HeavenlyBang:
50A there isn't input current, though. It's recommended charge current of the battery. Ergo 0.5c. Half of the 100aH capacity. They're effectively just telling you to limit charging current to 50A for battery longevity. Has nothing to do with current from PVs.

Thanks.

na to series all the panels be that

Ferdiwar:
The MPPT charge controller will convert the excess voltage to current which is one of the advantages of MPPT charge controllers.

From the spec sheet you attached, the input current of the charge controller is about 11A so series connection is your best bet.

Thanks, I appreciate the input

Ferdiwar:
Connect all the panels in series

The 6mm cable is ok for the series connection as the current of the panels will remain constant.

But that won't produce enough current to charge the battery properly. Remember the recommended charge current in the datasheet is 50A. One panel produces a max current of 13.4A.

Hello guys please I need advise.

I have a 5kwhr/5kva LiPO4 system(Inverter/charge controller/Battery) in a unit.

I purchased 6 units of 650w Sunter Bifacial panels. I posted the specs of the panel and my inverter system. Please what connection is best factoring in the specs of the system.

I already purchased a 6mm2 DC cable and AC/DC breaker. I want to also know if that cable size is sufficient as the recommended charge current for the system is 50A, max 100A.

I intend running a refrigerator and one 1.5HP AC

NB
========================
I intend to Add 2 more units of same panels in 3 months

What's the mileage?

Very sad.......I never knew Ak rounds could bring down such massive choppers.
I used to think the underbelly comes armoured and can withstand such.
I really really detest rotor crafts.....they are like the okadas of the sky.
Very unpredictable.......RIP to the dead.

AK didn't bring the chopper down because at 5000ft in which the aircraft was flying is almost impossible for AK 47 to bring it down prolly a GPMG.. It's not even yet certain that it was shot down by bandits ignore the propaganda video from Dogo Gide and co for now.

Overall the incident is very unfortunate but truth is that one can't run away from Aviation mishaps once in a while especially when flying sorties on a steady. You can follow everything in the books, cross all Is and Ts and still suffer air mishap.

Meanwhile another Thread is going on. https://www.nairaland.com/6551786/tek-experts-nigeria-discuss-horrible#120885913

u guys who worked there pls tell us the experience, if it's myth or real. you could save a sister from going through the same mistake 🙏

My test is tomorrow, am a little bit weak from all have read online, no good story so far, not one .

Only accept Tek experts as a last resort of desperation.
The environment is extremely toxic, majority of their Engineers are going through depression due to unfavorable working conditions, and very very poor runumeration. Nobody that has ever worked there have any good thing to say about that slave camp. If Nigeria is a society where regulatory institutions work, that place ought to be shutdown.
All the most experienced engineers has left due to the wickedness of the management.
Let me tell you something they have forced their engineers to work from home with next to nothing for compensation, meaning they expect their engineers to generate their own power and provide their own internet while on official duties during the elections if you complain you will be booked fir unpaid leave. That place is freaking hell
Only go there to get training on cloud solutions then move on. With the hundreds of millions of dollars they generate every month they pay their engineers as little as 90k to 140k per month while other Microsoft partners doing same job as TEK pay their engineers as much $22 per closed ticket in a month one can earn as much as N1.2m but the slave factory (Tek) will give you a tenth of that.

Hallenvator:
Why this hatred and bitterness against someone that genuinely provided a good information which atleast on two occasions were absolutely corecct. You must be a product of hate for you to display irresponsible sense in public glare. Musa is absolutely right, keep displaying your stupidity, we are watchin you.

The boy is an immature kid.
I bet you if you match him pound for pound with "Musa" intellectually and in all ramifications he will fissile out like a tissue paper soaked in water. Poorly bred kid that gets aroused with peanuts that's how you get to know low-lifers...

parkervero:
You've displayed immaturity with this response, really.
I know you've got connections ( you be Hausa na) I didn't dispute that. I was more concerned about the said date you stated earlier. There was no disparage in what I have said.

But seriously, you people truly own Nigeria.

You people must bring tribalism into everything..
Them swear for una? God forbid..

FluxEmpire:
Deal...you can come for it at 100k, Sir.

