China May Find It Hard to Cool Lithium’s Rally This Time Around Prices taking out records in China as market stays tight The latest industry meeting won’t help short term: BNEF ByAnnie Lee September 23, 2022 at 12:00 AM GMT+1
Scorching gains for lithium, a raw material vital for powering electric vehicles, threaten to push costs even higher for Chinese battery makers, and the government is finding itself powerless to do anything about it.
Even after a meeting last week where Chinese authorities pleaded with major producers to stabilize prices, lithium carbonate surged to a fresh record, rising to 500,500 yuan ($70,716) a ton. In yuan terms, that exceeds the level prevailing when Tesla Inc.’s Elon Musk called prices “insane” earlier this year.
NiyiOmoIyunade: For about thesame cash outlay, Victron is more robust, has better support for a large variety of Lithium batteries, has a lot more features and nearly infinite programmability, and has far better design (the product design shows superior understanding of how an inverter and ancillaries should operate and integrate)
You should check out the Victron offerings and we can compare notes
I am just in love with Victron. Victron is amazing . Problem is the price . My 1.6kva victron does wonders . Runs my fridge and freezer, 2 Laptops, lighting points, 55 inches TV, Routers and V-sat and phone charging and more . All less than 50% of its ability.
When I visit another property that I have a 2kva Mikrotec Inverter , just 2 laptops and a tv , the inverter fan kicks in and it starts struggling.
I would rather have an 800w victron Inverter against buying other 1.6kva of other brand
coldcandy: Pls drop Felicity contact. I need their lifepo4 battery
Have Felicity started doing the full capacity as they advertise . I stayed away their products years ago for selling undersized Batteries for wrong capacity. I don't like dishonest big companies . I rather build my batteries
ceaser: In Jamaica, he also charges his Nissan leaf with it. His solar array even seems to be child's play compared to what some of our guys on this thread have.
And in his interview he made mention that the Jamaican government reduced the custom duties on some imported solar items to improve affordability.
And just a little off topic, it's annoying that Nigerians have to sit for IELTS and Jamaicans don't have to. Jamaican English is nothing compared with English as it is spoken in Nigeria. Even most brits themselves cannot match up to Nigerians in Test of English Language.
NIgeria is just where money is made and it is a shame the whole country falls for it . White people just use us for money making .
Just let the thread be . Till years to come I will still use Zeestone.
FireTheSun: I know you are not interested, that is very obvious. Fair enough, that is your right afteral, l did not post the Topic on your head.
And if l dont "die the topic here", what in God's name do you think you will do, apart from just minding your Business and doing Waka-pass, anytime you see it?
I am just curious because l think such empty threats, are just meaningless.
SMH. If l were you, l wont cry more than the bereaved.
FireTheSun: Eeyah,.... I did not know YOU have closed the Topic!
I am the one saddled with a Still Damaged and still leaking Roof, as we speak. It is not even a "Topic", it is a real-life, House, with a real life Roofing Sheets that are still damaged and yet to be replaced!
So, how does a Client and Owner, 'close or die" a damaged and leaking Roof caused by the incompetence and quackery of the Installer, (Zeestone99/Mazine Group), instead of replacing the damaged Roofing Sheets?
But l am sure you have your own very good and valid reasons, for writing what you wrote.
So, l will wait on you to make such reasons available, for us to read and gain from and see how it replaces and redresses the damaged parts of the Roof.
Please die this topic here , No one is interested . We did not know when the deal was done . Just respect yourself
FireTheSun: You keep lying in Public and it shows you have zero Credibility. You told me you are a University Graduate, so it will be wrong of me, to assume you to know the meaning and import of those words l highlighted in your Post.
1) The Damage you caused to my Roof, by your Quackery and Incompetence, is more than just Leaks! Leaks can be plugged but the Damage is majorly CRUSHED ROOFING SHEETS, caused by your CARELESS and INEXPERIENCED walking around, on my Roof, with FOUR other men.
