Hello Guys,

Starting a Frozen Food Business and I will like to ask for advice if a solar setup can effectively power 2 freezers and a Chiller?

Also, I will appreciate suggestions on solid installers in Lagos

317L thermocool inverter freezer (24hrs for chilled drinks supply)
207L thermocool freezer (24hrs for ice block supplies)
203L Ignis freezer (24hrs for house foods)
Desktop fridge (24hrs)
1hp LG inverter AC (intermittent), 1hp submersible pumping machine (intermittent)
Sundry appliances (Lightings, TVs, Chargers, Food blender, Washing machine, Cameras, Sec. Alarms, water Fountain (24hrs), DC standing Fans, Gate opener etc) - intermittent

These are the appliances I can think of for now

Setup:

320w mono panels (16pcs) on 5kw 48v felicity hybrid
150w mono panels (8pcs) on a different Charge controller
150w mono panels (4pcs) on a second Charge controller

25ah 48v Lithium (10pcs)in parallel to make 250ah
280ah 48v Lithium (1unit)
Total LFP - 530ah 48v (25kw)

All these gets fully charged at days with good sun hours by 3pm
Less so during rainy seasons or dry seasons when dust cover on the panels is unavoidable and at those times, load shedding becomes a priority and the freezers are turned on and off at intervals.

There is another 24v system with 4pcs 320w mono panels and 300ah Lithium that powers a separate 203L Hisense freezer dedicated for Ice block supplies.

MY loads at any point in time, excluding the AC usually ranges between 800w to 1200w, the former being at off peak periods when everyone has retired to bed.

All has been running for a minimum of 7 to 9 years. All were not done at once but gradually built up, which explains the different lithium configurations and the rather awkward panel configurations and 150w and 320w specifications which represents the different times in history when such panel sizes were the mainstream. And it was mostly DIY.

Note that some of the appliances like the Router, Cams, Security Alarm, Some lights, Water fountain, Sliding Gate openers are all DC powered appliances that each have small packs of lithium batteries so that even when there is AC power supply shutdown, these vital components still continue to run for at least 10 hours.

Thought this might give you an insight into what you may require for your frozen food business.

Good luck

Sad.

Who wouldn't be scared sh1tless of such harrowing moments midair?

bassdow:
You don't expect I start arguing with you. Do you ? Because I wouldn't. We all are RIGHT in our own numerous ways.

Thanks

You're welcome bro.

We all learn new things everyday don't we? So it's okay to be open to updated facts and ideas.

swagifted:
person house for florida...using enphase micro inverter... e CHOKE.

I think I'm counting up to around 250 units solar panels on that sprawl of building. It may be more. Eachvoanel may not be less than 300w.

I'm helplessly envious. Damn!

bassdow:
phones charges at most 5-volts, your UPS batery is mostly 6-volts or higher. car batteries are 12-volts. You wan fryy your phone be that.

Moreover, taking current directly from the battery, is not always good especially if na Car battery as the output could be very dirty.

What I would suggest is, if your chargeController have USB port, make uuse of that or if you have laptop or TV that has USB port, make use of those or buy Car phone charger (which is actually an inverter but outputs CLEAN 12-volts) and connect that to your battery.

mind you, Car battery ain't meant for deep discharge like solar batteries are.

I just read this and I just gotta say something sha ni.

Dude say car battery output is dirty. Dirty ko, messy ni

There is a reason it's called direct current and not alternating current which have sinusoidal pattern.

And you even get the most stable wave pattern from a car battery supply than from a buck converter like the car phone charger which is just electronics that try to mimic DC output. At the end, you still end up with ripples in the DC output waveform compared to the best output from the car battery.

Good day friends.

Are you on twitter? If you're on twitter you'll see the interesting manners in which their propaganda are being punctured by facts, even facts of 100, 200 years ago. I understand your concerns, which are of course valid. Good thing though is that this time the aggression is towards the Yorùbás, not Fulanis. And this aggression will likely last the next 8 years. Unlike Fulanis l, Yorùbás are masters at the media game. So if you've been conversant with twitter, all the false narratives are always punctured with verifiable facts that are brought forth by the Yorubas.

It also creates another platform to educate the young amongst Yorùbás about their rich history and culture. When the knowledge is there, the danger of a false narrative is always mitigated.

So,fret not. For Yorubas are master media strategists, not on misinformation but in impartation of knowledge thru the media.

