DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INVERTER SYSTEM AND SOLAR PV SYSTEM




Some weeks back, we installed an inverter system for a client, Broadview Engineering Limited based in Victoria Island and its functionality to the client made me decide to contrast it with a Solar PV system. First, an inverter system is a backup device used in storing energy for use when power supply gets cut off from the source. It comprises a set of batteries and inverter, plugged to an external source of electricity (NEPA or BIG Gen in Nigerian parlance) to charge it. It is a common sight in corporate organizations like banks, oil companies, data centers and even homes where constant electricity is required. In fact, Broadview Engineering Limited installed their inverter system to back up their office data center where computers and servers are located and our engineers and techs fixed them with a lasting inverter system, externally powered to charge of course.

Contrast it with Solar PV system. All that remains for an inverter system to make a Solar PV system is to add PV boards and charge controller and you have the sun ever constant to charge your batteries. What simple economics of wealth retention! I mean if you can afford to spend a million plus to fix an inverter system which gulps a LOT of ENERGY to charge, it should be “beans’ to add a few hundred thou to get yourself off addiction to fuel and diesel. You’d save a lot of dollars and carbon credits. It is true Solar PV is for BIG BOY and GIRLS and you are one if you can contemplate having inverter system. Just upgrade your finance and have the sun charge your battery for free. Believe me, Zeus will repay you with good fortune. Lol

Green friends, we keep planting trees in the cloud by fixing energy issues faced by companies in Lagos and all over Nigeria. If you can manage your energy problems with eco-sense, you’d be smiling all the time. Here is wishing you a happy Easter celebration from Zeus Energy Limited and also wishing Skye a happy wedding preparations. Hook up at Lekki Leisure Garden on Saturday for barbecue and cognac. It’s Skye’s Bash Eve Party.

Cheers!
