Thanks, it's been resolved on bitnob.. I can now create and fund cards..

Do you have any experience on appealing cards?

Luckily for me, never appealed any card in my life. I wonder why I don't.

Lilosio:
Can you recommend me any other platform besides bitnob that provides crypto funding?

My bitnob has been an headache, my account asking for verification after verification.. it gets approved then ask again for verification..

Sorry only know of bitnob

compunigeria:
Wow!!! All the "Canadian solars" i have been seeing here are less than 400w and far from the description above. Thanks for the heads up o. Chai!

Obviously the fake version.

Lilosio:
Oh it's quite different, I'm a new user I am creating a card for the first time..

I haven't created one before, you showed the funding functions. Can you try the creation function?

I would be happy if you can ? I already created a grey account but my bitnob has been funded by usdt already yesterday.. still has 120$ on the bitnob ..

I don't intend on pulling the funds out yet until maybe a few days if it can't work then I move to grey..

It works here. Anyways contact the customer service

Obnoxious2001:
Instead of buying new panels most especially my brother own, you are 💯 better of with fairly used I always advise people to buy new if they can afford Jinko,sunova etc

If you are a seasoned installer, you can confirm that the frame of Most new Solar panel in Nigeria is fragile and easily detach.

This is enough proof that they are low quality, but una no dey hear.

My experience the on the ones I've bought so far, new of course, is different. They are as rugged as it can be. And performance is outta the world. I'll only recommend stuff here, the reader is 100% free to do whatever they like. It's their money, they have the right to spend it anyway they like.

Lilosio:
Hello house, I created the bitnob account and verified..
I have been trying to buy the card but it's been displaying error ..

I will appreciate if anyone has an idea

It works here. This is my funding his account with $20

Please are there ways of knowing fake Canadian solar panels?

Installers/ end users around Kaduna axis, please i need recommendations on shops where one can get JINKO panels or original Canadian solar panels or JA solar. I have tried several shops but no luck.


Abeg Abuja and Kano people kindly recommend trusted sources too.
@jonescosmos and other big ogas.

Try FOUANI STORE for Jinko panels.

Original Canadian solar is often from size 450w and above, and is usually the "half cut" design. The label is small and rectangular in nature like this Jinko label here: https://www.nairaland.com/390522/solar-energy-complement-fta/1731#130305730

I wish to get a new Starplus battery 220aH tubular. Is it a good buy??

Not a good buy.

Better off buy other lead acid brand like Luminous, Genius, Eastman, etc.Failure rate of Starplus batteries is very high.

luvlyoracle:
Which is better buying single 625w or buying 2pcs 300w panels

Also anyone with experience with africell sunfit or sunshine panels

See what I'll suggest, this recommendation is coming on the heels of what I've experienced these past two years. I noticed the cheapo solar panels (Africell, Sunfit, Sunshine et al) may be cheap to get. But it comes at a cost some users may experience and not see. I noticed that after two or three years, some of the busbars (those silver coloured lines) that link the individual solar panels starts to burn. You may not see this as panels are probably on the roof, but you will notice the reduced production.

So in summary, instead of buying 1000w of Africell PV, you are better off buying 550w of Jinko, Original Canadian solar (had to put original as the fake are a dime a dozen), JA Solar, Yingli, etc.

In RE world, you usually get WHAT YOU PAY FOR. Pay for premium to avoid premium tears.

icon91: I no fund am again, i just leave am for now, i dislike the hassle, once i minimize some app, the other will close

I got a warning the first time i closed that payment screen about restrictions if i close it often, as an account i just opened, i don't want to try again for now since i know it'll close if i minimize the app, the Bitnob app itself support multi screen but my bank app no support am for my phone

Till i get an easy way around it, i think I'll leave it for now

E get as all these go too stress me, i fit vex go open

Ok, it may depend on your phone. I can open 6 apps and minimise to open any bank app I like without closing the app minimised.

It's all good. Well done.

Olamak1:
The last time I used my Bitnob card ( I use Grey as alternative) was during the Aliexpress March sales, that's why am surprised to see this ugly update now. Both wallet and card funding used to be automatic and instantaneous.

It may just be me. Let other users confirm if it's instantaneous for them.

icon91:
Thank you for this detailed info bro

This will be a hassle for me, but I'll give it a try later

One, if i minimize the Bitnob app to open bank app, it'll close the Bitnob app, my bank app doesn't support multi screen either

What if one open Bitnob app for payment, then go to bank app but maybe have failed transaction or network issues for transfer, how person wan take do am na?

This Country just dy stress person no be small, all these unnecessary protocols just to buy/pay for something online!

Klasha still have one of the best user interface I've used in all these fintech apps, but their recent mess up too much, na why i dy try other alternatives, they did serve me well in the past but now...nah!

Busy day. Hope you were able to fund it. Anyways, you can minimise the app while using the bank app. Because you'll need to mark the "I have paid button" on the Bitnob app after doing the transfer.

All these are not my annoyance with the app, the only thing I find annoying is waiting for dollar I paid for to appear on my dashboard. This wait is repeated when you want to fund the card. I think someone has to authorise these two transactions manually. Unlike Klasha where it is automatic...when it works o.

icon91:
Hello, guys using Bitnob here, how do you exactly fund your card?

