I'm opening this thread as an addendum to this:

https://www.nairaland.com/684167/inverter-users-lets-experience

As we all know, we have many of them in the range of:

solar
Inverter
Biogass
Biomass
Tidal waves
Wind energy
Small hydro electricity generation etc

acorntree:

Of all these means of generating electricity only the solar technology is efficient and reliable. Note: because of the high cost of procuring solar panels + inverter + batteries+others assesories, you can only use it as a backup. So one still need a stable means of electricity which only the government can provide. Such kind of power generation can only be achieved through building dams, nuclear power technology, gas power, or any other system using a replaceable source of energy which can easily be replenished. And these technology are beyond individual.
A kilowatt of electricity is costly to generate. What we pay to NEPA is subsidized. Individual power generation either through solar or any other technology is not the best solution to power problem. Bulk generation is the only workable solution just like mass production. It will be cheaper in the long run, and easy to maintain. A company generate electricity from solar farm (in kw) then distributes to individual.

I agree with you baba11.
Some people are aware of Renewable Energy and some are not. Some of the people that are aware do not believe that its the solution to our power situation due to the failure of our solar street lights. The failure is due to bad design and using cheap materials in order for the contractor to make more profit.
You can start your Solar Home installation for as little as N300K and add to it later as the money becomes available. This will not sustain you for 24hrs but will at last make a difference.

Renewable energy is still quite expensive and a little inefficient. Govt would prefer bringing in generators than ba3s, solar panels and inverters cos fuel must be sold and forex outflow checked. Solar power manufacturers must be encouraged 2 setup shop here. They should encourage vertical integration in this sector just as they are doing in d car and sugar industries

well written. The prob of this country is bad leadership, no futuristic plans and we are so not proactive.. We'v got gas and oil dont we? So why can't we just utilize this gold we got here and lets see the results. Just imagine us; one of the top ten oil producers have non effcient refineries and extensive gas lines ?! Just take a look at brazil, they are energy independent!
Our government is a burden on us, sorry to say..

I support you wholeheartedly but can't we think of settling up others apart from solar and inverters. I remember ed some years back I wanted training and information on biogass and biomass, I couldn't get any.We engineers have to think strategically in invention and innovation to upgrade our country through settling up any of these;supplying it to the national grid and making cool money

sleekman:
Some of our engineers are lazy while some are looking out 4 security(economic). The govt can perhaps start by establishing and changing patenting laws in d country. People with ideas will rather travel out of d country 2 setup shop for this singular reason.

baba11:
I support you and these are the major challenges we face in our country.How do one dissuade an engineer from working in a bank and other non-engineering based sector when there's no alternative for us.I believe we can make change to this status quo in our own little way!

sleekman:
Who says solar is d most efficient? Where will natural gas go? Why do u think almost all d developed world is going 4 natural gas? Its most cost effective, efficient and reliable.

zeestone99:
I don't think renewable energies re unreliable, they re very reliable but expensive nd not affordable to d common man, one problem with dis country is we lack proper orientation, we waste energy because we r so used 2 it nd no one is takin it serious, wen i was in sch my lecturer was lecturing on a course titled energy nd all d whole light bulb was switched on in d afternoon, datz vewi wrong....
Wen using renewable energy we v to save energy, datz y wen I install inverters 4 my clients I mk load seperation mandatory, using generators causes more harm Dan good in our environment n I tink we all knw dat, frm greenhouse gasses to ozone layer blablabla.... Since our govt is nt ready to provide power due to dier selfish reasons , renewable energy is our only source of clean energy, wht we shud pray 4 is d price reduces alongside tech advancement

sleekman:
Yes we can. In most developed countries people that start out in technological/innovative entrepreneurship started with paid employment and with their salaries start producing things in their backyard. Once they are confident they can get a market 4 a product and fashion out a way 2 produce such a product @ a profit then they go 4 patenting and then find a way 2 source capital. There are special banks and venture capitalists always ready 2 finance a profitable product/idea.
The idea should be get a good paying job, save and then use savings 2 start inventing a product. For instance, literate welders and engineers should be able 2 team up 2geda and build machines currently being imported into this country. Rather what we have is when someone gets a good paying job they don't want 2 take any risks so they buy cars, houses, designer clothes etc. Instead of fetching ideas 4rm d net and redesigning and re-applying these 4d local environment.

baba11:

Are you ready to team up with me?

zeestone99:


Add me on watapp 08184171193... Letz rub minds

baba11:

Does natural gas has high output yield?

baba11:

Are you ready to team up with me?

sleekman:
what are we teaming up for? What's ur idea/product and specialty?

sleekman:
Natural gas has d highest output yield in d market.

baba11:

Well, I want us to rubb minds,besides,we can put up something due to our team work like generation of electricity through non conventional method and probably,relaying part of it into the national grid whereas we too can generate money without Waiting for the government for job or assist. Mind you,we have several untapped means of generating electricity and I believe this is a goldmine if we ain't lazy with what we are capable of doing!
