Solar Pump: How Many Batteries Do I Need?



 Usually, this question is better phrased as “How long do you want your Solar pump to RUN?”, then specific calculations can be made to determine the proper battery bank size.

Remember “RUN” is an important word. Calculate battery size for constant “RUN” time and for normal use, since the Solar pump will turn on/off depending on the desired period and the external ambient temperature.

Time for some math!

STEP 1
Amps Calculations
Watts = Volts x Amps
Battery capacity is expressed by how many Amps for how many hours a battery will last. Amp-Hour (A.H.) capacity

Estimate the total Watts (or Amps) the Solar pump uses while operating, and how long the pump needs to operate. The electrical loads are not constant, so estimations must be made.
​Suppose you were to run an Solar pump for one hour, which draws 500 Watts from a Solar Panel (for simple calculations).

500 Watts from a 12-volt battery requires the battery to deliver approximately 42 Amps.
(500 Watts ÷ 12 Volts = 42 Amps)
500 Watts from a 24-volt battery requires the battery to deliver approximately 21 Amps.
(500 Watts ÷ 24 Volts = 21 Amps)
500 Watts from a 48-volt battery requires the battery to deliver approximately 10 Amps.
(500 Watts ÷ 48 Volts = 10 Amps)

Step 2
Amp-Hour Calculations
If the hypothetical Solar pump is to operate for 3 hours:
​Taking 500 Watts from a 12-volt battery requires the battery to deliver approximately 84 Amps.
(500 Watts ÷ 12 Volts = 42 Amps) x 3 = 126 Amps
Taking 1000 Watts from a 24-volt battery requires the battery to deliver approximately 41 Amps.
(500 Watts ÷ 24 Volts = 21 Amps) x 3= 63 Amps
​Taking 1000 Watts from a 48-volt battery requires the battery to deliver approximately 21 Amps.
(500 Watts ÷ 48 Volts = 10 Amps) x 3 = 30 Amps

For a 12-Volt battery: 84 Amps DC x 3 hours = 126 A.H.
For a 24-volt battery: 41 Amps DC x 3 hours = 63 A.H.
For a 48-volt battery: 21 Amps DC x 3 hours = 30 A.H.

Example 1
swimming pool Solar pump running at 500-Watt, running 1/3 of the time would be estimated at 166.66 Watts-per-hour. (500/3 = 166.66 watts )
Example 2
A hypothetical solar swimming pool pump draws 13.8 Amps at 12 Volts DC. By multiplying 14 Amps x 12 Volts, you find out the pump uses 166 Watts. The batteries will need to deliver 13.8 Amps to run the pump (166 Watts/12 Volts = 13.8 Amps).
Example 3
Let’s say you have a 100A.H battery for your system that is 12 volts (push) and 100 amp hours (storage capacity).

You could find out approximately how much energy this battery will store/provide by calculating the watt-hours. To do this, just multiply the volts (V) x the amp hours (AH) and divide by 500 (the hypothetical solar swimming pool pump).
Volts x Amp Hours / 500 = Watt Hours
12V x 100AH = 1200 / 500 = 2.4 Watt Hours
What this means is that you can power a 500-watt solar swimming pool pump for 2.4 hours on a fully charged battery.

STEP 3
Battery Usage
You do not want to use 100% of the battery’s capacity for fear of ruining the battery. When calculating battery size remember to also calculate a safe usable percentage of the batteries.
​(battery capacity)mAh ÷ (solar swimming pool pump consumption)mA * 0.7 = estimated hours
(battery capacity)mAh ÷ (solar swimming pool pump consumption)mA * 0.6 = estimated hours
(battery capacity)mAh ÷ (solar swimming pool pump consumption)mA * 0.5 = estimated hours
(battery capacity)mAh ÷ (solar swimming pool pump consumption)mA * 0.4 = estimated hours

​Battery Usage Example
Suppose you operate a swimming pool Solar pump for one hour, which draws 500 Watts (for simple calculations).
​Taking 500 Watts from a 12-volt battery requires the battery to deliver approximately 42 Amps.
(500 Watts ÷ 12 Volts = 42 Amps)
​(100)mAh ÷ (42)mA * 0.7 = 1.67 estimated hours
(100)mAh ÷ (42)mA * 0.6 = 1.43 estimated hours
(100)mAh ÷ (42)mA * 0.5 = 1.19 estimated hours
(100)mAh ÷ (42)mA * 0.4 = 0.95 estimated hours

Let’s put this all together.
​Step 1:
​Determine swimming pool Solar pump Watts.
Watts = Volts x Amps
Step 2:
Determine pump Amp Hours.
Amps = Volts x Watts
​Step 3:
Determine Battery Amp Hours.
Batteries x Amp Hours
​Step 4
Determine total battery system capability based on percentages.
mah÷mA*(percentage of charge)= total estimated run time

Should I boycott SilverBird Cinema, others as it's a foreign Agent in place to re-write our History?




How about boycotting SilverBird Cinema, others  as it's a foreign Agent in place to re-write our History?
I think the simple answer to that is a big Yes. Just check all the programs or films they have, you will never see any film or cinema that is of Local Language translated in English. (Be it award winning Yoruba Film, Igbo or Hausa). There have been re-writing the Yoruba, Igbo and others history for over a century and these are the element of the missionaries in place to continue eradicating the existing culture, tradition and identity of the people.

