Nigeria shall be great. pls let's patronize this keke, let's stop underrating our own products!!!! |

Sola powered Keke! It's not a big deal. We make it look like it's an innovation! Wen good universities even reject this kind of project topics! Sir it's nothing! Try magnetically induce motors or something ! That's worth my FP |

Codes151:who can prove that it is really solar powered? we shud stop falling for cheap scams in this country. Look at the size of that keke. look at all the iron that was used to build it. Imagine the weight. Imagine the horsepower (at least 5hp) that will be required to move something with that weight. now compare it with the size of the solar panels mounted on the roof. do u think such panels can generate 5hp (about 6kw)? dont forget that we are even yet to see a solar panel rated above 500watts 2 Likes 1 Share |

obstead200:The sensitivity and efficiency of the solar panel is the main criteria here not size. Size though used to be a main determinant has been rendered redundant due to highly sensitive and efficient semi-conductor technology. Given the set of dignitaries clowning around there, i am sure they won't congregate there if it was a lie. 2 Likes |

MadCow1: NameChecker: The Solar panel is on top of the tricycle and instead of a fuel gauge, it has a Solar Charge indicator on the dashboard which indicates the charge-rate and consumption rate. The panel is connected to a controller in which is connected to a battery which powers the tricycle. When the battery is fully charged, the controller cuts off extra charge from the sun automatically and the power from the charged battery powers the tricycle at Night or at a low or non-sunny weather situation. When the battery uses about 65% of it's capacity, the solar controller trips on again and begins to charge the battery to refill the power. All these are completely automated. The battery can power the tricycle for as long as 16 operational hours without charge till it gets to low level. That means if there is no Sunlight for 16 hours (which is not possible) the tricycle can still be in motion operated if operated for a stretch of that 16 hours. 6 Likes |

Chitumu:Yes you are right. Its not suitable for southern part of the country where we have many months of rainy season. But it is ideal for the north. If they could put more effort and get necessary regulatory body's approval, I think they can go commercial.If India can produce it while not Nigeria. 1 Like |

CSTR2:@the bolded, u really dont know the length which this APC govt will go to in order to sustain a propaganda. talking about sensitivity, note that the wattage rating of solar panels is usually based on the highest level of sensitivity and efficiency in power generation which that panel possibly deliver. most panels rated at 300watts will give u about 70% of that wattage most of the time. |

saintclem7:"Maybe" you said? did u hear the normal sound ANY IC (or compression in the case of diesel and gas) engine is bound to make? am not saying this is not possible ooo. am just saying that the technology is not very stable yet. Biogas contains sulphur which is very corrosive. this makes it very unsuitable for use in regular IC engines. A regular IC engine will not last 6 months, running on biogas |

obstead200:We currently don't know the wattage rating of those panels to make conclusive inferences. It could be a specially designed ones for cars. Afterall we already have solar-powered cars, wind-mills, referigerators e.t.c. And all those requires enormous amount of energy. |

salabscholar01: Let me see if I understand you.. Solar Panel Tracking system would be a tracker that would automatically turn the Solar Panels in the direction of the sun abi? Is that correct? Let me elaborate my initial question.. When I see Solar Panels being installed, they are not flat but inclined at an angle and at a coordinate (Angel, degree) to the Sun's Rise, Set and fall path.. They say its done so to harness the maximum energy from the Sun. Now this Keke's solar panels are lying flat on the roof. The Keke would be mobile so may most times be out of direct range of the Sun in such a way that the energy it would be getting from the Sun wouldn't be optimal. My Question is how did the inventors compensate/account for this.. Thanks. |

CSTR2:well, I rest my case. believe what u wish. I will maintain my doubts. Just know that solar cars (for now) are designed to be extremely light weight:- (carries only one person most times). fridges on the other hand are very different. there are DC fridges that operate with less than 100watts |

Re: Nigerian Manufactures Solar Powered Tricycle (keke-napep) by CSTR2: 4:02pm On Sep 02, 2016 |
MadCow1:Very intelligent observation. I am assuming he compensated by creating solar panels at the strategic positions at the back and front connected together in parallel . If one loses optimal sunlight, the others immediately takes over without losing power to the engines. Also besides, energy can be stored anyway using highly sensitive capacitors. So it should also compensate for un-optimal sunlight. |

What % of Nigerian Content is in that product? That’s the big question. By Nigerian Content i mean Manpower, Material and Money. Manpower: Who are the ones that manufactured or fabricated all the components? Are all the component and assemblage done by Nigerians? If Not what % is done by Nigerian and what % is done by foreigners both in terms of manhours and spend. Material: How many of the components that make up this product are sourced locally (made in Nigeria) Money: If the product costs say N100.00, in actually fact what % of this money is domiciled in Nigeria? This should be our thinking, not when all the material are sourced abroad and joined in Nigeria we start celebrating. We must think outside the box. That’s how economy is grown and stabilized. In any case is good Kudos |
