Hello NL Fam, I ordered Anker Boombox and it was shipped via EMS (EXX) .

I received a call from Post office to come pick up with N5,000 , I have never heard of such a charge before.

She said it’s because the Item is EMS. Can anyone confirm if such a charge exist ?

I will be visiting the post on Saturday .

Yet to see a package that is a bit bulky pass through EMS without a charge. Luckily for me when I got my Boombox, I got billed ₦1000 via post office but not from their EMS department.

I've seen EMS bill baby clothes from Germany ₦70,000. The owner left it for them and stormed away with much anger

Valto:
no be my fault see the present price, where i bought from.. 250.59$ x 920=230,542naira
and i quoted 220k

Yeah, I understand. We blame the present economy. Remembered when I bought it for less than 65k just like 4 years ago.

Valto:
0V-60V 50A available 220k

You are doing well.

Is there any local seller of 0v to 60v or 0v to 120V battery charger?

This Payday need to be boycotted they're daylight robbers

They have a team very good at laundering their image on social media as the next best thing after sliced bread

Drgreatone:
Thanks, any experience wit this particular inverter? Specs look great but would love a personal experience too

If their inverter is anything like their standalone solar charge controller, that will make a great budget buy.

Dam5reey:
Why not?

If a device is rated for 5kw continuous, then it capable of doing 5kw continuous, that's why Inbuilt Fans are there!

What's the essence of buying 5kw inverter to load it 1kw?

If you want the equipment to last, don't do such loading. But anyways, who am I to dictate what load people should put on their inverter? If they like let them do 100%, like you pointed out we've got fans for that reason

ojeysky:
He should be fine with a good 3kw inverter or max 5kw. He will be lucky if he gets every every within a 7m budget especially if he wants actual 30KWH capacity of lithium backup. DIY should fit the budget

Just curious, will you comfortably load an inverter to 50% capacity as a continuous load?

complexstuffs:
Pls what size, brand and possible price of Lithium batteries should I get because I learnt there are so many fake lithium batteries

There is a vendor here, Valto, that sells good quality lithium batteries.

complexstuffs:
Good morning gurus in the house,

Pls can gurus help me with quote to install a solar/inverter system in my house with the following load of 1500W.
In addition to the house load, I will also install 4 number batteries.

1) How many solar panels would I need and their sizes
2) What size and type of inverter would be best for this setup
3) What size and type of Charge Controller would be best for this setup
4) What size and type of batteries would be best for this setup

Thanks as I await your responses

1500W is a lot of load


1) At least 10KW of solar panels

2) Not less than 10KVA or 8KW inverter

3) 200A charge controller

4) Minimum of 30KWH battery, I'll recommend lithium batteries

Prince3030:
Please is there any ready made power box with solar that can carry a load of 250watt for atleast 6 hours? Anyone has an idea?

Not cheap. Check the attached screenshot from Jumia

temi4fash:
Which kind of roof is ideal for solar panel placement?

Almost flat

fhranchez:
sorry but did you mean inferior?

Yeah, inferior

Yunus2012:
Even as at now, Grey is still 900.
I wonder why people don't talk about them.
I thinkbyhey are still the most reasonable.
Abu is anybody giving lower than 900?

Any other charges like top up charge, monthly dues, etc?

fhranchez:
Hello bosses in da house, i have a peculiar problem. Every two months or so i must have to change my elongated 1mm extension cable, mind you the follow come extension cable is still working to this moment, but i have continued to replace the 1mm flex cable every 2 months.

So house my suspicion is i am buying fake 1mm wire, because it can't be overload as i only use laptop on this extension. Or is there anything I'm doing wrong?

You are most probably buying an interior cable.

Please I just noticed today that my charge controller is reading panel input voltage of 24v this night, has anyone witness this before and what could cause this.

There are a few possible causes of your MPPT solar charge controller having some voltage at night:

*A reverse diode failure
The reverse diode is a component in the MPPT charge controller that prevents current from flowing back from the battery to the solar panels at night. If the reverse diode fails, current will flow back to the solar panels, which can cause the voltage to rise.


A wiring fault

If the wiring between the MPPT charge controller and the solar panels is faulty, it can cause current to flow back to the solar panels at night. This can also cause the voltage to rise.


Ambient light.


Even at night, there is usually some ambient light present. This light can be enough to generate a small amount of current in the solar panels, which can cause the voltage to rise.

