I was told that my battery of 5.5kwh*2 would last only 6 hours at full load when both sun and light are not available. If that's true, which is yet to be established, it means 15kwh should last roughly 9hours which wouldn't be enough to get me off grid from 9am to 9pm

Is your business constantly busy from morning till night?

jFrankNorfleet:
I open 9am everyday except Thursdays. We usually close around 11PM to 12AM although it's very rare for me to close without power supply as power usually comes between 7-9pm then stays till the next day around 6am

What do you suggest I do? Add more panel or more batteries?

I do plan to change the LCDs to Led but for budget reasons it would only be done one by one

Also what about the safety devices? Wiring? Are they okay or should I change them?

If you have that kind of grid power why do you need solar panels? I would take the 1m you are spending on panels, pv breakers and wiring and increase your battery capacity to 15-20kwh and charge your battery from the grid overnight when your biz is closed.

The Chinua Achebe airport does roughly 300 passengers per day or roughly N1m in revenue per day. The yearly revenue of less than 400m yearly means that it is effectively subsidized by the ANSG because that is not going to be enough to run power, pay salaries and upkeep the tremendous capital costs of maintenance.

Building a second airport is foolishness or a looting opportunity. Some say Soludo is building it for a proposed new South East state promoting Ekwulobia as the capital but its grand foolishness.

If he wants to leave a fundamental legacy project there are far more impactful things he can do such as many that you suggest. Indeed, if transport is his concern its about time the state organizes transport with modern buses and phases out keke anx shuttle buses.

OreMI22:
I came across claims on social media that Governor Soludo is planning to build another airport in Anambra State. Can anyone with credible information confirm whether this is true or simply misinformation?

If there are indeed plans for another airport, I believe the proposal deserves careful public scrutiny.

Building an airport is far more than constructing a runway. Aviation infrastructure must meet stringent safety and regulatory standards, while attracting airline operators depends on commercial viability, passenger demand, and supporting infrastructure. Governments cannot compel private airlines to operate routes that are not economically sustainable.

Anambra already has the Chinua Achebe International Airport at Umueri, while Asaba International Airport is roughly one to two hours away by road for many parts of the state. Rather than building another airport in such close proximity, it may be more prudent to continue developing the existing airport into a fully competitive passenger and cargo hub with modern cargo terminals, maintenance facilities, logistics infrastructure, and better transport connections.

Major Nigerian commercial centres illustrate this approach. Lagos, Kano, Abuja, and Port Harcourt each rely primarily on one major international airport that has received continuous investment over the years, rather than building multiple airports within short driving distances of one another.

If the Anambra State Government has substantial resources available for infrastructure, there are arguably many higher-priority projects that could deliver broader economic benefits.

For example, Lagos has invested heavily in urban mass transit through the Lagos Rail Mass Transit system, including the Blue Line and Red Line, to reduce congestion and improve mobility. Addis Ababa transformed urban transportation by building the Addis Ababa Light Rail—the first modern light rail system in sub-Saharan Africa—which now serves hundreds of thousands of commuters. Abuja has also developed the Abuja Rail Mass Transit, connecting the city centre with the airport corridor and laying the foundation for future expansion. These examples demonstrate how strategic rail investments can stimulate economic growth, reduce traffic congestion, and improve the quality of urban life.

Anambra could similarly explore developing an urban rail or light rail network linking Awka, Onitsha, Nnewi, and neighbouring commercial centres. Such a system could significantly reduce road congestion while supporting commerce and industrial development.

Beyond rail transport, several other infrastructure priorities could have a transformative impact on the state's economy:

Dualize major highways and construct additional flyovers to eliminate traffic bottlenecks.
Develop independent power plants that utilize the state's natural gas resources to improve electricity supply for industries and households.
Encourage investment in modular refineries and downstream petroleum industries where commercially and environmentally viable.
Redevelop commercial districts by constructing modern shopping centres with adequate parking, sanitation, fire safety systems, and recreational facilities, reducing pressure on aging markets such as Onitsha Main Market.
Collaborate with neighbouring states and the Federal Government to improve rail connectivity between Onitsha, Enugu, and the Onne Port corridor, making it easier for imported goods to reach commercial markets.
Build modern intercity bus terminals in Awka, Onitsha, and Nnewi similar to those recently developed in cities such as Umuahia and Enugu.
Invest in world-class universities, teaching hospitals, research centres, and specialist medical facilities that can attract professionals and reduce medical tourism.
Upgrade Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University with modern laboratories, lecture halls, student accommodation, and research infrastructure.
Encourage private investment in internationally rated hotels, convention centres, and tourism infrastructure to support business travel and conferences.