2) You said you RESOLVED the issue when l contact you about it, in September or so?. The question is: How does asking a Roofer to plug about some of the 15 leakages in my Roof, RESOLVE the issue of Crushed, Damaged Roofing Sheets? How does that "plugging of some Leaks" back them, amount to a COMPLETE RESOLUTION of the Damage you caused with your quackery?
3) My Roofing sheets are still crushed as l type this, leading to secondary problems. The only lasting Solution/Resolution is to REPLACE the AFFECTED Roofing Sheets (about 75% of the Roof Area, in the three locations you installed Panels, on the Roof). So, when you say you have "resolved" the issue, l would ask: Did you replace the CRUSHED Roofing Sheets? The answer is "NO", so what is all the noise you are making online?
I have asked a Roofer to assess the damage and the Roofer that told me the best solution is to remove the damage Roofing Sheets and replace them with New Ones. He added that the more we keep climbing the Roof to plug leakages (which keeps re-occurring within those crushed areas), the more damage we will have and the more leakages we will get! That is obvious and reasonable, to any reasonable person.
I dont need another Roofer to climb and walk on my Roof (and potentially damage it even more), for any, additional "assessment", at this moment except to Replace the damaged Roofing Sheets. There is enough "pictorial evidence" of the situation of the Roof, which l have already provided.
Since you have been sounding-off, l can refer you to the Company that produced my Roofing Sheets, in the Dopemu area of Lagos, you can pay them for the Roofing Sheets, while l take delivery of them and ask the Roofer to remove the damaged ones and replace them with the New ones or l can buy it while you credit my Account for the Cost.
You can even pay for the "Accessories and Workmanship" but stop coming here to mouth-off that you have resolved the problem.
As far as l am concerned, [color=#990000]you @Zeestone99 / Mazine Group was asked to install Panels on my Roof but in the process, you damaged my Roof, through your Incompetence and Quackery[/color] ... and the damages are still there, for all to see.
You have identified yourself here, so take your decisions here and let everyone see/read it here. If you do well, we will commend you here and if you messed up, we will mention it here as well.
MY guy this topic don close now . I take God beg you to die this matter . Haba
Please lets move on sir . Zee lets move on ooooo ,
FireTheSun: You are a LIAR! First, you said l did not tell you there were any issues. Now that l posted our conversation, you said you only knew after five days, when rain fell! Where you supposed to know you did a shoddy job, until rain fell? Was l not warning you, as shown in the conversation that you are destroying my Riif by walking carelessly on it? Did you not assure me that there would be no leakage? Its all there in the WhatsApp chat l posted.
How was l attended to? Did you straighten back the Steptiles Roofing Sheet? Did they stop collecting Water stagnantly and stop leaking?
Stop the lies. You are simply incompetent and a quack A Competent Installer will know from experience, how to walk on Roofing sheet! You did not, but ended up damaging my roof and now a QUACK like you is claiming l am seeking attention? Attention for what exactly, please?
Professional Advice from an "Incompetent Quack" that damages a Client Roof? LMAO. You are brazen and Shameless. Below are examples of what you made of my Roof.
truthbetold22: Shut up sir. If you could give a review about a bad job, then you should mention the name. If you choose not to mention the name of the installer, then it means you are either a coward or nothing of such ever happened and you are just trying to hype or promote an installers job.
Nonetheless, you have not helped anyone with your useless, half-complete review. It is you who has comprehension problems because if you realize that this is a public forum, you would not make baseless accusations without clearly identifying who you are referring to.
COWARD!!
Na real wa . This was uncalled for . Anyone that wants to Install should ask for good reviews . This the main reason I don't visit any Nairaland topic apart from Solar because of aggressive insults . Please lets take it easy
ojeysky: What solar is to us defer by individuals....for me it's all of the ones you've listed; clean energy source, significantly reduced noise, reliability, uninterrupted supply, long term cost saving and environmental friendly.
fhranchez: Fellow solar enthusiasts, i recently bought a 200w Canadian solar panel from a vendor here coupled with a 30amps CC. The highest amps i have seen is 5.2amps and 4.5amps on a average Sunny day. I don't believe this is normal because the panel maximum amps is rated at 11.6amps.
