hoover420: Hopefully anyone in Lagos can signify so we can make arrangements. I was hoping Haisic would send a technician down it seems those companies are less concerned about thatWould have loved to help BUT currently very very occupied BUT you know what. Since you're in Lagos, if you don't want to, or don't have anyOne to assiste you take it to where techNicians are, those local repair guys down the street popularly called RadioNic (rePairs Tv and the likes) should be able to help you. Also that should be much cheaper for you. Also kindly confirm you're sure it ain't SETTINGs related. Also what happened to your installer ? |

queenfav:If you really want the best low price, you should compare quotations from at least 2 or 3 different sources within same enviroment. Also ensure to verify what was purchased e.g quoting 5 items but only purchasing 3. Equally ensure they don't leave with anything that was bought. We sabi buy 20 yards of cable and leave with 10 or 11 yards. Also ensure if 20 meters of cable was written, what was supplied is up to said length. Also one could list 200A breaker and buy 100A. Could state 10mm cable but buy 6mm. Location plays a huge role else if you rely on just we in here, person from the North fit look am as being very cheap BUT person in Lagos would think otherWise. Before you say jackRobbingSin, you don confuse. See eh, loop holes plenty. And please next time, don't notify us you would be buying things yourSelf till we've given you a quote. Reason be say most times, the quotation wey we dey give those wey wan do overSabi different from those wey allow us breath. Mind you, as you dey vet items + prices, ensure to also vet their capability |

queenfav:I feel like say a lot of things BUT would instead just say 1. you didn't mention the location which is very very important. When handling out of state projects, except we do wayBill go there, some places na waste of money because the so called markets ain't anything compared to Markets in Lagos and co. 2. You said "I am buying these myself" I wonder how you would be able to buy those things yourSelf without the required knowledge becase if you do have such knowledge, you wouldn't need us to vet the above list to begin with. Mind you, the moment you enter shops, they're able to tell where you belong. Dem fit even chop you ppass wetin the workMan for chop. 3. Mind you, there are multiple ways to get shortChanged by people in our field. Have said it in here severally, you can't supervise what you don't know, or atleast have basic knowledge about. And if you overDo, dem go punish you with bad work + mayBe even steal those things right under ya nose + eyes. What I would suggest is getting someone who knows the work, is not too greedy, and is willing to go far enough to give you the best. |

smallsmall:Have said it in here a few times in the past. Warranty/Guarantee for [cheap] Naija products na stylish scam, pure Funny enough, you fit even spend plenty money and still suffer to utilize said warantee. Honestly, the stress to claim the warranty is even worse than the loss. All those cheap products na buyBait. Before they change it for you, you go explain tire, track receipt, and burn transport fare. No be for mouth o, na inside pot of soup we go know. I judge the product by how it performs right now, not by the audio warranty they wrote on paper. Major reason I don't even bother with warranty is the sheer stress to claim it. For 9ja, to use warranty on cheap products na extra work. They will stress your life, tell you to come today, come tomorrow, or find one blame (e.g power surge) or the other. The taste of the pudding na when you chop am—if I buy am and e work, fine. If e spoil, I move on. The mental health stress to follow vendor drag warranty fit pass the money + stress wey I go spend. Insurance companies uses similar tactics. ReMinds me of old Multi-Links and Spectranet days- That "customer care loop" of "Please restart your modem" was never about fixing your specific connection; it was a crowd-control tactic to buy their overLoaded servers time to breathe. Their tactic na to stress you out so that out of 100 people wey need warranty/assistance, maybe only 10% to 15% go end up using it. The rest go just tire, count their losses, and move on. More like a "stress filter" designed to wear you down until you just give up and buy another one or look elseWhere. It's just like the days of Multi-Links and Spectranet. When network dey clear, they go tell you "Abeg restart your router." Unknown to you, they are telling 10,000 other people the exact same thing at that moment! As everyone dey off and on their device, it reduces the load on their jammed system so it can recover for a few minutes before everything goes back to square one. All na format! The taste of the pudding na when you chop am—if the product or service no good from day one, no amount of warranty or "restart your device" go save am. |

hoover420:Actually, it depends on their terms and conditions. and yea, a good sales rep (or whoever picked that call) ought to know when to make provisions even outside company's policy except explicitly stated otherwise. As I dey now, make client application dey misbehave, make we just block their hosting until they fix am when we could reach out to assist either Free or not. Most Nigerians really are yet to understand the success of their business is based on success of their clients. Either way, don't know if you shared more information BUT seems the BOT ate ya comment. Mind sharing with us sticker on said inverter, and also the spec of ya battery. Make we check mayBe you trying to use a 2A charger to charge a 300AH battery and expecting it to fill up quickly |

anna081:why not first ask a repairER what it would cost to get it FIXed. When you get that figure, wait till it's bad enough. Most of these external displays are costly + not universal + the capacity wouldn't be worth the extra costs in my own opinion |
| Satellite TV Technology › Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by bassdow: 9:49am On Oct 25 |
hoover420:Did you check the cable(s) as suggested by the other person. The manual wouldn't tell you most things. And a loosened cable can make an inverter or anything see lower voltage. I signOut |

hoover420:Would suggest you give him room to rePent by first informing him that you dislike the fact He rarely listens to your inputs, YET issue remains. If He ain't gonna listen to you; at least He should ensure you got no room for complains |