Basic123:
Honestly, Igbo now control social media.They control what people know..its the information that they wish to spread that spread especially with the help of ARISE TV.what they do is to trend a particular narrative using all their bloggers and Social media handles then Arise TV will pick it up on there trending issues part of the their morning show then the bloggers and SM handlers will trend the arise TV programme to further escalate their 'false' narratives and give it some level of credence.

That is the pattern ..from Lagos election hullabaloo,Tinubu travelling for medical trip, to Bulaba speech, to attack on LASG on indeginization bill,blackmailing lagos/yorubas with demolition, to Tinubu 120 convoy,to Attack on Asake using yoruba to sing etc.....they use the same strategy to mask all the atrocities that happened in the East during the election and still happening and escalate the very little that happen in lagos.Yorubas should just wake up.If Igbo want a false narrative to spread within 5min now,they will propagate it successfully. They now market "information " which are often false narratives like they market their "fake products"!

Something to

Is Fayemi there?

The US and west fast loosing their relevance and hegemony.

helinues:
When Carlson Tucker asked former president Trump who blew the Nord pipeline, he said I wouldn't want to put Usa in trouble but I know for sure it wasn't Russia.

Who then blew up Nord pipeline??.

The US of course. I knew from day one. That 46-day UK prime minister sent an SMS after the explosion confirming the incident. "It's done", she said. Russian hackers followed the conversation.

Meanwhile in February of 2022, Biden had threatened, in the presence of German PM, that they were gonna destroy the NORD stream pipeline if Russia invades Ukraine.

Simple

Because the party agent copies cannot be hacked, but the iRev can be hacked.

Bill Gates visited the nations leaders on Tuesday. And on Thursday, the FG announced they are to unveil 3 new varieties of wheat.

I hope that man has not introduced GM wheat to the FG. GM foods all over the world are being connected with cases of infertility amongst populations that consume them. And what better way to enforce "Eugenics" - a strong agenda of the bill&melinda foundation than introducing it through foods that are mass consumed amongst the "undesirable population".

Gates is not very good news. Recall that his wife prophesied doom and gloom for Africa during the covid 19 months. Being someone conversant with the health field and hearing such horrendous estimation of deaths to accompany the pandemic in Nigeria, and knowing how inadequate our health infrastructure in Nigeria and Africa generally is, I expectedly got more worried that her prediction might be cast in stone. This is even more likely since it became clear that the virus was not a natural one but a bioweapon created to control populations. So it made sense to get really worried.

However, looking back, I'd say the divine powers decided to be on the side of Africa and Africans.

Even Americans are fed up with Gate's overbearing attitude.

After truck-load of boxes of evidence?! 😲

This is unfair nau.

This Mele Kyari is one of the criminals that deserve to be sentenced to execution by the peoples court.

😪

Nonsense.

Na so una talk say una never comot subsidy for the month of May only for Nigerians to wake up 24 hours after to a new draconian price regime.

We know that there must be a unified exchange rate just like subsidy had to go at some time, so could you just get it over with and stop playing these hide and seek games.

Mele Kyari, that Zainab Delilah cum Jezebel woman and Emefiele are all unrepentant chronic liars and devils that Nigerians should place their necks in the gulliotine reminiscent of the French revolution.

Is this a movie? 😲

Ha! Wàhálà dey for this world ó. Some men go thru a lot in marriages but they brave it and stomach all the rot, simply because it will be a sissy that will come out to complain that his wife is maltreating him or accuse his spouse of "husband battery"

Saint Obí, the nollywood actor that passed on about 2 weeks ago was all along a victim of domestic violence from his wife, who had already bore him three children. But he didn't blow it open. A very cordial and gentle man, his demise was attributed partly to depression from maltreatment from his wife.

First time I'm seeing MURIC trying to be objective and nit be a bigot.

Even a dead clock is correct twice a day.

Kudos to MURIC.

Guide777:
We disagree.bWha5 happens to competence. Senate President and House Speaker should go to Muslims. We must all learn a lesson.

Yeah. Lessons like burning down the country àbí?

Because our candidate does not win doesn't mean we should hope for the country to burn to ashes or be taken over by the military in a coup.

Even MURIC who is the real bigot seems to be reasonable this time.

See your handler sef. I know they call you "sticooooo" because you "stick" it into any inter-femoral crevice you see irrespective of if it discharges odious ooze or if its foul-smelling.

