Please what size of charge controller will I need for 5 Felicity Solar Panels of 540watts.

Would it be safe to call this 2.7Kw system?

Running at what system voltage? 24, 48 or 72v system?

Broskyjames:
It's not better than Gotok and $1 card creation fee is a smoke screen.$3 is the minimum amount for card creation, where one $1 is charged for the Card creation itself. Subsequent topping of the card will attract a $1 fee if the amount is less than $100 or 1% if above $100. Now tell me, how is this remotely better than Gotok?.

Nothing comes close to Gotok for now in the Virtual Dollar Card space and i do sincerely hope they find a new card issuer if not, one is better off getting a dollar Prepaid card or Dom account from these banks than these slavery gag that these fintechs are offering. Trust me, it's way less hassle.

The terrible reviews on PlayStore made me not to bother downloading the app

How can I easily chat with real human as customer care rep on AliExpress please ?

Bypassing EVA in AliExpress Customer Care

Go to Account > Services > Help Centre > Online Service


1) type "Pay" in EVA
2) choose "Incorrect payment value"
3) choose "extra money was asked by seller"
4) click "NO" on cancel order
5) click "chat with an agent now"

And chat away

Agreed.

The Powmr is good for someone who is just starting his journey in solar and wants to keep entry costs low while learning the ropes

But my reason for comparing was, how does this compare with what I already have?

Should I take the plunge?

Does the cost benefit ratio make sense?

Finally having benefitted immensely from the wealth of knowledge on this thread, I was obligated to pay it forward

I will do a similar thing between the 1.5KVA Homaya Home that I already have and the new 3 kW/4 kW/6kW Homaya Pro that was introduced sometime in July 2022

Ok, that point makes sense. This thread is so rich in knowledge. Keep sharing.

FEGEITOK:


I have used the Powmr for a while. But I think the Homaya is better documented and has more features and capabilities.

Based on the specs alone, I think it is a good buy

That's almost 3x the cost of PowMr. With that much difference in cost, if it doesn't have more capabilities, then it doesn't make sense to get it.

FEGEITOK:
Yesterday the gods put me in a dungeon and I had to reach out to several of their high priests otherwise I would be out of commission till tomorrow.

Thankfully the several high priests I reached out to were able to save me and put me back in service

So I will complete the rest of the review in picture format

Maximum PV withstanding voltage for Powmr is 160 volts but the company itself warns not to run it at that rate for long because it will break the controller.

So I would say that figure is not to be relied upon

At 200 volts max PV withstanding voltage, Homaya has better capacity.

What's the cost difference?

Good morning, good people. Please, I need your inputs on the best configuration I can employ to install 16 units of 100w solar panels with a 24v smarten hybrid inverter.

I really need your inputs on this. Kindly help a brother.

Inverter specification: 2.5kva/24v
Maximum panel wattage: 1,500
Maximum pv voltage: 85v
Maximum battery current: 50Amp.

You can connect all the panels. Connect 2 in series so you will have 6 panels in parallel @ 44v total voltage

THE SHOP NAMED "HIGH TIP MOBILE_BRAND ORIGINAL PHONE STORE" IS A STORE YOU SHOULD AVOID SHOPPING WITH. THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT CUSTOMER SATISFACTION!

I BOUGHT AN LG PHONE V60 THINQ 5G PHONE FROM THEM, BEFORE PLACING MY ORDER, I CHATTED WITH THE SELLER ASKING FOR A PROPER CHECK TO BE CARRIED OUT ON THE DEVICE AND ALSO, I NEED A SMARTPHONE WITHOUT SCRATCHES. I WAS ASSURED BY THE SELLER THAT ALL MY REQUEST WILL BE ATTENDED TO AND I PLACED THE ORDER.

And they've been at AliExpress since 2011 with great reviews except for some pure 1 star review that shows the seller is actually fraudulent.

My people here's the shop link so you guys can avoid

@OP Don't close your dispute until AliExpress wades in. Upload your picture and video evidence.

What happened to the old monica?

Nicols:


Stil trying to understand this lifepo4 ba3. How much can I get a lifepo4 that can match up with 2.5kva inverter?

How much first depends on the following:


1) the capacity of lifepo4 battery you want, is it 75ah, 100ah, 150ah, 200ah, 220ah, 280ah, 320ah etc?

2) the number of lifepo4 cells you buy which is dependent on your inverter dc voltage such as 12v, 24v, 48v inverter system.

