JUO:
Which of these setup is 6kw. The inverter, solar panels or battery?

I need a 6KW system. The panels, batteries, inverter (PURE SINE WAVE) and the Charge Controller (MPPT) etc, should collectively be sized in terms of capacities and quantities, to form an EFFICIENT 6KW WORKING SYSTEM.

Cheers

OK, I have been offline pls cos am in a remote area/site for now.. Are all this description from an installer cos its not really indepth tho? Kindly call my line for transactions and you will definitely get the best unit prices as regards to clear quantity needed from me ... Thanks !!

I sent a text to you yesterday regarding the Vmp of your Yashi 300watt mono panels. Still awaiting your response.

Cheers.

chris81964:
You still are not providing enough information to get a reasonable quote. What appliances do you want to power and for how long? We can calculate battery bank capacity and the PV array size from your response. This will also help determine the charge controller you will need and so much more

The sum total of the running load will fluctuate depending on how many people are at home at any point in time. As a minimum 1500 watts, which can climb to 3000 watts.

In addition the system should also be able to run a 600 watts washing machine, that is capable of generating it's own hot water; as well as power 1hp submersible water pump and possibly run 2 1hp inverter air conditioner.

If you think my requirement is oversized, then feel free to design an appropriate system and quote accordingly. I am open to suggestions.

Cheers.

I wish to thank all who have shown interest in my request and have made useful suggestions for my benefit.

For the record and if you read my second post properly, I stated that "genuine Chinese" products shall be considered and I went further to state what I do not want, which anyone involved in commercial activities knows about. I have a right of choice as to what I want to spend my money on. I have a lot of respect for the Chinese for their manufacturing prowess. That being said I have absolutely no respect for the dubious Nigerian or Chinese or American or of whatever origin who would request for, or manufacture substandard goods in order to pass them off for the quality they are not. The market is segmented and each will find his level according to his purchasing power. And that has nothing to do with mental slavery.

And the insinuation that because a governor or senator who supposedly has enough money to pay for something but chose otherwise is also exercising his right of choice and should not on any account form the basis to assess or judge others. They have money because they grab a large chunk of our collective wealth for themselves, they are not worth emulating and to infer that I cannot do what I want because a senator or governor refused to do it is insulting to say the least.

Having said that, all beneficial suggestions are welcomed and appreciated.

Cheers.

chris81964:
How did you size the system to get the 6 kw inverter? German or American batteries in the Nigerian market come in 2v 6v and 12 V but not in the capacities you list.
The same with the panels. The largest manufacturers of panels are Chinese.

The system sizing is okay but can be downgraded to between 4 and 5KW.

In the absence of the stated capacities, the available capacities as well as optional capacities can be considered.

Genuine Chinese products can be considered, but not products that were manufactured at the request of some dishonest Nigerians, and which therefore carry the stated capacity on the label but does not deliver the expected performance.

Cheers.

GrecoSolar:
Solar power is already a major force in the world energy generation, and with the advent of even more available options for lithium-ion batteries, the two are quickly becoming the must-have combination for all your energy needs.

But this powerful partnership is more than just a passing trend or fad – it’s the future of off-the-grid energy.

What makes the combined strength of solar panels and lithium power so future-oriented? Here are four of the many reasons why you should be plugging into the combination of solar power and lithium:

Reason #1: Low-Resistance Charging

Lithium-ion batteries are a perfect match for solar energy. This is because lithium batteries require low-resistance charging, which is precisely the power that solar panels provide. As a result, very little energy is wasted in the charging process.

In addition, lithium batteries charge faster in general, making solar panel arrays a better choice for charging since their use is limited to daylight hours.

Reason #2: Longer Life Cycle

Lithium-ion batteries have a much longer life span than other battery power solutions, with a life cycle that’s ten times the length of lead acid batteries. Not only does this mean you have longer lasting, consistent power, but it’s also good news for your solar power/lithium combined setup.

Since the initial installation of a solar power system is so time intensive, you want a battery that matches the life cycle of your solar panels and doesn’t require frequent maintenance or replacement. Because both solar power and lithium batteries have longer life cycles, they’re well matched to provide you with consistent energy over the long term.

