MrOkenwa:


The instability in the prices of materials is very discouraging. Upon reading baba eegun's comment about possible increase in price, I immediately called chekitout if he could supply 120 bags but he told me that he was not available at that time. I was able to buy 100 bags from the neighborhood, at the rate of 2,650 before they stopped selling to us, based on suspicion.
My target is 200 bags. I'll see if we can get more today, before they hike the price in Abeokuta.

Beware of making upfront payment/deposit in time like this though to avoid stories that touch.

This is the time when the delivery truck get spoilt on the road or the machine they’re using to produce cement need maintenance and they’ve called engineers from Singapore to come and fix it.

Buy whatever quantity you can see if the price is good.

1 battery
2 panels
Accessories maybe 50k. I use inverter AC and it carries my Washing machine. It not the size of your apartment, usage is key.

During the day, I only use tv especially during cold weather, all lights are off during the day, you use light when you need it. The AC works for maximum 6hrs and then I cool off with the fan.

It a 3-bedroom apartment.

Pls do you mind sharing the contact of your supplier/installer with me.

Thanks.

I see, a few pages back, Gbadexy offered you a collabo. I would jump on it if I were you, if only to learn how to better communicate with potential clients.

You may be in the right but this tone will put me off as a potential client, in what is a simple case of miscommunication.

Good luck.
My able chairman, you are correct sir. I guess the heavy scrutiny took it's toll on him.
As bad as it may seem, such close scrutiny and feedbacks would help sanitize this thread as intending fraudsters and pretenders would find it difficult to stay.
I don't know anything in building except paint and allied products. His offer sounds great but I want to follow him and understand more about the grades and the materials so that I can have a solid information to give interested people.
I would however make payment for one door to be given to any builder that is interested in confirming the effectiveness of the door.
I don't have a doubt his clients are already in waiting.
Lest I forget, I appreciate you greatly sir.

Pls what brand did u buy that hv lasted this long. My neighbor bought panels and inverter that carries Ac and fridge but it never last up to 6months . Pls any recommendation on brand .
earthrealm:


For uninformed people, or hotels.
Its a no brainer using generator in this day and age by an avg nigerian.
I detest gen noise.

Part of the reason is that the renewable energy biz juust like other sectors in nigeria is unregulated.
Clowns fronting as installerrs, who make a mess of things, making people to believe solar doesnt work.

My folks the in the village has been hving 247 light since 2013 or so all thanks to solar, as phcn is non existent there.
4 batts, 8 panels, 1.5kva inverter.
Fridge runs 8am to 4.30pm daily, controlled by timer socket

@ 20ft container, am interested as well, prices am seeing are quite discouraging, plus transport cost. As lagos seems to be the epicenter

Did you call the seller? There should be warranty.

2 years 100% unlimited warranty and prorated for additional 3 years and then remaining 5 years factory warranty is my structure.

I suspect ypur neighbours own failed cos of overloading.
He probablly had only 4 batteries and put ac on it.
8 x 12v x 200ah batteries is the minimum size of batteey you shud have b4 thinking of ac.

Its like using 2001 camry to tow a truck, it will tow the truck ok, but be prepared To replace gear box and or engine after that

This brings up another interesting point.

Owners needs to pay attention to solar equipment more than a generator. For gen you just change oil and you're done, maybe air filter once in a while. But for solar you need to watch the alarms and interpret, monitor the harvesting, for lead acid batteries top up the water, etc Not daunting but those that just install the solar system and forget about it usually have issues.

The cheap inverters might not have overload protection, battery level monitoring, etc and the reason why I like hybrid inverters is that if push comes to show you can always fire your gen to charge the batteries. Nothing kills a battery faster than not properly charging them or letting them run down to zero.

Can u stop wasting your time on those two empty things? Do not let what they say move u oo. They are full of mouth! Continue marketing your work, those that will patronise will do so. Don't waste your time trying to convince engunmoaji & brabus(next), they have nothing to offer u. If u were here when this thread started, u would know those two! If u like, continue wasting your time on them, na u sabi.

Those that patronize vendors here don't make noise about it!



in as much as I agree with what u said but I differ on brabus(next), he hasn't said anything bad so far and is even encouraging the guy to keep his head up.

I think you are having a rough and unjustified rough patch and ride. From most of the post directed at you, it is not difficult to see you are being cyber bullied. This is no longer crytical analysis. This is bulling.

I have followed your dignified responses and I wish to offer my support to your effort and encourage you in finding honest enterprise.

You answered and supplied all requested information eloquently and some have turned around and use this against you. How can a common welder speak and write so eloquently. Don't be discouraged na Naija way. Superiority complex with some Nigerians na 5 and 6.

You post pictures, no you must post from cloud. You post concept designs, no you must post all doors from one location. It is never enough. Don't be discouraged. Life is a science. If you are out for honest enterprise, trust me, success will find you. And it will be like magic.

You have not done anything wrong in your response to queries concerning your work so I openly condem any unfounded labeling you as fraudulent. I stand by you and support you in finding honest enterprise.

I recognise you are a human being. I recognise you are trying to find honest enterprise. So be encouraged.

We all need a break or two and a kind (Chi) kindred spirit to make it in life. Say "yes" and your chi will say yes. Those whose palm karnel has been cracked by a benevolent spirit, should not forget to be humble (and kind).

Happy Birthday and many happy returns.



God bless you plenty and it's not like the bully wants to engage him at all. That they are priveleged doesn't mean life ends there, I can imagine how he treats people that works for him in reality if he does this on a faceless forum.
life na jeje oh!