3) the make of the lifepo4, eg freestyle lifepo4 aka "anything you see, take", CATL, Eve, Lishen, REPT, etc

4) the grade of the lifepo4, there is grade A, B and C

5) the condition of the lifepo4; is it new or used or fairly used.

Lifepo4 is a just a battery chemistry with more number of cycles and higher energy density compared to the old school lead acid battery.

But if you don't want to bother your head with all these, there is a nairalander that is doing well in selling good quality lifepo4.

Blackelonmusk:
please what shipping company did you use and how long did it take?

I used Nonikings then, in Dec 2021. It took about 3 months via sea.

Kaceman:


Ok thank you
But I no dey use dem na to sell

It's always awesome to be known as the guy that sells authentic products

Kaceman:


Good evening sir
Abi you don order from the store before and how dey speaker be the sound quality and speaker build
Also how long you been get am

To ensure you're getting the real deal when shopping online, especially for items made in China but owned by an American company, it's important to do your research. Compare prices on websites like Amazon and eBay with the prices on AliExpress. If the AliExpress prices are a fraction of the others, it's likely a red flag. Additionally, check the store's ratings and when they started business. A store that opened this year with a 5-star rating is not necessarily better than one that opened in 2018 with a 4.8 rating. Read reviews of other products sold by the store, too. If the store is selling fake JBL earbuds, for example, it's unlikely that their JBL Bluetooth speaker is real.

If you don't want to take the risk, it's best to buy in person from a store like Ikeja Shopping Plaza, where you can see the item you're buying and be sure of its authenticity.


And to answer the last question, no, I did not buy from them. Things bought in AliExpress usually take between 10 days to 4 weeks to get to Nigeria.

IAmRoot:


How please, can you give me run down?

1) Contact the seller to make sure the item you are interested in is exactly what you want. Ask any questions you may have regarding specifications, warranties, etc.

2) Negotiate the price of the goods.

3) Have the seller ship the item to a shipper in China.

4) Agree on the shipping fee to your shipper; it is usually more cost-effective to have the item shipped directly to the shipper rather than to yourself.

5) Your shipper will take care of the rest of the shipping process to you in Nigeria, including any customs duties that may be applicable.

6) Depending on the shipping method chosen, wait between 90 to 120 days for sea shipping or 5 to 15 days for air shipping.

Lucasinho:



Via Binance is more cheaper

Yeah

Olamak1:


You have to create a new card: select the home button and click on the + sign at the top of your current card and you'll see the new options....
You can easily see the naira rate /$ when you add dollar amount to purchase.

Just saw it now.

Gotok is doing well

SUPERPACK:
You will only be caught by CBN if you are careless to add any crypto related term on the remarks for any transactions. Do not state that you are paying for crypto in your transaction remarks, terms like busd, trx, bnb etc

Just copy and paste ONLY reference number. Not hard, but trust some Nigerian buyers to add "payment for BUSD" in their reference

Kennyflyair:

Abeg at what rate will I be buying dollars worth this method? Is it significantly cheaper?

Check Binance P2P for BUSD/₦ exchange rate. Not fixed.

ceejay80s:

Can't I fund gotok with my gtb debit card?

Open an account with binance. Then use GTB naira card to buy BUSD on the P2P on Binance. Go to gotok and fund it with Binance Pay

Olamak1:


There is option to fund Gotok virtual dollar card with naira now through bank transfer, but I still prefer the Binance funding.

Where is the option located? As I can only see the following options attached?

What's the naira rate to $?

yungrylex00:

Please suggest an app I can use

You can try gotok. But you'll need to sign up on Binance as that's where you can buy BUSD to be used to fund the Gotok

yungrylex00:
I want to order from aliexpress please can someone suggest a good and reliable person that can assist in the payment

It's easier you learn to make your own payment. Not exactly rocket science

Has anyone used a PIPO laptop or product here before. I saw their laptops on Aliexpress and I was wondering if it could be a nice product.

Nothing nice about it

Goodnuel:
Sorry o. At least, i was able to use mine two days ago.

And they couldn't tell you... I am sure they know that using the card online is the only reason why you came for it. 😁

Well, Gotok got ma back

Goodnuel:
Na wa. Card i just collected last week.

Collected mine today

What type of Android phone will work with this App Sir?
From what I've noticed, not all Android phone work with it because it doesn't work with Tecno pova. Download and open for the first time and refuse to open subsequently unless I uninstall and install again.

Oh, I don't use Tecno. I use Google Pixel running on Android 13. I think other android should be able to run it. Maybe try it on other non Tecno android.
