Cable Runs (measure these)

Keep these adjacent — that is standard practice and keeps cable size sane.

2. Recommended System Specifications

Calculated for 24/7 reliability in Ibadan
Recommended Inverter
1.2 kVA Pure Sine Wave
System Voltage: 12V
Running Load: 645WDaily Usage: 8.0 kWh
Peak starting demand:945W

When your inverter refrigerator kicks in, it briefly draws far more than its running watts. Any installer you hire must confirm their inverter's surge rating covers this, not just the running load.

Recommended Battery Bank
6.5 kWh Lithium (LiFePO4)
Or Tubular Equivalent: 870Ah at 12V — a single 12V unit rated 870Ah or more.220Ah is the common stock size in Nigeria. You would need to step up to the next available size, or accept slightly less overnight backup.
Momentary DC draw at start:~88A at 12V

Within the 100A continuous limit of common lithium BMS units. Confirm the datasheet figure anyway — continuous and peak BMS ratings are often quoted interchangeably by vendors.

⚡ 10+ year lifespan with LiFePO4 Lithium (charges in ~2.5 hrs).
Solar Panels Needed
4x 550W Tier-1 Panels
Total Solar Array Power: 2200W
☀️ Based on 5.3 peak sun hours/day for your market (mean of 6 Ibadan hubs (5.2–5.4)), with a ×1.3 derating factor for Nigerian heat, harmattan dust and monsoon cloud — matching our published derating study.
Minimum cable size for your measured runs
Battery → inverter (88A DC):25 mm² copperlimited by current capacity
Array → controller (2S at 83V):10 mm² copper

Sized to satisfy both a maximum 2% voltage drop and the cable's current-carrying capacity, plus a practical minimum for battery circuits. If an installer proposes thinner cable than this, ask which constraint they think does not apply.

Turnkey Budget Estimate (Nigeria)
₦850,000 – ₦1,250,000

Includes Inverter, Lithium Battery, Panels, Mounting Racks, Breakers, Cables & Professional Installation.
