Small kits for villages in Nigeria?

Good Morning,

I would like your opinion for the kits that will be for Africa.

All material will have to be from Victron and will be installed in villages without electricity in Nigeria.

Our client asked us if it would be possible to make kits of different powers for basic consumption with autonomy only for a few hours at night (250w and 375w are just led lighting and charging cell phones, the 800W for led lighting and a refrigerator) where a small generator can be coupled (Kit 4, 5 and 6).

The first thing that will happen if you supply inverters, will be someone plugging in a power tool, or an immersion heater and destroying inverters and batteries.

Lighting and charging mobile devices can be done from 12v, and 12v to 5v usb converters.

Hi, avoid generators for recharging batteries, they are usually used as backups, but consider increasing the size of the solar panels and batteries. Also, much better keeping all the setup with low voltage 12/24V for lighting & mobile phone charging station via USB. Esay to find, costless, regarding the refrigerators, you can find STECA PF-166 working at 12/24V, eliminating the need of an inverter and that could be run with its own solar panel.
