Mrreed:
To use this simultaneously, it is better to replace your kitchen socket with a changeover or properly rated breaker. Otherwise, you might be replacing socket occasionally

It’s not a matter of “might”!he will definitely keep changing it

Ealiserwest:
Please who de sell panel. I need 550watt half cut

Available

twinskenny:
i think welion is no longer making inverters or they rebranded not sure

Hahaha Williion and sms exactly the same Board inside.

fuckboys:
he definitely has a problem, you people should stop typing rubbish with the frog knowledge that you have.

I still stand to be corrected that the best panels for me are 400-500w panels.

These are 4pcs of 400w panels at 11am.

If for 4pcs can do this, I'm sure as hell 6pcs will hit 2kw and above.

So stop saying rubbish that his setup doesn't have an issue.

You will just open your mouth wah and be vomiting rubbish, go and help him change the configuration if it gets to that 2kw I will give you 20k Naira. Nonsense.. bros abeg just go ahead and get good half cut panels don’t waist your time looking for solution to nothing

Bankyshinani:
Good afternoon everyone, please I need solution to this my little problem..I have 6 450w solar panels on my roof which consist of 3 halfcut and 3 straight panels. The highest I have got during the peak hours is 1.5kw buh I think I should be getting more.. I guess the straight cut solar panels are the ones restricting the performance of the halfcut ones buh I may be wrong?....
Please,gurus in the house kindly help out?

Don’t waist your money or time, in the first place you don’t have a problem not to talk of solution, even if you call installer to come and change the configuration it will be the same thing because that’s the way it is hehehe except you have money to upgrade the panels to much higher watts, longi 615watts or jinko 595watts upward. Good luck

chuxmgc:
Please house, how many amp should I be greeting from 2 300watts mono panel with pwm charge controller on a 12v battery system..
Cos I'm only getting 10amp at the peak of the sun, which I think it's too small

What you are seeing is absolutely normal and your panel I’m very sure they are not 300 but 180watts or 200watts

lovediehatelive:
I've joined the wire directly from the battery to the direct wire from solar panel without using charge controller but nothing came up.

Them just Dey advise you up and down but them nor tell you say that thing fit catch fire as a result of over charge or wrong polarity, you don’t even have a meter to know what you are doing, brother just look for who knows it and they will help you bring it back to life

Dabss:
are you using a 24v or a 48V system?

48v bro

Bryanluke:
which thread, why u dey always dey tackle me here, did you know what brought up the question at all

If the fan is not working you have ti check and make sure it’s working otherwise it will keep tripping and showing error code

Dabss:
please let us know if adding more panels improves your yeild. Alot of use are having similar issues. 🙏

Don’t be deceived.. me I use just 4 panels and get 2.3kwh at peak. My friend way Dey get 2.7 uncor for just 4 panels. We dey use original panels though not stickers

Hey Pals,
As you might know, soon WhatsApp is ending support for older devices, making the app incompatible with Android versions 5.0 and iPhones running iOS 12.5.7 and earlier from September 8, 2026.

Funny enough, I barely use smart phones and only retained one due to need to make calls and messages via whatsApp & teleGram. Those of us freelancers need cost effective means to communicate with foreign clients hence reason I kinda still bothered myself.

Yes I understand most of you would wonder how one could afford to live such kinda life BUT sometimes, you need wean yourSelf of certain things so you don't end up a prisoner like they want you to.

AnyWay sha, Currently using a used android device of over 5-years which still runs on android 5.1 and with this latest development, need to make the Switch soon to avoid distruptions.

Why am I bringing this here; well partly to notify those who sees me as ancient human + in case anyOne got a capable quality used device at Very pocket friendly price. For those with problematic devices, would suggest you don't waste ya time.

My kinda Devices:
The likes of Tecno, Gionee, inFInix, etc; and even Samsung + iPhone are a NO Go Area. I prefer Sony Xperia, Huawei, Motorola, Asus, Honor, LG, and onePlus/umidigi; and the order of preference is just as I listed them.

