maintain your system well
Which Tubular...Lifepo4 is the king...
@amosade2331 What's the point of having a king that cannot cover me for 24 hours. Or why will I spend almost 3x of what it will cost me to have 18-24 hours supply for a king that will give me 6 hours.a and 5 years warranty which is carefully and deliberately pegged at 5 years. King kor, Royalty ni
@@olusholapeters136 Even with your tubular, it depends on your load and if you know energy management. Also, Huawei is a brand, so he also bought the brand (not just warranty). If it is DIY where he sourced the parts himself, he would get more for that money, and Lifepo4 is better than tubular, brand or not.
lol do you even wash yourself or iron yourself
220k in 5months 😂
Omo it will take roughly 13.5yrs to save the amount you spent on getting it.
NOT WORTH IT!
Going by your follow up video, one cannot completely rule out the grid if inverters can only serve you for max 6hrs. I was thinking one cannot get up to 12hrs of electricity on a full charge but that doesn’t seem to be the case. I have a big house with all appliances you listed earlier and that means it’s gonna cost me 20m naira for a setup that would provide me max 6hrs electricity a day 🫠
Yes, I can't completely rule out the grid. There's a lot of calculations involved and I'd advise that if you're considering this, you can invite a technician to do a home tour and give advice.
There multiple calculations to this, you could get more hours or less depending on device consumption and setup performance. Consult a professional just like Fisayo adviced.
I personally use a little 1.5kva setup as a student software engineer. My goal is to power my laptop and phone with fans and bulbs and I don't use a generator or rely on the grid.
mine serve me 24/7 with heavy load.i dont use grid and gen
@@GTdontDOthat Hmmm, how are you able achieve that, and what’s the total kva you are using?
20m will get you a massive solar setup. But the main thing going here is seizing how many watts your house needs and calculate the appropriate watt hours in batteries. I do solar installations and this is where most installers get it wrong. Everything is all about calculation
You forgot to factor in the savings that have been used for the purchase of fuel and generator repairs.