What happens when we finally loss our Identity, our language, tradition or cultural heritage ?

Well, what is happening to the African Americans in the U.S is what will happen to us when that time comes, we will have no choice other than to live in frustration and accept anything thrown at us by the forces that impose their lifestyle on us. A typical example of that is when they told us to start accepting gays in our society, a time will come that we will have no choice, by then we will have no sense of reality as we would have finally lost our identity, cultural heritage and sense of human.

What other Elements of re-writing exiting tradition like Silver Bird Exist in Nigeria ?

There is a lot of them. The last time I went to Zenith Bank in Lagos and I was speaking in Yoruba to the less exposed customer care service, which I believe should be happy that I am speaking Yoruba to them cos this is Yoruba land which I also expect they should be happy and welcome anyone speaking Igbo to them in the East and Housa in the North. I had to walk out of the premises because i would not speak English in Zenithi Bank, a foreign tradition in my own land.

In switzerland, where they have 3 foreign official Languages and 1 Romash Offcial, everything is going on smoothly and they are all preserving their traditions. But in Zenith Bank, the opposite is the case and since then I have branded this private entity as an agent of the west put in place to continue re-writing the history. Little do these people know about the damage they are doing to Nigeria and the people. Other banks like GTB, FBN when you call their customers care, you have the option to choose Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa, Pidgin or even the foreign language English but Zenith bank is opposite and you will quickly notice the low level of clients in their bank branches.

This is also an agent of the colonial days, reminding us of why we need to stop speaking our own language and to embrace the foreign one which has not helped us at all. I even prefer to learn Chinese now more than English when you compare the level of soft power the Chinese uses in dealing with us and helping us to grow, the difference is huge.


Would you advice People to boycott  these Entities that promote only foreign traditions ?

Absolutely! Cos when you continue to check them out and leaving behind what belongs to you or the people, what you are doing is just selling your self out and buying into anything foreign. And the result is what we have today in our economy. People complain  of Naira and Dollar Exchange and putting the blame on the Government  (Although the Government is also a semi puppet to the foreign masters cos as at the time we needed a Fidel Castro's model, all we got was Awo and Zik, mere politician, a liar)


The simple solution is to boycott these entities that are in place, discriminating against existing traditions and only promoting that of foreign traditions particularly in Yoruba Land or even Igbo Land

Life Sciences Investors and Pharma/Biotech Corporations



IoT and Connected Health are attractive opportunities for Life Sciences Investors and Pharma/Biotech Corporations.

The emergence of Internet of Things (IoT) has significantly accelerated Connected Health. IoT is the vast network of items and devices that connect to the internet, regularly via a wireless connection so that data can be shared, stored, sent, managed and used effectively with maximum efficiency and security.

Life Sciences Investors

For Life Sciences VC and PE investors, investing at the interaction of data and healthcare is a strong value proposition.  Most of the data assets have low intrinsic risk compared with Life Sciences assets/opportunities. So a traditional Life Sciences investment manager, investing in digital health is taking a low risk.
The gestation periods associated with IoT/Connected Health investment opportunities are much shorter than those of Life Sciences assets/opportunities, making returns on investment higher.  There might be market inefficiency due to the convergence of two seemingly different sectors, giving one a chance to invest at a favourable price.  Finally, attractive exit options exist as the major healthcare providers, pharma/biotech etc. are interested in the Digital health area.

For pharma/biotech corporations, entering the IoT/Connected Health space is critical. Most pharmaceutical and biotechnology corporations are seeking to enhance their assets/brands, and adding a digital facet is a relatively easier, cost-effective and time-efficient option. With the general trend towards 'outcome based pricing', most pharma/biotech corporations have demonstrated (are demonstrating) increased adherence and prevention, leading to better outcomes for patients, less hospitalisation and cost savings for the healthcare providers. 

This translates into a persuasive real-world evidence-based value story that payers prefer.
Operational efficiency gain is another reason for pharma/biotech corporations to be partnering with data/device makers, particularly in areas such as clinical trials, regulatory filings, post-marketing monitoring, etc.  

IoT/Connected Health per se is not a core competency of pharma/biotech corporations, so they routinely complement this by engaging in licensing and partnering deals. Rivalry among the pharma/biotech is driving many deals in the Digital health area covering multitude diseases and the trend is likely to continue. This in turn increases the likelihood of successful exit for investors, data and connected health companies.

Home Alarm Systems




At any rate, these frameworks ought to be made out of a control board, remote entryway and window sensors, perceptible alert, and ideally some kind of reconnaissance camera with a movement sensor.

The main genuine real contrast between a DIY home caution framework and an expert one is the all day, every day video observing administration accommodated you. This expert observing is turning out to be less vital as D I Y frameworks make strides. Once a sensor has been set off, the control board will consequently transfer that data to the mortgage holders telephone or email by means of either a WiFi, cell, or landline association.

Most the majority of the top brands offer basically proportionate gadgets and components. A large number of them even utilize the same hardware maker. Innovations that power the continually extending home caution industry are getting to be general. What does this mean for the client? Truly the main significant contrast between brands is their valuing plans and included elements.
