Backup Power Using Solar Energy

[jhojhie45]

Lately, dumadami na po yun mga nakikita ko na online sellers ng solar power. Meron po ba sa inyo na gumagamit ng solar energy for backup power? Ano po kaya ang ideal power rating at saan po yun pinakamura/reliable na seller?

I am considering to get one set that is enough to at least power the skimmer and return pump which is less than 100w. Better if kayanin pati wavemaker.

Thanks.

In my opinion, yung equipment na nasa DT mo with your corals and fishes are the most important. Sump area kaya nila yun pero fish mo and corals need ng water movement. Wavemaker is the best. If mahina wavemaker mo, then go for return pump. Skimmer hindi naman ganon ka important pag nag brownout compare sa wavemaker. HTH in which pumps will use the emergency power. syempre kung kaya iaccomodate lahat better.

Kaya ko naman naisip na i-power din yun skimmer is to provide aeration na rin sa water together with the return pump. I had experience in the past kasi na yun fishes died due to lack of oxygen. At that time, wala ako tyaga na i-aerate manually yun water for the entire duration na walang kuryente which lasted more than one day.

I just hope somebody can give suggestion kung saan makakahanap ng cheap and reliable system. Better if meron makapagbibigay man lang ng advise also kung paano mag-setup ng solar power system.

most are using generator set

merong mga gensets na nagkakahalaga lang ng 4,000.00-5,000.00 pesos...

ang 100watts na solar panel na magandang brand maaring aabot ng 1,000.00-2,000.00 pesos....

hindi pa kasali ang inverter,battery,at charge controller....

i'm thinking of having a 250W solar panel installed by solaric.. HOG (hybrid off grid).. saan meron na 1k na 100W? tha't like 10 pesos per watt.. hindi naman ata ganun ka mura yun.. i bought sa raon 5 years ago nasa 200 per watt pa lang..

[jhojhie45]

Magkano kaya aabutin ang cost ng solaric for the complete 250w setup?

[obet_carlos]

750W pala.. pwede i loan sa pagibig housing loan eh.. inaaral ko pa.. iba yung off grid sa HOG eh.. may battery pa kasing kasama..

Pag off grid, may battery talaga para ma store yung harvested energy. Yung ibang option is sell and buy back sa power provider, which is selling the generated excess power to the grid during AM, then buying back power from the grid at night. Pero check nyo muna sa power provider kung papayag sila nito. I think limited pa ang may ganitong option.