Anambra remains one of Nigeria's most commercially vibrant states, but significant investments are still needed in transportation, healthcare, education, energy, urban planning, and industrial infrastructure.

For these reasons, if another airport is indeed being proposed, I believe the government should clearly explain the economic justification, projected passenger demand, financing model, expected return on investment, and how the project compares with other pressing infrastructure priorities. Transparent public engagement would help citizens understand why another airport should take precedence over projects that many may consider more urgent.

Again as an advocate of Investment, kudos to PCN for selecting Anambra. The state government needs to organize itself for this conference by ensuring that logistics is seamless to and from the ICC as well as parking. Hosting up to 5,000 attendees will require roughly 100 hotels with 50 room capacity and will require organized parking procedures and transport scheduling.

I suggest:

1) Divide that unkempt area on the left side they call parking lot into two. Grass the far side and build a parking lot on the one closest to the building.

2) Widen the road in front of the ICC to three lanes so as not to disrupt traffic along old road with one lane dedicated solely for entry/exit to the ICC.

3) Contract at least 20 long 50 seater buses for the period of the conference that will run three times a day to ferry attendees to/from the Conference Center at a fixed price. This will make it easier for attendees that go between the ICC and their hotels without depending on the chaotic nature of transport in Awka. Why three times? Because some attendees may stay only for the morning or the afternoon. Times I suggest are: - 8:00am -9am, 12pm-1pm and 5pm-6pm. Design key routes to reach largest number of hotels.

4) Ensure that conveniences within the ICC are suitable for hosting such a large number of people and emergency procedures are put in place in case of health or fire safety needs.

Brand new all-in-one Must 3KVA Power Station with 3KWH battery and option to recharge with 1,800W panels. Only 900k.

LeSaint:
Hello guys, please help me make a choice between Cola 3600 @ 800k, and Haisic 1.5kW 4kWh @ 830k. This system is for my folks' in the villa. A few lights, 42" led tv, 2-door old fridge, and two fans. The fridge is the only priority load. Diversity will apply. Budget is tight.
Already, 4 nos 340W panels are down.

I'm wondering also, are there 2 grades of Cola, as some insist on 850k and above for the same Cola 3600?

Instead get 3kwh must solar generator that will carry fridge, fans, tv lights. 900k which I have. DM me.

WhiteAngels001:
First of all, I appreciate your contributions on this platform honestly, I'm very confident that with people like you actively educating poorly informed ignoramuses like us on this subject matter of solar energy, we are bound to make a better buying decision.

Secondly, just like you rightly pointed, I don't have 100 phones to charge daily, however, I intend to set up a phone charging set up at very busy and central point where people come to charge for a fee, so I estimate that I might likely get I'll to 100 people coming to charge, but that may not necessarily be realistic, however, it's better to be over prepared than otherwise hence my statement.

Lastly, I have a couple of vendors trying so hard to sell me the cola solar 2000 as the best solution for carrying a 200l deep freezer and a phone/power bank charging station but having read many of the takes here, I felt very indifferent about the suggestion hence my question.

I apologize for asking the same questions that have probably been treated here when I wasn't active here, I just don't want to make any bad buying decisions. Kindly pardon my excesses.

This is what you need. 3kw inverter abx 3kwh battery storage. Msg me.

wizzyvibes:
I fit beat person if I see this road one more time. The love for mediocrity dey always off me. Mstchewww

I will be more impressed if they setup a modern transport system and get rid of keke in major cities. Until then snap same road 100 times.

sofdoc1:
Good evening guys.
Is there any good deal on a used transformer based pure sine wave inverter or an hybrid inverter of less than 1.5kva, 12v?
Hit me up with your offers!

I have Sukam Falcon. 150k

MrScamp:
Good evening everyone.

