Ayomipoe:
Hello Snr Men and Women, I have a dilemma. I have a small 1.5KWh System and a 1kva hybrid SMS 12v inverter rated for a max pv of 600w. However, I do not have any solar panels because my landlord has refused to grant permission. My question is, has anyone tried placing panels on the ground and what was the outcome of the experience?

I was looking at going for foldable solar panels from EcoFlow, but looking at the cost comparison, a 550w Jinko panel costs far less than 160w Ecoflow.

Thank you!

Try using it as a window awning design

Is the SRNE wired as three phase or single phase? This location can say bye bye to NEPA, or whatever they call themselves now. Good job

Hey guys pls I need advise on how to get a trusted dealer for solar kits in Lagos or Benin .
I want one luminous batters tubular 220ah or any good Batery brand .
Felicity 2.5kva inverter
250 watts Canadian panel . 4
Felicity charge controller 60amps
Wires 6mm

Since you want one tubular battery, I don't think you'll use a 2.5kva inverter, that size will ultimately require you use more batteries to make sense for required capacity (2.5kva) that you need. What I'll suggest is to get a 24v system, instead of the 12v system you have in mind, and change the batteries to lithium batteries, there are cheaper alternative in the same price range, like the proposed tubular batteries, such as those lithium 12v batteries that you can series made by Taico and PowMr sold locally in Nigeria

WARNING!!!
Selina Li of Shenzhen Deriy New Energy Technology, I'm giving you between today and and Friday this week to refund my shipping fees.
If I do not receive my money on or before Friday this week, I will drop a negative review in your Alibaba page. I will also expose your dubious lifestyle to all the solar forums.
I bought cells from you. You told me you have an agent that ship your cells to Nigeria. I paid for the shipping fees you asked me to pay.
When the cells finally arrived Nigeria, you refused to send the money to the shipper on time. To avoid further delay, I had to pay the shipper and collect my goods.
You later told me to send the payment receipt to you so that you can make a refund and I did.
For over a year now, you have been turning me upsidedown.
I've saved all our private chats and I will forward them all.......

Has this been resolved?

It's that bad. I did a return last year or so. If not for the relationship with the people in charge and the State head, would have lost everything cuz IMPC kept returning the package for one flimsy excuse or the other, and this returns were after pressure from my PO for tracking number update. All these took about 4 months. Eventually, I asked them to return the package and forfeit the shipping fee of about 10k. At least, I had my package back.

The one I did after COVID got to China in 6 months but update didn't get to last mile. Lost package, though the return was due to custom duty, so, I didn't pay for return fee.

So, for me, return via NIPOST/EMS if you're not in Lagos and have connect to follow up on your shipment till it's out of the country, is a NO-NO. Also, as packages de miss for IMPC here, so also for China (my post-COVID shipment experience).

Ok. Thanks for this update

jboixxx:
Except he's posting from Lagos, it not, he should not try NIPOST or EMS. He'll lose his money and the item being returned. NIPOST of those years isn't the same of this year! My 1kobo.

Wow! Is it that bad now?

SaintUlot:


Seller paid for the shipping?

Nah, I paid for it. Both ways.

Please, still asking for what courier can be used to send a phone back to china?
Trying not to use the overly expensive ones...does speedaf work for this?

Your best bet is NIPOST EMS, then try DHL too.

I've used NIPOST to return a Xiaomi phone in 2016.

In 2021 I used DHL to return a DJI drone.

Speedaf don't post packages back to China, unless they've changed. It is a one-way movement.

Bb007:
Why is the payment increasing per year?isn't it more preferable for customers to pay more in the first years and less as the system ages

With Tinubu on the throne, you'd be surprised that the "smaller" pay may actually be worth more than the bigger pay as the year progresses. $ could be @₦9000/$ on third year

This looks nice. Add a thicker insulation eg shrink wrap around it for further insulation. Well done.

vincentont:
Please I want to ask why is Alibaba shipping more expensive than AliExpress?

AliExpress handles it ; a benefit of bulk purchase. At Alibaba individual sellers handle shipping, so they may also add some profit on the shipping. Hence its best to use third party shipper.

Dam5reey1:


These panels are relabeled, there is Jinkos and the likes that you could have got at similar price.

Anyways, you can check each panel if they output aligned the the Sticker, they should all be in series.
6s2p will also work.

6mm if okay

Was about to say same. I hate Nigerians who relabel solar panels just to make sales. It makes a nonsense of the spec sheet. Best way to have an idea of the true VoC is to measure the voltage during peak sunshine with zero shadow on the solar panels and with the solar panels squarely facing the sun.

Ijeoma660:


It's quite sad.

Check your NIMC app, there are chances you have an unrecognized mobile number linked to your NIN.

Go to where they sell SIM by your street corner, they still sell registered SIM cards codedly.

I'm speaking from experience.

I have Mymtn app. No unrecognised number linked to my NIN. If there is, I'll unlink it. Life no suppose hard

Sorry about your loss, scammers have a penchant of putting up random pictures of people in their DP to seem genuine. Yet to see a scammer with the real picture on their DP. It's part of the low IQ "format". In other words, this image has a very likely chance of being a picture culled from net.