I find it a bit not straightforward as someone coming from Klasha app, i opened an account & verified, then clicked on deposit via bank transfer, i was hoping to just get/see an account number to copy & make deposit on which will reflect on my wallet & from there i can fund my virtual card, instead i saw 4 things there which were the bank account, bank name, the narration/remark i have to put...i copied the account number & remark, i wanted to go back, close the app & then open my bank app & make the transfer

It prompted me with reasons for cancelling and under it, it says if you cancel often, you'll be restricted

Abeg guys that are familiar with it should put me through, it's a bit confusing compared to Klasha

Don't close the bitnob app once you open it. Copy amount in naira to pay. Copy reference no too to add to transaction reference when doing transfer.. Once you make payment, come back to bitnob and click 'i have made payment" or something of that nature in that page that have amount, bank no and reference. Then you wait. I think they do manual credit because it takes like 10 minutes for the dollar to reflect. Then you go to "Cards" and click add fund. This requires a fee of $1 for amount less than or equal to $100, or 1% for amount greater than $100. Even topping card takes some time. I think all these are done manually. I may be wrong though.

Damlesky:
Hi, does anyone here know about the Sun king 500x and if it will be a good buy. Planning to get one to power my laptop mostly.

It'll be good when you post such things to add picture of it, the price and specifications. It could help people recommend for you. Thank you.

jonescosmos:
Perhaps you should always put your prices of the items so that we can have a second thought about rushing to Arena and Alaba.

I hardly contact vendor that don't display their prices. I always think they are out to rip me off. Lol

FRESHTWANYE:
Please save you ear of tinnitus or ear problem, too much sound will cause wahala later

I had this tinnitus scare five years ago. Ever since then, I run away from very loud sound. Imagine persistent ringing in your ear for two days. Slight humming in the middle of the night. I googled the effect and got tinnitus. I was super scared. Fortunately, after the second day it stopped! I felt like I won a lottery. Never again will I expose my hearing to loud sounds/music.

Hello guys

Is anyone here still using Klasha?

A refund ($50) was made to my pink card(expired) since May but it's yet to reflect on my wallet, up till now nothing yet, i just want to take my funds out from there once the refund hit my wallet and go for maybe Bitnob or any other one that's great for now

Klasha's downtime error & other problems its having for this long period is really worrisome

@Olamak1
@Jboixxx
@Babalegba
...

I've left Klasha, don't know what to do again with them . I'm now onto bitnob.

i mean i have gone to remote communities without electricity sha, like where I did my youth service.. but say inside city, say nepa take light, then e take over 4 days to fix..
.i never see o. Highest 2 days and some hours... E never reach 3 full days before wey i fit remember..

You are enjoying the best version of Nigeria. Your Nigerian experience is definitely different from what is deemed "normal".

Since I was born i have never experienced 4 days blackout in Nigeria sha....

Is your house inside the Control Room at Kainji Dam?

casualobserver:
You are welcome. I just stumbled upon the post where timselectric said he actually had 23.7kw on just one inverter. I had been looking for it and was beginning to think I was going senile because when I checked his build thread his signature said 3 growatts. Clearly the single Growatt was in the early stages.

Read and enjoy! (If you haven’t already)

https://diysolarforum.com/threads/overpaneling-specifically-growatt-spfxxxxt.47725/

This is interesting. Will give a try. Thank you.

casualobserver:
Here is what you are looking for. I get the feeling all Spf5000s can be overpanelled including the 18A but you must perform a firmware upgrade especially on the 18As.

https://www.amosplanet.org/forums/topic/overpaneling-on-spf5000es/

Edit: Also discovered that Timselectric was using the 18a version and his parallel setup simply capped his available amps at 18.2A. So looks likes you can parallel either, the inverter simply won’t draw more than the max (18 or 22). Hence Amos’s comments about waste if you overpanel excessively.

Thanks for this update. That was helpful.

casualobserver:
It could be because you have one of the earlier Growatt with 18a. I think the German guy said something like that on another video. Whatever the case get to your firmware number and ask Amos. It could be you need a firmware update.

Yeah, about it been the 18A version you may have a point. The current one I got is 22A. I know about the forum. I'm a member for like two years or so. Thanks for the update.

casualobserver:
You can safely. There are numerous examples. In fact the growatts are well known for overpanelling. I’ll look for the guy who ran his for months on 15kw and post. Like I said make use of Amosplanet and ask Amos directly. He is one of the engineers at Growatt China.

I'm only cautious as when I tried it with Longi 450w with 11.60A Isc it kept shutting down at peak sun hours. It stopped when I removed the parallel.

casualobserver:
Why take the risk exceeding the Voc, when you can just over panel with parallel strings? And have a wider power curve?

Growatt spf5000 are well known to handle overpanelling so long as you don’t exceed the voc.
Some guy even had 15kw on his spf5000.

This guy below had 2x 4k parallel strings on his spf5000, that’s just one example.

My panel's PV parallel current exceeds 22A, which is the maximum PV input current of Growatt SPF5000ES.

I don't have doubt you can over panel it; maybe with panels that has Isc of less than 11A. Mine is 13.4A

Bitnob just verified my account.

Please what's the difference between Using bitnob Virtual Card and paying through bitnob Shopaa

Someone just explained this some page back.

VeryDarkMan01:
What do you expect
You order screen from Ali express
What are you expecting
Don't you know Ali express screen are China screens and not genuine screen

We have Samsung screens with warranty
Location is Ikeja

The one you have, is it made in Japan?

Xanderone:
I have six of these, the first of the six procured almost 4 years ago. The last one was about 2 years ago. The lights you described blink in all.

Even when I bought a barebone PowMr variant CC (all the components excluding the metal case & screws) to DIY a mobile all-in-one power station, it still has that blinking light.

I wonder why the removed the light in their new iteration. And even with weaker fans. Shrink-flation maybe.

MakeSkyBlue was turning out to be an annoyingly expensive offer before PowMr came out and they had an online tug of war (imitation etc) for a while. I think it has died down now. I have a unit of MakeSkyBlue and the coming of PowMr was Godsent affordability when the former was getting unbearably expensive.

Their war was epic. First time I'm seeing a company say the other company is fake in their ad

I have MakeSkyBlue then, so I was siding with them. Lol
