isangjohnson: Which area is that? Shelter Afrique? Ewet Housing? Kindly share. But for the rest of the State, it was a very terrible experience. Got family in Uyo so I speak from the experience of living there when I visit. I would love to build a vacation home there, hence the question. |

swagifted: I understand the thinking. Just minimal electronics, basic comforts. Better than the terrible utility power there at the moment |

GloriousGbola: I haven't been there in years. But when last I was there, the power was so bad, less than 3 hours a day, late at night and very low current that I found my stay very unpleasant. I had to find an excuse to come back to Abuja. |

swagifted: Interesting idea. BUT 150 watts is too small. It should be a minimum of 1000 watts per room. As a person who visits Akwa Ibom frequently, I understand just how poor the power situation there is. As limited as the power he delivers is, he is a godsend to those students. I knew how frustrating it was to be a student without electricity and I had up to 2 generators at a point, and to guarantee constant light, I sometimes never stopped the gen even to refuel (as risky as that was I will admit). I recall how after the generator would run non-stop between 3 and 5 days the sound would change, then I would have to put it off so it could rest to continue the battle later. Thanks for sharing. 1 Like |

swagifted: I agree with you, the next deal I close and get paid for, I must upgrade my capacity in PV and batteries to 12kW. Here in Abuja, their 18 to 20 hours of electricity is no more due to sabotage. Seriously, do people sell solar energy in estates now? And at that rate? |

jonescosmos: All my inverters are hybrid. Even if we run away from hybrid inverters, in other aspects of our lives we may still be doing hybrids. Only the very rich today still buy separate tuners, separate amplifiers, separate CD/DVD/Bluray decks, separate tape decks, separate LP record decks. If you can afford buy 2 of the same inverter and keep one in cold storage for the day of doom if it ever comes The market prefers hybrids (combos) and the manufacturers have listened 3 Likes |

Judolisco: Nine years ago, I drove from Abuja to Bida (meaning I had to pass through Niger) All was rosy on the way to (drove in daylight) , on the way back, (it was a night drive) I lost one tire and had to use my doughnut spare, and had to drive at speeds less than 50km per hour. I got into Abuja around 2 am even though I left Bida around 5.30 pm. It is sad to hear that after so many years that road is still in bad shape 1 Like |

Sorry for your loss. Do you still have your Sienna? How much would it cost to drive a family for 1 day within Abuja? And if you don't have it can you link one up to a sensible driver who still has that type of Sienna? Deal is for tomorrow for the whole day. You can drop a means of contacting you if you are game. |

twinskenny: What is the voltage reading at cut-off? Sabotage suspected! Set up CCTV to monitor the inverter set-up itself and not just the compound. Does the inverter record to the cloud? Review footage. Something is not right. |
Satellite TV Technology / Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by FEGEITOK: 10:39am On Jan 16 |
twinskenny: I assume the battery is 12v We do not know solar panel capacity (how many watts) so we cannot say if it can charge the battery properly We do not know the CCTV wattage drawn ( we need to calculate CCTV wattage x number of running hours) We also need to subtract CCTV wattage drawn from the total wattage available from the inverter/battery combination A 12-volt battery connected to a 1.5 kVA inverter can theoretically provide up to 1500 watts of power. But no inverter is 100% efficient so we may be looking at 1200 watts to 1400 watts continuously. The answer may lie in solving the above mathematics. |

sharks776: So, I am not alone. I almost got the 670 watts panel but after adding cost of freight from Lagos it did not make economic sense.. If I can find a cheaper way of shipping it to Abuja, I will reconsider. They wanted to add an additional 40,000.00 Naira to the cost of the panels. |

brightk: The calculation that helped me decide which panel to buy: To calculate the ratio of watts to dollars for each solar panel, we'll divide the wattage of the panel by its price. 555-watt solar panel: 555 watts / $166,000 ≈ 0.0033 watts per dollar 600-watt solar panel: 600 watts / $202,000 ≈ 0.0029 watts per dollar 670-watt solar panel: 670 watts / $224,000 ≈ 0.0030 watts per dollar Comparing the ratios, the 555-watt solar panel offers the highest ratio of watts to dollars, indicating that it provides the most wattage for the money. Substitute dollars for Naira Add the cost of freight to the cost of the panel for a more accurate figure 2 Likes |

gbadexy: Guy is legit into financial trouble. He has offered his laptop for sale and has sold his phone on clearance threads on this forum. I hope he recovers and clears his name. We have our differences but he doesn't seem like someone out to defraud. I could be wrong! 3 Likes |

Please what is the going rate for tiling? If you have used any tiler here that did an exquisite and tasteful job. Please kindly share recommendations? Thanks. Someone mentioned 700 per square meters. Is that a reasonable figure? |

Is it really true that there is a fake and a genuine polysterene board for ceiling works? Was about to conclude a purchase and delivery contract sight unseen. But my installer said nope. We need to see and be sure we are buying right. So I hesitated abit. Is his position tenable? |

Smartwoods:October 2023. Running a 2hp AC on it during blackouts no issues. Running a 575L fridge no issues. Pumping water with a 1hp submersible no issues. Good buy 1 Like |

MeineMutter: Everything you said is true. Everything is wrong with the construction industry in Nigeria. If you want to be sure you aren't cheated buy cement from the factory in trucks. Some sellers rebag the cement and reduce it to 45kg. 9 inch block is now 8 inches. Nails and screws are fake. I bought a packet of screws and decided to count them. I saw 350 from a packet that is supposed to contain 500. I cannot remember how many times I have had to change supposedly new door lock engines. Just before the dollar left the 900 territory for good I imported all the screws I was going to use for my kitchen cabinet construction. After reading everything you have read last night I am also going to import door locks so I can have peace of mind. You can't find low VOC adhesive in the local market. At least I can't find. Still relying on the stash I got from Shoprite before they shuttered their handyman section. Like you observed if you really want quality import every consumable you need for your construction. I'm so scared that I go to only companies with the authorized reseller tag to buy cables, even if the price is the same with MSRP or lower I can't buy cables from the market cause I cannot be sure it is not a clever copy. Same for all my other electricals. 2 Likes

samir101ng: I am not. Will send you an email. I wanted to get Canadian Solar. But the cost per watt isn't making sense after adding up the cost of transportation. I will have to stick to those already in Abuja so I can bring the cost per watt into reasonable territory. |

earthrealm: My bad. I now know better it was a factor of the kind of cable that came with my inverter and my not knowing better at the time. |