I'm sure inter-gluteal crevices will not be spared too.

Ha! 😲 Antibiotics for virus? I fear 9ja online doctors wannabe ó.

I'm sure 3.5 million of those died within 6 months under the new Naira Policy of Emefiweele.

He has commited serious infractions including contesting for political office as a public officer under the same party he works for, and without first tendering his resignation.

He must be tried once he is out of that position.

People, what is wrong wit AE? It seems they are now obsessed with "returning items" before you can get back your refund.

A Lenovo think plus LP5 Bluetooth earphones that the right pod heats up within minutes of wearing it and connecting tk the phone. It constantly disconnects and reconnects with the phone and with the counterpart left pod. The heat within minutes is significant that I am afraid it could explode in the ear (this is lithium powered device were talking about here)

Chatted one "Rírí" AE custocare like that on the issue. Well, I remain an unsatisfied customer and I just decide to cut my losses and move on.

Is this a new thing or how do we address this now?

This cheap pr0paganda?

You better not fall for it and you too tearing your own. Besides it's even a crime against the Nigerian state to tear up the passport. Tha passport he tore is already expired. It is double-punched which is done to render the expir3d one invalid, like they do to a fak3 note in the b ank.


He may already have his identity on a database such that he may be arrested anytime he makes a mistake to step on 9ja soil.

See what nonsense is happening now. Saros in Lagos teaming up with aliens to bring unrest to Lagos, same way it happened during the EndSars. They were pacified even by the governor and told that their agitations will be relayed over the presidency. Yet they continued in that trajectory until such time that the security forces were forced to come in.

The governments and the military in Nigeria known for inherent human right infringement decided to go with absolute force using life bullets on the protesters instead of using rubber bullets or even water cannon. This is what the opponents have hinged upon to work against Sanwó's government. The protest degenerated to destruction of Lagos infrastructure which is carried out by a specific set of people whose name I won't mention. But these people were commandeered on radio by someone with deep seated hatred for the Nigerian entity and Lagos too. The audio recording abound on the Web if you need evidence.

In like manner, Saros have formed alliances with some to again take powers from Sanwó. If Sanwó survives this tsunami, he should work harder at moving Lagos forward beyond the level it is now. He should invest in getting water cannons and rubber bullets and never in his life should he allow his citizens protest to be dispersed with the use of live bullets.

The rest of SW are looking up to Lagos and following the developmental trajectory of Lagos. This is a normal attitude amongst siblings where there is healthy rivalry with the younger ones looking up to the successful eldest to attain their own level of development and probably surpass him/her.

If Lagos developmental trajectory is truncated, the remaining SW states will likely get their development arrested.

So chose your devil wisely.

Zikist ideology that can no longer fly. Azikiwe pitted some misguided Yorùbás against Awo's Action Group party at that time despite having been invited into SW Region by Awo himself. This made Azikiwe to be chased back into the SE, having lost the goodwill of the people of SW. This is exactly what is playing out again, trying to put division amongst the Yorùbás.

I'm not sure this time will also be different. Yorùbá political history is well preserved amongst the majority (not the woke ones) that seek to learn from it. Hence this history is available to also guide at this crucial period.

There souls are delivered from being further damaged by joining APC.

I told some Yoruba missroad state grabber immigrants that true Lagosians have shine their eyes and they have started queening behind their own but some fools thought otherwise. Today, thousand of true indigenes of Lagos will be voting for GRV this Saturday. Just watch all the Yorubas that hated GRV are mostly missroad, landgrabber immigrants from Osun, Ogun, Etkiti or Ondo but their time and antics is up.

Gbadebo is a true Lagosian and not an immigrants like Sanwolu. He is the most qualified to be governor of Lagos state. For long Lagosians have been sidelined to one corner and scavengers from Ogun and Other part of SW have been syphoning the resources and wealth of Lagos. The money Tinubu has stollen from Lagos no true Lagosians have made such in his or her 100yrs on earth.