I prefer portable devices I could hold on my palm comfortably without tiring BUT at the right sweet price, that's just a soft preference.

Of course battery life should be excelent, or atleast good enough since it would be plugged-in 99.5% of the time. On transit, I rarely have a need to move with them.

Really not after fancy features so long performanceWise, it's fluid enough (not having 20GB ram but takes ages to swipe or open menu).
All I need is ability to seamlessly operate whatsApp (mostly make and receive calls) as most times (99% of the time), I am on whatsApp / teleGram web via my PC.

NeatNess doesn't matter much as I prioritize performance over aesthetics. I want no cracked or broken screens or those with ink please.

DisplayType don't matter much. infact LCD is much appreciated than AmoLed or retina Displays.

Operating System must be from Android 8 and above. Also those with Android Go shouldn't bother at all abeg.

Mind you, I'm not after a device that would last just a year or 2. No; I want it to even outlast mua sef hence mostly after those of Qualcomm Snapdragon or similar BUT would outRightly reject those of MediaTek except they're flagShip models.

Also my major target is normal or flagShip models, not budget models.

Also, super slim devices are a NO go area for me as they are not only fragile BUT easy to heatUp. Don't want to suffer from dead motherBoards or screens like most of you normal humans.

Also have no issue with those with no Sim (wifi Only) as even if it's got working simPort, would always be on airplane mode.

I don't do iOS except you would be gifting me as I'm more of an openSource kinda human.

maxBudget is 40,000 naira and that's a very hard max. For very very exceptional devices, could be willing to go up to a max of 50,000 naira.

Location: Lagos / Ogun (not Abeokuta) state.
Mind You, except it's completely FREE, and I pay for wayBill only after testing it at least works, I don't do wayBill.

NB: No one should waste his/her time + mine trying to engage me in negotiations as I would end discussions even before they get started the moment I notice your offer doesn't align with my requirements.

PS: Just that I'm kinda busy else already have plans for a browser only whatsApp alternatives that wouldn't force me to rely on apps BUT ETA is kinda long as I'm tightly occupied with other more serious things that actually pays ma bills. Hopefully before next phaseOut, wouldn't have a need to once again upgrade.

Jesus .. na second hand phone you want to buy na you Dey write up and down like this as if you wan dash person Samsung s23 ultra. Abeg oh…. Hahaha

Tdoctor:
Thanks a lot. From your view, do you think the capacity is acceptable for the price?

That’s a very good result if you ask me

Another reason I tell people, if you KNOW cost of that inverter wasn't so easy for you to afford, respect yourSelf and buy transformer based inverter ELSE tranformerLess is more battery Efficient at Night. During the day, doesn't matter much as sunLight dey.

Well are you trying to say transformer based inverters resist thunderstorms more and non transformer are prone to thunderstorms?

osayuwamwen:
na Benin ooh heavy rain
thunder they strike continuously for more than 30mins

Ah that’s confirmed no much thunder for my area but 3 people already brought in inverters to my shop for repair due to thunderstorm

osayuwamwen:
alot of inverter go spoil today the thunder alone today nor be small

Which location is that ?

tziz:
Seller is insisting it's original, even sent this screenshot to me. But the same tin u see na im I see o..

This is the first confirmation step you still have to check if it’s the stipulated watts, the panel can be original jinko but fake sticker, manipulated watts, anything you see 650 or 750 especially is manipulated watts. So use the generated information to check for the actual watts

Azzamann:
Please I need help.
Has anyone here patronised Henry Batteries?
The contact lady on WhatsApp is insisting that payment be made before I can go pickup from the warehouse off Oba Akran.
Is this legit? Because I dey fear o

Cc. Bassdow, Penuelseun, osayuwamwen, OCTAVO, Dam5reey1, odimbannamdi, dollarnaira, HeavenlyBang, Trippledots, fuckboys, ceejay80s

Please can anyone vouch for them? I dey road already.

