ummm, Biodiesel? You mean the same Biodiesel that costs even more to create? Anywho, best we stick to the solar panel topic please. Some dude asked how much a panel costs but no one answered. Does anyone have an actual price for panels?


KoboJunkie

Hey guys i actually heard that there is this stuff that's stores solar energy and you can use it for electricty i would love to know about it and how much would the stuff cost.

I would think with all these people in here who claim to have used solar panels at one time or another, we would at least be able to get a price on how much a solar panel costs.



Kobojunkie

for a standard 4.5amps (peak current) at 17volts which should be suitable to charge a 12volts rechargeable battery, it goes for #80,000.

h[left][/left]i yes its good to have an alternative source of power
but wait first there are different type of people here some who want to sell some want to buy and some want to know
while some know . the victim here is the buyer no matter what to a mother monkey her kid is "bella"
to tell you first solar energy is not an alternative power in the twenty first century my be 23rd century
the solar panels on the satellite is bigger than the physical area yet its mission beyond the orbit is not solar powered!
japan is most advanced in technology yet the solar powered car engine is a little bigger than "maruwa" but also needs to be plunged into nepa at night
tell any one who is providing power from solar to u to to justify your investment in his business by not connecting any cable to nepa
don't u see hat all thy succeed in telling u is boil water on lamps and watch tv leisure and pleasure for 250k at 120watts
common an inverter will justify your investment in Lagos were u need returns on your money not in guinea were the are struggling for amenities amids hash
weather please solar solutions are for critical services where every other is available i can tell u that an inverter system worth 250k will serve a system of 120watts continuously for 3.3 days without charge while the solar system can not provide power beyond 12hrs they will tell u that while charging don't use !!!! pls the solar solution has a function note if the tell u its an alternative tell the then don't plug to nepa or generator for investment justification
don't be riped off i will not mind to give a free brief for what u want if u need more on all i have said signify by a post --makunmi [/color]

What about biodiesel production? I'm sure we can find a lot of dung in Nigeria to turn into fuel. Let's try that.

Seun that would work for the rural areas, and then you have to ensure that all processes for continous production are in place. With people like OBJ alive, I dont see how that can work.

Forget about biodiesel in Naija.

People never chop finish na him you dey talk of biodiesel. A liter of vegetable oil (which on the average will give you half a litre of biodiesel) cost almost 2 times the current price if diesel. So how far

My car runs on diesel and I tot I could have a ball if I get spent cooking oil from the eatries in Lagos. I made some research and found that if I got the oil for free, the cost of production will be almost the same as buying from the Fuel station. But my research also told me that Biodiesel is better for my car so I decided to try and start making it. I went from one earery to the other. No one had spent oil to give. I finally discovered (from one of the staff of a major outlet chain) that all the spent oil (from frying chips and chicken and stuff, is shared amongst the staff!!! And the staff are so happy to use this oil in their houses to prepare their food!!!! I could not beleive it but this was the reason why there was no waste oil. So abegi forget biodiesel and lets talk solar.

I have a 1.4kVA inverter running on 24volts comming from my 800AH battery bank. Oya all you solar gurus, tell me how I can reduce my recharge time. And someone also mentiond that you cannot recharge and run at the same time. Is this true

I have 120watt solar panel for sale , if interested you can call me on 08035308511 or send me mail on justyinka23@yahoo.com

brytesolar.com can install solar panels and solar water systems. visit their website for inverters, solar panels, charge controllers, battery chargers, converters. or email them at admin@brytesolar.com

but it is expensive

Please do not take what i am about to say wrongly, A long time ago,I heard a story that people complained in Nigeria to the then Minister of Transport that plane ticket price was too expensive. In return the Minister replied by saying flying was not meant for poor people. I do not know how true the story is, but I can say one thing,even in countries where electricity is cheap, some people cannot still afford to pay there bills. I understand that it is expensive. An average Nigerian cannot afford 550K. But, in my opinion, we are talking about not paying for electricity for the next 25 years. If you can afford a generator and pay fuel for it on a weekly basis, you certainly can afford to pay 550K for a solar panel system. One of the main difficult i have found out with solar business in Nigeria is that people's lives have been designed to get used to not having electricity, people do not know what it feels like not having to think about if electricity is available or not. I understand fully that the price is alot, but you pay for what you get, nothing is cheap in this world. The systems are for complete off grid individuals that want constant electricity 24hours a day electricity with no noise and a peace of mind(which is rare). There is no need to brand the packages as too expensive, rather say I cannot afford it and think of ways of making it affordable for yourself(like getting a loan) instead of saying the packages are to expensive.
