breakers are used between panels and changer control and main(Phcn) and inverter.. so if am right you want a breaker for the panels and charger controller?

There are situations were breakers are used, not on every installation.
There are always breakers between battery bank and inverters, though some inverters have it inbuilt, others don't.

1. What's the purpose of Earthing of panels (To protect the device from lightning). The buildings around my panels installation are higher and they got a lightening protector, before the lightening will get to the panels the house Earthing system will proctect it.

2. Have already explained it before, the battery voltage determines the change controller voltage to use(since my batteries are 96v the charge controller most be 96v to able it monitor the batteries) the panel determines the amps. Adding more amps space is for the safety of the Charge controller. Please take note that the 10% i stated is for emphasis purpose, it can be more but should not the lesser or thesame to the amps the panels are supplying...

Please are you an installer...
No, I am not an installer.
what rating of dc breaker would you advise to be used between a 24v 200ah battery bank and a 1500va inverter?

1. The initial Earthing of the house will cover my panels installation

2. The charge controller is acting as a surge protector too.... Remember our charge controller rating is 96v 80amps, while the panel connection is 120v 72amps, if the intensity of sun is at is peak, the panel produces more Voltage which is then convert to amps, and will already have more space to accommodate extra amps .

Note: Your charge controller should have atleast 10% increment of amps than what your panels are producing, to avoid damages to the charge controller or fire out break.

Thanks
1. how would the initial earthing cover the solar panels? are you connecting the frame of the solar panels to the house's earth wiring?

2. 120x72 is obviously more than 96x80, so how does the 10% apply?, and since you're using mppt, I believe the wattage going in also matters.

yes sir... that's what we used and so far no ish..

Check the charge controller and see the wire below..
Ok, how about earthing for the panels? and surge protection.

Pardon my late reply... the election matter tire person jare..

Thanks for spotting the wiring, i was hoping no one would asked but since you've asked.

Electrician is working there too, trying to segment the house load to 3 more AVR, the power there is really bad.
The Generator set would still be mattered close to the solar installation.
Work is still on going...

For the solar panel connection a combined box was not used.
Please revert to the hand drawn schematic i uploaded early.

A positive wire ran through all positive panels terminals, same as the negative wire too, down to the charge controller.

4mm wire was used for connection of the solar panel to charge controller.

10mm wire was then used from the charge controller to the batteries.
do you mean 4mm is sufficient for 120volts / 72Amps ?

your wiring doesn't look tidy.
how did you combine the solar panels? did you use a combiner box? what wire size/rating did you use to connect from solar panel to charge controller ?

Now he was called out and about to be labelled scammer, he started replying messages like tomorrow no dey. @dragnet, you are not following this thread so you may be totally be imformed to give accurate judgment. He has spoilt many fones here than repair, he will never reply when called out here, instead he will read the messages and rather post his adverts without denying or accept. Hope he is learning his lessons now.
I know nothing about his past exploits apart from the fact that I remove his ads from here and the other IDs that spam the section.
I have only given my opinion about the current transaction.

At certain point in life, one needs to know the right time to talk and when to keep quiet. Imagine you saying sending the phone back is more or less a value added service, and you saying how much profit did he make look at the rationale behind your question and ask yourself if he earned the money for mee, your point of reasoning is sincerely flawed with due respect. Are you're simply saying he's not obliged to send the phone back Cox he made just small profit or what? That also accounts for the reason why he refused to pick my calls or reply my messages only for him to reply after i called him out here, it also accounts fir the rationale behind him blocking me on WhatsApp, if you really have nothing to say at times, it's better you just waka pass, and it's usually better you put yourself in people's shoes before you speak at times.
When next you intend to pass comments like this please be very objective ; lest i forget, there was no need to make reference to the fact that I'm a law student or my lecturers, a rationally thinking person would deduce from the facts of the case and evidence available.

Well done Counsel for the Accused.
Have a nice day
I can see that the truth hurts, next time you can't handle unbiased and contrary opinion, don't ask for it. That I gave my honest opinion about an issue that I have no stake and you already resort to unwarranted insults and sarcasm? says a lot about you.
..
I gave my opinion with laid down facts and that's more objective than you who is merely trying to play on emotions.
..
why did it take so long to pick your phone? HE WAS AT THE POST THRICE, AND DIDN'T GET THE EMS SUPERVISOR EASILY.
..
why hasn't he sent your phone? HE WAS AT THE POST TWICE AND ALSO THE ATTENDANT CLAIMED THERE'S NO INSURANCE.
..
why did he ask for transport fare refund? HE IS INCURRING TRANSPORT EXPENSES FOR THE SENDING AND PICKUP SERVICES HE IS RENDERING TO YOU.
.
understanding the above isn't rocket science, the only issue here is the communication lag.

I think the basis of the transaction should have been established from the onset. Knowing that this was not a purely physical transaction, if Repairpal had agreed to send the phone after repair and he defaulted, then its not out of place for the customer to feel awry over the transaction. If however, repairpal had told the client that he might not be able to send back the phone or he would only be able to do it at his own convenience considering his schedule and the nature of Lag, and the client still decided to proceed with the transaction, then the client has no complaint. In all, communication is key and Repairpal should understand that.

Abeg make una resolve una issue and move on.
Let's assume he agreed, didn't he claim to make 5 trips to the post office? three for pickup and two to send? doesn't those count? or is there a hidden enjoyment one gets from going to the post? especially in Lagos where a 5 minute trip can become 30.

Good day Xiaomites,
Hope the day has been blissful,
THIS IS A BIT LONG BUT PLEASE I CRAVE YOUR INDULGENCE TO TAKE TIME TO READ
I wish to bring to your notice the Inordinate, Unruly, Annoying and highly 'Uncustomer' worthy attitudes of AllGadgetsNG A. K. A Repairpalng.

