Ask him what he was doing for. A living just discuss with him like someone that needs and find out somethings about him. From there you can advise him accordingly.

See my brother the earth revolves. Show him love and try to find out his xhallenges. God will bless you
Family › Re: My Step Mom Asked My Dad To Empty The House by capnies(m): 11:32pm On Apr 29
Samantha125:
This is the reason why some of us don't want to be step parents, the woman literally sacrificed her clothes for your school fees and even suggested that your father should sell your household furniture just so you can get educated, but here you are today trying to portray her as an evil stepmother... This better be just a fiction.

One thing I've noticed about being a step parent is that you can never satisfy your stepchild no matter how hard you try to fill that void of their biological mother or father... Sometimes it's best to just raise your children as a single parent if it happens that the mother or the father is no longer in the picture, and only consider marriage again or getting a long term companion once they're adults and out of the house.
Read between lines
Her statement was irony
Oya go and sell the house now so your son can go to school
Even my wrapper cooking pots etc

The guy is playing on your senses, why did he wait until the girl travelled


Wait until the girl comes back, then observe


Have you asked your roommate about her guy

Has she told you they're nomore together.

Don't be desperate and create a big scandal.

I know what we are capable of


Stay away.

People quarrel and reconcile

ALL I CAN TELL YOU IS THAT THEY'RE STILL TOGETHER

DON'T BUY INTO THOSE LIES

ITS EVEN SHAMEFUL FOR YOU TO EAT WHAT YOUR ROOMMATE VOMITED,

Apprentice is Apprentice whether married or not.

If you have many Apprentices whether married or not you'll do double standard.

If I see her kneeling down I'll simply ask what did you do she'll explain, I'll say ok, I came to collect house keys continue your punishment. Then I'll greet the madam.

Good After ma and give her thumbs up 👆 and leave

2pcs of 450w would give approximately 900w which is just about 100w above what most charge controllers supports for 12v system.

in other words, YES 2pcs of 450w solar panels would work though the charge controller would slightly clip it .

BUT please ensure it's just a single 12v 200AH battery. Don't try 2pcs of 12v battery which would give 12v 400AH as it would struggle to charge.

That's if you prefer Tubular battery, instead of Lithium based battery.

if Properly planed and sized, a used battery should serve you well enough while saving you money
Please which 12v controller accepts as much as 900w panel. What's the pv input? Most panels are high voltage panel. Parallel connections?

I think most will be wasted, the controller will heat up and pack up faster

That's price range to give idea of price. Doesn't mean you get it at that exact price point.

When I mentioned exact prices, I included names of Valto and mrReed because it's latest prices we got from them between Mid March and 3 days ago.
Ok
Because the money is small

TlDr
- 4.2kva haisic inverter= 350,000 naira. A used one would be CHEAPer. Also 2kva would also work and is CHEAPer + less Solar Panels
- 24v 4.4kwh Lithium battery= 550,000 naira or 2pcs leadAcid battery (USEd)= 300,000 naira
- 6pcs 550w halfCut Mono Solar panels (NEW or USEd)= About 120,000 naira each (NEW) or 95,000 naira each (USEd)
- Solar cable= going by your budget, na NEPA wire of at least 35mm go work for you. A bundle should be enough.
- Skip mounting rails due to budget constraints; Binding wire or Concrete nails in the right hands would do a good job.
- You can't skip breakers (at least 2pcs) and surge protector
- Battery cable (A lot of batteries don't come with one hence budget for one)





If you got here, means Above wasn't enough for you, enjoy the ePistle below;

Since you intend running mostly day time, you need more of Solar panels than battery + still need give enough headRoom for days with dull weather

As per which is better between Hybrid vs non Hybrid inverters, would say that's a personal decision though most people prefer Hybrid inverters because they get to skip purchasing an externnal charge controller which could be pricey when quality is considered.
Another is, it lets them run more solar panels at high voltage.

Yet there are those who prefer nonHybrid inverters mostly because they're more durable and someWhat forgiving when stressed.

Another is, between a hybrid and nonHybrid inverter, chances of successfully repairing a non Hybrid inverter is mostly (always) much Higher than a hybrid inverter. At certain stage, even with a hybrid inverter, you might have to eventually use an external charge controller.

At end of the day, decission remains yours to make.

That being said, since you got the space + security and someWhat the budget, would suggest the below which ain't any diferent from what I suggested earlier

For batteries : you have options of either leadAcid or Lithium based batteries.
If going Lithium, and don't know reliable lithium battery sellers or how to identify quality ones, would suggest you buy from those who sell in here like Valto and mrReed so should the battery mess up, the group could drag them. 24v 4.5kwh is about 700,000 naira or 24v 8.5kwh which is 1.1 million naira last we bought from Valto. There's also mrReed who's much cheaper for 24v 8.5kwh of around 820,000 naira. You still could go for mrReed 24v 4.4kwh which is about 550,000 naira.
The batteries could be more cheaper depending if coming with wooden or meatlic box.

BUT if going for used Tubular or Dry cell batteries that's still in good condition, 300,000 naira should get you about 4.8kwh (that's 24v 200AH) which when coupled with enough solar panels, should really really serve you even in fairly poor weather.


