those ba3 you listed are Sealed lead acid and not lithium_ion ba3?
what's the difference??

5kw for 4m??... that's small o. I thought it could give like 10kw

Yes it can give up to 10 kilowatts but then it won't be 24 hrs, a lot of things come into play in solar energy and a lot of misconception.

It depends do you want the power mostly day time or mostly night time, how big is your load and average daylight received.

let's say two fridges/freezers, 3 ACs and fans, four TVs, about eight to ten bolbs and occasionally washing machine and iron.
Will it do??

How many horsepower is the AC
Also is it inverter i.e low voltage start.
What is the capacity of the fridge.

Industrial is a phase, the white man should allow us build our own refineries, they already have the platform they are just modifying it, most of their machineries will still run on fossil fuel, what will happen during winter, spring and days of low sunlight,
What will charge the batteries.
guy no let person decieve you say mbaise people no good you come pursue your girlfriend's e come marry am as wife.

It's the white man a d Chinese men who come to Nigeria and build refineries for you. It's not Dangote or Nigerians building the refinery; it's Chinese and white people he hired. Which means Nigerians can't develop by themselves. Yet they are the most ego filled.

Nigerians the most ego filled, where and when did you run your survive to come to that conclusion, Nigerians are loud yes, but to be the most ego filled that is an assumption.

Like I said industrialization is a phase, once upon a time, it was Egypt, then Greece, Persia, Rome, London.
Everyone has contributed their quota to where we currently are, some will fade out, some will evolve, some will be a part of the big picture, some will be the finished product.
We might not be able to build refineries now, but we have started assembling cars.

Mining falls solely under federal government.
Best he can do is frustrate their activities, and liase with them to get proper licences and invest properly.
But like I say as far as it is something that requires constant manpower and machinery , government no send, also most natives are involved and ready to fight any government official that tries to come in.
Unfortunately this had negative consequences to Ebonyi people leaving around the illegal mining axis, because the waste generated without proper waste management is polluting their underground water without them knowing.
That is why the average life expectancy there is 45yrs.

lithium_ion battery is like your normal phone battery where you use it down to 1% but on SLA battery you're not permitted to use it like that you're only to use 50% of every Ah battery you got...

lithium battery is one of the best but it's expensive

Assembly with Chinese built assembly machines....

When a Nigerian enhances an already Chinese built internal combustion engine then Nigerians will begin to garner respect on the global scene.

Nigerians already have respect on the international scene.

We already have jigs producing engines, moreover not all parts in an equipment necessarily comes from one place

What do you mean by when a Nigerian enhances a Chinese built........

Are you comparing what an individual can do, to what a complete does.

Like I said, technology is a collection of collectively efforts in different eras, wyou are either a part of the bigger picture or a custodian of the finished product.

You can use sealed lead acid batteries designed for deep depth of discharge to an efficient 80 percent discharge, the problem is we have so many fakes, this is what actually made me loose interest in solar installation.

If you can get geniue not repackaged li-ion batteries, better for you, but except you are writing to reputable companies who don't usually sell less than 10 its a hard catch.

tnx...but is the lithium-ion battery available in Nigeria?

Nigerians have no respect on the international scene. Chinese give you loan, build your refinery, build your rail tracks, build your phone's and cars. The black man in Africa not talking about those in US has produced NOTHING.

Nigerians do have respect outside, I wonder what you are talking about.

America owes China more than 100 times what Nigeria owes them and equally has their phones built by them.
China's policy on giving Africa loans is that, they will handle the infrastructure those loans are meant for.
So what exactly are you yearning about.

it is scarce getting it now is importing it from china and I don't trust our Alaba brothers again, they find it easy in selling fake batteries to people and repackage ba3cell to people

Transitioning to clean energy would be very difficult for any 3rd World Country, not just Africa.
Very easy, it takes just one policy backed by legislation, the black man is a hopeless creature, Britain went from 4% renewable energy use in 2009 to 37% today, they are shutting down their last coal turbine plants that have been running for over a 100 years in April, Nigeria is still struggling with 4000 megawatts in the same last ten years.

May be for now, but in a matter of time disruptive technology might crush it. Think about the mobile phone of today, the ATMs, etc. It was thought these will not sail through in Africa but it did.