Even if you waist your time and money go the warehouse the wrong time when Chinese Dey sleep then you go waist your money go back to house because them must approve the payment for head office for china then approve manager to release your goods. Your question should be how good the battery is, it’s very cheap and affordable but quality uncor if to say you Dey near me I for say make you come carry my own bought it last month.

chadbasin:
Evening people, please I have a question: how much watt/kw do 1.5hp and 1hp inverter ACs normally/typically draw/consume?
Thank you.

It depends from manufacturer to manufacturer so trust what the manufacturer says than what anyone will tell you. Mostly 1HP starts from 900- 1100 watts and reduces as much as 200watts for some while 1.5hp from 900 - 1200watts and reduces to 400- 600watts when the room is cool. Be mindful of some 1HP that comes with aluminum core they always tend to fail after some years

ajabani4allah:
Are you saying that discharging lifepo4 down to 2.5v everytime will not have significant effect on its degradation?

That’s story for the gods oh, over discharging and over charging and charging with too much current will reduce the lifespan of the battery, any action that causes heat to the battery reduces its life

bassdow:
Use whatEver roofing sheet you can afford BUT better if you can afford a thicker one. Some roofing sheets nowAdays as slim as cheap tissue paper.

Another is, try using thiicker quality wood because those things get weaker in the long run + should tomorrow someone decides putting 20pcs of 710w bi-Facial solar panels, there would be less reason to cringe.

Another is, I do understand those sendDownTheRain style roofs are aesthetically pleasing, they ain't very solar friendly + not even friendly for those who could end up installing or servicing the solar panels especially if it's a multi-Storey building.

At end of the day, Most of us can't afford stone coated roofing sheets or gerrad and a lot of the Aluminium roofing sheets in the market, their thickNess are not often what's advertised. In fact pray make wind no help you upRoot some of them.

Have seen people who ennded up reRoofing their house with Slate (Asbestors) BUT personally, I don't like state for mere fact I see it as fragile BUT at end of the day, na your pocket to sepll reality for you.

As for those saying to wear Nose Mask while working on Slate roofs, hope they're very much aware say no be Day wey you cut Tree e dey Die. If at all those things would give Cancer, it's not gonna be those few hours you there + the Slates I see nowAdays, look more to me like they were done using cement and whatEver. mayBe those also living under such roof ought to wear noseMask all their lives while within such buildings

My brother it seems you don’t know any thing about asbestos this thing that has been band in Australia Europe and America because of the thousands of people it killed in the 50s and 60s due to cancer, I can’t type much just research about asbestosis. A whole community was abandoned till date because of the danger of asbestos. People who work around this things should be very careful one small mistake and you breath in asbestos Fibre there goes your peaceful future.

TechGeek777:
This is hot plate, the first one I bought 2015 lasted until 2023, then bought same (2 in 1) hot plate in same year and it got bad 2024.

I bought
"BUSHBURGH Intelligent Infrared Electric Stove - 3500W" 28-11-2024 and have been using it without issue.

[url] bushburgh-intelligent-infrared-electric-stove-3500w-230452408.html[/url]

Check jumia

After you power it, the lowest "Function" button consumes 2,200w, other buttons like BBQ consumes 2,500w but after each button you can reduce it to 100w. Highest is 3,000w not 3500w as written.

I use regular pot.

Technically I don't think those with less than 2500w inverter can use this infrared Stove, but it's highly recommended if you don't want induction cooker.

I think earlier test I did in 2024 shows you can boil 4ltrs water (< 12 mins) if you set it 2500w.

But the Sockets get burned often, then I changed to metal original A&Bt socket and 5kva Century Stabilizer started melting.

Highest I use now is 1500w which is more than enough.

