💡 Understanding Your Solar Setup
Why does inverter size change?
Your inverter must handle the wattage running at the same time. With good planning, you won't run your AC, iron, and microwave together - so you can save money with a smaller inverter!
How are batteries sized?
Batteries store energy (kWh), not power (watts). We calculate based on how much energy you use daily and how many hours of backup you need. Lithium batteries let you use more of their capacity than tubular batteries.
Why do I need solar panels?
Nigeria gets about 5-5.5 hours of good sunlight daily. Your panels must generate enough during these hours to power your home AND charge your batteries for nighttime use. We account for 20-25% system losses.
How can I reduce my system cost?
Smart load management! Don't run heavy appliances (AC, iron, microwave, washing machine) at the same time. Spread them out during the day. This lets you buy a smaller, cheaper inverter.
