omotech:
are they 220volts? If it is how much are you selling them? Thanks

Yes , 220V,

Prices- N600-800

Uten9z:
pls my 2001 model c 240. has serious vibration problem when ever I stop moving or slow down in traffic slows downs. pls some1 help for proper advice

check AC compressor, Engine sitting, tranny sitting

Liveair:


Hi JUO,
I desist from using several units of Charge Controllers together on same batt bank to avoid Cut-Out interactions.

When one Controller sees voltage from another (instead of batt voltage) as High Enough Voltage and then cuts charging.
This is similar to what you get connecting a batt charger to Solar setup.

No one CC can accept 3200w for a 24v system

omotech:
Thank you for your response, please can you tell me how much you buy it from eBay don't be offended by my question

I sell LED bulbs

89Leds and 46LEDs

about 7watts and 5watts

bigrovar:
Happy new year all the Pro and DIY gurus in the house. I have been following this thread from the sidelines for a very long time now while I put together my first renewable energy system.

Brilliant!

As Boss Abunafiu Adviced, kindly report back and share your result .

Cheers!

How much and how much do you have?

richard04:
I have some paypal(usd) I want to xchange for naira, anyone interested contact me.

Big Man. Well for 30Years its very easy to pay. that's

Mathematically

Remember you pay 30% at first deposit so thats

Initial Deposit of 30%
30% of 8Million = 2,400,000

Left over deposit for over 30 years
Now 8Million - 2.4Million = N5.6Million

5,600,000 / 360 months ( 30yrs ) = 15,555.555 per Month

Approximately N15,560 a month. Not even taking into cognizance inflation and other macroeconomic variables that might set in. This is a good deal i agree.

This means you are to

the offer is really good, but i must say 30years is pretty much, i cant see myself paying any loan more than 18months.

It makes me feel i am in bondage, if they are around me, i go dey collect OD well from them because GTB and other comm. banks dey cut neck...interest rate na die,

adanny01:


Technically, you are wrong.

2v 500Ah batteries 6 pieces connected in series gives 12v 3000Ah. Did you answer that? No. I just wanted true or false and other stories you wish can be added.

You went further to convert to Kwh=(Ah x v)/1000 which no one asked you neither is it what samnaija made a mistake. In stating your result you stated it wrongly which on a good day may pass off as a typo but in this case you went too far missing an important unit. Thats what diferentiates me and others.

6Kw is not same as 6Kwh which is the correct unit.

36Kwh is your answer.

Besides that you still maintain the bank is 12v 500ah that gives you wrong answers. Ah is not the same as current A. Stop confusing yourself.

Brother,

I really don't know how to write plenty but see the attached diagrams if it makes any sense to you.

If not, i will try more so we learn together

temizeee:
lwkmd ooo.... my oga it is true u are not electrical engineer ooo...... ..lolz

My broda,

see me see my bicycle

adanny01:

It doesnt add up.
6 x 2v 500ah gave you 12v 500ah? No i dont think so.
Its either
6 x 2v 500ah should give you 12v 3000ah
Or
6 x 2v 85ah should give you 12v 510ah.

Series connection- v1+v2=current remain same but voltage increases

Parrallel connection -- v1+v2=same but current increases

pretts:
Yes I agree with those who say it would have been worse if GEJ had been elected for another 4 years. The only reason exchange rate was stable for a long time during the "cluelessness regime " like you called it was because the price of Brent crude was at its peak, the highest it ever was in history. As a result, the inflow of forex into the country was unprecedented, and because we all forgot that all good things must come to an end, the looting spree continued unabated. All we are facing right now is because Brent crude is below the $40/barrel mark and we have no savings from all the years of the huge windfall, unfortunately when Iraq & Iran increases production next year, I'm not sure how economies like ours will cope with our absolute dependence on crude exports. Regardless of what's currently going on, I'm not sure if it's right for anyone to be openly supporting going back to the era of so much corruption and waste of resources that we have just come out of...but what do I know, this is Nigeria where we like to take a step forward and 10 steps backward.

Oh !,
Just wish you are close to me and take a good hug.

