Queen, The solar panels are 100watts by 6 hours daily sunlight average, implying that each panel can only generate a possible 600watts a day for a combined daily production of 2400watts or 2.4kw. If you use a US microwave that uses between 800watts to a 1000watts and stove that uses 200-450watts, that’s not enough for a 5~bedroom house that’ll use light and fans, let alone AC and major appliances When you’re ready for a proper solar system, you’ll need to get a 10KW 48V Hybrid Inverter that accepts up to 500-550watt solar panels. Now if you buy 4 of the 500watts panel, each can generate 3000watts or 3kw for a combined 12,000 watts or 12kw. This you can have plenty to use and store some for night usage without needing ECG. However you’ll also need a 5Kwh to 10KWh LiFeP04 battery to store energy. This should last you for the next 5-10 years of use in every day charge and discharge Also Simran Stepdown transformer is actually very good. I also have the 20kw and a 5KW
Some of the items bought from the US are also made for both voltages of either 110v or 220v. These days a lot of items like TVs and more support both voltages but it should be specific to the item on the box.
I think with your water system they should all be connected to your backup power so that even when the power goes off both your water tanks can operate with the pumps to work as normal without any tank cutting off supply.
You can also get a couple more electric generator and some have just additional batteries or just the same one amd connect them together in series and it will increase your battery storage and you can also add more solar panels to it and increase the charge time. This battery pack you have is for RVs but you can buy more and add it by connecting them together in series which will increase your battery storage. This system you have has an inbuilt inverter and you can buy and add more solar panels to it to its maximum limit on the manual. Adding more electric storage or to the Currant one only increases your storage capacity in hours. The more solar you have the quicker your batteries charge up. Also beat to buy panels that have a higher watts than 100watta because the higher the wattage the quicker it changes. The system you have is good enough to power your home if you add a couple of the same unit to it and it has an inbuilt inverter that will let it automatically switch to a charging source between the grid power of ECG and the solar panels. It has an inbuilt BMS (battery management system ) which controls the charging. You can have this setup ib a way that its a hybrid system and you wouldn't realise when the main grid ECG power goes off because the power flows through from grid to your batteries to the house, so when the grid power cuts your inbuilt inverter switches automatically to the solar panels to recharge and if theres no panels or is at night the power continues to flow from your batteries without any power cut. So best is to increase the capacity of your battery power system by added a couple more of this same system and connect together. Some manufacturers have additional battery packs thay you can buy and plug it into each other in series to increase your battery storage. So check the website of the brand you have for additional batteries and solar panels. You do not need any new system in future having this because you can always add more batteries and solar panels of the same brand to it, some can be connected with other brands because if the connection plugs to link them together without having to cut any wires.
Hi, Can you find out from him if it's possible to use US 220V appliances like dryer, electric stove, etc, in Ghana with the SIMRAN? Those items use two 110v wires with a center tap neutral wire in the US. The trick is the two live 110v wires coming into the homes in the US are 180 degree out of phase (i.e. split phase). It's been difficult finding someone in Ghana who has actually done one. Thanks
Hello my sister, You are doing a very good job. I feel compelled to comment on the brief by the electrician. He was not very clear whilst trying to explain the working of the current system. Though there are many ways to generate electricity of which solar is one, but the term of phrase ‘Solar Generator / Electric Generator’ leaves a whole lot of viewers slightly confused. The world over will describe as follows: (1) Main grid power (2) Diesel / Petrol Generator (3) Solar power systems. If described your dual wiring as a separate conversion, I am sure the viewers would have understood more clearly. The source of power, numbered above, powering the socket/ lights, regardless of 110 / 220. On the whole, I was able discern what was being said, but not sure if majority were. Lovely home by the way 🎉
This looks like a backup power system. It basically stores energy for later use similar to UPS but with a bigger battery. Some of them can be connected to solar panels as well to charge the battery. I might do a video on power backup systems soon. I hope you'll now have at least some power during power outage, can be frustrating
It’s just like the system the toilet is done, there is a controller that indicates the water container is at level to stop flowing and when it’s low, it automatically start flowing. It’s the same system there are talking about
@yaababy1572: I wonder why the company will call it Safari Power Generator (3,000W, 1,612Wh, LifePO4) if it is not an electric generator. I think you know better than the company. Solar panel is useless without the generator/power bank. lionenergy.com. Thanks for watching.
I was trying to do both voltages in my house but I realized it wasn’t necessary cos I only needed it in my kitchen and living room tv not the entire house.
I think you actually do. You may have an electronic equipment that uses 110v for your bedroom, eg a bedside lamp or laptop or even tv in the bedroom. I got an Airbnb and the owner had a 110v in the bedroom, at least one or two and it made my life much much easier because I was able to connect my electronic gadgets directly without needing a stepdown
Like under John mahama, we had no dumsor. Under mahama , it was actually 10x worse. And he was right when he said Ghanaians have short-term memory. U prove his point. NDC/NPP BOTH ve destroyed this nation. 30 years with nothing to show for, still ve dirts, many place in ghana is under developed. Stop that nonsense. Any Ghanaian who votes for either party is a fool and brainwashed

Hi SIs, Great information. Thank you. By the way, you are looking youthful and fit. Continued blessings to you! ✌🏾💖🙏🏾

@lilyokwaisie5935: You're welcome. Thanks for watching.
Hi Queen, how much and where did you buy the transformer?
Sis thanks so much
Hi Ashanti Queen , can you pls tell me the total cost of your solar panel and electric generator?
I believe it was less than a $1K at Costco.

@@AshantiQueen sure will do. Thanks

Nice. Thanks
Bro get a website
Sis, what you have is a solar panel system and not an electric generator. There's nothing like an electric generator.

Actually it is a solar generator. It an all in one system that has its own inverter and battery. I help people get a real solar system.
Hi sis, I didn’t see his phone number, can you please give them to me? Thanks

What's his number
Does this guy know what he is talking about? He is very confusing.........Vote John Mahama and all this nonsense will go away..........