Reason #3: Cost Savings Over Time

Traditional lead acid batteries aren’t as expensive as lithium-ion solutions. But once you factor in the cost of frequent replacement, lead acid batteries are easily the most expensive batteries on the market. This doesn’t even take into account the investments of time and effort or any installer costs, which may be even higher with frequent replacement.

Lithium batteries, on the other hand, save you time and money throughout their life span. While initially more expensive, their return on investment in energy savings, ease of use, length of life cycle and streamlined replacement all translate into higher cost savings in the long run. Once you combine these savings with free solar power, the best investment choice is clear.

Reason #4: Virtually Maintenance Free

Unlike other battery solutions, lithium-ion batteries don’t require you to check or increase water levels every three months. Also, lithium batteries are much more portable than lead acid batteries, making them easier to move or change when needed.

Furthermore, lithium power is clean, reducing your maintenance worries. Unlike lead acid batteries, which may create harmful gases when stored in poorly ventilated areas, there’s no need to worry about gaseous toxic buildup from lithium power solutions.

The power generated from your solar arrays is just as clean as lithium power and reduces greenhouse gas emissions, unlike traditional power sources that may have a larger carbon footprint.

The combination of solar power with lithium batteries is the best energy solution for today and for tomorrow. From low-resistance charging to greater time and cost savings, the solar/lithium partnership puts your energy worries to rest.

Greco Solar is a professional solar panel manufacturer, and is one of the first companies that has combined solar power, lithium battery and LED technologies into its revolutionary ‘All-in-One’ integrated solar LED light system. The company is also involved in the development of other solar solutions such as 50W and 80W portable solar systems and 12000BTU/1.50HP solar air conditioning systems.

I am interested in your analogy and incidentally, I am in the process of setting up a solar power setup in my new house which is in location that is not hooked to our national grid yet. Could you drop your email and we can start a discussion on whether it is possible for me to be your first client.

So I will be the first on Nairaland to ride a Nissan Almera Tino.
That would be so so cool!

Hey, Nairalanders, are you guys trying to claim that noone has any experiences with Almera Tino? It is unbelievable and this is Auto Section.

Dealers, I am sure you have sold one or two and you have something to say about the car. Say it here please!

I am in the process of acquiring a 2006 Nissan Almera Tino, produced in Nissan's Factory in Spain. I intend to use it as an everyday car that will help me reduce fueling costs. It has manual transmission, 1.8 litres four(4) cylinders engine. Those who have used the car can drop their experiences here in terms of fuel economy, reliability, drive, handling, durability, common problems, peculiar problems etc. This will help prepare me for what to expect. From my research online, it was adjudged to be pretty reliable. However, there were several complaints about immobilizer glitch that prevents the vehicle from starting. Share your experiences candidly. Thank you all as you post!

@Poster

Just pray and hope that nothing happens between that guy and his brother's wife because if it does, you will carry part of the responsibility!
You still do not appreciate the potency of thoughts, especially dirty ones. Christ said if you look lustfully at a woman, you have committed fornication with her. This should serve as a warning that your thoughts are not harmless.

Unknown to you, you have generated this thought and have directed at your friend and his sister-in-law. It will continue to harass them until they succumb, if they are not strong within. So you better pray, because if it happens, you will reap part of the consequences too!

"Keep the hearth of your thoughts pure, by so doing you will bring peace and be happy" so says One with Infinite Wisdom.

Peace.

The prices for cars not older than 2000 and cost below N1million may be of interest to others. So kindly post the info here please.

Thanks

You worship them when you call them, think of them, and treat them etc as men of God.  The worshipping starts from there because unconsciously or subconsciously, you then look at them and behave towards them as the title implies. They are nothing but human beings like you and I and should be treated as such.  Respect them as you would other people who deserve your respect.  Do not look unto them as representatives of the Lord on earth. They are not men of God. At best they can call themselves servants of the Lord if they know the meaning of the concept and wish to live their lives accordingly!  However, in their unbridled arrogance they wish to lift themselves above all other human beings and thereby carving for themselves artificial positions of power, authority and influence which they otherwise would not have.  Thus they merely make use of the Name of the Lord for their selfish ends and this really amounts to blasphemy!

Peace!

Just calling a spade what it is: A SPADE!

