Fremlin:
Those that use starlink, is there a way to extend it's coverage over a long distance.

If yes, how affordable is it?

You can either use a router with Ethernet cable hardwired or for long distance line of sight CPE bridging- buy two outdoor wireless bridging equipment with router for long distance wireless extension.

Outdoor wireless:

They understand us better than ourselves. We like cheap beautiful packages. Aesthetic is never my thing. Personally, it is either diy or nothing except other factors that I will never complained about.

If the price did not shock us, we should not complain at all.

They know the people often like it shiny. Nobody makes it as shiny as the fake merchants. They often go over the top in adding unnecessary LEDs to the mix so everything lights up like a toddler's shoe

ask4bk:
New Nigerian curriculum for secondary schools now include solar photovoltaic installation and maintenance from js1 to ss3.

Nigerian kids could be experts in solar installation before they are done with ss3.

Hope every school adopts this.

Solar installers here can also apply to schools as part time job.

The Nigerian educational curriculum is long overdue for an update.

Trippledots:
In the comments, some people said pylontech uses same 15s configuration o.

The one I've seen was 16s.

Obnoxious2001:
Can't even be a Nigerian problem.

Some people do solar in Nigeria to reduce bills
Some for survival
Some it's a necessity

So Nigeria no get business with any of those things.

Now this now brings me to another topic, will solar systems owners be willing to pay for insurances for their solar systems?

Yes, I think they will. It will depend on the insurance premium and what it covers.

swagifted:
this one na for ongrid people.

Most Nigerians don't have an option, it's either solar or nothing.

So, for now, it'd take a long time for that to be Nigeria's problem

dollarnaira:
The thing is price.
At times price is enough to tell us the value of purchased product. If 1litre of fuel is not true here,who are we to Judge judge China?

Everyone wants a great deal. I wish they'd be upfront with what they are selling.

HeavenlyBang:
It's just terrible, really.



Of course they cut corners. Their 8kwh battery is only like 7.2kwh. Still amazing for the price, though, so I don't know why they just won't market it as what it actually is.

Overstating capacity is a Chinese thing.

They do this as you can't sue the people selling a product. Also regulatory compliance is not a thing in China. So not hard to see a 3000w rated device not handle 1000w.

I wish they'd actually state the real capability of device. But that's where reviews and research can help or even better DIY your thing.

adrusa:
Ok, I now see the edit, which wasn't there when I responded. The bolded below is what I responded to.

"Two batteries in parallel is still 12.8v nominal. So in this case you can't get to draw more than 150A, but your backup hours for load under 150A draw will surely double."

Na why I edit am na

HeavenlyBang:
Haisic still doing this BS even in the US.

48v battery with 15 cells lmao.

This is how they give you those "unbeatable" prices in the market. They cut corners. Saw the video and I'm pissed. Why will they do that?

Sadeeqdikkko:
The post office called me today and said I’ll have to pay over ₦100,000 in customs duty for a phone I ordered from AliExpress. This doesn’t make sense to me, since the phone only costs US $154.00. Is this normal? What should I do?

Tax in Nigeria no dey ever make sense

adrusa:
If the batteries are in parallel, he can draw 150A from each making a total of 300A.

Em I think I already said that in the post you quoted. Or did I not?

RickyM:
Of course if both batteries are connected in parallel, he will be able to technically draw 300A at 12.8V which is 3.8kw power draw but practically it won’t be advisable.

My question. Is what size of cable does this user have to be able to do this?

16mm²?

35mm²?

120mm²?

kristien4:
Okay, pls clear my confusion. I have one 100a 51.2v lithium battery max discharge at 100a. Meaning highest i can draw is 5120w. So if i add more 3 batteries to my initial setup, making it 4 batteries in parallel, does the max draw still stay at 5120watts?

It'd theoretically double.

What exactly are you powering to want to do this?

My battery maximum draw is 200A. Don't think I've ever drawn more than 70A from it

gbengress1:
Is the tracking number a NIPOST tracking number?

Yes

kristien4:
What if 2 batteries are connected in parallel. Can you still get double the output i.e 3840watts

No, you won't as you cant draw more than 150A from the BMS.

Two batteries in parallel is still 12.8v nominal. So in this case you can't get to draw more than 150A, but your backup hours for load under 150A draw will surely double.

Edit: I made a mistake here. You can double the current drawn. But that will be so much current you gotta need a very large conductor.

ask4bk:
No be same country the locals went to a solar harvest field and were breaking hundreds of panels with sticks and rods by both men and women coz someone told them that the installation of panels is interfering and stopping rain from falling down?

After doing such mega projects, they should endeavour to educate the people.

There's a reason solar renewable energy is used in 3rd world countries more than 1st worlds who already have stable energy albeit unclean. It's when your power is epileptic that you've no option than to adopt more affordable and accessible options like renewable energy.

THEY need education.

Education may be expensive, but I assure you the cost of ignorance is greater

gbengress1:
Hello everyone . My package has been with custom for more than 10;days now. The package is a steaming iron and the tracking number is
CP544348289CN. What can I do?

You can do two things:

1) Check with your nearest post office (sometimes tracking with NIPOST don't update in real time).

2) Have patience for it to change.

Charley2020:
Hello house, I just discovered that lithium batteries have a max output power but don't really understand what it means. And I haven't seen anyone talking about it on this thread.