Ok

I will pay 100k... Deal?

odimbannamdi:
Again, you failed to point out the lie I told. You just ended up bantering needlessly.

The question he asked is a rhetorical question. Everybody knows that a typical government job is pensionable, let alone our father's Army job. If anything, I am sure I responded to the guy's question humorously, and even provided him with a glimpse of how his life in the Army could be.

I pity whoever joins the Army for the "benefit" because no financial emolument will ever be worth a job where the risk of your losing your life is high. The Army is not lucrative at all, and financial rewards is a wrong mentality to use in joining the Army. You will get frustrated.

By the way, could you stop using the exclamation marks and capital letters, you come off like you are yelling and being rude.

Thanks.

People don't know what they are getting themselves into. When they finally join the army they will realise that it is not as financially rewarding compared to the risk they face everyday, yes you will be Ok financially but.............
Again some gov't MDAs are even more financially rewarding than the army, NN & NAF is even better only those that have real passion for the job, I mean undying passion for army will be able to withstand the pressure, uncertainty etc alot have retired as Captains and Majors even as Lts for various reasons. Now you must serve a minimum of 15yrs to be pensionable it used to be 10yrs. Army discovered that many officers especially short service guys were targeting that 10year mark to retire and move on with other things while enjoying pension. Only female officers are finding it soft in this job, even Chaplains, Doctors are seen in the frontlines.

Musty4ahmed1:
You are a born Ingrate, you have never appreciated anything in your life.

Appreciate that he is getting paid for work done after 2+ months of working w/o pay? You people deserve the kind of leaders you get.
As if the people in gov't are paying from their own purse.

scotcee:
Someone asked if they will be anything like allowance or stipends during the training no one answered also for the grade 6 and below we still don't have an idea of how much salary we are to receive. Pls all this are vital information we could use to plan our lives . Peace

Unless your mind no dey the job.. Stipends or allowance should be the least of your concern to be honest. The priority should be going for the training and passing out successfully, in camp you will be fed 3x daily, go with as much cash as you have if you're waiting for stipends you will disappointed because it won't take you anywhere that's if you are lucky they even pay it.

Macbenb13:
If na Army work no State go care to verify the State/LGA person come from, as na organization wey everybody get interest unnecessary invites just dey fly up and down after NCS don share APL. Shameless individuals!!!

Bauchi state and some northern states are notorious for this, they'll check they did it in the last army enlistment and have always done it. Only southern states don't give a damn about such things

Roan77:
It's a known fact that America has more war crimes and human rights issues than Nigeria, but Nigerians will not let us hear word, with the constant cry of human rights.

On their own citizens as is the case with Nigeria?

GabrielYulaw:
$800 million no be beans. If we are so intent on buying American equipment that will come with pre-conditions as to their use, at least let's buy good stuff like the Apache. The AH64D is $50-60 million apiece if I remember correctly and is far superior to that viper or green centipede you are talking about.
That $800 million fit buy 150-200 AH-6 Little Bird choppers, with enough left over to buy a couple hundred Chinese or Turkish drones equipped for surveillance purposes and enough left over to pay Russia to turn 100-200 of their T-72s into heavy IFVs that will send the Boko boys running.

Americans will never sell the Apache helicopter to a country like Nigeria with hoardes of records of human rights abuses at best getting that equipment is wishful thinking until the military work on their professionalism.

DubaiLandLord1:
“Government condemns the murder of a soldier by the so called unknown gunmen. Certainly, this soldier who was on a legitimate duty to ensure free flow of traffic and to protect lives and property on this fafeful Monday of November 22nd, did not deserve to die such a gruesome death. “On the other hand, Government deprecates reports of wanton destruction of property visited on the community by aggrieved soldiers. The indiscriminate burning of residential and businesses premises of innocent citizens was not an appropriate response since two wrongs will never make a right. Government has good reasons to believe that there is more to the sad event than meets the eyes.

The Nigerian Army needs to start operating like a Professional Army, operating like this have never sent any message to any group. It just leads to more violence which might consume Nigeria on the long run.

When person talk the truth say Nigeria Army operate like Boko Haram, people go dey wail.