@Benzora

I read your post which some others have adjudged wise.  But for me, and with due respect, do not consider it wise.  The post came across as one who will rather bury his head in the sand like an ostrich instead of facing the facts boldly.  What makes a man is the ability to deal with any situation dispassionately but objectively, being fair to all concerned including himself. I agree that we have heard the story from one side and so can only work with facts as they are presented to us.  You think that those calling for divorce are children because marriage is not meant for children and by implication do not have the maturity to deal with the issue raised here.  What you advise here bothers on indulgence which does not solve any problem but actually create more problems when you suggest that forgiveness should be granted unconditionally.  I also advocate forgiveness but not so generous that I will call what is BLACK white just because I want to appear great.  This way you actually encourage evil because the culprit will never desist from doing evil knowing that you will always generously forgive him or her.  That is neither beneficial to you nor to the culprit.  Love is severe and only does what is of benefit to the beloved.  Love will punish an offender when it is necessary, even severely so if that is the only way the person can be made to realise the wrongness of his or her actions.  This will help the person to change. 

My view on the matter is as follow, examine it critically.

Those calling for divorce are not advising it out of callousness but facing the facts squarely.  Examine the facts again:

1. The wife had been dating the boss for about three years
2. The wife is pregnant for the boss
3. The boss had asked her to abort the pregnancy

This woman is no longer a wife to her husband but to her boss. 
The husband is now merely a spare tyre that still has to carry the large portion of the load.

The marriage vows you are referring to did not say for better for worse in isolation. Some conditions were stipulated before the last part to which everyone now wants to cling.  Conditions that include FORSAKING ALL OTHER MEN AND GIVING HERSELF ONLY TO HER HUSBAND and vice versa for the man.  When any of the stipulated conditions is broken, then the culprit is no longer entitled to take shelter under the banner of 'for better for worse'.  The woman first broke her marital vows and so must face the consequences.

You advocate that he should forgive her.  What will you advise that is done with the pregnancy that she is carrying for her boss: terminate it, deliver the baby and the husband adopts it, pretend that the baby is the husband's own or hand it over to the biological father, the boss and come back and continue with her marriage? 

As far as I am concerned, the marriage ended the day the woman decided to have an affair with her boss for whatever reason. There is no better proof that the woman is tired of the marriage than for her to be so callous as to get pregnant for the boss when she is still married to her husband.  I am told that condoms are very expensive in the UK but definitely not in Nigeria.  Here they are cheap and readily available.  The woman is selfish, self-centred and has absolutely no consideration and respect for her husband.  This is no longer a marriage and should be terminated before the man will wake up one morning and feeling that he has been over-cheated by both his wife and her boss and decide to do something foolish in a momentous rage that borders on temporary insanity!

OP

You no longer have a wife.  You will not be divorcing her but will only be granting her wishes which were clearly expressed in her actions. She wants to go, cut her loose!

Peace!

I know this is an old thread but I just could not help but drop my thoughts here regarding the appropriateness or inappropriateness of divorce. Consider the following:

Marriage is supposed to be so full of harmony, joy, happiness and peace that through it, the home is made a sanctuary where love reign supreme. This can only happen where the man is married to 'his own wife' and not another man's wife or the woman is married to 'her own husband' and not another woman's husband. This means that the love existing between the couple is unconditional and has its roots in the spiritual qualities of the couples rather than based on physical and material considerations only. Here there will be harmony, love, peace, selflessness, mutual respect, consideration, and so forth. Children brought up in such homes will grow up to be very decent human beings through whom the society will be blessed! That is what marriage is supposed to be.

Any marriage or home where the above conditions are not met should be terminated promptly so that the couple would still be able to respect and tolerate each other in future. The children will be less harmed with the separation than the marriage that is forced to continue to exist even when there is no love, harmony, mutual respect, consideration and peace. Such a home is no longer is sanctuary but a battle ground. Each can imagine what kind of children develop in battle fields. Children can never be served and raised properly in an atmosphere where hatred dwell, where love has fled, where disharmony is the normal way of life. Such children will grow up with very warped understanding of marriage and relationship and the home as well. The deep wounds that are inflicted on the souls of these young ones stay with them all their lives. They go through life not trusting anyone, always suspicious of the motives of others, cannot give or receive love because the innocence in them regarding love had been destroyed in their home by the examples set by their parents.