hoover420:tlDr: Fire any hire you not comfortable conversing with. You said "I believe he’s an electrician but knows how to do solar installations" Being an electrician, no matter how good doesn't make one automatically good or even average enough in Solar field. I say this out of experience. You said "(even though he now base on solar installations)." yea I'm quite aware of such trend BUT no blame them. they need pay their ever rising bills. Issue is, most rarely are willing to put in the require work to attain needed knowledge. You said "Meanwhile he knows paying him has never been an issue." Well I would take such comment with a pinch of salt because Clients can be very funny; most especially the low paying ones. Dem be like some group of people wey fit spend 20 naira on woman, wan collect 120 naira. Na only you and your hire that knows better. Wow!!! you got here, no wahala; Continue below First of all, before we blame your hire, we need be sure you ain't at fault here. You don't buy a tecNo phone but expect experience of flagship phones from brands such as sonyXperia, Huawei, Motorola, etc. Secondly, when I outSource projects, no matter how small, I ensure you're passionate about what you do, not just working for the money. Even when I need hire assistants to assist me during solar installations, I ensure you not the sort who just wanna get out as soon as you could. I also try as much as possible to ensure I got at the very least a basic idea BECAUSE you no fit supervise wetin you got no idea about. Also, I quite understand a lot of professionals, even doctors and halfBaked Auxiliary nurses hate it when the person paying the bill tries making any suggestion even if you prefix your suggestion with the word "abeg no vex" BUT Me rarely run into such people because I'm so stewPid I SeeYouBeforeYouSeeMe hence; one it's difficult pretending, secondly, I would have vetted you long before having the slightest idea I would ever need your service(s). |
| Satellite TV Technology › Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by bassdow: 9:17am On Oct 25 |
AyarmBoye:First you ought to have asked to know those who have direct or indirect experience on said battery. only after then would you continue with this question. Secondly, all these pay @smallSmall plans are total rip off. If you can't afford soemthing, either wait till you could OR go for a cheaper option. SomeOne posted some things for sale couple of days ago, did you consider checking those out ? Na gbeSe dey keep person poor Ooo Now to respond to ya question; I don't and rarely have experience on such anyhow things. Me dey take ma time before making the leap |
| Satellite TV Technology › Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by bassdow: 9:13am On Oct 25 |
Bankyshinani:YES but mostly depends on the inverter and the kind of BMS used on the lithium battery. That a battery is DIY especially Lithium doesn't make it any less of a good or bad battery because a mostly COUPLE dem couple am by purchasing the necessary parts. |
| Satellite TV Technology › Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by bassdow: 9:52pm On Oct 24 |
hoover420:The bolded ain't the issue here. Also you need speak with your installer. I do understand some (if not most) try to be so mute so the client has no idea as the more experienced a client is, the less money you can make off them (at least that's what most thinks) BUT in a near recurring issue, If I were in ya shoes, I would demand a permanent solution. Mind you, there are a few who really don't mind because those coming and Goings puts extra pennies in their pockets. I know it ain't easy BUT still would suggest you demand to know what's really happening and how to put a stop to it. |

iraybuju:unFortunately, when I started this talk, I was refering to those that were like Limited Edition. e get difference between New product vs this situation |
| Satellite TV Technology › Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by bassdow: 9:42pm On Oct 24 |
IsaKielEnergy:Also the way some of these new inverters try to cut down costs eh, common to use cables beyond 4mm is becoming a huge task. You think HaiSic own worse till you see |
| Satellite TV Technology › Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by bassdow: 9:39pm On Oct 24 |
IsaKielEnergy:If He/She has to be told certain things, Then such person(s) ain't RIPE yet for building a battery pack. Lithium battery packs are super easy to build / Assemble . Also equally easy to mess up or not get things right even if they appear to work. HopeFully, He/She ain't trying to assemble the pack themselves to cut down costs because the reverse would always and often be the case except they know what they doing. |
| Satellite TV Technology › Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by bassdow: 1:39pm On Oct 23 |
hoover420:no be low Battery I dey see for screen so ? Also depending on the configuration, that 25% could be the cutOff. Also those battery percentage ain't always accurate. I sense the battery's BMS don lockUp to prevent issues. That error 3 na mostly over voltage but just try charge that battery first. if e no gree, call ya installer to assist you. Currently too busy to type plenty |

bashiruhammed97:rePeatedly, we've shared and discussed, and even argued the PROS and CONs of such systems hence wouldn't wanna go back to it. BUT If I were in ya shoes, and don't wanna spend much, I would do the below: Ensure Fan is DC. Have shared how to buy them at dirt CHEAP prices and wouldn't be rePEATing ma self again Buy 1pcs Brand New 625w halfCut mono solar panel or 2pcs of USEd 350w Mono solar panel for not more than 100k 1pcs quality 12v 200Ah battery (New or USEd). If Lithium, feel free to do 100A but if leadAcid, must be at least 200AH A quality USEd 60A MPPT charge controller for <= 100k 1pcs of DC 400W 15A step up boost converter or similar for approximately 10k With the above, you can power your loads and even add 2 more laptops and could even add TV if it's the type that uses external power adapter. NB: The above gives 100% room for fuuture upGrades with almost no reason to reSale anything which is often one major way to loose. 2 Likes |

idsolar:it's Okay. Normally, I tend to love overDoing somethings hence I often leave a gap of at least 100v where convenient BUT still, a difference of approximately 55v is still VERY okay in your situation.