Inverter : a 3.5kva to 5kva hybrid inverter from any average brand should do e.g Haisic 4.2kw. Reason I'm suggesting Hybrid inverter here is that most have direct Solar priority feature hence so long the load ain't bigger than what's coming from the Solar panels, they work your battery less. Non Hybrid inverters work somewhat similarly BUT not in same manner. And a haisic 4.2kw inverter can handle more than 6pcs of 600w solar panels

Solar Panels : Here you need at least 6pcs of 550w solar panels OR 8pcs of 450w or 400w solar panels. Ensure it ain't the old versions.

Solar cables : Copper is always the best BUT then, it's price could make one look for alternatives and yes, Aluminium would work BUT you need a thicker one to do same work as Copper. You need 10mm Copper cable or minimum of 35mm Aluminium cable (NEPA wire) which is much CHEAPer than 10mm Copper cable.

Don't forget, you still need breakers and other accessories to protect your investment. For mounting accessories, going by your budget, you could skip those so the big Small budget could better focus on more important things.

A small note on Surge protectors: Don't spend money buying surge protector if it wouldn't be connected to ground. Have seen those which weren't, Wonder what they're expected to do.

24v 4.4kwh Lithium battery is 550k

this is regular hotPlate or electric cooker. The ability to go On (when cooler) and OFF (when hotter) is controlled by the thermosat in the knob you use in setting it. If you don't want it going ON & OFF, na to just byPass it with wire and e go just dey red HOT dey go.

BUT induction cooker operates differently and costs more also. Very prePaid meter and Solar friendly
Some induction cookers behave that way; if you set them at 800w, they operate by first going high to 2000w and switch off for a while and then pick up again, the aim is to use 800w in one hour of cooking.

Mostly the cheap ones

scale of project matters. also makes for easy error detections as you could easily disconnect without thinking of how to unTie and reTie things after checking for things.

BUT for small projects, especially pesonal ones, not worth it much especially considering the price of any mc4 more than 1-way.

Infact I had my son stay back home today because of their cultural day where the school sold cloth for students,it wasn’t even about any purpose other than making money.we parents are allowing most these things cos we patronize anytime they come up.
You're saying the truth, some parents behave as if they have it all, especially the semi-illiterate money miss road group.

That's why most parents don't attend PTA meetings again. Because before you could make an observation you'll see them bark and bark as if they were paid to come and maintain the status quo

Thanks for your input
The guy is 43 already with 2kids how can one save with 160k income in this economy plus time is no longer on his side that's why we were really advising him to start something he can grow being a personal driver at 43 years is more like being a domestic staff at that age
Also he can't be doing driver and learning solar at thesame time
uote author=Onegai post=138822080]N160k a month isn't bad.

He'll need to work super hard and make time to learn his solar and CCTV business whilst working as a personal driver. People go to school and work at the same time, all the time, it's do-able.

I'd say take the job, give himself 3 years with the job so he can save up and be learning his solar business on the side. You never know, his Oga may need to recommend someone doing solar and if his driver has done his job diligently as the Lord commands us in the Bible, this could be a big opportunity.
Let him take the job and be learning the solar online first.
He is not driving 247..when there's a will there's always a way.

Let him take the job from there he can meet other people in his master class and who knows, what tomorrow will bring

I think another issue is the 100a continuous discharge current that can limit you if you change the pump. But you can still dismantle the battery and change the bms to a higher one
I DONT THINK ITS THE BMS.
THE STARTING CURRENT OF A 1.5HP PUMP CANNOT BE MORE THE 40A EVEN AT 70-75% EFFICIENCY.
100A IS PERFECTLY OK.

TRY TO PUT OFF EVERYTHING IN THE HOUSE BEFORE PUMPIING WATER

But a 4.2kva inverter should have a surge of at least 7000-8000w

Most of this inverters are poorly rated.
Satellite TV Technology › Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by capnies(m): 12:37pm On Mar 17
Please gurus
The 500w inverter in itel power tank is that the continuous wattage or peak.

Is the peak upto 1000w
Can it power a 90w freeze due to the surge

This innocent children you killed will definitely come back to hunt you.

You can’t protect your children and slaughter other people's. Nemesis will fish you out.

And for all of you that support evil in the name of Christianity, know now that Israel is not a Christian nation God does not know them.

90% of Israeli people practice Judaism, God does not know them.

God does not support evil, every living soul is precious to God.

The God I worship does not kill , He rather gives life.

The devil comes not but to steal and to kill and to destroy. But I've come that I might give you life and give it more abundantly.

God does not support any war, no matter the reason

Iran being a Muslim country is always very sincere in telling people the number of casualties but in Israel being a Christian country no bomb exploded,only minor injuries,nothing like death.
Israel is not a Christian country.
There are more moslems than Christians in Israel
The Israelis practice outdated Judaism 90% of them

About 6% moslems and 4% Christians
people are just fooling themselves thinking God is with Israel as a country

The true Israel are genuine Christians all over the world, who obey God and do His biddings
