Update like I said still studying the system. Used to bathroom today to test the run time of the heater.
Thanks for all the inputs the results are.

Bathroom 1 . Hot water was consumed more from this heater (wife and kids). Time used to reheat completely 25 mins.

Bathroom 2. Hot water consumed less. Only me. Time to reheat took about 15 mins.
To my people for house I bow and I am humbled.

Go home son; and sin no more !!!

Rihsabmohd:
so u are telling me he didn't press a button before the generator started

I don't understand you . . . You are quoting the wrong person, pls check well

Rihsabmohd:
i just don't understand you, so law can't be broken or what, in the history of mankind people make law and later on what happens the law is subjected to correction and modifications, what was the first assumption about atom, what happened to Dalton's atomic theory it was modified, so u can't say no device can get something from nothing, who made the laws of thermodynamics,they are humans of course they made the law based on their knowledge. If wind turbines were invented in Nigeria I'm sure this is how u will argue blindly

Laws cannot be broken; they can only be bent !!!

But verily verily I say unto you . . . the laws of energy cannot be broken nor bent . .

It will result to futility and drive you insane if you dare try to

DUNKA:
You mean it only takes 3 minutes to get boiling water?

That was highly exaggerated ; but for the fun of it, I guess.

boiz2men:
Fuel less doesn't mean no energy input.. It means the energy isnt from fuel. Isn't solar fuelless

Olodo rabata . .

Solar is energy from the sun and that is the fuel . .

Fuel is anything that can produce energy . . . Google is your friend

"Fuel"; termed directly in quotes, is not what you buy at the filling station . . That one is called petrol (and is a type of fuel)

So you see ; nothing called a fueless generator . .

There must be a primary source of energy for the generator to start its duty . .

either by gasoline (petrol); diesel, water, battery, pushing it , pulling it

throwing it from a storey building, jumping on it . .and whatever . .

the fact is that, something must be done, or added before a generator would start

it can't just start on its own accord out of nothing.

So many f00ls and olodos on Nairaland and funniest thing, they would never agree that they are olodos . .

One mumu was asking "is your hand fuel"...

The typical nigerian thinks fuel is only that combustible liquid you buy at petrol stations . . .

Common . . that is called gasoline (petrol) and is only a type of fuel . . .

kerosene , diesel, gas are also types of fuel . .

Amala and ewedu, eba , beans are also types of fuel

Anything you can ignite, combust, eat or drink , that produces heat and gives you the ability to do work is called a fuel . . .

So back to that mumu, when you spin the motor with your hands, your hands are doing the mechanical work (fuelling) the motor( or rotor as

some call it) .. to produce little electrical currents i.e. mechanical energy converted into electrical energy

if u connect a light bulb, if there is enough force in your hands, it lights up . . that one more conversion into light energy

if you touch the bulb, it gets hots after a while . . another conversion into heat energy . . .

after a while you get tired and your hands a start to ache . .

so you drink water or glucose to replenish your strength (or refill your energy bar)

and we are back to square one . . .

since June 21 till Dec 10

I hail oh

Dmedalion:
tell him...used the two days unlimited on my device...used up 120GB

Don't mind them . . . i wonder why ppl would be posting what they are not sure of.

I use over 100 GB per week and I am on the weekly plan . . . will continue to be . . .

The network is pretty stable for me and I like it so.

4llerbuntu:
I don't know. They refused to tell me.

But since monthly is 90gb, can't be more than 20gb

I am on weekly plan and I 've used past 20GB already.. . . Netflix comes on from 8am till 1am everyday . . .

Once again, its unlimited.

The only thing is I think they would increase the price from say 3750 to 4500 or thereabouts too sooner or later

4llerbuntu:
Those plans can't be unlimited bros.

They are unlimited . . I confirmed !!!

Clearly a 1 HP

Fogman:
Items 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 11 and 13 gone.

I don dey ask you #5 for long . .

Pity my condition, bros

Thanks

Penuelseun:
What is the wattage of your TV?

I wonder

Maybe 1800 Watts . . .

Fogman:

ezeagumar11:
The worst part is that today a Sars man seized my iPhone and they drove off with him. I'm sick right now, don't know how to trace them

Find my iPhone ... will show current location as long as it was turned on; and the sim has network connectivity

and if the sim is swapped, it should lock i.e. if you activated icloud lock . . .

gives you enough time to know where exactly your phone is

KreativGenius:
[s]1. Standard rule, don't let the base of your battery rest on bare ground[/s]

2. Don't let it run down before you turn it off



Do this, and it's pronto !

That's a myth and it's false !!!

Whether its on bare ground, cemented ground, tiles, carpet or whatever ; has nothing to do with battery capacitance/discharge rate sir !

Do not post false/unverified myths sir

KreativGenius:
Take out the AC, on a 350-400k budget, you can have good stuff it should serve 10 hours before discharge ! But with 400k,you're good !

It will not serve 10 hours before discharge !!

Expect a whole world of disappointment if you believe so.

On his budget; it will serve only 3 to 3.5 hours b4 discharge

Thanks

HITTED:
I'm really curious to know which particular inverter can serve one for 3 days with all home appliances in full use.