BRIEF STATEMENT OF FACTS
1. I have this Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 with a little but cracked Screen issue and battery problem.(i came here earlier when i paid the same gadgets world for battery and he refused to deliver) ;prior to that, may I add that we'd a memory card deal as far back as may 2018;instead of sending me two 32GB Memory cards, he sent one 32GB memory card and another 4GB memory card ;he asked me to send the 4GB memory card back to him, so he'd send the 32GB which i did, lo and behold, he said he didn't receive the memory card. That's not even the bone of contention.
2. Fast forward to January 8,2019, I asked my Elder Brother @Acekid109 to send the Note 4 to repairpalng in lagos, which he did, he sent via EMS, the phone arrived lagos within 2days and repairpalng acknowledged the fact that he received a call, he didn't pick up until 17th January, 2019, exactly a week after the phone arrived Lagos, before he picked up, when I called to know howfar, he was just so rude on phone ehn, he was telling me he receives about 100 calls a day bla bla bla, so he can't trace the number of the postmaster that called him.
3. He received the phone and proceeded to repair the phone and on the 21st day of January he informed me of the fact that he'd fixed the phone and battery. I paid up all his money. He initially asked me to send transport fare to post office which i did, on arrival at post office, he said he was told nipost doesn't send phones, of cos i know, he then told me that sending via EMS would cost 2,450, of course i sent the money, only for him to tell me that he was told at ems office that sending the phone is at owner's risk huh huh huh But i sent this same phone via ems na.
4. He then said the only method is to send via TRANEX, in his words

"Pickup from their office but will send on Monday... Please note that sending your package is a favour not an obligation, my obligation is to repair which we have done Going to the post office to pickup for you on 3 separate occasions, goind to send it back now on 2 separate occasions...
It will be sent on Monday, Tranex will cost more will confirm cost AND EXPECT TRANSFER before we send it on Monday..."

5. He said he'd make enquiries and let me know how. Much sending via tranex would cost. The problem is, I'm currently In Bagauda for my compulsory 1 year NLS program, and Bagauda is about an Hour 30minutes to town, i leave class by 5pm, as at this time, they would have closed at Tranex office, i don't even know the place sef ion know if they have an office anywhere in Kano, and this is the 1st Time I'll be hearing of them.

6. In a bid to save costs, I'd to get across to my Bro's friend in Lagos, sadly enough, the guy had accident on his way to getting the phone from repairpalng. My grouse now is that this same repairpalng has been coming online for the past 4 days and has refused to read, nor reply me message.

I HATE YOUR GUTS MAN, STOP MAKING IT APPEAR AS IF YOU'RE DOING ME A FAVOUR I PAID YOU YOUR DAMN MONEY!
ACCOMPANYING THIS PETITION AGAINST REPAIRPALNG ARE SCREENSHOTS OF OUR CONVERSATION FOR PERUSAL. I BELIEVE IN FAIR HEARING, SO I HOPE HE'LL BE BOLD ENOUGH TO COME OUT AND DEFEND HIMSELF.

E. O OLATUNDE IS MY NAME,
AND ALL I WANT IS MY PHONE

UNBIASED OPINIONS ONLY PLEASE.
PARDON ME, THE PICTURES MAY BE MUCH
Unbiased opinion... and maybe unpopular.
..
His obligation was to fix your phone which he claims to have done(even though you're yet to confirm), he owes you nothing more. Picking up the phone, sending back are just value added services, you can't compel him to do them, in Lagos time is money, distance is money, going back and forth to a place multiple times cost both time and money, how much profit did he make from your repairs that you were surprised he asked you for the transport fare?

As a business person who should maintain good relationship with clients, it is good to make things easier for the clients but the business and personnel too must not suffer.

And to those tagging scammer this, scammer that, did you put yourself in the shoes of the accused and view the reasons he gave for his actions at all ?
..
You're a law student right? present this as a case to your colleagues or lecturers and let's here their submission.

it's best you put faces/names to those choosing 2 days or normal shipping, so you know how to make your decision. Either you like it or not,there's a particular clique/set of buyers that you benefit from more than others and they definitely have more volume of items than most, if they aren't making profit with the 2 days shipping balance, they won't be coming back as often as they have been and I believe you know what that means.
..
You can't expect someone buying a container load of items to choose air-freight (which is definitely faster than sea-freight), same way you don't expect someone buying just one or two pieces to choose sea-freight.

Also, all the sellers on offer up, letgo etc also are selling to meet a need and make profit, no matter your lowballing skills, they have a limit they won't go below except you use lowballing++ cheesy , which means number of deals would definitely reduce.

I believe majority of your clients here deal in Lagos, Lagos prices are quite volatile, an item's price in Ikeja can drop as much as 20k in a week, while this may not affect those in other parts of the country, though ecommerce doesn't have borders but your local market matters.

I maybe talking gibberish but...

aysha37:
Trade is permitted in Islam but not all trades.Birthdays are haram so is wedding dinners involving music n mixture of male n female who are not blood related.Selling alchohol is haram,since this is haram likewise I think making birthday cakes is haram too because we are helping in trangression.I've decided to stop baking for weddings n dinners.
Baarokallaahu feeh, may Allaah ease your affairs and keep you steadfast, Aameen.

Birthdays being haram isn't under contest but wedding dinners may not fall under same ruling which is why it is better you ask someone more versed in Shari'a rulings though the concept of "wedding cake" is actually frowned upon due to it's status as an imitation.

Don't bother responding to the person that just wants to engage in a back and forth but pretending to ask for evidences when the burden of providing evidence actually lies on them.
