INSPECTORMAX:
I need to clarify this important point for accuracy.

My original requirement from the start was a 15kWh battery, specifically LVTOPSUN, which is why I independently confirmed market pricing for the LVTOPSUN 15kWh unit before payment. I did not request a 16kWh factory-assembled battery, nor was pricing for a factory-fitted 16kWh option discussed with me prior to payment.

The discussion around a locally assembled battery arose when I was advised that it would provide “full” usable capacity compared to LVTOPSUN, which informed my decision at the time. My concern remains about whether all material trade-offs were clearly explained before that recommendation.

For accuracy, the image of the battery was shared a day before installation, after full payment had already been made, not earlier in the procurement stage. There was therefore no opportunity for a meaningful review or reconsideration of options at that point.

I'm enjoying my device here at Irhirhi road in Benin City, it's a truly great experience, there was a little downtime today and an SMS was sent to apologize and service was restored quite fast, and an SMS was sent to inform me also. The only thing is that you can't get service when you go out, but that doesn't bother me as I'm a homebody and only go out when necessary, and in that situation, I buy data on my phone

Good day house, my account officer just reached me that they be deducting the 10% WHT on interest from my previous TB investment on maturity following the firs memo

This is rather unfair for previous investment

finebois:
Good morning house
Please lithium battery has good quality, and last for years between Pylontech, Lvtopsun, and Felicity.

I am thinking of getting a 10kwh or 15kwh battery to replace my 4 tubular battery, and I don't know which brand to go for. I want something that will give me peace of mind and value for money.

My load is two freezer during day and from 10pm to 6am, and light during the night

Odunharry:
You are suppose to request for your certificate of investment. That's the proof that you actually invested with any company

justasitis:
It’s still ok, the voltage difference is negligible since the panels will be connected in series. And to ensure that the hole won’t expand further, you need to apply a suitable glue to cover the hole.

justasitis:
Tell the installer to read the punctured panel with a multimeter and compare the reading with the other panels. That will tell you the condition of the punctured panel, then you can apply a 4-minute gum to cover the punctured hole if the meter reading is the same with the remaining panels..

emmasoft:
With the way inflation numbers are going, expect lower rates everywhere across all fixed income-related investment windows, but DON'T STOP INVESTING, you can only change strategy, don't stop if you still want to win in this investment game

Risingcash94:
I have never experienced this with GTB. I always use them

Risingcash94:
Woa! Is this not too much? Almost #50k for management fee and VAT? Pls which bank is this?

ICEWIN:
Please what app are u using to invest

emma2002:
It's usually on the profit or interests made

Odunharry:
I know some banks charge some other fee and don't take WHT.
I know few asset mgt that charge only statutory WHT.

You see those Color codes eh, could make one look stewpid on site. e don tey me don learn to dey always verify wires even if the color say na LIVE.

Even if you bought your materials yourself, dem fit still ignore using them as required OR even help you THIEF them.

As for supervision, most times, I sabi do ma thing myself and even when I need pay for such service, naturally I loke to watch work being done hence no room for anyHowNess. it's part of how I became above good in lots of things including brickLaying and block moulding.

A lot of Us go dey do OGA while these lazy lots go dey spoil thing for person. Me go follow you stand, dey gist, even dey do boyBoy (assistant) for you. Some people fit even follow you dey there BUT don't have a clue of what's going on, Me go ensure you do am as I want even in situation wey I no really get much clue - lots of things in LIFE na commonSense.

At end of the day, if things ain't properly DONE, na YOU (the customer) go enjoy the WAHALA hence I ensure I am OKAY with what you doing even if it resorts to arguments; I fit even walk you out if e go that far.
I let them know Me sef sabi do am. me wey sabi Mould block, sabi cement mixing ratios, na me sef supervise entire Building of my houses after the one wey I give people wey I think say na building company collapse enter foundation despite overSupply all that was required. Them sabi package dem Selves so as to suck money out of you.
Even the drawings, na me do am sef and If you see the things wey I do, you go think say na plenty Professionals join hand do am. At end of the day, you get HIGH QUALITY at LOWER COST

Odunharry:
Lol rate shopping. Decline in Tbills rate compared to last year and early this year etc

mank1234:
...due to lack of moderation.