Now my installer did not remove the mc4 connectors instead he only connected the wires at the edge of the mc4 connectors. I think this is the reason for the poor performance of the panels or is 4.5amps the best i should expect from my 200w panel?
Most Canadian panels in Nigeria are fake low profile panels . You are probably getting yield best yield from the panel
durodee: I have a hybrid Gennex 5kva in use now for more than a year. Being used commercially and as I suspect, being abused at my back regularly ( being overloaded with pumping machine/2 ACs until it trips etc). I have timers on the equipment to synchronize use, but it kept being overidden for one reason or another. So, I am already looking for a not too expensive replacement in case. Moreover, i need a backup as least but Deye is out of my pocket range now.
What will be your choice as per capacity, capability and costs between: 1) Gennex 2) Epever 3) Sorotec 4) Growat
By the way, my solar panels (12 pieces , 300w, Canadian solar) are configured for a high voltage cc (450v max input) and I will prefer not to change that if possible.
I saw @ Earthrealm suggestion and I want to know people's view if cost of acquisition is also factored in. Tanx
dollarnaira: But he didn't use the word "stewpeed". Na dat part shock me o bros. Edit dat part, apologize if possible and lets move on.
I don't go to any other topic on Nairaland because of the way people argue and abuse one another , this is the only topic I read on nairaland . let always correct and love one another please at all times . Good for our upliftment . Life is short . No worries
truthbetold22: Shut your stupid mouth. The lithium batteries I currently use, i imported myself from china. I am trying to be cultured wit u but u want me to go all out. Stupid Nigerians who think they have to make 50% profit on imported goods. Where did you import a cbm of battery goods for 500k? I import for a living. If you want proper contacts, you ask instead of spewing stupidity. How much is an entire container of batteries that a cbm is 500k?
Wether 24v or 48v, your batteries are ridiculously priced and u are no better than the alaba dealers that you curse here everyday. At 24v, that is still over 600k for a 24v 200ah bank without balancing and a proper bms. Because u have joined a group to import a few pieces of batteries now, you have suddenly become an expert on battery goods. You want to place all your life problems on this few pieces of batteries you want to sell.
Simple ask for contacts so i show u how it is done.
slowpoke!!
My friend , this is out of place , why talk like this . Valto is doing thing and you just went after him . Not nice at all . very bad
Valto: they are the same, the only difference is the inbuilt 220v to 12v converter intergrated inside the ceiling fan board. btw, i market dc ceiling fans, there is a new model in the market now, it consumes only 18w and blows at very high speed. remote controlled and comes with a lengthy 5 to 8meters connection wires.
oliverwrites: Found this thread via Google. I need a solar system in my house.
I wonder how much it will cost me to get a solar system that will power 1. One 2 hp AC, a deep freezer, one fridge, three TVs, one ox fan, one laptop for at least 16 hours per day.
I have a budget of 750k will this suffice? And with solar do I still need to charge it with nepa or generator? I need a quick answer.
wilmaria14: I have questions for u When I asked u to send Dem back did u? U said I should refund u your money when u have not sent back d goods I sent u I know how many guys here I have waybill for and on d process der goods got stolen or damage I refunded Dem back d money and bear d lost to my self all in d name of keeping my good name on narialand I will not start calling names or post our dealing but if out of 1m members are u are d only one calling me a fraud all because I sent u a goods not up to what u want and still asked u to send it back so dat I can change it so be it ( and remember dis is not our first deal u did not complin den or call me out) so be it I will not try to defend me self again let does dat I have done deals here even urself be d judge on dis sir I will still repeat my self I did u no evil as long as I asked u to return Dem for change no p sir dat is all
But why did you erase the charge amps off . It is always good to be honest .This guy has all the right to be very upset . It is unacceptable with this attitude , you gave him wrong charge controllers , used panels without telling him . Your actions were totally wrong period
justcallmenuel: Installation of our 1000w solar street light ongoing.
Please I don't mean to be rude , I am just asking . Since I was a child .Asia countries been selling all these big wattage labels to us Africans . Do we really understand how bright 1000w would be or the consumption . Is it that the Brightness is equivalent to 1000watts or the lamp is 1000watts