For example, the Cworth 2.56KWH lithium battery has a max output power of 1920W. Does this mean I won't be able to power an appliance that has a surge of 2500W even if I have a 5000W inverter connected to this Cworth 2.56KWH battery?

No, you can't do that.

The highest current the BMS can handle is 150A.

This is a 12.8v nominal battery.

12.8 X 150 = 1920 watts.

You can only draw more than 1920w if this battery allows connection in series. Eg you can draw twice that wattage ie 12.8x2 = 25.6v. Multiply by 150A will give you 3840 watts.

This is the reason most people run bigger loads at higher inverter system voltage ie 48v and above.

In industrial system we have Deye that can run up to 800v battery.and above. At that level even with a 100A BMS that's an incredible amount of power.

morikee:
I swear EMS always put on ridiculous custom charges on any Package last time i receive a flash drive from France it comes via EMS and i have to pay for custom charges to make it worse it takes 3 months to reach here and na Paid shipping

I see that they've not changed.

Charley2020:
Does anyone know why ecoflow is so expensive compared to buying your batteries and inverter separately? Do they have better batteries than the popular lithium battery brands or are they just expensive because they're a USA company?

Capitalism

Capitalism.

It's a US product.

No cheap product from the US.

LABOUR is expensive and also manufacturer gotta make bank.

That apart, I don't see any other reason their products are pricey.

Trippledots:
How's the performance, when the panel is partially shaded?

Production drops. How much it does depends on the solar panel type and how much area was shaded.

Encitee3991:
Please assist guys.
Have never encountered such before

Refund failed

Contact AliExpress support.

Dam5reey:
The company should find my video and send original one.
I bought that toy for 52USD, na me go still correct what?

Bought this Elejoy in 2022.

Used it like 5 times

Still works though

Encitee3991:
Please Guys, avoid as much as possible canceling a paid order on AliExpress.
Our traditional banks are rip off.
I ordered something recently on AliExpress and had to cancel it before it was shipped. Exchange rate for UBA at ₦1586/$ at the time I paid.
On getting the refund after about 2 weeks of order cancelation, it was refunded at ₦1535/$.

Thank God it's a small amount order.

Una wey dey use Nigerian naira cards for international $ purchase, instead of virtual cards, dey try. Can't deal with their BS.

Ofejiro20:
thanks boss but I already have a charge controller. Having an hybrid inverter would mean that my charge controller will no longer be useful

You can use a hybrid inverter WITHOUT using its charge controller function. That is, if you are bent on not using it, maybe due to the PV reconfiguration required.

Tickles001:
I want to buy random things from AliExpress. Most of them has high shipping cost, while a few are free. Is there a way I can lump everything to be shipped together and reduce shipping cost? Or any better suggestions to cut cost.

Buy things with "Choice" tag. They'll lump them together and ship to you. Choice packages have free shipping.

Macmilla:
I've never received any order through EMS. Do they even still exist? Why are the the worst?

Most orders from Europe, UK and the US via post office usually comes through them.

They are the worst because most packages through them usually comes with hefty custom duty.

I remember a lady leaving her fairly used baby clothes package sent to her from the US, to the EMS, and it happened to come via EMS when she couldn't pay the exorbitant custom duty of around ₦170k. This was around 2016.

My cousin bought a Xiaomi phone then, Xiaomi Note 3 or something. The custom duty was half the cost of the phone. She refuses to pick it from the EMS. They sent it back. She got her refund and bought it again. This time it came through normal post via NIPOST. Speedaf not a thing then. This was around 2017.

The last time I picked anything from the EMS was a package from Europe, a kinda flashdrive. I paid duty, can't remember how much.

Luckily, I have no business with the EMS these days.

Just Speedaf and chill.

Dam5reey:
Your Inverter will be fried instead.. Use better brand of inverter minimum 6kva for cooking.

My inverter is 4kw Schneider

I run up to 2500w with while using airfryer with AC and freezer on.

Wouldn't recommend it though

swagifted:
is it really 200km per charge?

It depends on a lot of factors:

1) Battery size and age
2) Motor size
3) Weight on ebike (the bigger the load on the ebike, the lower the range)
4) Terrain (hilly terrain drains batteries faster)
5) Type of riding (full electric or pedal assist mode)

That said, the type I got, different from what OP advertised, came with a 10AH 48V that was good for 25km on full electric and 30km on pedal assist.

I've long upgraded this battery to 30AH for crazier riding. E too sweet

Are there ebikes with range up to 200km? Yes, of course.

Is it what the OP is selling, that I can't tell.

SaintUlot:
How would you have solar installation in your house and you are still spending money to buy cooking gas and paying for fuel to transport yourself? That is an abomination, you are obviously shortchanging yourself, if you ain't optimising the immense benefit of your home solar installation.

Take your solar-powered lifestyle to the next level with this advanced electric bike, perfect for daily commutes and delivery businesses! This beast is FAST, keeping up with traffic effortlessly, covering a range of 200km on a single charge with a max speed of 57km/h.

I have some of these. Bought it during the pandemic to pass time. This thing is super fun.

I encourage people to try it, if they can.

bkuranga:
JK BMS? Okay.

I use a JK BMS.

Comes up every time it drains when charging is applied.
