Hello house. I'm about to order a panel from jumia( lower delivery fee, compared to 5k from other nairaland sellers). How can I tell if this panel is truly 150w once I take delivery of the product?

- Check the reviews first, if it is a dubious seller, you will likely read bad reviews of previous buyer of the same product

- Lay it flat on the ground, on a clear, sunny day (insulate the leads to avoid a shock), use a meter to check the current produced.
- Multiply the current by 12v, to get the Power it produces (P = IxV).

That should give you a very rough and close Power estimate of the Panel. (less very small power loss and panel inefficiency).
Most Chinese Sellers as not as bad as their Nigerian Version, though a small fraction of them are a replica of Alaba Baranda boys.

get a pylontech lithium ion battery. compactible with growatt.

He asked you to help in making a choice, between TWO CHOICES, you now left those two and introduced a THIRD CHOICE!
Haaba, which kain Alaba style be that?
Even Gurus like @Niyi have left Pylontech behind.

Am so quiet and observing the foolishness of southwest media in an already failed attempt to market the unmarketable .. look at the pics with Masari .. the governor no smile ..
Nigerians knows the truth and no sensible Nigerian even the insane ones won’t vote any Yoruba human

2023 is here already

The louder the noise .. the louder the failure..
Tinubu in katsina and everywhere is silent

Lol

Outside the SW, l will vote Kingsley Moghalu and in the North, l will vote Gov Prof Zulum, as well.[/b]

What about you?

I read somewhere on this thread, where someone here bought a Ready-Assembled liFePo4 battery from a Company around Lekki/Epe (Lagos) axis.
I cant locate the Post any more but l want to contact the company because l want to replace my AGM batteries with LiFePo4 batteries.
Can anyone help with information on that post or the company involved, please.

Thanks

It has become an allcomers affair.
God help him

Make I check whether them no go divorce after 3 months

I just hate to see a Man kneeling down
If l deserve it, just give it to me without all the drama and dehumanisation that goes with kneeling down to beg for it.

BTW: if it gives anyone any comfort, l have been married for over ten years

Am not aware of a 380 or 480ah capacity...there is 300ah, 320ah and I think I have read it 1000ah as well

There are, Sir.
I have seen those Values advertised on some sites

[color=royalblue] Buhari's rail construction seems to be the solution to all our problems.

When faced with insecurity, they will remind us he built rails

When faced with lack of jobs, they will talk about rails

When faced with poverty, they would find a way to smuggle the rail inside


I just don't understand

It is the Rail that is causing all those problems, including the exorbitant price of Rice and Beans!

Valto:
i don't believe u are that serious. and have not reached out via WhatsApp for days now. however the group buy is all but concluded, but u can stil gatecrash, if u are fast enough. (note, it takes 3 to 5months to arrive). At the present air frieght rates, u might end spending close to the amount u bought the cells. btw, there is 16pcs brand new cells available for sale at a very affordable price.

I am also worried by the 3-5Months timeline, that one really shook my liver,

I will reach out to you this morning Sir, concerning the 16cells.
My apologies and appreciation at the same time.

ojeysky:
How many do you need? I still have 4 units of brand new 280ah Eve cells available for 80k each

I will need about 16 - 32 Units of between 380Ah and 480Ah to fully fulfil my needs Sir.

Thank you for this offer, l really appreciate.

earthrealm:
Airfreight for cells is a hit or miss, worked for someone and received cells within 2wks while the it took about about 6wks, as shipper encountered problems and had to reroute tru honkong.

You are better off buying cells from trusted people in nigeria, as cost of airfreight will gravitate towards same amount at the end.

Valto should be able to guide/fix you up.
If u move quickly, you may be able to latch onto the groupbuy, 3 to 6months is the freight time

Thank you so much Sir..
If l may ask, can you recommend someone trustworthy that sells New Cells in Nigeria?
Do you know any freight forwarder who can do it by air, if that is an option l have to take?
God bless.


