1000 Watt Solar PV Installation at Nwanniba Uyo Feedback And the Next Plan !!
After One Month of Solar Installation and Usage Successfully, it is only Wise to review or Write Feedback on the Operation and how effective It has served within this Interval.
Related Post on the Installation :Steem Solar PV Is Finally A Reality In Nigeria, Thank you For The Support.
This is for Proper analysis and readjustment if necessary as this will contribute to the Positive outcome of this Project or any other future Project of Such.
Now to help us get the sense of this Message, in this text I will give attention to three Areas which include:
- Feedback on the Installed Solar PV at Nwanniba, uyo
- Next Plan to Improve the Efficiency of the Installed Solar PV at Nwanniba, Uyo
- Introduction to the Next New Project
Let’s digest it accordingly,
Feedback on the Installed Solar PV at Nwanniba, uyo
So far, the System is working to the best of its ability, serving 20 to 40 people daily in the locality.
And at night, it limits its beneficiaries due to the fast Voltage drop since there is no Sunlight at night unless the stored Charges which is only able to Serve a few people.
The Battery had never gone off before since it was Installed because I personally watch the Progress of the Voltage and Sometimes limit the Usage in other to Sustain the energy. However, the low percentage is not a good time to use it until the battery is charged properly.
But on most occasions, it drops the percentage to a higher figure which is a normal thing, hence the System is in operation.
However, it becomes a great Concern during these past few days due to the much Rainfall over here in Uyo, Nigeria.
You can have a look at the Picture below to have a little glimpse of the weather condition over here and What Forecasters have predicted for the Weather in the Future:
These past few days or weeks have been full of Rain falling in the Environment. It is not a Strange thing to Us since these times is a little Rainy Season, So We tend to expect this.
Two days ago, I put off the Public outlet due to the low percentage of the stored Power.
This is one of the Safety practices of this System in other to Maintain the Battery life Span. It is not a good practice to allow the battery to go off by Itself.
So overall? The Solar System is working well but Needs a few upgrades. Remember, this was a piloting program to see how it will go and now, there are Some interesting facts that I have listed above. And What Next?
Improving the Efficiency of the Installed Solar PV at Nwanniba, Uyo
Haven’t Mention the Feedback and Some challenges In the piloting Program of the Solar PV Installation in Nigeria, there is a Need to Fill in the lapses which have been mentioned above.
Solving this means adding another Battery for more Sustainable Energy and Panels for Fast Charging during this Rainy Season.
This is the Next Action in a plan to be executed immediately.
A budget Post is going to be made by tomorrow 16th August 2022 with @smilenigeria Account.
Next Project
Installation of 2000 Watt Solar PV and Some Sets of Computer Systems In One of the Secondary school here in Nigeria details coming Soon.

I know The weather condition in Nigeria now, especially here in Uyo will really affect the battery, I can only imagine the condition of the solar battery after the 3days rain truly this calls for an upgrade. I'm glad to learn that people in your locality are still benefitting from the solar Pv.
Your next project is gonna be great 😃👍 I can't wait to see the smile it will put on both the teachers and students faces. Keep it up with the good work buddy!
Thank you very much. Upgrade is the deal during this Rainy Season.
Smile is what we know and do, hopefully this Come out positively.
Yes let's hope for the best!
Do you do any monitoring and measuring to record the amount of energy produced each day, and the amount used each day in kWh?
Can you easily expand your system with an additional panel and an additional battery?
Well, before now...I didn't take records, I haven't had the need but I have an estimate of the energy produced and consumed each day.
Basically the system runs for roughly 15 hours daily, each time powering a load of about 700watts or less .
So daily estimate is around 10.5 kwh.
Most times, i had to unplug my PC if much people Come for charging, this is always to help maintain the battery energy especially on days when there is no much Sunlight to charge it fast.
Sure, i will expand the system with additional battery and more Panels , thats the best solution so far for now.
The rain has been consistent here for the past 3 days without sun. It is affecting humans talk more of batteries. Well, I believe that upgrade is just what it needs.
The next project will be great and the school will be lucky to receive those computers and 2000 watt energy panel. Success to you and to all Nigerians
Yeah, it's the raining Season and much of such condition would be expected.
However, upgrade to additional battery and Panel would solve this situation.
The next project would be another mile to run. Computer Education is more than important in the 21-century , providing opportunity like this for these ones to learn through the help of this blockchain would be a great achievement in Nigeria.
I can't wait to see the smiles on the faces of those kids. I pray things work out as projected. Weldone with the great work you are doing
