Why nt solar,
With ur solar panels and inverter,
U good to go

Heard there is lotta wind in the north though

Its the same way the major natural resource we have is crude, but still import PMS....

Tokziby:
How Nigeria has failed to generate power from alternative source is beyond me. The abundance of sunlight in the north is enough to generate uninterrupted power for the north with the provision on solar panel. Likewise the hilly topography in the middle belt is enough for a windmill farm and will power the whole of the middle belt. And the coastal part and massive ocean current is enough for hydro power generation for the whole sw,ss,se and the entire nation but na lie. Na to dey blame gas, blame vandals of electric wire, blame climate for dryness and too much water. Between 1999 till date if we were to estimate the amount of money spent on power N 5trillion will be the starting point yet no power. Go to the poorest asian country with no oil like indonesia, philipines, taiwan, vietnam, etc They still enjoy 12-20hrs of electricity per day. War torn syria and libya still have power but why us, why Nigeria. This power situation is enough to protest not until when hunger nearly kill us. Make government put all resources into 18-24hrs power supply and see if recession will not find its square root. Majority of companies winding down is not solely due recession but the running cost of power.

A Nigerian man tired of the country's epileptic power supply has installed a windmill so he can generate his own electricity.

His neighbour Deji Garuba shared the story on Instagram and said:
My neighbor has had enough of #PHCN wahala. The guy just installed a windmill to generate power. We haven't had #PHCN power for more than 30hrs in the last one year, the cost of running generators is neck breaking. This is what my dear country has become, electricity has become space science that the government can not easily provide or even encourage efficient private sector participation in the provision of power. God help us all!

only in Nigeria do civilian generate its own power.provide its own water,have his own security, provide his own road etc.

do we have a govt in this country

That's one of the folkish things Buhari did to include power with works and use fashola as scape goat.

He is already preparing his excuse y he failed

As long as the wind blows, 24hr power supply is more than guaranteed, all other factors being constant.

you have to have enough solar panels to generate enough electricity also

is it enough to have enough solar panels?
how about strong battery?

Why not take his job instead. Since you know what it is to be done angry

the numbers battery(s) you require depends on you. What you use determines how long it lasts

Yes...if done properly in a windy/open environment. Windmill with an mppt charge controller and good battery will serve.

It is similar to solar panel/inverter arrangements. Some generates DC power then use to charge battery bank which is fed into the inverter to supply load.

I can tell you you aren't far from the truth. If more people install windmill in their homes, the state government will add it to her list of revenue generation.

Windmill is Not an efficient source of energy generation, the power generated from it is low. You have to have the mill many for it to improve.
Solar is better.


that's where you got it wrong, you also need lots of solar panels to generate more current...
from my experience I thing wind mills are more efficient and affodable

Better tell your militant brothers in the ND and the olojukokoro iPod youths that collide with them to stop bursting pipelines, and leave the innocent Fashola alone. Its annoying when the same people responsible for a problem start opening their dirty criminal mouths to complain about the same problem they caused!

Gbam!

When there is wind, the power produced is stored for use. When there is no wind, you use stored power.

Wrong. Windmills are more efficient than solar powered systems. Your boldness in ignorance worries me. cheesy

Anything to get away from the dependency on those PHCN f-kers. We currently use 2 solar panels/batteries and life has never been better.
can u share d cost and components in the package

One mill can serve a flat if you have enough wind around you. The bigger the mill/coil the better the current

Very excellent like Yardua wanted to implement in Katsina but the danger of this is not just for killing of birds but incident of the blades.
this is a construction and was supposed to be built at non residential areas with metrology data indicating the speed of the wind but there will be variation and low maintenance because welded joins subjected to forces induced from rotation would fail.Some might inspect after a time but considering we even refuse to change engine oils I pity neighbours and pray it doesn't happen.If you doubt me go to the mechanical engineering department of NDA,the blade is broken and was an incident

This is the most intelligent post on this thread.

Kudos.

My greatest fear on my site is future brain dead activities of neighbors.