I’m planning to set up a solar system for my home. I’ve done an energy audit, and based on my load, my working budget is ₦2M.

This is the quote I received from an installer:
Sako 24V 4.2kVA inverter – ₦350,000
7.2kWh CDO battery – ₦850,000
6 units of 615W solar panels – ₦810,000
Protection box – ₦85,000
Total: ₦2,095,000


I’m familiar with Sako inverters, but I’m not sure how good CDO batteries are and whether this price is reasonable.

Can anyone tell me if this is a fair deal or if I can get a better price? I’d really appreciate honest feedback before I make a decision.

Its a fair deal but it will cost you more than that. Wiring? Mc4 connecters, Rack?

Also for inverter and battery always go with manufacturers that provide support. Sako provides support but what about CDO?

Obnoxious2001:
Who has fairly used 60A mppt charge controller for sell.

I would prefer powmr but let me know what is available and your price.

Thank you

I have felicity 80a charge controller. DM me.

Seun:
YWhat UI feature are you looking forward to?

The search is too primitive, needs advanced filtering. Also people rely on nairaland for news. The landing page should show the most active threads with pics if possible. Redo it like the old yahoo portal of the 00s.

Otherwise you don try to use same UI for over two decades.

Seun you need to vibe code an improvement of nairaland. Its too basic and needs to be far better UI wise.

The whole South East is migrating to first world cities, I predict that of we avoid any unnecessary, needless, useless civil war , South East will be a first world region in 5 to 10 years time.

First world is not by talk. South East has to make the necessary investments in infrastructure and its not just roads but sewage, water, drainage, pavements, public bus systems. European cities have all these things and they are over 500 years old. Most SE cities are less than 60 years old but suffer from poor infrastructure and plain bad planning marked by chaotic buses and tricycles, dirty open gutters, non existent water supply and sewage, haphazard markets.

dollarnaira:
Running a pump for 3hrs is no joke.
That's a huge amount of energy. That is roughly 3000w surge and 2000w continuous. There is huge difference between theory and practical. Why not replace the pump if the factor is less? Spend wisely.

1.5hp is 1,200W not 2,000W. Surge is 2-3x or 2.4-3.6KW. So your inverter must be able to handle at least 4KW just for the pump to start. Your solar production at peak sun must be at least 1.5KWh or your battery must have at least 4KWh available if you are running it for 3 hours.

Unless you have a very deep borehole or a very high tank stand, like recommended best to go for a 1HP submersible pump if you want to run it with the 3.5kw inverter you mentioned. A 1 hp pump at most needs 2.2KW starting power and 745W running power.

wizzyvibes:
Sorry. The 1.7 million per sqm. Are you certain its for rent or for sale, because that price is just ridiculous

I saw that online and lo and behold it has been removed.

From ANSIPPA link I understand they have 86 shops ranging from 19sqm to 168 sqm and have so far rented out to Market Square, Kilimanjaro, Pizza Jungle, Medplus, Miniso, Pointek, Nett Pharmacy and Living Plus.

https://ansippang.substack.com/p/awkas-new-heartbeat-ikenga-mall-and

It has provision for 4 cinemas with 661 sqm sitting 400 people.

Considering that the developer Sundry Foodd spent 4.5 billion on the project (which was half built by the Obi administration) with returns spread over 25 years, it means they got it for a song. 180m in debt per year for roughly 7,000 sqm of lettable space works to 26,000 per sqm per annum and less considering Sundry Foods owns Market Square and Kilimanjaro which take up around 25% of total feasible area.

I expect that like Onitsha Mall they will adjust their rental rates away from typical mall rents which in Lagos is dollar linked at $800 - 1,000 per sqm per annum or N1-1.5m to realities that Awka is a much smaller economy and price at 150,000 - 200,000 per sqm per annum depending on the size of the store. A large branded retailer with a 100 sqm shop can bear N15m a year while a small pharmacy would be willing to pay N5m for a 25 sqm space. That's the only way they fill up the 80 shops remaining and draw in crowds of shoppers.

