Ebaymaikel: HDRC S608 GPS. 500g. It flies well, camera quality is 720p. I got it to learn how to fly drones tho and it is stable with minimum wind and flies well. What's the flight time like? I saw 5k range and 30 minute flight. How does that compare to real world situation? You know our Chinese brothers often add "something" to their spec sheet to enable it "persuade" customers to click that buy button  I'm expecting a DJI this month. |

Ebaymaikel: 36 days from despatch to delivery. Had to go to the post office as tracking showed delivered but I hadn't been called. They said they've not entered it into the system that's why they haven't called. Anyways glad I received it. Second time I'm shopping for a drone on AliExpress from the same seller and it's going well so far  What's the make? How's the flying experience? Less than 250g? |

shezy14: Pls how can I buy stuff of 150 dollar on AliExpress with the 100 dollar limit on ATM cards If I can get a dollar every time this question is asked, I'll be a millionaire.  But since I can't, someone just answered this: Onyeka90210: 1. Barter by Flutterwave virtual dollar card 2. ALAT by WEMA virtual dollar card 3. Wallet Africa virtual dollar card ..... just note that the rate would be at around 500n/dollar. But there’s no limit, I use barter, and you don’t have to wait 5 working days for a refund, it’s shows within 24hrs. You can also use two cards to make the payment IF SELLER IS WILLING TO SPLIT THE ORDER INTO TWO. Gracias |

Do remember to log into your bank app or online to check if refunded as many Naija banks may not give you an SMS alert when this refund hits your account. |

Israelicc: Thank you Sir for taking time to educate. I always tell my clients that if you have solar in mind when you want to build, it's necessary you consider most of the things you've touched on.
Essentially, if you want the array to be roof mounted, then you have to ensure your roof design is solar compatible. Let the pitch or slope make sense and not look like something that will kill the installer. A slope of between 6⁰ -30⁰ will be perfect. I'm always scared when I have to do installation for clients with the send down the rain roofing.
I also would advise them to make the most of the sun's trajectory if possible so that their roof can face east and west. They would get the best results that way (I stand to be corrected).
If they prefer ground mounts, you could also advise on types of ground mounts that they can opt for, eg. Carport etc.
Having a separate DB for inverter loads is also part of what you'd advise. This is true. Sadly, most think of putting up alternative power solution after the house is built. |

kolagbemi: Any third-party shipper to recommend?
I recently ordered vehicle parts on AliExpress and one of the stores I bought from has some other parts I need.
Now I want to buy from him again but he's not ready to list the items on AliExpress....he said they don't use AliExpress for such items with lots of money, and I am not ready to send over 1m to someone I don't know beyond whatsapp....
please how can I go around such transaction. I urgently need the parts.
Meanwhile, out of almost 20items purchase over a month ago....he's the only one that his ordered have been delivered.
Please guyz....some of items are showing Accepted by Last miles Courier.....over 10days and no contact from anyone.
Please what should I do Hard to recommend one as logistics sometimes experience hiccups, but my friend just received goods worth a lot of money via this logistic companyHe was charged I think $7.5/kg shipping and ₦505/kg clearance for the goods.

The last two two things i ordered, i haven't received any, the 90 days period given by Ali has expired, I'm about to get a refund
The tracking info is still stuck at dispatch to overseas.
What's going on exactly, where's the problem from
The sellers are not happy and complaining too You may consider using a third party shipper if you want your package under one month with no story, especially for costly goods ($200+ goods) to avoid stories of package theft or loss in transit. |

DUNKA: Thanks foes the installer need to be incorporated in the electrical drawings of the build? It's best you incorporate the electrical running of your home during the wiring stage with respect to you going solar. So you can have a different DB (with loads you plan on running on inverter) and other DBs separate which will handle heavy loads you don't plan on running on your solar setup. You can always power this DB directly if the solar project is not yet ready. With conduit wiring, once the piping is done, it becomes more work to start breaking up the walls to run additional pipes or even scatter the aesthetics of the house by running surface wiring. Also the roof design should also be convenient (if you plan on mounting panels on the roof) or give adequate space for ground mount (eg carport shade mounting etc) It saves a lot of headache when you consider all these in the building stage than after. |

dollarnaira: I visited a client yesterday and right from d staircase I could smell acid from batteries. I quickly ran up to check up the batteries only to find out that all 4 batteries are hot including the cables from solar panels and the bottom part of d cc was a bit hot too. However, I disconnected one cable from d panels from d cc bc I suspected overcharging.
N.B : A freezer was connected to it during this ordeal.
Inverter is hybrid 2.4kva psw mercury.
Pls wat could b d problem? Help pls If you have a clamp meter, do check the charging current. Also check for signs of bulge on the battery. Is the battery backup ok after disconnecting charging source? |