Oga Valto, please fix me Up o, l take God beg you, before my Kidney bake finish in this heat.

Valto:
yes u can buy the quantity u need individually and get it shipped to Nigeria.
shipping lithium is very sensitive, only few shipping company accepts it.it takes approximately 4months . u can buy at your own time. feel free to WhatsApp me for more details. cheers.

Thank you very much Sir, for your input, l really appreciate you.
I am also hoping other gurus in the House will contribute more suggestions for me.

Can l ask: Do you have an idea of how much it may cost me to get it down and cleared in Nigeria (if you have done something like that in the past or have knowledge of how it is done?
Do you know anyone who is about Shipping to Nigeria, who l can partner with, to reduce cost (I am thinking there are people here who are currently or about to buy RE things from China, as we speak).

Is there no other way of getting this Cells down here, without Waiting for 4Months?
I cant remember where l read on this thread, that though such Materials are rarely shipped by Air but that they do Ship them by Air, after paying some amounts to the Airline/Agents (Na WeeWee )

Good and Experienced Men of this thread,

I made the below Post because l was hoping that there are people here, like me, who want to use LiefEPo4 Cells/Batteries for their Solar setup.
I have read somewhere on this thread, where a few people came together to import a Pallet of the Cells and l think that is a wonderful way of reducing Cost. That is my objective, for making the post.
The post received 6likes but No Single response, so l am wondering what l have done/said wrong.
I am hoping l can get something quick for next month but dont want to buy ready-made ones.
Maybe its is because it is a newly registered use that l am or probably because l mentioned that "l dont mind using my account"?
Yes, l have a foreign bank Account for some years now from which l can pay from but l dont mind paying from my Naira account as well and we can also do it from any members account.
All l want is just how to get the Cells from China, at a cheaper rate, especially Shipping and Clearing, which are not things l am very familiar with.
Light in my area has become unbearable and l have kids that are suffering from the heat. Going out at night to fuel/off generator, not to mention the noise, is affecting my sleep as well.
Biiko, make una help a Brother

Please,

and many more Gurus whose username l cant remember off-hand, make una help una boy o! Me too, l want to enjoy this Sun Power as you are all doing.
Last Option : is there a way l can buy just what l need (if l dont get others who need it to come forward) and get it down to Nigeria within like 4weeks, at a very reasonable Shipping and Clearing Cost? Who has experience in this? Who is buying something from China right now and can add my Cells to his package and ship down and clear it for me?
I am ready to go and it is very frustrating that l cant make a way forward.
Please help. if anyone has any question, l am ready to answer it.

Thanks

Good morning Elders of this House.
I have been a silent observer here but l have been reading and reading all the wonderful contributions of the Pioneers of this thread and l have always been wowed. You have all taken what was just a hobby into another level and helped others to benefit from it.
After reading so many wonderful things here, la m convinced l will get the needed help from the good people on this thread.

I want to also benefit from Solar Power so l can run my household on Solar.
My observation is that Batteries are a huge draw back of most system l have read about here and so far, most elders have been recommending LifeP04 Cells. I checked around and cant find the Cells to buy except on websites like AliExpress.

But the Cost of Shipping, Clearing and buying in Small Units does not make it economical for an individual.
I have also read where a few people came together to buy a Pallet or Two or three and Ship together, which l think is a wonderful synergy and a show of the level of trust among these people. And l commend the initiator.

My Questions:
Are there people out there like me, who still want to buy LiFeP04 Cells RIGHT NOW?
Can we pull resources together and buy/import from China, like a group did recently?
Can the former Group help us in this regard?

I want others to please contribute.
I dont mind using my account to pay for the Order (I dont have a forex limit on how much l can spend from my Account because it is in a foreign bank), once we work out the rates.

Please, l want this to work as l an envious, in a positive way, of what the other group did.

Right now, the Sun is just causing Heat for me and l want my own pound of flesh, by using it to work on my AC's

Thank you Sirs
