HealthRe: Slipping In The Bathroom And Freemanan's Untimely Demise. by Braaad: 8:27am On May 02, 2016
This is not the first time i'm hearing such stories...so sad. Once a woman was mopping the floor in her living room, she slipped and fell unconscious. if not for her little 2 year old baby that kept crying uncontrollably help wouldn't have come to her. I think its time we educate ourselves about this imminent household hazard. People should be able to distinguish between normal smooth tiles and the frictional ones. If you live in a rented apartment, you can have a shower carpet (don't remember the real name) in your bathroom. I think that will help with friction.

So sad to see young vibrant youths die in circumstances that could have been prevented.

RIP to the dead,

The living should take note!

Yes I strongly recommend monocrystalline solar panels in this brands ; Solar world (German), CSUN (Turkish).. In Chinese brands , I have used , tested and will recommend Yachi/Yarsun , Perlight panels .. Joy & yingli panels are also good if you don't mind .. Please feel free to call me on any of your choice as some are out of stock for now. I also have professional solar roof mounts for sale .. Thanks
PhonesRe: Infinix Hot 3 Part Review: The Simple Device That Is Only Good As A Side Chick by Braaad: 6:07pm On Apr 28, 2016
was only watching the video to see your "fine face"....have never been a fan of those china phones.

MissTechy:
In this case, the side chick in question means second device grin

Infinix launched the Hot 3 that had many people question the logic behind releasing a phone that comes with 1GB RAM especially in 2016. Of course, I was eager to see how far it would take me. Another thing I was eager to see was the talk about the soft flash, remember the Hot 3 comes with a 2MP front flash which is low in my opinion (Although who MB don epp), so I wanted to see why the Soft flash was being hyped. Do watch the video and let me know what you think

Thanks boss...Please, do you have any mono crystalline solar panel /manufacturer you can recommend? and how much does it go for?

kiekie1:
I admire your courage . Basically, majority of inverter/solar installers will advice you on mono crystalline solar panels. Its a bit more expensive but it dosnt mean poly crystalline dosnt out perform mono in most solar installation sites I have been to! I have clients who are active in this forum with mono and poly panels installed in their house , after much observation & comparison , they came to conclusion that poly performed better in their area ... It solely depends on your choice , poly or mono panels are both effective & efficient , so do not create a biased mind for yourself OK.. Thanks !

Good Evening to all the Oga dem in the house (chris81964, earthrealm, Richmond, George, kekkie, etc) including determined learners like me. Thank you for all the good advice you've been providing because now, I am at a point of buying solar panels for my solar installation but i'm getting confused by the day on the kind(type) of panels to go for. some people say that considering our hot climate, poly pv cells would be my best bet because mono pv efficiency reduces by increase in temperature. while others argue that the heat down here (south) is not enough to cause damage to mono pv panel. Yet others say the type of panel doesnt matter but the manufacturer does. As a DIY kind of person, I want to get it right the first time. I have 4 Trojan J185P-AC batteries. im looking to get a 600w panel (200 x 3 or 300 x 2).

my system is inverter by Voltacon 3kva with 60A MPPT cc inbuilt.

waiting to read your responses...Thanks in advance. smiley

Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Braaad: 1:30am On Mar 15, 2016
Mr chris, thank you very much for the help you are rendering on this forum. Please, I still have some questions with regards to the PIP MSD/MST series inverters.

what is the difference between the ones with the heat sink on top and the ones without?

Why do you have to install with an additional charge controller, could it be that the inbuilt CC is not effective??

Also, where can one get it for a reasonable price here in Nigeria(eg. Gaint Power version, mpp solar etc)

Thanks in advance as your response will go a long way to help



chris81964:
The inverter is manufactured by Voltronic Power. Different people sell it under different names. Ground the PV. Ground your combiner. I would not do a positive ground of the batteries. I have instructed my people to do negative grounding. Visit the company s website. They have a manual on their page.
They are pretty OK inverters. I run separate charge controllers. The 5 Kva is more finicky.
Good luck
TravelRe: Bridge Built With Wood And Concrete - Photo by Braaad: 2:59am On Mar 14, 2016
Always make research and use your eyes before posting a misleading topic online. Those are not wood...those are steel column used for a type of foundation (pile foundation). This type of foundation is used When the soil is very soft and solid base is not available at a reasonable depth to keep the bearing power within safe limits. It is also used When the grillage and raft foundation are very expansive, or When the building is very high carrying heavy concentrated loads or When it is necessary to construct a building along the sea shore or river bed.