To troubleshoot the problem, you can try the following steps:

1. Check the reverse diode for signs of failure. The reverse diode is usually located on the back of the MPPT charge controller. It is a small component with two leads. If the diode is blackened or cracked, it is likely failed.

2. Check the wiring between the MPPT charge controller and the solar panels for any faults. Make sure that all of the connections are tight and that there are no broken wires.

3. Measure the voltage at the solar panel terminals at night. If the voltage is higher than 0 volts, there is a problem.

If you have checked all of the above and you are still having problems, you may need to contact the manufacturer of the MPPT charge controller for further assistance.

Here are some additional tips to help prevent voltage problems at night:

Make sure that the MPPT charge controller is properly sized for your solar panel array. A charge controller that is too small will not be able to regulate the voltage properly.


Use high-quality wiring between the MPPT charge controller and the solar panels. Cheap wiring can be more prone to faults.


Install a blocking diode in series with the solar panels. This will prevent current from flowing back to the solar panels at night.


Shield the solar panels from ambient light. This will help to reduce the amount of current that is generated in the panels at night.

This last point is if you have so much time in your hands.

Puddin01:
Yes online and it will be delivered to you. I suggest you beep them on their twitter page for smooth process.

Thanks a lot

Is it possible to obtain a Providus card without needing to visit the branch in person?

You mean only Native Doctors abi?

Valto:
but he don japaa, no longer in naija

Our best brains keeps leaving. Very soon the only Doctor that'll be left in Nigeria is Dr Agnes

Sweet rates..

How sweet?

swagifted:
imagine wetin this guy de produce.
Four inverters, 3 victrons and 1 fronius... Lithium battery from BYD, since i took this picture 2 more units of BYD 15kwh have been added... Carries central AC that supplies cooling for 2 living rooms, dining and 3 bedrooms... Other parts of the house has split AC's.... Like this control room.

Money dey. Damn, is that a 25KW Fronius I'm seeing? Omo!

Abeg make una dey leave USEFUL reviews for AE

The following are NOT reviews:

1) I have received the item, thank you seller.

2) Package arrived very fast.

3) I am yet to test it. WTF is that

4) The package arrived crumbled

5) The seller should use Speedaf and not NIPOST

6) It took 100 days to get to Nigeria

Abeg, make una dey leave REVIEW

brightk:
Ha.......die ke

Let's just saw that production will drop so much you'll feel the panels are dead

fatherbeeman:
Pls which one is better 2 ×220ah tabular battery or 24v 100ah Lifep04 battery. For 2.5kva inverter. Thanks

In the context of lead acid batteries, a 2 x 220Ah setup at 12V yields 5280Wh, but in real-life usage, you can practically utilize only 50 percent, resulting in 2640Wh, and it might require replacement after around 2 years.

On the other hand, a 24V 100Ah setup provides
2400Wh, which can be used up to 80 percent or even the entire capacity in some cases. This lithium battery can last for up to 5 years or more. Moreover, the cost of both setups is likely to be similar.

Jayzx:
Can you walk me through the step to order from alibaba

1. Contact the seller via the chat feature of the site. Ask about the minimum order quantity (MOQ) and the product specifications.

Do not rely solely on the information in the product specification section.

The seller may be able to provide you with more accurate information when you chat with them.

2. Ask about the cost of the goods and the shipping options. If you have a shipper in China, it is usually cheaper to have them ship the goods to you directly.The seller may be able to recommend a shipper if you do not have one.

3. Wait for the goods to arrive.
Sea shipping usually takes 60 to 90 days, while air shipping usually takes 7 days to 2 weeks.

Here are some additional tips for buying from Alibaba as a Nigerian:

Only buy from suppliers who have a good reputation. You can check the supplier's rating and feedback before you place an order.

Use a trade assurance order. This will protect you if the supplier does not deliver the goods or if the goods are not as described.

Be aware of the import duties and taxes that you will need to pay if you want the goods shipped directly to you. This is usually taken care of by third party shippers.

These can vary depending on the type of goods you are importing.

I hope this helps!

Oppsin:
Good morning, I am ready to install solar panel and inverter, I want to use 500W all at once and the duration should be 7 hours working time. How much will it cost, and how many batter AH will be using? Thank you

I just had to add it as a note. NL no like numbers

Olamak1:
But the conditions were clearly stated! You mean you didn't do your calculations properly before taking a plunge?

She did, she's just venting and stating the fact that it's a shîtty deal to pay so high due to the 3% fee charged by "em.

You get bad mouth. Lol

Or 2.5.
