Am off to sleep with my lovely family in my 12 hectares mansion. lol. Ehnn
Some will be sad that i live in a mansion like that o.

Okay now I wantu "beef" you

Why would you live in a 12 hectare mansion when you and the family can manage a face-me-I-slap you 2 room apartment?

Does that not amount to waste of money and space? People can be wasteful sha cheesy

I ignore you not, sir. I thought my answer to you here was (https://www.nairaland.com/5694023/sale-tcl-49-inches-4k#86902507) was satisfactory, sir.


Eco mode (Economy Mode) in TVs could be in two forms:

1. Low- Runs 30% lesser
2. High- Runs 50% lesser (which means runs at about
44% W.

I.e. running the TV on energy saving Option Low could reduce energy (98 W) use by 30% if this feature is enabled, and running the TV on energy saving Option High could reduce energy (98 W) use by 50% if this feature is enabled...


NOTE: Sometimes the Eco mode in TVs may not be necessary, as the view mode automatically saves power.
Okay sir. Thanks for the response.

Forgive me if I initially sounded harsh. I got a little tired of waiting for the response grin

dear solasola and truthbetold, what the both of you said is unfair. never has anyone on this forum with a large array questioned or insulted anyone's small array/system. these older guys are usually very willing to help others. if you haven't seen houses that need such systems, I have, but still, that is not sufficient reason to basically insult their choice of an electricity system. please do not drive these men away from this thread with your bad attitude. they try out new innovation with their system which gives us the courage to try it out on our smaller systems. And please, truthbetold, stop with the foul language, it makes you look bad
Why d'you think they'd be driven away by that comment? They are part of veterans that have manned and kept this thread alive for hundreds of pages and you think they'd be rattled by a newcomer? Haba. Dem Niyi and co are comrades on this forum and I am sure they'll see things as the Yorubas will put it - Ìtì ògèdè ni, kò tó ohun à ñ yo àdá sí

Translated - It's an incosequential matter that does not require losing sleep over.

And honestly, I'm just catching my fun reading truthbetold's diatribes.

Do I need to have 50,000 Watts of Panels when 3000 watts can do the job? You must be very dense.

Next time, try to sound intelligent.
Eskiss sah, can you outline your daily energy requirements that subsist on your 3000 watts and peeps will help you to analyse if your 3kw is good enough.

You shouldn't really talk that way about someone who decides to power air conditioners, deep freezers, pumping machine, heaters and much more on solar.

Abi is it possible for someone to power all that on 3kw array? Please sah, tell me if it's possible o and how I can go about it because me too want to learn so that you won't call me "dense and proud" with big solar installation.

truthbetold22:
In all sincerity, you have the most inefficient system on this Forum. I am not sure why the other enthusiast choose to ignore but renewable energy is not a race or a competition of the largest solar array and largest battery bank. It is more a function of getting steady power at a reasonable and comparative price as opposed to relying on the national grid.

Even at 3X solar capacity production, you would be generating 60,000 watts daily. I struggle to understand why anyone would go through that much energy in a day for a regular house and claim to be a renewable energy enthusiast. It isn't a function of deep pockets, it is more a stupid approach.

Simply swapping out a few energy guzzling appliances and using timers and energy saving lighting will reduce your consumption by half. I struggle to understand how spending 10 million on Solar which needs to be swapped out in 10 years makes sense. At that price point, you are paying 80-100K per month effectively. What then would it cost to simply be on generators.

Again, if you have as much wisdom as you display on this forum, you do not need 19,000 watts of installed panels. Not sure what point you are trying to prove but need I remind you that you are not a factory and do not live in a palace.

Good luck with your endeavors, I mean no harm.

I am ordering one via aliexpress soon. Thanks
That AE thingy is somehow. An order that I've placed for over 3 weeks has remained unshipped till now.

I've had to open trade dispute for some other items that have not arrived and the purchase protection had ran out.

I understand their constraint, really and even I myself will wanna be careful about getting stuffs from there after I experienced some episode of flu around early January when I took delivery of some (like 12 large parcels) items. I didn't have a face mask on or used gloves. The only conscious IPC protocol I observed was to avoid touching my face with my hands thru and also made sure to wash my hands when I was thru with opening the parcels. But a week later, I experienced the type of sore throat and catarrh that I haven't had in a long time, even with serious headaches. I was scared and literarily avoided families and friends for the 10 days that I had that flu.

It may just be the ordinary flu that comes with the hash harmattan but hey, I had reasons to link the parcels to the flu one week after, in my own mind o.

I read that parcels from China being a vehicle for the transmision of the Covid-19 is very remote, but I won't take chances either.

GRACEGLORY:
If you look above, you'd see I've made some few details and corrections. Average or Nominal power is the continious or long term power that the TV consume, while Maximum power is very short term spikes in power that the TV may have to consume, and no TV runs full blast on it's Maximum or Peak power.
So, the Average, Norminal, or Standard Power (90 W) is what the TV consume continuously, and not the short term spikes in power (120 W).
Thank you. But you've not really answered the question.

You know that LG, Samsung, Hisense and I think Sony TVs have this power saving mode which significantly lowers the continuous power consumption at the expense of backlighting. Backlight can be reduced to reduce the total power consumption of the TVs.

This is a desirable feature for those that don't have the luxury of grid power supply bit have to rely on solar energy or storage batteries.