Just as some said, taking this off here wont make any meaning, banks wanna stay competitive so to say, for some reasons, they hike price to make more money and i really cant get my head around it but i know the bank rates on cards is not dependent on what they see here.

Don't forget the R& of banks make research and get their info.

NIgerians use cards daily and ask me the % number of users that are on this forum and actually follow this thread--- a little fraction.

lets just forget this and move on as it comes, hoping CBN relaxes some policies that would favour us.

Cheers

salsera:
So for now

I'm getting 2.5kva PRAG

What's specs for solar panels do I need
Do I need to get PRAG batteries as well or what other brand would you recommend
Apart from batteries, solar panels, inverter what other accessories do I need?

Inverter
batteries( also battery rack)
charge controller(controls how your batteries charge from the Solar panels)
Solar panels
Professional Solar Roof mount/ Iron fabricated mount
Protective devices(DC Circuit breakers, SPD,Current limiters etc)
cables and connectors


1500watts for 24hrs or at certain point?
thats a lot of power and i must add that 2.5KVA is about 2KW, I am sure you wouldnt wanna run 75-100% load on your inverter.

You need to trim down your load lest you have millions to invest in this project.

ibrodex:


Thanks for your reply so far. 1500 watts is an estimated figure based on the following.

7 standing fans with an estimated power of 90W ==== 630W
27 energy saving lights 15W each. =============405W
2LED TVs of 110W each =================== 220W
Total ============================== 1255 W

I rounded it up to 1500W.

Note. This figures were obtained from the surgery I did for a prospective client.

Projected time of use is 12hr.

Needed to enlighten the client before he invest in it.
He actually saw me using inverter in my apartment and since then he has been on my neck,though I did mine myself but he's on my neck and I needed to advise him and send him a quote. The quote will be based on with solar and without solar panels.

Your candid advise is highly appreciated.

For a 24v system,
Minimum of 2 batteries in series is 24v*200AH=4800wh
At 50%DOD- you get 2400WH, the multiply by 2 for 4 batteries or 24v
Without solar a 24v,400AH gives 4800and can only power the home for just 3.8hrs of the battery is fully charged.
For a 2battery, 24v*200AH, its just half of the above.

If you wanna include solar , then u may need to differentiate daytime load and night time load, that would help a lot in estimating.

U may not consume as much as 1255 at same time as you won't have all the fans and other appliances on all the time.

You can also cut down the energy consumed by the bulbs(we can supply you LED bulbs 3-7watts)

Please note:

"What can power in the day is being determined by how much energy u harvest from the sun , but how much u have in the night is solely dependent on the charge in the battery"

Cheers

richmon74:


I usually stay away from making this kind of comments am about to but for this one i really feel like i should.



What will your client gain buy buying an inverter with almost half a million naira when he doesn't even have batteries? What advantage will he get by buying PRAG over luminous?


Please pardon me if this is not what you expected

Boss,
people sometimes make this mistake but thats why we are here--to learn and share

Inverter charging current and inverter specifications doesn not have anything to do with how much harvest that the solar gives the batteries.

as you said, the inverter is not the problem, the issues may be but not limited to the following-
-Solar power specification and configuration(those 100w panels are not always impressive with yield)
-whats the load requirement of the home?

if the same configuration with the PWM CC was used for the MPPT, then it doesnt make any sense as the system will hardly generate voltage that would make the MPPT function to work.

@Pharyn,

change the configuration of the solar panels to enjoy the MPPT
the temperature is getting higher recently, and it sure adversely affect PV especially if they are installed directly on the roof, check this
you can use the inverter to augment if they have high load requirement .

I would always tell people to tell their clients the truth about solar and renewable energy and thus my quote

"if you want a backup power, its affordable; but if you need a complete independence, its a project"

You write well, I followed you to read this but writing all these small kids English is a piss off.

