Heat and mosquitoes. No light. No sleep. For many families, the first goal is simple: fans and lights all night.
How much power
| Item | Watts | How many | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ceiling / standing fan | 60W | 3 | 180W |
| LED bulb | 10W | 6 | 60W |
| Phone charging | 10W | 2 | 20W |
| Total | About 260W |
How much battery
260W for 10 hours = 2.6kWh.
A 5kWh lithium battery gives about 4.5kWh. That covers the night with room to spare.
The system
- 3kVA hybrid inverter
- 5kWh lithium battery
- Four 600W panels
- From about ₦2.8M installed
Why not smaller?
You can go smaller. But a 3kVA inverter leaves room to add a TV, fridge or iron later. It saves you buying a new inverter. Read start small and expand.
Fan tips
- DC or "energy-saving" fans use less power.
- Ceiling fans move more air for the power.