Thank you very much for your response sir... One more question please...
can I loop the AC and chassis ground together or should the chassis have and solar array have a separate grounding?? Thanks in advance for your response smiley

richmon74:
It is always an argument btw UK and US on which battery polarity to ground. UK says +ve and US says -ve. But for your safety, do not ground any. Do the standard earthing of the AC line n chassis. They are very durable inverters to my surprise. I've installed a couple of them in both residential and commercial environments and they are still working great.
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Braaad: 3:48am On Mar 08, 2016
Thanks bro... i'll check it up right away.
DUNKA:
seems like an Axpert branded inverter. Talk to oga Chris81964. He has installed several. Also google a South african forum i.e. powerforum.co.za and read through they have a lot of info and valuable tips on this particular inverter over there.
Satellite TV TechnologyRe: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Braaad: 3:47am On Mar 08, 2016

Please, All the Professionals in the house, come to my aid... I just got delivery of a 5kva transformerless inverter from UK but im confused as to the installation and grounding required for the solar panel array and the inverter. (I even read somewhere that the +ve terminal of battery should be grounded). I know that most of my "Oga's" here have dealt with transformerless inverters, Please help me with the knowledge to install this piece. Thanks in advance. @richmon74, kiekie1, earthrealm, chris81964, tnycee

Ive attached a photo to show what the inverter looks like.

Thanks for your quick response. But does that mean that FG Bond is better than Tbill?
and how fast can I access it say tomorow??

unite4real:
Going by last auction, if you invested in Treasury bills for one year, you get not more than N8,980. It could be less depending on the bid.

TravelRe: Bristow Helicopters Releases Statement On Crashed Aircraft by Braaad: 7:34am On Feb 04, 2016
you sound like you dont know much about those craft....they are fitted with floater that deploy once they land on water, so the craft WILL NOT sink. what happened there was a controlled landing on water.

holamiday:
I don't get. This explanation is a total sham. A complete scam. An uttter charade.

There is no such thing as a water landing for an aircraft that does not have capabilities to land on water. A regular helicopter lands on water, it sinks immediately. Maybe they meant that the helicopter crashed in the water and all occupants swam to safety.

I think they should tell us more about the type of helicopter.

RomanceRe: 2nd Child In Every Family Is Always Outstanding by Braaad: 4:11pm On Nov 01, 2015
I think I see your angle of reasoning now...that everything 'second' is better than first. Now, while you might be using this to console your self for reasons I am yet to find out, I want you to know that if second was 'better' Jesus wouldn't have referred to himself as "The First and the Last". ...should have been second and second to the last...maybe he would have been second born of all creations. I have nothing against second born though. But look for a better argument. This one is empty.
mubarak001:
I understood u perfectly bt u re yet to discover my angle. Literally, the 1st king of Israel was Saul while David was d 2nd. John and Jesus were cousin, John as an elder cousin, hence, John came b4 Jesus. 1st disciples ws the 12 while Paul came thereafta...wch mk Paul a 2nd disciple in d school of disciple ship. Joseph was d 2nd to d last...2nd ws involved.
Conclusively, both 2nd child/position is what my intent addressed. I actually posted dis to receive criticism from nooks and cranny, and then use it to develop d piece b4 publishing.
RomanceRe: 2nd Child In Every Family Is Always Outstanding by Braaad: 11:50am On Nov 01, 2015
post=39573397:
It is a principle I have observed over the years and that led mi to take my pen to write a book concerning the above topic...

If you belong to 2nd position, judiciously savor the opportunity and convert it to ur advantage.
It all depends on how you see it... I've heard people talk about it. But what I believe is that every child has a gift, some make use of their gift than others. God did not create anybody for nothing. Find your purpose in life, and you will be happy.
Your use of 'bible principle' is not well strengthened... If you remember, Joseph you mentioned was not a 2nd child. And I wonder why you compare Jesus and John. David was not a 2nd child...pls always get your facts right. God himself has regards for every firstborn that opens the womb. Think about Jesus, Samuel, Solomon, and other firstborn you know in real life.
Your argument should have been that there are challenges encountered in being a firstborn. Some are spiritual and others are not.