The good news is that true Lagosians have the opportunity to reclaim their state back from all this immigrants rascals from SW by supporting one of their own Gbadebo of LP or continued slaving away to this rascals from neighbouring SW state. Reclaiming back your state does not make you guys less Yoruba neither those it make you guys Igbo apologies as this rascals immigrants from SW had made you believe over the years. For it is the right thing to do by reclaiming back your state and governing your state. Lagosains, it is time to begin to put on your thinking cap. For example, there are also large percentage of Igbos in Ogun state. They live happily with their Yoruba brothers. Now a quick thought, why are they not fighting them in Ogun? If truly Igbos want to take SW, why are they not bothered about them in Ogun and other SW states as they do in Lagos. Yea, your guess is correct. It's simply because they want to continue to govern your state and continue to steal from the rich resources of Lagos. They knew very well that the Igbo man always vote competent leader who understood ecomony very well and who will create an enabling environment for businesses to strive. That's the only reason they fight against the Igbos in Lagos. They see the Igbos as a threat to achieve their demonic aim which is to syphon Lagos wealth to themselves.

To the true Lagosians, you now have the power and opportunity to correct this years of stealing, intimidations and ethnic blindfolding in your land by voting your own son Gbadebo of LP as governor or continue to be govern by criminals from Ogun, Osun, and Oyo while turning your own royal father's, the Oba of Lagos to mere puppet and political and ethnic bullying, your eligible sons to govern to outcasts and your children children to touts. Don't be deceived be wise, Igbos are not your problem, Igbos have been respectful and helping to develop your state and also helping you true Lagosians reclaim back your state. The ball to reclaim back your state is now on your court.

It’s like you didn’t watch that video where a boy from your tribe who formally worked for ur strong man/bala blu was confessing how ur Demi god was collecting rud from him.
Yes he mentioned his name, talked about how he got the job to work with him, how he was invited in his hotel room and was asked to do it. Ur Demi god asked him to even pour inside, what a shame. The guy said & I quote, “it might be the reason why he is leaking now”.

The young man later resigned & ran out of the country with his family. The evil ur strong man can’t commit does not exist.

I am certain that some people watched the video but choose to keep quite but u Agbadorians won’t stop insulting other people’s candidate. If u live in glass house…….don’t throw that stone.

Waoh! I didn't hear of this but I would love to have links to the full details.

But the hard fact is that many Nigerian politicians, wealthy men and people in the entertainment industry have at one time or the other needed to do things like this in order to be admitted into the circle.

Atiku was famed to engage in it. Nnamdi Kanu in one of his broadcasts (which I listened to) mentioned that Peter Obi is Atiku's receptacle.

FFK has at one time in recent past clap-backed at Dino Melaye as a gaybriel. And I won't be surprised if he (FFK) also has or engage in such fantasies because "only a thief sure can tell the footprints of another thief on the rocks".

I hope they won't try to hoodwink Tinubu into this nonsense.

Anyways I'm sure he won't even want to compromise himself being a professed Muslim and his wife a Christian clergy.

The western countries, thought they may appear desirable on the surface, are already ghosts of their former glories by the adoption of some of these crazy ideas which even birthed other terrible trends like gender dysphoria in children as young as 5 years.

The ones that have managed to stay off this trend like Russia and some middle Eastern countries are still able to keep their sanity.

I seem to recall that tinubu has a queer daughter. Or were you not informed?

Yet another. Such shame. May the heavens not bless us with hard-to-manage children.

Our brains appear inverted.
We tolerate corruption and corrupt leaders, but feign moral superiority when it comes to matters related to sex, an activity that people engage privately.

Our hypocrisy and shallowness is nauseating.

Its sad really, the way Africans takes some issues unquestionably.

It makes us to see ourselves as inferior to a supposedly aryan or Caucasian race. Meanwhile Africa is the bedrock of civilization and it was only decades of pillaging by the whites that destroyed the rich African history and culture.

You should know that this "freedom to do things between adults" that you preach vehemently equally has strong opposition from many populations amongst the whites but they have sadly been forced by the few misquided that run their governments to align with such strange dictates. The small population that still manages to brave the storm and speak out, act out and point out against these abnormalities are the senior citizens who find it difficult to justify how these strange laws and way of life reflect the dreams of their founding fathers.

The west is the greatest hypocrite if you must know. It is they that perpetually labour to keep Africa underdeveloped through various means including sponsored coups, regime changes or outright assassinations of perceived great/promising African leaders. They act sanctimonious but they try to lobby your leaders, or force them at times, to keep doing evil or acting dictatorial and getting corrupt in order to further their own (west's) interest. Then they turn back to accuse you of failing to develop or of being held down because of corruption.

