In Nigeria power costs, Grid power: N30/kWh. Diesel: N70/kWh. Inverter-battery storage adds N10/kWh on either source. Solar PV is at N40/kWh

Buy adding solar panels and charge controllers to your inverter-battery system, you get a full solar PV system.

[Onyx Energy Tips @OnyxTips]

The cost of power to you is still high especially if you charge up with the diesel. To lower the long term costs you can add the other half

[Onyx Energy Tips @OnyxTips]

This system is roughly half the cost of a DC coupled full solar PV system but gives the benefit of having a power source when the grid fails

[Onyx Energy Tips @OnyxTips]

You can start with an inverter and solar battery system that charges off the grid or an under utilized diesel gen.

In Nigeria, the biggest barrier to going Solar is the initial setup cost. Good news! You can install a system in stages. #solar #solarcosts

4. If your batteries require maintenance (filling with distilled water) don't wait till performance dips, top the water regularly.

3. Avoid partial contact at the lug/ terminal points. This causes arcing and heating. A no no for any electrical connection.

2. Keep your batteries clean. Dust can trap moisture between the terminals and cause a continual discharge. That's bad for battery life.

1. Keep your batteries cool. If you have your battery rack in a room, ensure there is proper ventilation. Hot batteries are poor batteries