So you advocates of togetherness at all costs, beware for you may be promoting and supporting evil which in reality you encourage for couples who can no longer love and respect each other should not live together in marriage for they will thereby be living together in sin!

Peace!

@unsuregirl

Just a few questions:

How old are you now and how old were you before you started dating your husband for 5 years?
What was the nature of the dating: Intimate or platonic?
What was your communication like when you were dating?

Try and answer these questions and a lot will become clear to you.  
No matter how old you are, you need some growing up. Age is a number that does not always determine the level of ones maturity.
You need to remember too that you are now a wife and not a girlfriend.  There are tremendous differences between these two.  You will need to discover these differences quick for they will instruct you on how a wife should act.

Peace!

@Johnkester: « #184 on: Today at 10:02:29 PM »Before the bold, you seemed to have been consistent with reality, vis a vis, a rice grain sowed shall bring forth rice grain[s], and s sinner shall be punished for it, a cause and effect reality syndrome. How is God the father of a human being who is clearly a servant by his own tongue? How is an innocent person by your statement going to dieso that Adolf Hitler does not die a second death? How powerful is this man in ability to serve as ransom for forgiveness, when God the Everlasting Cherisher, Designer of all, Most Powerful to Forgive, since He is the Only One Who Owns and Controls Forgiveness will now kill somebody innocent and even as your people say that he was sent for this purpose only cried out in a blaming bid to God, "my God, my God. . . . hy has thou forsaken me?" If this was your second in command,Mr. Johnkester and he say as the Bible reported that Jesus said, above, will you count him as a loyal Manager of your company, will you have full confidence in him,or he will jobless the following morning?

How is it possible that when it comes to responsibility, all christians want Jesus to be responsible for what should have been their responsibility. Is there a need for Jesus to die? None, since a sinner must be responsible for his own sin.

@Sweetnecta

I tried to understand your post but I am not quite sure I got it right.  However, in the event that your post is implying that I am in support of the death of Christ on the cross, let me emphatically in the strongest terms possible state that such is not my position.  I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT CHRIST DIED TO CARRY AWAY ANYONE'S SINS.

If you go through my post very well, you will notice that I was pointing out fundamental contradictions with the assertion made by christians that Jesus died in order to carry away their sins.  That assertion is and will always remain a blasphemy against the Holiness of God, His Love, Justice, Wisdom and Perfection.  As already stated in my earlier post, He said in His commandments:  Thou Shalt Not Kill.  This means that killing is a sin, yet some human beings now have the effrontery to assert that He allowed men to kill His Son so that He can forgive their sins! Outrageously grotesque assertion! A figment of their indolent imaginations!  That is what I will say to the assertion. 

Death on the cross was not the mission of Christ on earth but His Message.  Men alone have distorted everything to the point of absurdity because, like you rightly pointed out in your post, they would rather pass the responsibility for their wrongdoings and sins to another.  But they will come face to face with the stark reality when they eventually pass on and are confronted with their sins, when they will have to experience the force of reality of the saying that WHATEVER A MAN SOWS, THAT SHALT HE REAP! There their experiences will force them to discard this absurdity and embrace the Truth, if they do not wish to be lost for all eternity!

Peace!

Well, what do I really say,

They say religion and commonsense don't go together.  That is the same as saying that there is no logic.  But the whole of Creation shows consistent logic in all its development, manifestation and laws.  Rice will bring forth rice and never otherwise - what you sow you reap, that will never change!

They say He had to allow His Son to be murdered so as to forgive their sins, When He already clearly stated in the commandments:  Thou Shalt Not Kill!

His Son was murdered and even as He hung on the cross dying in the burning rays of the sun He prayed thus:  FATHER, FORGIVE THEM FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO!  A clear indication that what they did was wrong, indeed a sin that needed to be forgiven.  

Again, He did not commit any sins, yet He had to die for the sins of others; meanwhile it is clearly written WHATEVER A MAN SOWS, THAT SHALL [b]HE [/b]REAP!  No one else will do it for him.  That is justice. But what is being disseminated today is definitely not justice, for there will be an outrage when a judge on earth knowingly sentences one for the crime committed by another.  However, do remember: THE LORD IS NOT MOCKED for He is also Justice just as He is Love!