It's unfortunate because this thread can easily be found through random search by anyone than the telegram group. Imagine finding this as a newbie, one person will then advice you to buy used panel of 300W, used standalone systems, bare aluminium wires, to mount your panels directly on roof, buy 100 tanks for storing water so you won't use your inverter to pump water for a year
Truly we see life through our own eyes.

Just like in naija politics, the obstinate and intolerant vocal ones intimidate and harass everyone, and proselytise their ideas. While the people who have what to offer disappear.

A305:
I infact did justice to your earlier question by painting a broader picture.

To outline each:

For point Number 1

When government raises enough tax, it doesn’t need to borrow recklessly. And if it doesn't borrow, No pumping money into the economy, meaning prices of commodities will not raise and in simple answer, No inflation or presence of minimal healthy inflation. So yes. Efficient Taxation reduces inflation. Keyword here is "Efficient Taxation".


For point Number 2.

A healthy vibrant economy don't need
FPI to stabilize FX, rather what the economy needs is FDI to create jobs and multiplier effects in economy hence that in itself will boost the economy, reduce inflation and strengthen the currency.

ask4bk:
The answer is that it can. Once you parallel batteries, the amps drawn are shared among them. If he draws 300a and both have 150a bms, it'll work well safely if the battery manufacturer confirms that cells can discharge at 1C.

As you rightly questioned, he'll wires that can safely carry each 150a (35mm). And if he plans to use combiner busbar, it must be rated 300a, and cable from busbar to inverter must be rated for 300a (95mm) and then inverter must be rated to take in 300a, most of these being unlikely 🙆🏾‍♂️🙆🏾‍♂️🙆🏾‍♂️🙆🏾‍♂️.

But yes it can.

mctfopt:
It'd theoretically double.

What exactly are you powering to want to do this?

My battery maximum draw is 200A. Don't think I've ever drawn more than 70A from it

mctfopt:
No, you won't as you cant draw more than 150A from the BMS.

Two batteries in parallel is still 12.8v nominal. So in this case you can't get to draw more than 150A, but your backup hours for load under 150A draw will surely double.

mctfopt:
No, you can't do that.

The highest current the BMS can handle is 150A.

This is a 12.8v nominal battery.

12.8 X 150 = 1920 watts.

You can only draw more than 1920w if this battery allows connection in series. Eg you can draw twice that wattage ie 12.8x2 = 25.6v. Multiply by 150A will give you 3840 watts.

This is the reason most people run bigger loads at higher inverter system voltage ie 48v and above.

In industrial system we have Deye that can run up to 800v battery.and above. At that level even with a 100A BMS that's an incredible amount of power.

litaninja:
the 2%, wetin you wan use am do gangan?

FerrariBaron:
Please guys, i was uncertain which 5kwh to go for between:
* Deye 5kwh 48v rack mounted which i saw for 1.1m.
* TBB 5kwh 48v which i saw for 1.15m
* Lvtopsun which i saw someone on tiktok carry out a capacity test and it did well.

I was also thinking of settling for the 5kwh 48v lvtopsun lithium battery, but i dont know if the lvtopsun inverter is good which i was going to settle for the 5kwh 48v because its around the same price with the growatt 3.6kwh 48v, or if it is advisable to settle for the growatt 3.6kva 48v, but any professional input from the group is welcome.

And please how many panels of around 550 watts will be right for the setup?

Elizkid:
It used it be like that here too until lithium batteries with harvested cells (Grade B) started flooding the market.

Lithium batteries with grade A are still dang expensive, albeit a little more affordable now.

Grade B batteries will serve you almost as good as Grade A, since it's for home energy storage. They don't need to deliver high humongous current as they with heavy machineries in companies where they were previously used.
