🔋 Solar Load Calculation: How Much Can Your Solar System Carry?
One major question for Nigerian homeowners is whether a solar system can carry appliances like air conditioners (AC), freezers, TVs, and fans. Using a practical example, we calculate load capacity for a 3.6kW Inverter with 8kWh Lithium Battery from Itel Energy Solar.

⚙️ Example Solar Load Calculation
For a 1.5HP inverter AC (~1000W running, ~1500W surge) plus appliances:
- Deep Freezer (350W running, 500W surge)
- 55″ TV (100W)
- 10 LED Bulbs (10W each = 100W)
- Ceiling Fan (75W)
Total running load: ~1275W.
With an 8,000Wh lithium battery, this setup can run for about 6 hours 20 minutes.
⏳ Charging with NEPA/PHCN Electricity
Recharging an 8kWh Itel Energy Solar battery with NEPA light:
- 1 NEPA unit = 1kWh
- 8kWh battery requires ~8 units
- At ₦225 per unit (Band A), cost ≈ ₦1,800
- Charging time with 3.6kW inverter ≈ 2 hours 30 minutes
☀️ Charging with Solar Panels
This solar generator supports up to 5000W solar input. Example with 550W panels:
- 9 × 550W panels = 4950W input
- Recharge time ≈ 2 hours 30 minutes (peak sunlight)
- Recommended: Minimum 5–6 panels for stable performance