Recently,they come here to accuse African leaders of getting too close with the Chinese. But they have forgotten that the foray of the Chinese into the African continents has been less than two decades, yet their presence is trailed by lots of infrastructural developments in the road-and-belt initiative. But for the west that have frolicked with Africans for close to a century, it has been wars, famine, currency deregulation and all sorts of underdevelopment that they've offered us.

When China comes to Africa, it is to do mutually beneficial business. But when the west comes to Africa, it is to tamper with your domestic policies to their benefits and to your disadvantage.

It is even funny that this US diplomat that has been travelling across the African continent to discourage African leaders from forming alliances with China has been travelling through African airports constructed by the Chinese, driving on "African roads built by China", using "African trains built by the chinese", yet condemning African leaders for aligning with China.
.
The west was able to transit through her period of industrial revolution using fossil fuels and built herself to achieve this new dispensation of digital revolution. Now that Africa is on the trajectory of getting through her own industrial revolution (which can only be guaranteed with the use of fossil fuel), the west suddenly realized that there is something called global warming. Throughout their years of industrialization, they contributed 80 percent of greenhouse gasses that is giving us the current climate problems in the world, Africans contributing nothing throughout all those periods. Now that Africa is to need fossil fuel to industrialize and contributing less than 5 percent of greenhouse gasses in the process, the west is trying to mandate us to transit to non-industrial sustainable renewables.

Hypoxrisy is you building your own house with bricks but trying to encourage others to build the few they need to build with straws quoting depletion of earth sands as a reason they need to do that.

To know how deep the west is wicked even to themselves, you can't go to an Scottish bar and say that you want an "English breakfast". It will be seen as an insult. The US blew the NORD stream pipeline that supplies cheap gas to industrialised Europe, starving them of cheap energy source and almost plunging Europeans into deadly winter. Yet they come to Africa to preach to us about managing relations between African countries. Nigeria supplies Ghana and other neighbouring countries with electricity and gas, sometimes even to the disadvantage of Nigerian citizens, but the US, France and Britain have ganged up against Russia, using powerless Ukraine as a pawn in this game.

I can go on and on about the hypocrisy if the west, even to themselves. So please don't look down on yourself. You don't need to kowtow to the west in setting your own standard. As an African, I have had my own fair exposure with a brief sourjon in the west but I managed to keep my sanity all through it. As Africans, we have our own values and cultures that are sufficient to set our own standards and there is nothing wrong with preaching our own standards to the westerners too rather than allowing them to overrun our own standards with theirs.

ZINNYBANKS:
No one even look bothered about our incoming president. na to go guinea remain like this ...

What would you like forumites to discuss about him?

millionaireman:
Suddenly shops of Igbos in Abuja and Lagos are going on fire. If you don't see Apc sympathizers in the work, you can't see beyond the nose.
Until the fire moves from markets to public institutions, APC will not understand that it's not only APC that has urchinss.

If you are not so sure, do not start what you can't finish. During the endsars, there were arson being commited across Lagos but conclusions were not yet reached despite radio broadcasts by Nnamdi Kanu that boys should target structures owned by Tinubu and Lagos State government.

Much after the whole hullabaloo died down, and emotions cooled down, investigations were carried out. The arsons on Lagos infrastructure after the EndSars were later established to be carried out majorly by Igbos after exhaustive investigations. Some of the arsonists were arrested and arraigned and prosecuted by the law courts.

So if you decide to get a spur of the moment reflex led by uncontrolled emotion by going on reprisal spree even before truly establishing your facts, I can assure you that you will be the one ending behind bars instead of the perceived or alleged arsonists.

Wisdom is profitable in everything.

Only Ibos are angry and that is nothing new. They're born angry, envious and hateful and so remain till death.

Funny enough, OBJ has Igbo ancestry. It is reputed that his father is Igbo and mother Abeokuta. Mr. Macaroni too is said to be Igbo in the maternal side. Majority of those that has been pushing for post electoral unrest and violence both online and offline are Igbos.

However what punctures the theory is the fact that Falz who is unapologetically an obidient is fully and thoroughbred EKITI paterno-maternally. There are also a number of other pro-obi celebrities who has no connection to Igbo. I had a neighbour who voted Obi, but of course he is not beating the drums of war if his choice Obi loses.

So I guess while that connection in bold is a very hilarious one and true to some extent, it might not be the standard.

It's called "Rala red, rered, relaba".

Thank me later.

Outrage as how?

Na business ńa. Me too I don dey think to stock Peter Obi own for Obidients tó purchase massively.
