Except it has 10 years warranty, then I would consider it cost effective.
At about $9k, Tesla battery is pricey for an average solar set up in Nigeria homes.

If he spends #800k every 2 years, he will have to spend that amount at 10 different times to get to #8M ($9k). So that would be in 20 years.

how much is current price of cement

If you get anyone to deliver at N4500 per bag, please don’t hesitate to share his/her contact.

T for thanks

solar na nonsense, they are being hyped by those installers. Whats the use of something that can’t carry ac or fridge

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

Potential Fraudster alert!!

From a recent observation..

Please I will advice everyone to 'hold your pockets tight'!...not everyone that posts advices, solutions, recommendations or pictures on this thread or forum are what they claim to be. MOST OF THEM ARE NOT ENGINEERS NEITHER ARE THEY BUILDERS OR BUILDING CONSULTANTS..they have no idea in relation to building and construction..please I will advice:

(1) Before you contact anyone on this thread or forum please be 101% sure you have done your own private investigation. You may be dealing with a yahoo Yahoo student behind a keyboard or a resident serial fraudster.

(2) Don't contact Mr A because Mr B contacted him and they had a 'perfect' dealing. There is something called 'organized crime', they may be playing to a script so do your own investigation.

(3) Some recently created accounts belong to already known 'famous' fraudsters. We made them popular, so they disguise in return to lure unsuspecting victims.

Be wise. Thank you.

Good morning Nairaland!

I have always been curious how pop cement and the fiber alone can hold the ceiling well. There's this fear that guypsum could dry out later and lose strength.
Not to just raise observation but to try to reason possible solution, I think the bond strength and flexibility would improve with addition of acrylic into the mix.
If there's no easy access to acrylic, vinko, top and all the other PVA binder may be used.
I've used this binders with regular cement and gypsum based cement and know for a fact they improve their strength and water resistance.
The more technically inclined may mix it with the gypsum and fillers and do cube crush test in comparison with the regular mix after a week drying.
Regular artisans may mix both on a ceiling with hook and try placing varying bricks tied together to see which withstands more load.
I think a video demonstration of this would convince the clients if successful of difference in total cost.

Is there any other part of the world apart from Africa where ceilings are held by ropes aka filas/fiber?

This is one thing that bothers me about POP and polysterene ceilings?

I have actually seen a video of a guy overseas using polystyrene ceilings but he used screws and washers to bind it to the ceiling woodwork/frame.

Can those fibers withstand vibration if this part of the world was earthquake prone?

Just wondering out aloud.

Good day my fellow Nairalander, to all the engineers can someone explain to me the engineering behind this cantilever

A neighbor spent over 2M on solar installation around 2 years ago, all the batteries are down and they've been required to cough out around 800k for a new set of batteries.

This is my reservation with Solar.

My kids and I had a chat on Tesla powerwall yesterday. They told me “Dad! Take guesswork out of your decision making process. Buy yourself peace of mind by owning a property in an area where there’s uninterrupted power supply.”

They said this when they visit me in one of my project site where there’s five nines guaranteed electricity uptime.

Every marketer will do anything to sell you their solution but right now I’d rather pay to have 99.999% electricity than to keep carrying out experimentation.

My kids are saying “Dad! Say Goodbye to Guesswork and Say Hello to Certainty!”


============

I know someone here that invested heavily on alternative energy. To my utmost dismay, he could barely get up to 3 hours from the millions of Naira investment.

I know someone will say he bought fake solution. That’s why I’m going with my kids advice 😂😂😂

Buy certainty!

michlins:
This is what a friend did. What you're looking at is almost 7ml and according to him, he's totally off the grid. He has at least four (4) air conditioners.

All you need is the right information but solar works and works well

acorntree:


The installer might have bought fake batteries for the setup. The most unreliable part of any solar setup is the battery. Once you don't get high quality deep cycle lead acid battery, just forget it, you won't enjoy the solar . That'xs why people are now going for lithium batteries,those once are more reliable

Abudu2000:
baba calm down this all these lies i was just at one shop at VI with my wife to get her a phone and i asked the lady why the ac is off and she said the solar cant power it. There were 6battries on the floor and i was wondering if 6 batteries can power an ordinary ac then what was it built for ? Charging phones only? Spending millions to charge just a phone?

michlins:
ok. If it makes you happy, believe it.
