Technology Market › Re: How Long Before Your 5 Kw Solar Investment Pays Itself Back? by Captainjack100: 9:05am On Sep 09, 2025 |
Primistine: In other words, I'm saying, if you spend X million setting up a solar system for yourself, how long before you spend that same amount, say if you're buying fuel every day to power a gen set.
Quick context and assumptions We are modelling a typical 5 kW PV system for a 3-bedroom house with some night storage. For this particular scenario, deciding between a lead-acid (tubular) battery or a lithium battery doesn't make much difference, but I've added prices nonetheless. The inverter is a 5 kVA hybrid.
Fuel price for petrol generators is taken as ~₦850–₦900 per litre. Small genset fuel burn for a 5–6.5 kVA unit is estimated at 1.5–3 L/hr, depending on load; we use 2.0 L/hr as a conservative everyday average for calculations.
For a 5kW solar system, you may spend upwards of N6million. (Check image below)
So, depending on your current use of gen to power your house, your spending on fuel should look like this:
1) Light users: 2 hours/day → 4 L/day → ₦3,600/day → ≈ ₦1,314,000/year.
2) Moderate users: 4 hours/day → 8 L/day → ₦7,200/day → ≈ ₦2,628,000/year.
3) Heavy use: 8 hours (or more)/day → 16 L/day → ₦14,400(or more)/day → ≈ ₦5,256,000(or more)/year.
So, moment of truth...If you spent, say ₦5,890,000 for a 5kW solar system with the number of components as suggested in the image, it would take: 4.48 years, if you're a light generator user using 2 hours/day → 4 L/day 1.12 years if you're a heavy generator user using 16 L/day → ₦14,400(or more)/day
PS: Of course, there's a lot of simplification and assumption in this example, so please take note that real-world results will vary.
So, over to you? Is worth switching to solar? 6 million will get u 17kva working solar and 24 hours light for a three bedroom |

Phones › Re: From An Android To The Iphone by Captainjack100: 8:45am On Sep 19, 2023 |
Deandean: In an effort to avoid admitting you don’t know the difference between RAM and ROM you have said more rubbish. iPhone 4 doesn’t run a 2GB ram and 2GB ram has never been experimented in it to know how it’ll perform , how do you compare what is a fallacy with a reality. I can flip it and say S22 ultra can hold a 512mb rRam only Samsung choose not to use it. And then start comparing and imagined s22 with 512mb ram with an existing iPhone 15 promax. Does that make sense to you.
Generalization stands for all , and I ddnt say all. Admit you know nothing about phones. And if you are looking for performance and durability buy an XS over S22. This is general knowledge. Nobody that knows phones all over the world argues optimization and performance with iPhones. Just say they are overpriced. Yes i agree. You dont get to do many fun stuffs like you have on android, true. It uses a lock-in strategy, fine. But the Apple ecosystem is 20 years ahead of android. Android is an open source OS. It’s a one size fits all system. It can never be optimized to match an IOS.
Stop arguing rubbish bros. Bro stop with all your cap alright Iphones don't make mid-range phones like Androids. Even the iphone6s plus. 6s and other iphone were once flagships So when comparing with other Androids. Be specific and not take a mid-range up with an iPhone. That's the issue with you iphone people. Flagships should be against flagships and all Iphones are flagships. They release phones like once in a year. Other brands could be three/four times or more in a single year |

noobody: Simple, China is a big country, China mainland is where speedaf operates from,and that is where Chinese ROM phones are used the most and sold, But global versions phones mainly come from hong-kong,thou a part of china,but not on the china mainland,Hong-kong is more western and liberal than the conservative Chinese mainland,also global version/Google phones are mostly restricted in use on the mainland. Speedaf doesn't ship from hong-kong as far I know. Singapore post and DHL handles that Make me understand better bro. Did you mean Chinese delivery or it must be Chinese Software? |

jawalis: Life generally. I have graduated from the Uni since October last year and nothing seems coming forth. I struggled so hard to see myself through my seasons in the university and now I’m emotionally drained. No job, I don’t keep friends, no relative is checking up and I’m gradually loosing my mind. Life indeed is not fair. Life is not fair. I can relate to all that. People will hardly check on you when they know you're not doing good. You just have keep the hope alive and not give up. Better days ahead is true Watch those keeping distant getting so close. Then you have to make use of your wisdom |

Loss of interest in things you once enjoyed is often a main symptom of depression. With the current situation of the country, where everybody is going through a lot, everyone is gradually losing interest in something. If you think this through you will see that it’s not even growing up or adulthood, it’s just depression. If you have lost interest in activities that used to give you pleasure, you may also lose motivation to do things.
I know you are thinking about it right now, tell us,

In today’s world, laptops and smartphones are two of the most widely used devices for both personal and professional use.�� With the advancements in technology, both devices have become essential for people in their daily lives.
Interestingly, many young people in this part of the world, are not familiar with operating a computer. This includes some who have studied computer science and technology. Am I lying❓�
I was fortunate as my eldest sis owns a computer center, so I had early exposure and was able to gain a lot of knowledge through self-teaching. I did not have any formal instruction.
If you can see and read this post, that means you have a smartphone, YOU NEED A LAPTOP NOW.� |
