lovediehatelive: Na wa o.
Please is it just inverter it can affect or it can affect other things like battery, charge controller solar panels I've seen an instance where thunder storms damaged 16 numbers of 350w solar panels, the inverter (which is a hybrid) in one day. Till today due to the cost of replacing those items, the organisation do not use renewable energy. Though they later installed an active thunder protection AFTER the damage. The majority of Nigerians don't like to spend money on protective devices, they often seen it "unnecessary" . |

kristien4: Abeg...is Africell a good solar panel brand ? Not too bad. I've used it in the days of freestyle for solar panels. These days I no longer freestyle  First tier or nothing. |

lovediehatelive: Please Pardon my curiosity o.
This one I'm seeing thunder there, hope it didn't directly strike your device?
And please what should one do to protect solar system against thunder 1) Lightning arrestor 2) A good earth for the inverter 3) SPD (surge protective device) installed |

mikeayus: Please which do you think is better Powmr or Felicity MPPT Charge controllers? I may be biased, but I'll say it is PowMr. This is because I have a friend that was having so many issues with his Felicity charge controller, but when he changed to PowMr, the problem disappeared. |

bbeckky: Good morning fam. Pls I need help from the experts in the house. Few months ago, my inverter (1.2kva) got damaged by thunder. We called the installer and he said the company doesn't have the board available as at then that we should buy sachet inverter pending when they'll have it. But we decided rather than buying a sachet inverter that we shud fix it elsewhere. But ever since we got this new board it has never worked well, if we put on the TV, it'll say overload, we can't do fan and TV concurrently, it'll be screaming overload. We have returned this inverter more than 3times for the guy to fix the issue yet nothing. This last time is even worst, we can't put on ordinary light, it's not powering anything at all. And now Alaba has closed till next year. Pls any idea what we can do because it's really frustrating me Try another repair centre or go to Arena and get the inverter fixed. The guy you keep returning it to may actually not be doing anything to it or simply incapable of fixing this issue. |

casualobserver: I would never advise any landlord to allow a tenant to install solar, talk less remove. Too much Incompetence and story telling in our environment.
Existing tenant no chance at all, if you don’t like move out. New tenant let them know before hand that solar on the roof is not allowed.
I won’t even allow a tenant who says he will leave it when he leaves. Nigerians are not honorable people. The same tenant that you bent over backwards will come with one story when it is time to pack out. Or he will remove it without you knowing and start with Nigerians’ favorite phrase…”sorry don’t be annoyed”.
It’s the quality of the installation/uninstallation plus the likely hood of honoring agreements… too many points of failure/damage/stress…...not worth the hassle. Well, that's just your recommendation. Fortunately, some landlords do allow for this. All of the tenants can't just wait till they are landlords to use renewable energy. |

durodee: As a landlord, I WILL NEVER EVER ALLOW A TENANT TO PUT PANELS ON MY ROOF. I REPEAT:NEVER EVER. The chances of a mistake along the path of installation or removal is so high that the risk is not worth it. Ten years rent can barely reroof a building at current prices/value obtained. When he/she builts then he/she can place on his/her roof. I will however not obstruct any form of land based structure as long as you promise to ensure my building is back in shape when you leave. I was a tenant twice, and each time I ensured I totally refurbished the building before leaving. I have seen enough "professionals" in my discipline and in construction /engineering to know that mistake no get master! And the person with the short end of the rope is usually the owner. Both buyer and seller can agree on certain things. As a tenant if I can't install solar panels on the location I'm moving into, it just voids the contract. No need for long meetings or something. I'll just move on. Nobody should bring up this issue AFTER packing in, it should be discussed BEFORE you even consider paying rent. |

Juror: He is most likely concerned about damage to his roof during removal. Professionals can add and remove panels with no leaks. Landlord is just a hater 😔 |

microgiant: A welder used angle iron bar to fabricate the structure which I nailed on the fence and placed the panels inside, tied with binding wire. That's a genius move |

microgiant: Advice for those who are still waiting for millions to install an inverter system, I live in a rented apartment and can't install panels on the roof no enough space in compound.
Note: my panels are installed in the wrong orientation, facing North instead of South. Where did you install your panels? |

Braaad: Thanks for your response sir.
I appreciate.
I currently have very serious issues with the batteries I bought from YOHAKO and I want to be sure the issues are not peculiar to me as the dealer wants to make it seem. I bought 5units of those batteries. I used 4units for a setup, and they cannot support 2000w of load for 10hrs.
Once the sun goes down by about 5pm, the battery drops immediately.
I want to have more feedback so I will be sure this is not peculiar to my case only. Yohako is a cheap, low quality Chinese make. |
Satellite TV Technology › Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by mctfopt: 9:22pm On Dec 06, 2023 |
Braaad: Hello house,
I greet everybody...
Please has anyone used this particular YOHAKO lithium batteries before (9.8kwh/48V)?? What are your experience with it? Does it meet up to the rated capacity?
Please I need a very honest review from installers and end users in the house including engineers and technicians.
Marketers should stay off. If it's anything like their solar charge controller, I'll recommend you try another make. Well done. |

sharks776: 1. The manufacturing date on the sticker is showing October 2022. 2. Can't determine number of cycles 3. According to the seller, they are telecom batteries. 4. The guy is quoting 850k for the Huawei 48v 150ah and 750k for the 48v,100ah Cycles should be less than 400 then. Buy. |

bassdow: well I have only repaired such twice and it's been long.
it's not my line though depending on it's fault, I could fix it BUT if you willing to take the CHANCE, I could come take a look.
Things such as these interests me.
1. what part of lagos do you reside in ? 2. what is the fault ? I just DIY my way through mine. From changing brake pad to changing brake. To upgrading brake from mechanical brake to hydraulic. change of headset bearing, wheel sprocket replacement. Had to change my motor controller and couldn't get the exact replacement, had to DIY the connection. Even changed the original light for something brighter for night runs  Upgrade of original lithium ion to a bigger capacity lithium phosphate. It's pretty simple if you take out time to study it. The thing is to do it and see how it goes  |

Olamak1: You may not see it at the exact price I got it. The reason is that the cost of the cable(3M length) is $4.40 but I got 2 diffent coupons of $4.18 put together, and that reduced the check out price to $0.22.
Check it out here:

Olamak1: My brother, deriving maximum shopping benefits during aliexpress Major sales requires experience. Even with a product of less than $50, you can still get good discounts on it, sellers attitude not withstanding.
Yesterday, I got a 3m charger cable of $4 for $0.22, even when there's nothing like store discount or coupon attached.
Experience is the key factor! Free shipping? |

jboixxx: [color=#0000ff]This item isn't priced at 62 everyday! This deal was a promo offer, that's why you didn't get any form of discount for that particular deal.[/color] I bought lower than the 84 on a normal day. 11.11 is not all that bro. We have been doing 11.11 for ages on AliExpress I know when it used to be a blast. |
Technology Market › Re: This Thread Is Only For Aliexpress Shopper by mctfopt: 7:31am On Nov 12, 2023 |
Sonrexx: What some peeps don't know is some sellers will increase their item price to match their selling price after the coupons and discounts has been added. But if you buy in bulk like $100+ then you'll be enjoying the black Friday, not if you're buying from $50 and below. See an example of what I meant here. Yeah, there is discount for bulk buyers.