Usually when I make purchases, I routinely go with a wattmeter handy to get all these parameters and ensure that I know what I'm getting into as regards consumption. But my location is far from Otta so I can't do that routine check. I think it will be good if you have a wattmeter so that you can further add the real life consumptions of these TVs as part of their specs.

So does this TCL have that option?

Taking over is just for some peeps on this thread, as it stands over 99.9% still rocking their lead acid. The reasons tend from the pricing, availability, and of course lack of the knowledge of the technology.
Believe me. If you consider the benefit, the years of faithful, near constant power delivery and the juice you get outta lithium and juxtapose it with what you get from lead acid chemistry (except lead carbon, I suppose), the price will not be a set back.

Besides the affordability of lithium is improving by the day. Thanks to Asian manufacturers. If it were to be only Pylontech that is in the market, lithium will still remain a pipe dream for many.

The Americans may give you quality at neck breaking prices, but the Asians give you more options of quality based on your pocket. The end game is they drive price down and eventually you get quality at par with what the Americans offer at affordable price.

120 watts consumption. That is what a 220 litres deep freezer uses.

So does this TV have the option of POWER SAVER MODE that can be activated to reduce that damning 120 watts to something more tolerable like 40 watts?

I know Samsung, LG, and Hisense TVs have power savers that makes them sweet for use with solar installations.

Science/TechnologyRe: Six Reasons You Should Install A Burglar Alarm System by ceaser: 2:53pm On Feb 23, 2020
Now that NCC is saying Nigerians shouldn't have more than 3 SIM cards each, it might become difficult to run all these stuffs except one decides to use a home WiFi system to control several units.

Problem is I don't trust using WiFi cos it can be easily hacked and Alos has the problem of failures which may warrant re-starting the device.

I have SIM card for my home burglar alarm system, two Sims for the telephone intercom system, a fourth one for the automated gate opener and a fifth one for the security cams. Even two cars each have SIM cards for their trackers.

NCC should re-thunk this their useless rule.
Science/TechnologyRe: Pilots Who Disappeared In 1945 During WW2 Suddenly Reappears With Aircraft by ceaser: 2:46pm On Feb 23, 2020
Jayjezey:
The world of wonder, today, 13 / 02/2020 around 7:15 AM this morning, a single-engine propeller aircraft arrived in the vicinity of the United States Air Force restricted flight zone and used an abandoned military radio frequency to demand permission to land on the installation.



The pilot ignored several warnings from the tower operators, insisting that his obsolete aircraft was a military vehicle belonging to the U.S. Air Force.

The craft was finally escorted to the airfield by two F-14 jet fighters and landed on the airfield under close scrutiny.

The base’s security staff was extremely surprised to see two disoriented old men wearing WW2 uniforms come out of the cockpit, visibly confused.

According to U.S. Air Force spokesman, Colonel James Miller, the two men claimed to be have disappeared in 1945 and have no memory of what happened to them over the last 75 years.

The soldiers asked the management of Airport if the war with Japan was over and who had won. These old guys seemed physically arranged.


Colonel Miller was reported to have said that the men’s fingerprints and teeth seemed to match the military records of the men they claimef to be, Lt. James Monroe and Captain David Smith Jr., but they seemed to be much younger than they should.

“They look around 65 years old when they should be over 110 years old. It’s as if they had gotten lost in a type of warp zone where time is slow.”

Both men as Reported by Time news will now undergo a thorough medical examination and interrogation to try and determine the veracity of their story and what may have happened to them.

The aircraft was authenticated as one of five planes part of Flight 19 which disappeared over the Bermuda Triangle in December 1945.

Flight 19 was taking part in routine navigation and combat training exercises in TBM-type aircraft when they lost radio contact and disappeared.

None of the planes were ever found, and another craft even disappeared while searching for them.

Unfortunately, the two men seem to have no memory of what happened to them during their ordeal, so the mystery remains total concerning the faith of the other aircrafts.

I believe this is the type of DC timer he is talking about. I intend using it for some outdoor lights soon to program when they come on and off during the day.

This Corona virus thing just dey spoil my plans.
I didn't use timers for the security lights, simply because with the changing soltices illumination changes while the timer remains constant. So initially by 6:30pm darkness may have descended but at some other time you still have daylight even at 7pm.

So what I opted for was an ambient-light controlled setup.

this one might suit you, since you are ok with low water flow, 24v 250w!.
You need to be sure that the output bore diameter of the pump is the same as the pipe bore diameter in your current set-up so that swapping will be stress free.

naah, hvnt used it, am eye balling it.
i wouldnt recommend connecting a single 300w panel to it. even if it is canadian solar panel, it will struggle to keep up.
i wish i can see an mppt cc where the load side will handle upto 250w dc load.

50m borehole depth is ok for me, as most boreholes there are 100 to 120ft deep.
the cable lenght being 15m is not relevant to me, as i plan to buy 16mm dual core and join to it

@24v, i believe is the standard rating , it should work ok from 20v to 40v..being the voltage range of a 24v panel, even at that, the Vworking voltage of any 24v panel is about 18v to 22v.

i have a novel idea..to run the power to the sumo from the mppt cc input, ie where i terminated the output from 2 x 24v 250w panels.....wonder if anyone has tried this approach before grin grin grin
so when the sumo is working..it will pick the needed 250w it needs ffirst from the panels, while the excess would go into the cc, and charge the normal setup i have
Hmmmm. Waiting for those that've tried this before.
