hi,
are u looking for Tesla bat or "Tesla power wall", Tesla power wall is not a "stand-alone" thus cannot use it in Nigeria, I don't think we run a grid system yet?, so i am guess u looking at Tesla Bat ripped out of Tesla car, if u are interested i can source it for u outside the country,

at the moment i am doing a DIY Tesla type battery....
Was actually looking for Tesla Power Wall...

I understand it can actually be used for normal backup too without connecting to feed the grid (grid tie).

I actually contacted some good people in this forum and they recommended I go with BYD Li-ion batteries and I'm making arrangement for that.

If you rip batteries from EV for DIY, I'd like us to discuss further.

You can post the details here, I'll contact you.

I'm sure many people here too will be interested
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Braaad:
Hello good people of this forum, please, I urgently need a link to buy Tesla power wall here in Nigeria.

I've tried some companies including PSC solar, they don't have in stock.

I would really appreciate a link to buy it here or to get it directly from the company abroad.

Any help is highly appreciated.

PS: if there is any other alternative of comparable quality to the power wall, I'd like to know.

Thanks in advance

HealthRe: Ask Me Anything On Drugs And Supplements by Braaad: 5:42pm On Mar 03, 2019

You're right, except that this largely doesn't mean an immunodeficiency (state).
Humans are normal nidus to various microorganisms. Most of these microorganisms are probiotic and helpful in their parasitism, these organisms also add to the inate immune system of the body too. For example, microorganisms such as Lactobacilli species of the vaginal microbiota sustains the vaginal pH chemistry, Staphylococcus aureus in the skin prevent other organisms from intruding deeper, others essential for vitamin synthesis in the lower gut etc.
Prolong use of antibiotics can reduce the activities of these responsible bacteria leading to extrusive growth of infectious organisms that could cause infections(a disease state). This doesn't mean the immunity was down,it is just like a long-term use of NSAIDs and are you not expecting to be prone to peptic ulcer disease?
When you stop using the antibiotics the infections may resolve again if the opportunistic condition hasn't gone deep. But if it has, you have to treat as required and put a hold to the antibiotics use.

This case is different to one being in long term use of antibiotics because you have a serious health condition either with the spleen or bone marrow or liver or kidney. These are group of conditions fit for any doctor to prescribe drugs to boost immunogenic cells to help keep the body from deterioration.

Do you understand me?
Hmmmmm....all the grammar is leaving me more confused.

However, what's your thoughts on "cellguivity"huh

...just hope I got the spelling right.

2Ballz:
To you, do you think prolong use of antibiotics cause a fall in the body immunity?
I think so, cos after taking antibiotics, one may likely have an outbreak of infections especially yeast infection due to the body's inability to defend itself at the moment.
HealthRe: Ask Me Anything On Drugs And Supplements by Braaad: 8:02pm On Mar 02, 2019
Pls doc, what supplement can be used to boost immune system after prolonged taking of antibiotics.

Thanks in advance

Ah! I used FedEx based on the experience shared by duwdu who used FedEx as well and got delivery of the same inverter (just that mine is 3kva). Now I am worried!!!
Duty fee for your inverter should be around 12k to 22k depending.

I had a similar experience with DHL on an inverter. I ended up paying 22k cos I was in a hurry. I was told I could have paid less if I didn't opt for express.... That was 4years ago.

Can Renault Ball Joint really solve the Hand issues of Hondas professional help

I just got an information from a friend saying his own friend also told him he had his Honda Accords Ball joint replaced with that of a Renault Car and he said with that they were able to put an end to the Honda Accords Ball Joint failing issues

Please has anyone here also tried that or something else before please share
I would advice you stay away from any Honda saloon car. But if you've already gotten involved, always replace worn parts with original OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) spare part and totally forget the Renault thingy.

Honda is overall a nice vehicle, but there is no putting an end to "leg pull" except by periodic checks and maintenance.

Good morning sir,

If everything goes well, you shouldn't have a problem.