But some human beings with sordid motives have made a mockery of the Message of Salvation brought by Christ.  They have turned the signposts contained in the Message in the wrong direction and thereby have become the most effective souls catchers for the darkness.  However, if human beings have not allowed themselves to be burdened with spiritual indolence which makes it possible for them to believe the unbelievable even when the facts clearly state otherwise; they would have seen clearly that the religious doctrine of the death of Christ on the cross is self serving to those who have decided to commercialise the Message.

Peace!

Are you a psychologist?

It really shouldn't take a psychologist to see what is wrong with him.

However, to answer your question: I am much more than a psychologist.

Hey everyone, slow down!

Please and please again, take it easy with him now o.  Haba! It is obvious that he is suffering from some form of inferiority complex.  It is only those that suffer from this that require bells and whistles to cover up the smallness of their inner being, in a sheer desire to puff themselves up than they really are.  Unfortunately, he not only does not know how to manage the complex, but he aggravates the situation by not having control over his utterances.  Now he has added arrogance, superficiality and childishness to further expose the poverty of his inner being believing that he is thus disguising his complex.  That he thinks thus also adds foolishness to his numerous accolades of emptiness.

He needs help, so please rather than yab him, tell him how to solve his problem which a lot of persons suffer from but which some have not allowed to degrade them!

Peace.

I have driven a lot of manuals, and I am currently driving autos.

No doubt there is a restriction with autos not permitting you to be fully and completely in control of the vehicle. There is always the lag even when you floor the gas pedal and it responds instantly, you are always not sure whether it will hesitate longer than necessary. This is a negative and hinders instant decisions and execution.

With manual, you decide when the gear should upshift or downshift and do the shifting accordingly. This puts you fully and completely in charge and in control. The possibility of the autos to refuse to downshift when you need it to is thus eliminated, thus reducing the risk of the avoidable with manual.

That being said, I have been longing to drive a manual again without losing the convenience of cruising offered by autos, so I got a car with auto equipped with a manual shift gate which amounts to manual without the clutch. Not much experience with this yet. However I still long for a manual manual!

So much debate on the preferred child: Male or Female!

You can prefer all you want but bear the following in mind:
Every child is a blessing from God and should be appreciated as such.
Every child is first and foremost a human being who through the Grace of God was permitted to incarnate on earth through you.
Every parent gets the child they deserve, either by commission, omission or through negligence on their part.
Every human being is here on earth for a purpose and it is the duty of parents to ensure that the children do not get derailed from fulfilling this purpose. Parents need to be specially watchful that they do not by commission, omission or negligence lead their children astray by misplacing the natural order of priorities that the purpose of existence has established for human beings. If this happens, then the sins of the parents may revenge themselves on the children up to the fourth or fifth generation for as long as it takes until the generation find the right path again.

Every human being has a right to a past and that cannot be disputed.  However, the important thing is that when you take the very serious step of planning to go into a permanent relationship with another human being, you owe that person the duty of care to reveal your past to him or her.  This way, you will save yourselves future embarrassments and scandals when the hidden past eventually comes back to haunt you.  Do not take away the right to make the decision after hearing your past, whether or not he still wishes to be with you.  It is his decision to make, not yours to make for him.

Secondly, it is not love but selfishness and lack of humane feelings when you not only hid your past but fabricate lies to cover them up.

In your own case, you owe your friend a duty of care to let him know what happened.  However, what matters is how you reveal the past.  If you cannot reveal the past directly, then you can spur your friend to investigate by declining to play any role in the wedding.  Tell him you cannot out of good conscience play any role given what you know, but which you cannot reveal.  Encourage him to get the girl to reveal her actual past to him.  Where this fails, sit both of them down and in the presence of the lady, spill the beans.

I agree that people do change for the better at some points in their lives through their own experiences or lessons they have learnt from experiences of others.  Those who change show it in their conduct and activities.  If this lady in question had changed, she would have come clean and trust on the love the young man has for her to prevail.  If it didn't, then the young man was never hers and she can continue the search.

For me, the moral of this story is for the young ones to always take heed never to engage in activities that will come back to haunt them in future!

Peace!