I'm waiting for the military denial of this.

They have since released a statement to that effect and characteristic of them denied that they were behind the destruction and mayhem.

Bots, he’s using bots to like his posts, you can’t find 20+ real accounts viewing this thread at this time of the day.

The guy isn't even wise he is making obvious. He mentioned me at 4:27am and before 4:32 werey don trigger BOTs to like his comments. .. when people viewing the thread weren't more than four.

AskiaHarem:
Nothing you can't compensate fictional people or the families of victims from an unrelated incident.

How stressful it is to make a post and in quick succession use multiple accounts and bots to validate your poor soul...
JJphilips stop disguising.
This thing called truth has a way of rattling the guilty.

Litmus:
In nations abroad, since events of the Occasion is of such National significance, and if it attained international interest as Lekki did, organisers of the event would want to ensure that victims receive recognition for their sacrifices and enduring remembrance. Towards this end, there would be photos of all the victims named collected and published where possible and shown on Television. Their photos would be printed on large cards to be raised at planed candle lit vigil. Family members willing would be interviewed. Then at some point in future, relevant parties (e.g DJ whats-her-name, protest organizers, sorowo etc) would organise fundraising events to help the families financially and as a mark of respect and gratitude.

Dragging Nigeria forward require everyone playing their part, the onus shouldn’t just rest alone on highlighting deficiencies in the paramilitary and political system. Organisers of the Lekki protest now need to go further than just exposing guilty parties, they need to also demonstrate - in how they honor those killed - what the civilised and responsible society they want resembles. I would argue that in many ways this is more important than Proving the brutality and human rights abuses of the police and military.

All these you said is good but it's very important we first of all recognise that a wrong was done,next is for punishment to be meted out to culprits after which compensation will follow suit all these can't be achieved when the perpetrators are hunting down and victimising those that are trying to cry for justice.

BlackBaron:
'Flat earth' propagators Don go sleep abi?

They're all burying their heads in shame most of them are viewing the thread.
Those officers identified should be dismissed and jailed together with however have them that order. if not they will make the NA a pariah organisation globally and with a little lobbying in the international scene by NGOs, civil society organisations heavy sanctions will follow from the global community. Evil must be purged out and it's our collective duty as responsible citizens to make the military better.

DubaiLandLord1:
According to the following excerpt from the report of the Lagos #EndSARS Judicial panel, the Lekki Shooting of October, 20, 2020 was a massacre.

Whether there was a massacre at Lekki Tollgate on October 20, 2020.

The atrocious maiming and killing of unarmed, helpless and unresisting protesters, while sitting on the floor and waving their Nigerian flags, while singing the national anthem can be equated to a 'massacre' in context.

"A massacre has been defined as the killing of multiple individuals, which is considered to be morally unacceptable, especially when perpetrated by political actors against defenceless victims" - Wikipedia

The panel considered whether what took place at the Lekki Tollgate on the 20th October, 2020 was a MASSACRE. According to the learned authors of Miriam-Webster online dictionary, one of the meanings of massacre is "the act or instance of killing a number of usually helpless or unresisting human beings under circumstances of atrocity or cruelty.

Tomorrow servicemen will be wondering why nobody give a hoot when terrorists kill or maim them. Nigeria may be the only country that citizens have zero respect for their servicemen because of the atrocities and human rights violations by people that ought to defend them.

Lagos panel has just submitted a comprehensive report on the Lekki incident and even included names of the casualties but an unfortunate individual came here to gaslight his fellow zombies. The evil that will befall those propagandists that denied and purposely churned out falsehood to spite the dead will be worst than those that perpetrated the actual killings.
In the long run, the most unpleasant truth is a safer companion than a pleasant falsehood -Theodore Roosevelt
AskiaHarem shame on you, trust me Karma will dish out justice to you sooner than expected.

AskiaHarem:
Ah yes the good old Lekki Toll Gate Massacre where despite being a massacre no footage exists of the assault, no bodies have been recovered, photos showing bodies have been proven fake with some literally being from movies, the people that supposedly died are undocumented, and the only hospitalized individual with flesh wounds was caught robbing the hospital he was sent to.......