Its "with" and not "wiv"

JanethEze:
I will not spare the rod with my child, understand me. I don't want anyother person physically assulting my child. If he does something wrong, let the teacher talk to me and i will punish my child MYSELF. either with cane, belt or whatever. Some teachers dont know a childs medical history, some might be epileptic, some have sickle cell and so on. Parents should be the ones to flog their children, the teachers job is to report to the parents. If the childs behaviour doesnt change in schoo, then the school has the right to expel the child. I repeat, CORPORATE PUNISHMENT IN SCHOOLS HAS LED TO ACTUAL STUDENT DEATHS, NIGERIAN SCHOOLS SHOULD STOP IT!!!!!!!

Its 1/1000 cases, if yu are so wealthy to send your kids to the very sophisticated schools, all about your kids -medical, special care to be taken is in his/her file.

the truth remains that a mother can NEVER do it perfectly well ALONE. wonder why rich people kids waste away in foreign schools.

All the private schools that fees are in hundreds of thousands neither beat or fail a child because any parent that can afford 500k a term can send any teacher to kiri kiri.

if you, its not the best but whatever rocks your boat, i would wish the way you treat your child never come come back to hurt you later in life--correction is a part of childs upbringing , its not hatred

Good luck

JanethEze:
If my child does something bad, let the teacher tell me; the parent, and i will deal with him/her myself. Do you know how many children have died in the hands of teachers in Nigeria? Corporate punishment needs to end, many lives have been lost because of that

U heard the bible say spare the rod and spoil the child?

I don't know but you need to understand how life works here, sometimes parents cannot reprimand a child adequately and they end up bringing disgrace to the home and society at large.

I watched an episode of "desperate housewife" on ELTV and one of the wives says no one should spank the children and the children were making jest of the woman because she never spanks the kids and barred anyone fr doing that.

So I wish you the best in your ideologies but I have a child, anyday he starts school and misbehaves, the teacher should discipline appropriately.

if you go do the Arithmetic now... this money no reach 1 million naira o

modified: ok..people wey sabi maths talk say e pass..I concur.

It's well over 5b naira

1kw PV

@pharyn, the pros have spoken, MUST or Prag would work.

Also note that additional charger could be a little complicated if a techy person is not always around.

With respect to this-

My guess would be that some names may just be screened out especially te names of the governor's that gave PDP High blood pressure.

Also I am thinking that buhari had to pay some guys for their loyalty and support and most likely reshuffle his cabinet in less than 18 months, the truth is that by then, these guys would either be dropped or be redeployed to a less relevant position,

The remaining 15 states yet to be represented should be better as PMB is not under any kind of pressure again and I am thinking he will take time to bring out some better heads

mavinc4u:


value handlers rate is user what? guy, fear God now. those people's rate is like UPS and DHL rate or do you work with them?

Work with them? Lol
They charge me 4.5usd/lb -this includes shipping and clearing.
Please how much does others charge because I know shoptomydoor is no where close.

I have used rokobi and I wasn't impressed as they charge on check out even when the goods no reach.

I am open to better options

Check value handlers. I have been using them frim the USA , not bad and their rates are friendly too


You can Google dem or call this number 0 803 224 1768

Who is "Alaba Boys"? Lol


I would like to have his contact as I have a CC from a customer location I need to fix

For a 24v system, the MPPT function of the CC can work so well with 2x2 config.

I would always advice the setup not be done to the extreme to give room for re-adjustment if anything happens.

I use this TOMZN DC SPD and its been okay , not had any incident so far and to say most off my instaatuons are around Akwa aibom , Rivers state axis.

JUO:
by the time you see the quote, I mean the price only you will request for Chinese cc and battery. Even governors and senators cannot pay for what you are requesting for, not because they can't afford it but they will prefer to run generator than spending almost 10M for 6kw in the name of American and European products. I wish you success, please post pictures and spec when you are done

@Bolded above, I have had people make such request and when you give them a quote i would consider "very considerable and decent", they ask me for other alternative.

I just wonder why we think all from china or Africa is fake----"mental slavery"

JohnKester:


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.

China rules in manufacturing, over 80% of solar panels here comes from China and even batteries.

What you need is a responsive installer that would give you the best of services and achieve the desired result-A WORKING SYSTEM.

Most people here including me use chinese products and dont have issues, but if thats whats you want, okay ooo

cheers
