I use solar, can't stand the noise from generator

I've been wanting to know how powerful this solar is. Could you please tell what appliances are powered by your solar and for how long?
Can it be installed in rented house sha

I don't use generators in any of my houses but I have constant power supply.


Luckily for me my house in the town is near a telecom mast,

And the one in the village is next to a bank.
All I did, was to get a good electrician and asked him to explain the phrase 'tapping current'

SMART!

If you need to buy Generator, please buy only Thermocool. Been using it for almost two years now, did servicing just once in 2 years. Still working perfectly... smiley

That is the challenge of solar power for an ordinary Nigerian,

How many landlords will accept the installation of solar panels on their rooftops? Or in their compounds?

but still noisy and pollutes the atmosphere. Switch to civilization where we use solar and inverter. you will discover a new peace of mind
Gen is more reliable than all the solar I've seen.

If that can be done without a cable, then I need to see that electrician. I practically share same wall with mtn mast.

when u want to buy, locate the Coil side, use a small knife to scratch one of the coil inside, if it pills, its Aluminium coil. Run
better still go with a good Generator engineer

I remember doing this stuff in a generator part store, all of them had the copper coating out when scratched. Made me feel 99%of all these China generators are all aluminum.

Soq,

Seriously speaking, how many sellers will allow a buyer come in with a knife to start scratching the coils of all the generators in the shop in order to verify its originality

Everything depends on you what did you say sort of Generator you get, in me opinion. I would move suddenly and quickly for a convenient gas gen or a diesel Gen.