Eboofa:
The final look of the Ikenga mall is quite impressive but I have my fears about its long term profitabilty and viabilty for potential tenants.......! Indoor malls have seen their best days even in consumer mad united states.........nearly 75% of the indoor malls in america in 1985 have failed or gone bankrupt.......the ones that have not been demolished have been turned into mixed use developments ....residential,hotel,services .....etc!

Strip mall development is cheaper to run and gives each retail tenant a shop facing the main road instead of all shops being cooped up in an indoor arena that costs an arm and a leg to illuminate and cool!

The nnewi mall should be redesigned as much as possible to be open air ...with shops facing the mainroad or at least with public facing entrance doors...just my suggestion!

kudos sha!

Only 25% of malls built in the US have gone extinct and thats because of demographics (Americans are getting older) and thje rise of online shopping. Yet there are still over 800 malls in the USA.

For Nigeria modern shopping malls are still virgin territory if developers can get their costs down and their format right. Replicating the design of US-style malls in Nigeria is why costs are extremely high. Malls rent at N1m plus per sqm in Nigeria. Ikenga Mall is N1.7m per sqm which means that for a 25 sqm shop the rent would be N42.5m per annum. What kind of sales would need to be made to justify that kind of rent? Which sane retailer would drop that amount when they can build a whole store for that amount?

Modern shopping malls in Nigeria need to be a lot more cost competitive and better designed to cut down on the costs of air conditioning and steel work. The best designed mall I have seen in Nigeria is the Enugu Mall by the Artee Group (India) which epitomizes the strip concept with a supermarket as an anchor allowing for natural cooling and light. This is a better design for tropical setting than shops built indoors without windows or natural light.

The southeast's largest mall, Ikenga Mall, opens for business in the city of Awka.

Lets be honest. Its not the South-Easts largest mall.

Erosion: Anambra to go after houses without proper drainage
Gully erosion threatens 350 buildings, stadium, cuts federal road in Anambra
By Vincent Ujumadu

Worried by the rising menace of gully erosion, the Anambra State Government has threatened to enforce regulations requiring residents to provide proper drainage for storm water from their homes.

The State Executive Council (ANSEC), which announced the proposed enforcement, lamented that erosion remains an existential challenge in Anambra, blaming the situation on careless actions by some communities and lapses by regulatory bodies in enforcing environmental laws.

Briefing journalists after the weekly executive council meeting, the Commissioner for Information, Dr. Law Mefor, said it had been observed that some residents channel storm water from their homes directly onto roads, where it accumulates and worsens the erosion crisis across the state.

“ANSEC has resolved to step up enforcement to compel residents to properly channel and manage storm water from their houses. Communities are also expected to comply with specific guidelines, including the construction of erosion barriers and excavating sand only in approved locations,” Mefor said.

The commissioner also disclosed that the government would set up a committee to recover government lands across the state. According to him, the decision followed reports of widespread encroachment, with individuals illegally building on government-owned land.

Meanwhile, ANSEC approved the release of funds for several projects across the state.

Details showed that ₦95.2 million was approved for the provision of water to the newly constructed Ekwulobia flyover bridge fountain and ornamental garden, while ₦172 million was released for landscaping the car park of the new Trauma Centre at Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University Teaching Hospital (COOUTH), Amaku, Awka.

Other approvals include ₦93.4 million for the installation of a three-way traffic light with pedestrian signals at the Ifite-Amenyi intersection in Awka metropolis; ₦50.4 million for the supply and installation of two 10kVA inverters with 15kW lithium batteries at the Anambra State Civil Service Commission building, Awka; and ₦119.1 million for the supply and installation of transformer substations in Nnewi and Umueze-Anam communities.

Some questions:

1) How does an ornamental fountain cost N95.2 million?

https://jeccl.com/cost-water-fountain-installation-nigeria/

2) How does a three-way traffic light with signals cost N93.4 million?

3) How does a 10Kva inverter (max 1.6m x 2 = 3.2m) and 15kwh battery (max 2.8m x 2 = 5.6m) for total of N8.8m cost N50m?

4) How does two transformer substations (avg cost of a 500kva transformer = N18m x 2 = 36m) cost N119m?

The amount of contract inflation (on average 400%) means that the waste of government monies is incredibly high. It means that only 25% of the government expenditure goes to cost of actual projects. The rest enriches contractors.