(Buttons and Consumptions Shown on the Stove)
STIR FRY: 3,000W
BBQ: 2,500W
STEAM: 2,800W
FUNCTION: 2,200W

I however noticed after continuous 4 - 5hrs on 1500w, the infrared Stove goes off to protect itself. Then I allow it to cool for max 10min and continue usage.

Most things you people are calling infrared is is just modified hot plate. One of my client has it all there wire for meter done burn finish, electrician nor Dey finish for there house. The stuff got broken and they brought it to my workshop what I saw inside was just a coil like hot plate and thermistors variable resistor

Hello ladies and Gentlemen please clear the floor for team Induction cooker!!! Well just to chip in my little contribution for those using non stick magnetic pans please pay attention when it ages or coating start to pill off its very dangerous to the health it can course cancer. If possible just buy the plane still or stainless pans. Respeck all….

adibo:
It is available on fouani and Gennex technology, as well as Cdcare

Ok thanks

adibo:
Also, is Gennex technology a trusted online platform? I saw an inverter for 570, 900k on fouani but Gennex is selling for 502k.

Also, is Growatt 6kva 48v inverter with dual mppt a good buy?

Of course it’s a good buy please where did you see it to buy and how much, it’s urgent pls

codemaster2much:
hi someone I know need half cut panel , how can One reach thee

They have been sold out but you can keep in touch next week more will be available.

sirneyo2005:
Good morning all please do we have an inverter that can work with any battery voltage (12,24,36...) just like a charge controller that auto detects battery voltage if yes kindly name some thank you

I only have 12v and 24v let me know if interested.

bassdow:
e ready. Just haven't met the right customer. Make e dey pray more people don't start knowing halfCut solar panels are much better

Even the half cut I get them for used ones 450watts half cut that I can sell for 55k

[quote author=bassdow post=138995895]for a load of 7kw, fixing your 8kva transformer based inverter wouldn't make much sense because you go spoil am again since difference between the 8kva inverter and the load no far at all.

Buying another 10kva inverter also doesn't make much sense as you just end up spending more money without enjoying any form of redundancy.

What I would suggest is buying another 5kva inverter of same model as what you currently using and parallel them

if you must buy a brand new inverter, don't buy 10kva, buy something much larger e.g 12kva.

[b]So now, it's left for you to decide which is cheaper - buying a new inverter of say 12kva or geting another identical 5kva inverter and parallel it with your existing

Great point, I appreciate your input.

My people I greet the house, I need experience opinion please. I already have 5kva hybrid inverter now I want to add a very heavy load about 7000watts (Ac) should I double the inverter in parallel since it supports that or should I just go for another 10kva inverter or should I just fix my 8kva transformer inverter that is bad ? Anyone have experience on reliability of paralleling 2 inverters

xtremeidea:
Hello Guys, please what Voltage protector do you guys use? i got one Joyelec like this and it's not cutting but allowing voltage over 240 pass through. i have done the settings multiple times.

You have not set it well as long as it’s a new device I would not say it’s faulty.

justasitis:
It was hot plate the man had not an infrared cooker because the infrared cooking technology which does not require a magnetic pot to work came after the induction cooker. So, it is an improvement over the induction cooker which is gradually being phased out.

What is infrared inside there? its just a glorified hot plate with minor twicks with a variable resistor. The way it draws power before you will be able to adjust it ehn, after I adjust am self it took almost 30 minutes to boil water, I just gave up

justasitis:
Why not go for an infrared cooker like Fred, it has a maximum power of 2200w but can be reduced to as low as 100w and at 800w-1000w the burner turns red. It’s quite fast, energy efficient, has timer, works with any pot and comes with grill stand for grilling or roasting corn. It’s what I’m using as I we have stopped using gas since last year.

Infrared cooker this one na this same thing as hot plate na. I had it before na two seconds I take sell am quick quick. I have induction cooker but the minimum it draws is about 1000w I will really love that guys own that draws 800 and as low as 200w steady draw
