Legit.ng contacted the solar expert with the aim of understanding how his 8kWh solar system works after he powered heavy appliances with it.
When asked how long his 8kWh system lasts with heavy appliances, he shared a detailed response:
"You know, everything depends on how you manage the battery capacity, you understand? Yeah, this is an 8kWh battery capacity. At least, if you want to plug something into it, you shouldn't connect anything that is very, very heavy. You can plug in something of at most 1kW, and it will last for about eight hours. If it is below 1kW, it will last even longer. It can also power other things like a pumping machine. Using high-power appliances too often is not good because it will damage the battery. You can use them once in a while, but not frequently."
He also spoke about which is better between lithium batteries and tubular batteries, and explained why:
"Lithium batteries are better than tubular or dry-cell batteries. Lithium batteries have many cells and offer much better durability compared to tubular batteries."
Lastly, he shared what solar users need to do to ensure their systems remain functional for many years.
His statement:
"The maintenance involves frequently checking your panels to see whether they are dusty and making sure you use very good DC wires to connect the panels. This helps to avoid any outbreak of fire from the panels or the solar system."