This is why I will always question intent and do not salivate over pictures of projects. The Anambra state budget should be large enough to make significant difference in peoples lives not window-dressing with a few roads and buildins here and there.

Gshems:
this your calculation is flawed

Its not. Have been doing this since 2017.

billyfranc:
Please I need your assistance and suggestions. Due to light situation in my area, Enugu State, I'm thinking of solar as backup. what capacity and brand 'of inverter, battery, and solar panel will be required for 2 TVs (55inch & 32 inch), 2 decoders, 5 ceiling fans, 2 rechargeable fans, 4 laptops, 15 bulbs (5 watts), 1hp inverter AC, 8.5kg washing machine, pumping machine and 259L freezer. I intend to only to use the solar system as backup to NEPA. The heavy load appliances such as washing machine, AC, pumping machine & freezer will run only during the day (10am - 4pm).
Also, a rough estimate on the cost implications will be appreciated.

You should calculate it as follows:

Energy Audit:
- 55 inch TV : 120W
- 32 inch TV : 80W
- 2 Decoders : 60W
- 5 Ceiling Fans : 300 - 375W
- 2 Rechargeable Fans - 100W
- 4 Laptops - 400W
- 1 HP inverter AC : 500W
- 15 Bulbs : 75W
- Freezer : 200W
- Pumping Machine : ?
- 8.5kg Washing Machine : 1.5Kwh

From this clearly you need at least a 5kwh inverter and 6kwh to handle thr surge of your washing machine.

Second is average nighttime load.

If you run all ceiling fans for 12 hours that's already 3KWH. If you put on lights for at least 5 hours that's 325W. If you watch TV for at least 6 hours that's 1.5kwh. So you need a 5KWH battery minimum.

Then to run your daily load of at least 8kwh and charge your battery of 5kwh you need at least 4.5KW of Solar panels.

Summary:
- 5Kwh inverter : N 550K
- 550W panels x 8 : N1m
- 5Kwh LFP battery : N1m
- Wiring & accessories: N 200K
- Transport: 100k
- Installation : N 150k

Total: N 3m

its incredible what ethiopia has done in its capital over the past 2 years! Soludo is eminently capable of carrying out the same town planning revolution in Anambra but he is hampered by a relatively weak cabinet and paucity of funds! I wonder if it is possible for him to learn a thing or 2 from the enugu governor in area of revenue generation........I suspect that Enugu state may have employed the services of lagos state revenue officials............the truth is that Lagos has by far, the best revenue generation formular in the country! Let us learn from others when we are lacking ..........no harm in that

Learning from others is key not praise singing. I am very very disappointed in Igbo governors. We are a people that travel. We are well educated. We need to do more.

Modernity is not about building haphazardly but planning systems with maximum impact.

Soludo is doing the right thing by dualizing roads but is that enough? What about pavements, parking, traffic lights, drainage, public transport?

He has not done enough with his budget and as for capacity, he selected his own cabinet. If they are not performing it starts with him. Contrast Alex Ottis commissioners with Anambras and it should be obvious.

He has three more years and he should focus on what's achievable not grand visions that go nowhere. This is what I want from him:

1) Obiano transitioned Anambra from the madness of Okada in cities. He should likewise phase out tricycles and those 6 seater shuttles from cities and implement 10 seater public transport vehicles using either CNG or EV. Make transport organized and affordable with routes, stops and get someone with a planning brain to execute it.

2) Build more youth friendly things. Upgrade the Awka and Onitsha libraries and transform into activity hubs with free wifi, programs for reshaping young minds, exchanging ideas and learning crafts. Build free basketball, tennis, volleyball, football courts in public schools and encourage sports to reduce crime, drugs among youth.

3) Relocate large markets out of the center of cities. Eke Awka, Ochanja as classic case in points. Any market with more than 100 stalls must meet code requirements like parking, water, waste management and security.

4) Restructure governance by putting Communities at the apex of governance. Towns should be responsible for local roads, markets, waste management, sanitation, and security with support from the state government.

5) Attract power projects to the state. Anambra needs at least 500MW of power. There are a variety of options for obtaining this power. Renewable energy such as solar farms is the obvious one. Another is building a HVDC transmission line from power plants in nearby states like Imo.