There are . . . An inverter system can be designed to last 2 weeks on the whole appliances in your street . . without depleting . .

Like he explained to you; there's a calculation of the power needs first before the purchase.

1f for example 1 battery last me for 5 hours' if i buy 50 batteries = 50 x 5 = 250 hours . .

if it lasts me for 3 days; 50 batts will be 50 x 3 days = 150 days

so it depends on my pocket strength too? Do i really have the money for such a huge amount of batteries ( panels etc.?)

If my total power needs for 1 week is 500kwH; and i design a system of 50000kwH;

I hope you know it would last me 1 week x 100 = 500 weeks

You get the drift?

1st calculate your power needs; 2nd design the system . .

But be careful, cos designing a system to power lots of loads for days = hefty millions of naira . .

israelpalatoe:
A trial will surely convince you. In terms of reliablity and durability, I can only talk for my products. We are doing our best. I can assure you that the only difference between our products and the popular foreign brands is the packaging.
I also know other Nigerian producers that are doing very well.
We have all the functions of a standard and quality inverter installed in our inverters. We are improving and using our resources to learn more technologies.

We were formerly using analog design.....later we started buying digital boards from foreigners ....Now we manufacture the boards and write the codes that runs them. We are improving...... We need you ........ You can trust us!

trust you to incinerate me in my sleep; no way!

what he asked you is what i shall reiterate . . .

take 1 of your units; and do a physical review and/or teardown

upload the video on Youtube; paste the link here

and let us review the technicalities . .

That isn't too much to ask for; is it?

070 NTEL LIVE isn't going though. What other numbers do you have?

0700 NTEL LIVE

and call during business hours

Has anyone encountered an issue were by your account will be debited but your mifi isn't credited and it's not reversed?

I tried subscribing for 1 month Ntel plan through Ntel web and my account got debited but it still not connecting.

Saipro:
I do not quite understand what you mean by the words in bold.

can we see snapshots of your speed; sir/ma ?

Dam5reey:
Just wanted to be sure you saw it..

Swerve; man !!!

abunafiu:
Oga makavieli.. .dont mind me.

Kindly stop these arguments. We are all learning.

I think the MAKAVIELI in you is the reason you don't wanna put the matter rest.. . Abeg oooo

One love.

The Heavens knew I did put it to rest not until our brother came to disturb me again with mentions . . .

Kove:
In the first place Voc and Isc should not be used to calculate the power output of solar panels. They are safety specifications, for the safety of the solar panels or your setup. So using them to calculate power output is misleading. Always use Vmp and Imp when making your calculations.

2. As rightly said by someone, the intensity of the sun matters

3. Most of the solar panels and charge controllers that come to Nigeria are overrated. The truth is they will hardly ever deliver up to 75% of their rated capacity. Eg if you buy a 3KVA stabiliser or generator, please don't use it to power more than 2KVA equipment or 1.5kW if you no want make e spoil

4. Lest I forget, if you want to measure actual power being delivered to your house, please use a multimeter and measure at the point between charge controller and panels when the batteries are empty and just started charging(and not when they are already getting full because the batteries will not draw maximum power when they are getting full and you might not be able to tell the real power capacity of your panels)

So to answer your question at rated illumination of 1000W/m2, please hope for 75% max power. If you get 75% with equipment bought in 9ja, guy you don hammer. 80% and above, hmmm, no comments but e go hard, real hard. And don't rely on peak power always average over some minutes even if it is 3 - 5 minutes

A man who knows his onions !!!!

Dam5reey:
This another confirmation @ makavele more than 6 confirms Argument closed..

Now I know where to check sun intensity...

People should stop using Chinco products performance to make conclusions..

If a US brand make a product 1.2kw they will rate it to 1kw
But Chinco will rate a 500w products to be 1kw...

I will just save more to get Victron charge controller jejeli

You nor see "It's just a flash" for there abi . . eyes dey pain you man
If i tear you something . . .

bigrovar:
Let's watch how we talk to each other. Let's watch our language and explain our point with respect. You made a major goof about current flow between charger battery and load yet no one called you names we all took time to explain and correct your misconception. No one knows it all. The pride of this thread is that we manage to build a brotherhood, an oasis from the general ceaspet of insult and hate that NL can be. Let's maintain the decorum.

1stly . . i didn't even type the bolded at first; until something rather, somebody made me laugh so hard; i had to come back and type it . .
I apologize

2ndly, that was no major goof; cos like pranil said and I stand with him; it depends on how the whole thing is wired.
and like my other colleague said . . its' more of blind men feeling an elephant . . to each own his own interpretation . . .

3rdly, i have never claimed to be Mr Know it All or Mr Sell-it-All

4thly, The pride of this thread is that we put a stop to the 'asslicking' and "virtual genuflecting" and stick to knowledge distribution in a formal manner; as it is with other foreign RE forums

And i take no pride in saying it; this thread was practically dead and heavily commercialized; and too familiarized ; until I came through with my tough controversy; which would definitely hurt some of y'all's pride . . . but at the end of the day, we all take 1 or 2 things home. . .

Thankx
