I see 250ah lithium battery being sold at 180k: https://jiji.co.ke/mombasa-cbd/solar-energy-products/lithium-battery-250ah-24v-iF6HEe5BahhGO3OI5tcEBTsr.html
I have some minimal experience (a few weeks) with a complete 250watt solar panel setup (panel, charge controller, battery, inverter) at a little more than 20k. It includes a 200ah battery.
Similar to, but not exactly: https://jiji.co.ke/nairobi-central/solar-energy-products/250-watt-full-solar-kit-all-weather-1IHU55vYKABSASooDORUF94F.html
A few weeks because I’m not there full-time.
Maybe ask for the exact brand names, type of battery, labour charged, technical details and know how etc…
I bought the wires for a few hundred shillings at a local hardware.
The ~20k setup was assembled manually, buy following instructions on youtube and understanding positive and negative connections. It has only been tested so far to charge a laptop and phones, no heavier consumption devices. In a well sun-lit location in Kenya at daytime. Did not go below 1 bar of full charge according to the charge controller.
When I get more experience, I might post a full review here
Ingia Alibaba na uwache kusumbua. Huko 3000 usd can get you 5-10 kva. Complete system wewe tu ni kufunga tu.
Hapo Davis and Shirtliff 200ah is 42750. So 4 will be 171,000.
Hatutambui jina sana
Mtu hajui kuspell miscellaneous na unataka kumpea 300k akushughulikie? A simple Google search of solar panels in Kenya will give you something better from akina solartek and the rest. Watt moja ni 50 bob. Hio panel ya 100k plus, unless unabake mawe sio realistic.
Looks fair enough, just double check which panels (mono or poly), inverter and mppt. Of course, you should have had your set up properly sized up.