And yes, the neutral terminal is usually grounded at the substation. I would however request that you second verify with a tester that there is no current flowing in the neutral terminal before hooking up the CC.

I have a question for the electricity buffs in the house.

A friend is constructing an office complex and his electrical contractor wants to install an RCD/RCCB at the service entrance to protect the whole facility (all personnel and devices downstream of the RCD/RCCB)

In order to 'improve the speed at/certainty with which the RCD/RCCB could respond to a fault and disconnect the supply', he has already jumpered/connected the Neutral and Earth bus bars in the DB with a 16MM cable - this installation is here in Lekki - while I know this practice of linking Neutral and Earth is common practice in North America and even mandated by their electrical code, I am yet to see it done here in Nigeria.

I had raised a similar question previously - what do you think? Should Neutral and Earth ever be linked here in Nigeriahuh (I believe our transformers are star/wye wound and the neutral wire center tapped - dunno if PHCN actually Earths their neutral wire at the transformer)

Does this practice help the performance of an RCD/RCCB in any way?

The office will also have solar power tied in(where I come in grin ) - I am struggling seriously with wiring the CC Earth terminal to that same Earth bus bar in the DB that already has an AC neutral connected to it.

Hello Guru,

What's your take on having a 2006/2007 BMW 328i or 325i as a first car (daily driver)??

What are the things to look out for in terms of maintenance or inherent problems with this model/brand?

Thanks for your anticipated response

CrimeRe: Share Your Experience Of Extra-judicial Killings By Uniformed Men by Braaad:
I had a sad encounter a long time ago with an armed mopol. He just came out from the bank, siezed my phone, before I could ask what happened, the guy tear me slap o.....I tried to tell him I'm a student and ask what I've done wrong. He just cocked his gun and told me something that has always linger in my memory... "I will shoot and kill you before you finish identifying yourself as a student".

To cut the story short, he called the patrol team, picked me up took me to the station. There they tried to extort me....they asked me to call my parents or anybody to come and bail me.

I just told them I don't have anybody to come bail me....I ended up paying 1000 to bail myself. They told me they needed to give something to the guy that arrested me else he would think they collected money from me without giving his own share.

I'm over it now...but I've learnt.

Directly from MPP Solar: USD859 in total, including shipping. (I explained the shipping part in an earlier post.)

To me, the package was relatively more expensive pretty much everywhere else I looked - aliexpress, Amazon, eBay, etc.

Still, miles may vary...

Invites for the next stage for the Graduate Engineer role should start rolling by next week.

From experience, dragnet will rarely send unsuccessful candidates regret mail.



I wish us the very best.

The numerical aspect is another bullshit. Table does not have "June" yet question was asking sth about June to August.

I called their attention and the told me to just skip to the next one.

Verbal and skills test to the rescue.

Dragnet no dey try.
Seems like we got exactly same questions... Are you electrical oriented??

Thanks for your suggestion, I'll carry out another audit and hopefully post the result here.

But the battery couldn't have been discharged at 90%DOD, since inverter has a low battery cutoff of 44.4v

Dam5reey:
@ the Bolded, Something was Wrong from the Start.
From what you stated, Seems you always discharge to 90%DOD

650 Watts for 6 hours is 3900WHR, Your Bank is 9600WHR.... Equation no balance.

Your Load calculation is wrong, Do another Energy Audit first.

You have enough Solar Power, Upgrade to 8 Batteries use Quanta or equivalent.

Are you totally off Grid? In that case you need to upgrade panels up to 4500watts and Minimum 8 batters

mcTrinity:
well, inverter inefficiency and/or battery ineffectiveness has been pointed out.

however, my small little personal observation is just the design. 3000W PV array on just 200Ah Battery Bankhuh
that's about 62A (3000W/48V) hitting the battery during bulk charging. unless you're running freezers and ACs during the day.... which is even unlikely since it's just one bank.

huh
Thanks for the observation, but the charging amps was adjusted to 40A for either solar or utility charging (not totally off grid).
