Index INVA Tubular Batteries
I use 12 x Quasar Tubular 220ahs but later migrated to 2 x 15KW And-one Lithium batteries. The Tubular batteries still serve as a backup as an isolated grid. Tubular can still give quality 5 plus years of service depending on usage.

Why I get your frustrations and to each its owns...yes, it can power iron, hot plates, air fryer. It depends on the capacity of what you invest in. It can power ACs (that is why we have inverter air conditioners). No one is advocating for anything for anyone.

If you can't pay the BAND A price, go fuel your stuff with either a petrol/diesel generator or use CNG generator. At least, the latter will minimise your cost. Why will it breakdown when it is what is built to last? It is like comparing apple products with Transsion. It depends on the quality you go for. Use it as prescribed by the witch doctor. E no cause fight.

No, this is not true, generator is not better economic-wise. I switched because of this last year when I calculated how much I spent on fuel and I can't even use it as I like. With the present cost of fuel, it is a no-go area. I use my solar power for more than 17 hours, but I can't try it with gen and not be in serious financial wahala.

I think I will have to rest here because I can see that you have not really been into solar stuff, and these statements of yours are unfounded. People use solar off-grid and have been like that for years. You may need to check the solar thread on NL and read all to get a better picture.

WARNING: When you taste it, you won't want to go back. It is addictive like a wet p**sy
Regarding your last statement. Dem no dey telli person. This is two years plus and everyday, I regret the money I spent fooling around with generator and giant powerbanks, rechargeable fans, and USB fans.

What are you people even saying?
Solar this,solar that,why can't solar advocates just tell people to get Solar without making childish and clearly false comparisons with National or state grid supply!
Can your solar,no matter the inverter grade iron your clothes,power your freezer,fridge,your electric hot plate daily without sufffering "convulsions" for a week,talkless a month?
Can it power your 2 or 3 ACs without breaking down,so what's this rubbish noise everytime to go for solar?
Can it pump your water borehole,which many houses use,daily for a month without breakdown?
Then this issue of battery.It's just like telling a car owner he would use the same battery fof his car without needing a change after 5 years at most.
Any electrical, mechanical component that uses battery must have that battery changed,no matter if its lead or the modern types because all battery types usually lose efficiency at a point in time,2- 5yrs,depending on usage.
Solar too is now very expensive,so its not like a common man facility you can instal with 100-500k.But with National grid,depending on the neighbourhood and level of development of an area,with 100-300k,in fees and development levy,you are already connected to your electric line power line.
Solar is only good as a backup for mainly light and low duty appliances and for limited hours in the day,otherwise,every month you would be crying and when you check your expenses to fix or replace one thing or the other,you find you are spending 3x what you should pay as electricity bill.
Even generator,asides the noise and need for fuelling,is far better economics wise than same power rating of solar installed.
Sometimes ehn, avoid talking about what you have limited knowledge on to avoid inadvertently deceiving the public.

Solar energy works exactly like any other power grid, be it electricity or fuel and diesel generator, the only difference is that it stores energy through battery.

You see that inverter, it has a very powerful coil like your diesel generator.

The higher the KVA, the bigger the coil, and so it's operation is also similar to your regular generator. Let's say you have a 10KVA generator, the maximum load you dare not exceed should be 6KVA .

For me, I seldom exceed 50% load unless the circumstances calls for it, and I run on 30KVA grid and since I started this journey of over 2 years, I can tell you it has been a maximum experience with zero issues and no parts replacement unlike your regular generator.

And I run my AC's, washing machines, electric cookers, pressing iron, fridge, all at once!!

Please leave this solar talk, I know an office that invested heavily in solar and it was largely unreliable for them, even tho they stay in a high irradiation area. We shouldn't be running away from the problem, but confronting it.

Will industries also run on solar? How can people be turning off light, fridge and ac because one greedy investor has bribed nerc to keep hiking tariff unnecessarily? So what will heavy duty industries now do? Is that not economic sabotage?

There's a reason why serious nations don't leave their critical infrastructure like energy, defence, etc in the hands of capitalist. You will kill your country.
I don't turn off anything in my house oo because I invested around 30m in solar. As for industries using heavy duty machineries, there is option of stacked grid that can conveniently power their machines without any issue. Things dey!

Since they wanted to increase tariff, I expected them to meter every 🏠 instead of going on estimated bill which the NERC has seriously warned them about. Pulling the cart before the horse copied from BAT syndrome

Alright your 1st paragraph might be correct.
But the second paragraph can only be believed by someone who doesn't use solar

I use solar, and I know that during the wet season, your solar cannot comfortably take you non stop for 3days. And please don't mention the capacity of inverter, most people install based on their required capacity. So if I install like 2 5kvA, I mean it cannot take my intended load for 2 days non stop

So solar is good, but solar is mostly a back up to power supply
Sorry, my 30KVA solar with 52 600w panels cannot be a backup.

GamingRe: Starlink Is A Scam by HIbreed(op): 1:46am On Jan 04, 2025
Thanks guys for letting me know that Starlink cannot meet my gaming needs as it's a satellite network. So, I made my research about Fiber optics and found that there are some few in my city and not as costly as Starlink and also not disrupted by weather etc. If I had known of these options, I woudn't even touch Starlink!! I will explore more and probably made a thread about the Fiber optics upon installation so that others can learn.

