You don't have Kuda?

HeavenlyBang:


Why not.

Not sure I'd buy a Powmr inverter, though. Reviews aren't stellar.

Someone said it’s not meant for our weather

Can foreign Inverters work in Nigeria? Those sold on Amazon

Like this one https://www.amazon.com/PowMr-Inverter-220-230V-Controller-LiFePO4/dp/B0CGMKK354/

Leemekzy:


Have you contacted them?

They said they are occupied with orders, these guys labelled that item EXPRESS SHIPPING, collect 1k5 and are sending it as FREE SHIPPING.
Something I ordered from Abuja has arrived PH, but Lagos own its still in transit

My pray is, its better be a new, functional item

Jumia is still yet to deliver

makjo900:
How did those that ordered on jumia and konga or third party in general get their log in details ?

Starlink.com/activate and congrats on your package. Did you buy from Jumia or Konga?

jonescosmos:


Any Good 3KW 24V Voltronic Based Inverter within your budget will be ok. Felicity, SAKO, SNRE, MUST, Ipower, etc, If you can up your Budget a little, Go for Growatt.

Thanks, growatt I saw is the 5kva and way above my budget

microgiant:


You are on the right path.

Buy inverter first, then Panels and Batteries last.

Experts on this thread have a unique way of answering questions, which seems odd to me.

Thanks, which inverter brand do you recommend for a budget of 350 to 400k?

jonescosmos:


Buy them in this order: Inverter>Battery>Panels.

Reason: Inverter has a long shelf life, Batteries has a short shelf life, Keep them too long, they would sulphate or discharge beyond DOD, Panels will be exposed to breakage and other risks when you stock them.

Secondly, you can start using your Inverter & Battery when you grab the batteries and add Panels later.

Third is that the price fluctuations affects Inverters and Batteries more than Panels.

I hope this helps

Thanks, which inverter brand do you recommend for a budget of 350 to 400k?

HeavenlyBang:


Start with knowing your peak typical load so you know what inverter to buy
Then calculate how much storage you need for your load at night (I'd recommend night load * 15h to know the battery size you need)
Then I'd say divide your battery size by 2 to know the panel output you need, so you can essentially have a full charge by 1pm on average days.

I won’t power the whole house, just some essentials, I do that tomorrow

Good evening, please I want to start buying materials and keeping them instead of waiting to do it all at once.

Which should I buy first? I was thinking of the growatt SPF ES5000, then panels and batteries.

Which type of panels should I get and battery type too.

Any other recommendations are welcome, especially ways or materials that will not cost me a lot but still be able to work

Thanks

I got my starlink from Konga yesterday, I wanted to order online, but when I saw that I could pickup from their retail store, I just called the phone listed at the pickup center in computer village and the guy said I could walk in,make payment and pickup my device instantly. Which was what I did.

I'm yet to activate, because of card issues I'll try to see if I can get a new GTB MasterCard to activate it on Monday, since someone said it worked, although I've tried my GTb and kuda, it keeps failing.

Meanwhile, here's what I've noticed, for environment like Ikeja, surulere lekki, etc.. I don't think the Residential service plan is available again for now, while I was trying to activate for my location, Roam service plan was the only plan available to me at 49k/Mo, although I was looking forward to getting the residential plan.

I guess Starlink has figured that people on the mainland have bought these devices in bulk, activate them for Residential Service plan and then resell at a higher price.

Except you're in those remote locations like badagry and co, if you're activating a new device in Lagos mainland and environ, you may only have access to the roam plan.

Make sure your name is the way it is on the card... Konga was even offering same day delivery in PH, I ignored and went with Jumia yet to ship since Friday morning

Jumia is still yet to ship since Friday, and it was express o.. i was charged 1k+ for shipping

24 and she is already teaching... if na Nigeria now she go still dey wait for JAMB

Before you get your refund, this starlink discount go don over. The discount is ending today in Europe and on the 15th in Keyan. I don’t know which day our naija own ending.
While awaiting your refund, if you get extra money now, just order from jumia. Me I already ordered on jumia last weekend

And once the discount over on starlink website, jumia will immediately update their price too. Our naija gadget vendors go carry their own price go over a million plus. Na you go con dey at lost

If you ordered last weekend that means you have received it then… how is it?

Yes, I know, working on it.

did anyone here order from Jumia?

BadMaster:

Starlink refund is instant. The delay in your fund reflecting in your account is from your financial institution. I know this because I have done RMA(Return Merchandise Authorization) twice for Starlink kit and refunded instantly. I have also cancelled a deposit for kit and got refunded instantly. If your bank is effective, it shouldn't take more than a business day.

By the way, why is your total refund #500,700?

I added ethernet cable o, I don't know if that was one of the reason, I used kudabank to pay not sure how long they use... I should have done this refund yesterday, at least I will be sure by latest tomorrow I have received it, madam no gree had to try again today.

PotatoSalad:
What is this? 🤔

maybe there is now a cap somewhere which you will jump the line if you pay certain amount

BadMaster:

I don't think you can cancel once the order has been updated with an estimated delivery time.

I have cancelled it. But 15 business days? na wa o

BadMaster:

Once you receive the kit, activate it at starlink.com/activate

Alright, so they sell and Starlink handles everything including replacements.

Staff is yet to reply and I don’t see where to cancel

BadMaster:

There's no direct link to the retailer page. Visit the above support page you pasted up there. In the search bar to the left, type Jumia or Konga, then search. You will see all the retailers listed. Now, click on any of them to take you to their page.

So if I get from them everything else like service address will be on starlink.com, I just hope na new one dem dey sell sha

Ayomipoe:
Ah! We are in the same shoes. Or formerly in the same shoes lool.
Airtel does not work anytime after 6pm, what I realized was that there is a correlation between when people are at home and the network speeds.

I kept running into issues where I would have download speeds of 14KBps, and their support would tell me to restart my router. I fled for my life.

That is what I face o, even video the one mark don compress sef dey hang... i can't even enjoy the IPTV

BadMaster:

Jumia and Konga are both listed under Authorized commercial retailers, not distributors, that's why you didn't find them on the distributors list.

Link please, make I should cancel and order from them, the problem now is refund may not come quick. This one is showing something else https://support.starlink.com/?topic=9b7746f8-e2ee-0fd4-7ffb-3bbe0ab35cbc

Ayomipoe:
It won't take that long. Ma 4.
And I think your fears are valid. People are having issues adding their cards to it.

I don contact support sha, make I hear wetin dem go talk... may 23 to 29? Once it gets to 8PM my MTN which is not even usable before gets worse
