I use Victron 10kva inverter with thirty 400watt panels and 10 Pylontech US2000 48 V batteries. The thing cost an arm and a leg but at least lessens my mains usage significantly

Yes o, my brother. That Victron is a killer system.
Thank you for the information.

He is getting the woods direct from the bush and he promised that its quality...told me the woods in the market are not strong woods, they will be attacked by termites (even after treatment) and will wear out with time.

I made the payment immediately I was given the price list, paid him full amount he told me last week only to get a call that he went to the Bush this morning and the price has increased... Is it my fault that he didn't pay immediately I sent the money to him?

That was why I was delaying cos I wanted to gather funds for wood work and roofing.. Only to find out now that I am spending more than half of my budget for wood work.
The wood in the market were all gotten from the bush.
I guess he gave u a very low quotation compared to the market price too. Let's hope u have not been conned.
Ask him to return the money.

According to my research, I heard its better to buy a PSW inverter and a separate charge controller (mostly 60A).

Try to research into difference BTW Pure Sine wave and modified Sine wave inverter.

I'll be doing a DIY installation too.. sometime in June/ July but I've been researching ahead..

My personal experience. (this was years ago)

Every pure sine wave inverter I tried was very expensive and very sensitive.

They all had issues and failed within a month of purchase. Then I had to chase different 'experts'

Eventually I bought a modified sine wave mercury inverter. 2.4kva.at the time it was 20k,and it is still not spoilt.

The only issue I experienced was that my fans would have a weird hum.

Modified sine wave if I recall has issues mainly with motors. This is my own experience thought

Ironically I told a friend to buy a modified sine wave inverter , he walked into the showroom and allowed himself to be convinced to buy a pure sine wave Mercury ups which promptly failed in a week.

That's because your 10kvA inverter is actually 8.5kva when you consider power factor..

You can't have more than 8.5kW even if your panels are sized for 20Kva since your inverter is 10kva.

I stand corrected.

That is not true. The inverter size has nothing to do with your charging capacity. Charging happens upstream of the inverter. The inverter just converts the stored electricity in the batteries to AC that goes into your house. What is affecting the solar output are things like panel angle, in-built losses from panel through cables to charge controller, cloud cover, shade if any exists.

This Sounds like a 4 million naira set up. For me personally, I don't think I'll run up to 7kva total energy use at any point in time..

Not even close. Check out the prices of each item and you will find out. One of those batteries is over 600k.

Is Brabus/Nexthome the luckiest scammer on Nairaland Building Section?

I have observed the building/ property section from a distance and not made many comments. And the activities of Brabus /Nexthome have given me cause to worry. I think he is both the most skillfull marketer and disreputable builder on this forum at the same time.

My observations

1.He is not a professional builder.

Honestly, this is the weakest argument against Brabus. You don't have to be 'a professional', but you can be professional.
Brabus is not a building professional,but pretends to be one. He may be knowledgeable about how to put up a building (this does not preclude him from the industry but at least be professional to clients )

2.Poor/shoddy job quality,allegations of fraud and theft

Incorrect quantity or materials supplied,
Columns not aligning,cement bags in concrete mix, missing iron rods from site,using regular wood when marine was paid for ,counterfeit drawings, sub-contractors and suppliers not paid.... what the.... (na only you?)

3.All is good until money starts changing hands.
Excellent client relationship until money issues are concerned. Then the name calling and advice giving from a distance starts. I am yet to see a full spectrum of jobs done from start to finish for Nairalanders without complaint (i stand to be corrected on this. Pls really!)


4.Pasting photos like educational materials , meanwhile marketing himself(which is not bad)

Remember the ile-oluji projects. Pasting photos of work not done by him until the client came out screaming!

5.Photo Essays.
Each project is a photo opportunity to draw in the next client ,while not fulfilling full obligations.

6. Brabus is NEVER wrong
No matter what, never accept responsibility for actions on your project site. This is Brabus/nexthome's way. It is always the client that did something wrong. Calling clients who paid you money names, after they air greviances

7.Master of deflection
Changing topic in the middle of a thread, once serious allegations are made with new pictures or glossy future project and real estate seminars. And aligning with established builders to cover up

8.Cracking jokes after serious allegations are made about work done . This is after people have cried out their hearts and serious grievances on this forum

Clients beware

P.S. I am a professional architect who has never and would never work or had any interaction with Brabus/ Nexthome.

Maverick efforts to alert people of his work reputation should not be shut down.
Anybody on this forum who is swayed by his advertising should also be aware of his reputation beforehand. Several of his clients were aware of his reputation and still went into business with him. We should stop this " don't spoil his livelihood" argument. If people allege and show evidence of shoddy jobs and fraud from their livelihood why should they not sound the alarm to others.

The beautiful thing is people will see all this information about Brabus/ Nexthome and enter the trap. Why? Is it because he is the luckiest scammer on Nairaland Building Section?
[b][/b][color=#990000][/color]

Same thing that was true over 6 years ago is still true today.

NOTHING has changed . A petty fraudster cannot change his stripes