Many of the people reported to have been killed in the Lekki Protest have since come out to debunk such reports.

A Nollywood movie star Eniola Badmus, who was allegedly shot in the stomach and died at the Lekki Toll Gate has denied the social media reports. Posting on her Instagram, Eniola wrote “Against all speculations about me being shot or dead at the unspeakable incident that happened at the toll gate a few hours ago, I would like to inform you guys that I Eniola Badmus is hale and hearty. I couldn’t make it there today to lend my voice on the #endsars movement.”

Solacebase reports that there was also a video of one Lucy Adu who was celebrated as a martyr at LekkiMasacre after dancing in the clip. Some of the social media posts celebrating her ‘martyrdom’ read: ”She was dancing an hour before she was murdered by the Nigerian armed forces Lucy was her name Pensive face#endsars – a bullet hit her in the face and ripped half her face off.”

Latest investigation shows that Lucia Adu died from an accident with a stationary truck on 20th October 2020. Her death was not from a gunshot by anyone. This is also confirmed by a new fact-checking Twitter handle on EndSARS https://twitter.com/EndSARSFctCheck

Meanwhile, PRNigeria Editorial team could not get authenticated footages of the bullet-ridden bodies from the alleged LekkiMassacre from credible media sources and EndSARS activists. Yet, two days after the alleged LekkiMassacre, no single family member has reported to security agencies or the media of the death of their loved ones in the incident.

Checks by PRNigeria revealed that not even a single protester allegedly killed during the Lekki incident was reported, even as no single corpse of the massacred protesters was taken to any hospital in the state, as of Wednesday night.

Various stagged photos and screenshot from local movies used as the only evidence for the massacre.

If truly people died from Lekki incident from the shells of security agents may you never eat the good of the land and may your expectations be cut short in the most horrific manner and if what we all watched Live on Instagram is actually a green screen as most of you alleged same fate should befall me.
Never in my life have I seen a mischievously dishonest set of people before despite various eye witness account of what happened that day even from doctors who treated people for free at reddington hospital.
Is it not in this same country the residence of a Supreme court Judge was raided and under siege for over 2 hours by security agents across board only for them to all deny being at the said house of the Judge something that we all saw on national TV. Nigeria will soon happen to you, continue.

GabrielYulaw:
The last 3 pages or so were quite exciting.
Now, I gotta say my mind.

The problem of the NA is not money. Even if Elon Musk heard Odumeje preaching tomorrow, got born again and decided to donate all his billions to the NA, virtually nothing will change. You could dash them a thousand T-90s and add a hundred Blackjack strategic bombers to the mix, plus rail guns and TOPOL missiles and still nothing serious will change.

The NA as it is set up is as intrinsically dysfunctional as a 3-legged crab addicted to meth and formalin-soaked PCP. It's main problems are corruption, incompetence, near-total indifference to human rights and inability to change and these problems are what defines it.

They are still doing the same things they were doing when this insurgency began and if you question them they will say you don't love your country and don't appreciate the sacrifices of our darling troops. They are still robbing this country blind in the creeks, on the highways, at the ports and during equipment acquisitions and if you question them their friends on this platform will say you don't love your country because you are Igbo and because you are not eating with them.

I still remember the case of that general whose men took the hundreds of millions of Naira they were supposed to deliver somewhere and ran. Has the money fountain been closed or are there still convoys moving ill-gotten gains made by NA top staff from place to place that we don't know about?

The indifference to human rights I was talking about fundamentally weakens the NA and deprives it of local support. Remember that video of the last two weeks where they were filmed firing GMPG at houses in Enugu. Well, that was my village and within stone throw of my hamlet.

They killed someone that I know about and possibly others I do not know about. But of course they will deny if asked, just like they deny every negative thing. And after stuff like this if my village youths decided to join IPOB or other secessionist groups en masse I no go blame them. Same way, if after the IDPs raped and molested in refugee camps across the country decide to join Boko Haram tomorrow I no go blame them.

Yeah, in most cases, this gross disrespect for human rights by the NA triggers more problems than it solves and they do not seem to know that or care. They have been killing us at will, acting like fashion police, oppressing us all they like and still expect us to love them. Like how?