I play PUBG a lot with it and 135-185ms isn't healthy
I only win 1 in every 40 games using PS5 slim
I'm not sure if the Ethernet adapter option will help improve latency but I'm dropping starlink soon anyways
To tell you how ready I was, I ordered the ethernet adapter when ordering my Starlink kit. I was prepared, so you can imagine my dissapointment. I even got a gaming router which landed before more than a week before the Starlink grin

As at 2012, Hyperia was the closest I experienced to global broadband speeds. The person I video called frequently worked in their office so the connection was the highest grade available. Thirteen years later, I have no idea. You have to ask around. MTN is good, though. Ask if they have a premium service.

I use Tizeti. Sometimes the network can be extremely slow just like right now there's no coverage at all tonight. Sometimes better.

Tizeti isn't good for gaming either. I subscribe on my Airtel specifically for gaming purposes.

What do you use for gaming now, even Starlink coudn't deliver for me.

Mangonet is okay too, but starlink is the best.
I think this is a case of different strokes for different folks. Starlink serves your purpose of use but it fails woefully at mine. It promises high speed internet with low latency but when I put it to the test, I find that it is a scam even with my high speed gaming router.
GamingRe: Starlink Is A Scam by HIbreed(op): 8:47am On Jan 02, 2025

The solutions to your problem are japa or pay for more bandwidth with an ISP. For many people, Starlink meets their needs. What else do regular folks use internet for past downloading, online gaming and streaming? Businesses do video conference calls. I hear Starlink is unreliable for that. Another thing the service fails in is uploading data.
Japa was another option for me back then, but how can I japa as a single Dad of two boys 5, 3. Not handy for me because I don't fancy the idea of seperating with them . If I could get more bandwidth with faster network and low latency, I think that would do but the question is: Can our ISP provide that effectively?

Pls if you know how I can extend my startlink network signal 500 to 800 metres... Quote me
My Asus has a very good range but the range you are looking at can only be achieved with meshing. Some routers has the feature. To achieve that, try meshing three routers together and you could even get more than 800 meters in range.

Try playing Seasons on FIFA or Ultimate Team and see if you wouldn't reword your comment. A question you should ask yourself is why is Starlink with variedly incosistent speed. It will hit 300mbps just now and when you refresh in 0.5 seconds you get 15mbps and then hit up again, and down. Such abrupt fluctuation is only good for download and streaming. Bro, I have tested this thoroughly!!!

BTW, it's not from location, I do get speed of 200-400mbps with my Asus AX86 Pro (300$) which I specifically bought for gaming but it's still horrible. Starlink is only good for streaming. End of discussion.

GamingStarlink Is A Scam by HIbreed(op): 9:52pm On Jan 01, 2025
After more than a year of using Starlink, I can confidently say it has been a series of frustrating experiences. I originally purchased Starlink because I’m passionate about playing FIFA and wanted to take my skills to the next level by competing online.

I hoped that facing better players would help me improve and potentially monetize my gameplay in the future. However, buying Starlink has turned out to be a major regret.

The network’s lag and inconsistency are so bad that I can’t even finish a full match without the server awarding the win to my opponent due to connection issues. In comparison, MTN, on its good days, is far superior for online gaming because of its low latency.

Starlink, on the other hand, is incredibly unstable, with unpredictable speeds and very high ping, making it completely unsuitable for games that require quick responses.

Now, the only use I’ve found for Starlink is letting my kids stream YouTube on it. With their recent price increase, I’ve had enough—I’m ready to move on from this service.

If I were this man, I will do the following things.

1. I will get a strong lawyer like Femi Falana.

2. I will instruct him to draft a letter to the Equatorial Guinea government and demand an immediate apology from the president.

3. I will demand the government to write an apology in 10 different national newspapers.

4. I will request a full payment of 150 million dollars as compensation for the damage done to me and my family.

5. I will demand immediate arrest and prosecution of the security men who came to my house and discovered the tapes.

6. If my request is not met within 7 days, I will sue the government of Equatorial Guinea in the court of law and demand the following;

1. Payment of 1 billion dollars.

2. An apology letter signed by the president himself.

3. Naming one of the national Universities after me.

4. Employing five of my family members into different juicy national offices.

5. The same apology to those women whose faces appeared on those tapes.

The reasons I will do the above things are:

1. I never leaked any of the videos.

2. None of the women complained to anyone that I coerced her into doing anything with me.

3. None of the husbands of the women complained to any living soul.

4. All the women enjoyed themselves with me and no one was harmed in the process.

My 3 year old daughter, she would be 4 years old in Feb, is sharp and very bright.
It only happened occasionally that she would pee on herself. Usually when engrossed in cartoon.

However, it the last 4 weeks, it has become an everyday occurrence.
She would even poo on herself!

I've talked to her, yet no serious change. Please don't listen to any yeye advuce here. Leave your daughter, she will come good.
My 2.5 year old boy was like that, very weird! He would poo on himself mostly every night until we stopped late night feeding and it gradually stopped. Give your daughter time. Yes, cartoon do have influence, good and bad but don't reason it too much.
I just had a baby boy few weeks ago. Could this be responsible for the change in my daughter? If yes, how best can it be handled? It's already affecting her in school.