Thank you for dropping his contacts, though these dudes don't find it difficult to get another number to continue their scamming job. With all our NIN, BVN, National ID, etc scammers and kidnappers are still having a field day making calls with numbers that can't be traced.

Nigeria is a country that is unique in the sense that things here JUST DON'T WORK.

futurenix:


That is what I can't explain but one of these added over 50 counts and the other over 100 counts. The CC there is cycle count if I am correct.

I have no other explanation than it being in that heated vehicle cause since then their counting has been normal

I doubt storage temperature increases cycle count. Your display may have malfunctioned due to high temperature. The cycle count may likely be "audio" as in audio money

Davide007:


Please let all be careful with @wilmaria14 he never delivered my battery neither did he refund for almost 3 weeks now

His offer definitely looks too good to be true. Sorry for the loss

Sadeeqdikkko:
This has been stuck here for a while now without any updates....anyone else facing the same? It's aliexpress standard shipping, singapore post

Patience. It'll move. I have one SG post tracking that hasn't moved since 14th. I'm not bothered.

Olamak1:


Exactly!
....and they have no business with logistics delay (from experience) – delivery alway on time!

It works for them no need to change it

I was called this morning to come pick this package at the post office..
21 days Total. Fastest Nipost shipping I've experienced. Custom clearance started August 19. I was surprised when I received the call today

Anker loves NIPOST. Every of their products I got came through NIPOST

Compliant:


Now I understand

Atached below is the one they gave me as direct Belgium that I refused to buy because I believe it’s also fake


Please how much is the original Chint

Just buy Chint. Leave ABB alone as most are fake too, and when original may have been used for too long. Nothing beats a new breaker.

Compliant:
@mctfopt and others

Please I want to confirm if the attache do is fake or not

The breaker got bad some days ago and all electrical shop I ask around said they don’t have this product and I refused to buy any other type.

On reading some post by mctfopt about fake breaker, I decided to feel the Schneider logo and the thing just remove

See attached

What's on the other side of the breaker?

Edited: It's fake. Buy Chint. Leave Schneider as only very few authentic Schneider MCB is available for sale in Nigeria. Authentic Schneider doesn't come cheap too. Got a quote for MCCB 250A for around $170. I no fit shout. The fake version retails for ₦35k in Naija

lolz, if u follow most reviews on Aliexpress, u will not buy anything

I dey follow o. It has prevented my buying a dud several times. I do read reviews.

Ooreofegrace:
Run ooo.. Run.. My 50 kobo advice

This is the reason I don't usually read reviews from Nigerians on AliExpress. It often lacks depth. I often see things like these as reviews "Just received the package after 3 months, next time use SPEEDAF. Yet to open it, will review it after I've used it". Review done 4 months ago. No further review. No nothing. Just vibes

Diamondroyal:


Thanks so much for this.
Please how do I contact a 3rd party shippers on Alibaba because I have gone to check Alibaba and I found the price of the item cheaper but the shipping fee for the item was crazy. as in crazy and if I am to ship it on AliExpress it is going to be free under CHOICE orders.

Diamondroyal:

Dear all ,
Please I need an advise on what to do concerning my next shipping from aliexpress.

Before now , I have been shipping items for my personal use.So far so good, except cases where the logistics company was NIPOST but with Speedaf very good.

I would like to ship a kitchen item this time around but in more quantities that is going to come in like 2 cartons of a 40 items worth like $200
Please, is there anything I need to specially do for this or anything I need to look out for.
Should I contact the seller before my order and also can I tell the seller and insist that my order should be shipped through SPEEDAF.
Thank you and waiting for suggestions.

Check Alibaba and use third party shippers for shipping. AliExpress is great for small packages purchases. Eg I made payment for an item and paid $162 with shipping from AliExpress. Same package is sold $119 in Alibaba. Imagine if I'm buying it many, it'll be in my best interest to buy in Alibaba. I know this price difference before deciding to buy in AliExpress as I don't want to contact third party shippers for an item weighing less than a kg. If I'm to ship heavy items (up to 250kg) I'll do that via third party shippers. And unfortunately, when I saw the tracking number it's following the NIPOST snail post.

Also most shipping is not handled by sellers in AliExpress, rather shipping is done by AliExpress. In Alibaba, you 100% decide who ship your package.

FYI: Be wary of people asking you to chat them up. People with useful info usually publicly shares it here

dollarnaira:


You so da*t that the more you do this the more hatred NL have for you. It is bc no one patronizes hence your actions. Only fo*ls will patronize you.

You have to be new here to contact this "fast marketer"

I don't even bother with his posts here. Always scrolls past it without reading every time he posts it which is EVERY TIME

Hausa:
Some stores have varying types:
TFT, Amoled, Original.

The TFT (with frame) is like $23.
The Amoled and Original is in the $40+ range.
Some are selling for 50+.

Amoled is a better option.

I dunno if I'm late, but with this type of load, your best bet is to get lithium battery. The lithium can tolerate 1C discharge and more. Lead acid battery can not do that and remain the same.

iCauseTrouble:
Please, is there a way to test for bad / fault battery in an inverter system? I noticed that my battery bars in my inverter drops from 4 bars to 3 bars immediately it stops charging or when light is taken.
The batteries are less than a week old.
Also, is there a way to confirm the genuineness or authencity of batteries?

What is the type of battery you got? Share pic.