And those of you saying we should invite ECOWAS troops to help us out are just being naïve. This war we are fighting is above all things a political war. The enemy has sympathizers, apologists and collaborators in the highest reaches of this government and its agencies and within the army itself. Read David Hundeyin's expose and see what I'm talking about. So, why would a government filled with jihad-loving individuals invite foreign troops to help them fight other jihad-loving individuals?

Let's face it, if this government is actually serious about wiping out ISWA and the Boko boys once and for all, it can do that and within a year max. It doesn't though and if you can't see that then you are as blind as a bat that has been used for r1tuals

And that's Nigeria for you

One in house intelligence werey said that video was nowhere near the Southeast even when it is obvious from the vegetation and the way firewoods where stacked up is typical of of people residing in villages in the east.. What do we know you are not Patriotic na..
That Lekki incident was the breaking point for me how people still deny the obvious, incidentally I was at the DHQ a day after the incident I remembered how a lady a (naval Commander) was so bitter and was even verbally insulting an army Captain in her office for making disparaging comments on the protesters, emotions were high, even within the army many were sad at the turn of events but some trolls who only know about the military from blogs/media will be defending rubbish. That day I learnt alot of things, and I don't blanketly insult or curse the entire military they have lots of good conscientious officers within their folds unfortunately the bad ones are the loudest.

komekn:
In my opinion the very FIRST CASUALTY of WAR is the TRUTH.

As it concerns propaganda l really don't know who's propaganda to believe because they all LIE.

We have no independent news media they simply don't report mainly because of government restrictions on media in that area.

The NA have shown over the years that they are capable of of telling bare faced Lies. The End SARS protests and the shootings at Lekki toll gate come to mind.

So would you believe everything the NA say ?

People that denied that viral video of soldiers shooting into a civilian home and later said they'll investigate the video have you people heard anything from them since then? We hate telling ourselves the truth in this country untill it boomerangs and we fall victim of what we defend. That won't stop us to continue praying for the men and women of the armed forces and rallying support for them.
The General that was unfortunately killed in action died as a result of ambush from an IED laden vehicle followed by rapid fire from the enemy, he was moving in a gun truck aggressively to the objective when tragedy struck; if we query the continuous use of Toyota pickup military tacticians that haven't crossed Abuja will say people are being irrational & emotional. I knew how vulnerable I felt inside an APC during a visit to one of the sacked villages in Zamfara; now think about those soldiers that helplessly sit-down like sheep's waiting to be slaughtered in an open roof guntruck we forget these are people's loved ones.

ugo4u:
Omo I watched the unfortunate video of soldiers firing GPMG into what appears to be a civilian settlement and the idiots recorded themselves worst of it all they were chanting slurs in Hausa language thus creating room for perfect propaganda material for separatists to use. The rank and file of the l army are another breed entirely, I pray the authorities don't worsen the situation by coming out to deny it because that video obviously wasn't doctored the culprits should be used to set example if not they'll grant legitimacy to IPOB and if we can't win the hearts of the ordinary man on the streets, it's pointless fighting a war that the enemies have support from the locals.

The army will always find a way to disgrace themselves and the people that try to defend them, I see you're trying to be nice but as usual they'll put you to shame by their actions.

DubaiLandLord1:
This country dey always funny me

US soldiers don't go on the kind of rampage the Nigerian army dey go into.

Nigerian army go kill your people, pack their dead body go and burn houses and other properties and tell you dey didn't do it

All this kin things go just dey provoke people the more.

But well sha, make we dey look

Nah person wey e touch dey know for body sha.

What I tell some of these funny folks that defend the rascality of the military is that they should go and read The Posse Comitatus Act ; little wonder when Nigerian soldiers die in battle Nigerians don't bat an eyelid compared to the respect accorded the military in the US and other countries. Fela rightly called them Zombies and till date they keep justifying that statement it's unfortunate.
The entire security agencies in Nigeria needs serious reorientation infact recruits/enlisted soldiers should be mandated to go for a 1 year compulsory course on human rights and allied matters before they even begin basic military course.
