Actually, depends on what you call deep. The ocean is probably less than 2000 metres (2km) from Novare. 2kms of low-lying flat land is no barrier for a raging ocean. Standing less than 30 metres from the ocean, I could see Monastery, a landmark in that axis. Monastery is probably not more than 500m from the shopping mall.

Thinking about it again, it seems the mall and the immediate area including the Lekki Epe expressway sit on a small elevation, which might offer some protection. However, everything up to Monastery is very vulnerable, I think.

500m lol
See how you are confidently spewing rubbish . .
The mall to the monastery is about 3km,

are they free tutorials nd courses online (youtube,udemy,coursera,ebooks,blogs etc) on how to be a medical doctor as they are on programming nd web designing etc?
#broken analogy problem.

Yes there are medicial videos online
even some surgical procedures;
The reason why u wont find as many as u want is cos of the graphic ontent et al.

Very sweet!!!

With a 1hp LG Inverter AC, I see about 300w to 400w after 5 to 6 hours runtime.



Very true, it peaked at 800+ at startup, but eventually went down to 600+.

The other regular units are stuck at +- 1300 all through.

Omgosh, thank you so very much. This explanation is priceless.
Power is fairly constant and there is generator too but i thought of an inverter as a back up plan and limit use of generator.

Thank you once more. This will be a guide for me.

What load capacity will amount to 300W ?

i need to get batteries and inverter for someone. He basically will use it for Printer(small hp), laptop, tv,phone and a fan.

cc Makavele

At the same time?

Printer about 35w
laptop = as much as 65w when charging
fan = as much as 50 watts for standing fans * 80 watts for ceiling fans ( non energy saving ones)
phone = 5 watts
tv = as much as 150 watts even 200watts ( for non energy saving ones)

So we will work with the worst case scenario; that is about 385 watts thereabout. If you want a more precise answer;
then you must know the exact wattage of each appliance to be powered and then add a 10% extra for headroom.

You need to get this load audit right => it's critical . else the whole installation will crumble and you will
start saying "renewable energy doesn't work"

So assuming our 385watts; the next step of the calculation is how long would the items be turned on . . .

the 2nd important part of the equation => duration

Assuming 10 hours only every day => that's 385 w x 10 hr = 3,850 Wh of usage per day; You will need 2 x 200 Ah batteries to supply that load

But since you cannot use a lead acid battery past 50% of it's capacity; else they die prematurely; it means you must get double => 4 batteries

If he wants to run them for only 5 hours; reduce the batteries by half of our original case study amount i.e. 2 battries in total

If he wants to run for 20 hours; multiply the amount by 2; 8 batteries in total

The inverter shouldn't be loaded past 70% of it's capacity; so a 1000 watts inverter would work in this case . If planning future expansion, get a bigger one.

Do this and have peace of mind . . anything short of this will only work for some months and fail terribly. Trust me!

ehix89:
A system with two 200ah batteries and 1.5kva inverter. With say 300w load could give you between 15-18hrs

2×200ah = 86k
1.4kva inverter = 46k
Installation cost = 5k

1x200ah = 43k
1kva inverter = 35k
Installation cost = 5k

Brand new batts or used ?
The cheapest fakest 200Ah battery cost about 70k,
Premium is not less than 130k each
So how come 2 units for 86k?

Oga I used VirusTotal.. I told you I know the risks involved in using nulled files. I nor know why u come carry the matter for head. I know what I'm getting into Oga.... Bye

Oga calm down and learn ! You are using VirustTotal to scan a php script Is it an executable file (.exe) that you would be scanning with an antivirus.
Calm down. drink pure water and learn.
You don't even know what a Backdoor is . . and i will educate you.... Y
It is not a virus, man, instead it executes codes to the server e.g. sending login details, of server users; downloading malicious files remotely to the server and running them.
If you like use AVG, Avast, Kapersky, Nord32, ESET and all the antiviruses in the world to scan the script, it won't detect anything, because it's block of code or codes; not an executable file.
I know the risks, I know the risk, sha don;t come and open thread tomorrow and say somebody hacked your server and grabbed your database oh
I will personally pieces koboko ontop of you.

Thanks for your concern. I'm aware of this. Tho I already scanned the script for viruses and backdoor codes, I didn't find anything harmful. I'm very aware that is pose a big threat

You want me to believe you scanned the whole Xenfero package ( every single file and folder + every single line from a - z ).
And how did you achieve this? Scanning the zip file with an antivirus or by vetting every single line of code; dependency pulled, and/or ingress and egress traffic
Uhmmm !!! Super !!!!
You really do not know what you're saying.

The last Android app I did was on Android 4.4 KitKat and then we were using eclipse and Android SDK. Now I hear people use Android studio I don't think much has changed I mean there would still be things like activities and intents so I guess I can still work on Android apps

One thing about the IT world; if you don't evolve; you would be left far behind. The world now uses Android Q ( 10 ) with api level 29
so you really need a whole lot of catching up to do.
Then, you need "practical, on-hands" training in your field not "theoretical" knowledge which Nigerian schools are renowned for.
Finally, your tag "JPA, JDBC, JAX WS, JAX RS, JSP, Java Servlets" will not help you.
Instead, employers will run away because they will class you as a "breeze the surface" kinda person.
Choose one technology; and kill yourself there. You cannot be many things at the same time.

If I get you correctly, you want people to be able to comment as anonymous users (hence, no name, or email or personal data shown)

A more efficient way to is to have an "Anonymoust Post?" tag for each post that will store as Yes or No in the db.

For the logic, you can just check to see if user has clicked the checkbox to "post as anonymous".

If yes, then replace username, name, email or any private data with e.g. Anonymous User , empty string, default predefined strings, etc; based on your customization.

Then when this post is sent to the db for storage, you can tag the Anonymoust Post? as "Yes" or "No" depending on if it was or not.

I am seeing figures like 3-5M+ in my head right now grin

The batteries alone is 1m+

I wouldn't put an exact price on it.

the charge controller cost #220,000
the red inverter is a 5,000 watt one and can handle 2 air conditioning units: #250,000
you can add 2 + 2 to do the maths.

my location had issues with phcn years ago and phcn disconnected the transformer for months . . the noise and cost of fuel was too much
so the setup was done in mind to replace phcn in its totality (i.e. power the whole house; just like phcn); no item excluded. I am only at 75% or so.

What do you mean solar, you mean there is another panel outside?

I mentioned 3kw ( of solar power) . In details i have 20 panels of 150watt each producing 3kwp of power. but in reality i get only about 1500 watts instantaneous power due to bad weather conditions here; but still enough to charge the batteries, power 2 freezers, 4 TVs, washing machine, sound system, light, fan, every freaking thing * when the sun is up *

If you take a look at the internet router; just below it, is the solar charge controller.

The batteries on the other hands come to play when the sun is out . .say from 6pm or so. Not in the image though; but there are
16 units of 12v 100ah which gives me 19,200 Watt hours of storage (well half of it for max longevity).. . enough to carry those loads i mentioned overnight without sweating ( minus the washing machine and some TVs . every other thing stays )

That's a more detailed explanation.

javascript can interact directly with hardwares but php cannot. alternatively you can change the topic to fingerprint capturing and verification using JavaScript and php

Not entirely true;
In some custom cases, php can interact with hardware such as:
using custom php-extension developed in the C language;
programming on an Arduino board

Well; it's just no fun at all.