NwekereNdokl:
Mktinsight your opinion is not needed here. All do is to constantly discredit any project in Anambra simply because of your envy. Ikenga mall is the biggest and most beautiful in Igboland and that’s what matters to us here. That you are bringing Addis into comparison means that no mall even in Abuja or Lagos comes close. Keep going, you will soon bring New York mall because you haven’t seen the last yet. We shall keep celebrating because we got the best.

Envy of what? Envy of mediocrity? Soludo said he would turn Anambra to Dubai and Taiwan. I am showcasing Addis Ababa so you can see serious people attempting to replicate Dubai in Africa not hot air of Nigerian politicians.

Many of the basics are achievable. Nothing stops Soludo from introducing EV buses like Enugu and Lagos states on key arteries and getting rid of Keke. Nothing stops them from learning from Ethiopia who funded the 6,000 MW Grand Renaissance Dam from government bonds to build at least 500MW of power in the state. Nothing stops them from building proper large Bus Terminals and Truck Terminals to get rid of roadside bus and truck loading.

While we are celebrating mini airport lounges and shopping malls built on 8 plots of land, here is what intentional leaders are doing in Addis Ababa:

- City Masterplan
- Power projects
- Electric buses and trains
- Green spaces
- Business Districts
- Industries

Mktinsight you are not from Anambra. Leave Anambra and go to your state. Coming here to claim Anambra shall never make you one. We know who you are, changing moniker cannot change who you are.

Everyone that criticizes government is not from Anambra eh?. You are a clown. You should be playing with little children not arguing with adults.

Note that what RCC is building or has built from Umunya - Enugu has the following:

1) Crash barriers
2) Drainage
3) Soil stabilization
4) Load-bearing sub-base
5) Emergency Lane

Contrast this with the rubbish IDC built for the state between Amawbia and Amansea under Obiano at great cost.

You start wondering about the capacity of Anambra's Ministry of Works. There are standard processes for road projects. Environmental Assessment, Design, tendering, procurement, delivery. They skip critical details and jump to procurement.

Its not a wonder the state is littered with badly planned projects.

The Obi built expressway from headbridge to Umunya with no crash barrier, no emergency lane in his quest to "save money". Or the sub-standard footbridge with IDC at Unizik Temp Site Junction with one of its legs sitting on the expressway. Or Obiano's three poorly designed ramps with IDC (which he called flyover) with convoluted underpass creating more mess than needed instead of proper flyovers in the right places. Or the ICC on a wetland with billions spent sandfilling and elevating the building.

If you are going to spend billions constructing, get it right the first time by hiring experts, not backyard so-called engineers.

My goodness! You people are so obsessed with Anambra its becoming sickening. All these lamentation is going on because Anambra is positioning itself to become the most developed state in the whole country in another 10 years when Ike Obosi would have become the governor. Your jealousy is nauseating. Leave us alone and commit this energy to your state who has been developing Owerri since it was created. I dont like Soludo but he is doing exceptionally well.

We are all Anambrarians my friend so stop the diversionary tactic. Soludo surrounds himself with what the British call dolts. They can fool you with concrete and paint but not me.

They are interlocking vast areas that could have been used for basketball courts, volleyball courts, and planting trees. But their sense no reach anywhere. Look at the football field whose artificial turf is worn thin for lack of maintenance and whose running track is cracking and falling apart. Its not even a standard 400m track bevause these brainless dolts couldn't achieve that simple track under Obiano.

Go and see what people with sense build with less money. This is the 36m rand ($2m) Klipspruit Sports Center in Soweto, South Africa.

Meanwhile our geniuses in Nigeria collected $1m from FIFA to build this pitch and God knows how much they paid GSS for this interlock parking.

Or go take a look at another Johannesburg Development Agency COMMUNITY project - the Jabulani Hub and Sports Complex built with SENSE for the youth including :

- A full-size artificial soccer pitch.
- An Olympic-sized swimming pool.
- Outdoor sports courts (e.g., basketball, netball).
- A gym facility.
- A kids' play area.
- A multipurpose hall.
- Study and youth cafe areas for various programs.
