any idea on alpsolar, price is moderate, they seem to capture my attention with thei panel oversizing but with no dual mppt input i tire once....

I don't have info on them.

If the price is great with great after sales, go for it.

I see some people shit on Sako here, but those guys got great after sales service, at least my guy has only good things to say about em.

Nothing beats after sales service.

So buy, if it has one.

Cheers.

Kingmathers:
Is there a way to choose carrier?

If you buy from Mainland China it's be routed via Speedaf, so I'm told.

I never do bother to know where I buy, luckily, I just have my courier to be Speedaf all the time.

I'll try national lottery next, guess my luck is on steroids.

You can buy in China for some discount

GOOD NEWS: I’ve gotten my brand new 5Kwh battery.

Sako CEO got involved in the matter and promised me a new battery once their container comes back. She fulfilled her promise and I collected the battery yesterday. I must say that the customer service I received from Sako was premium and top notch.

Nothing beats a great customer service.

Congratulations.

Gud day guys, seem like bybit is deactivating their card oo.... I saw this notification on my phone... Anybody using bybit card here?

No cause for alarm, kindly reapply.

nadico:
My 10kva super smart inverter was affected by lightning as if you switch it on. It comes up and go off immediately. I got someone to check it and he said the lightning affected the power card. Gurus in the house, any idea how much it will cost me to repair.

Powerboard MOSFETs plus other things may have been affected.

Send to reputable repair technician and consider adding protective devices like a good earth, SPD etc to forestall future failure.

To all Nigerian civil engineers: please ensure that roofs are fortified going forward. Given the ongoing challenges with reliable power supply, it’s important not to assume that roofs will only need to support roofing sheets and resist wind loads. Please include the weight of photovoltaic (PV) panels as part of the structural load calculations. Thank you in advance.

Charging will be a major issue.At 0.5c that's over 300amp required .That's massive.

Oh yeah, hard to max that out on small systems.

It depends on the location of the store. If the seller is located in Hong Kong, your package is likely to be shipped via Singapore Post or Netherlands Post through NIPOST.

Speedaf handles packages from China Mainland.

True. I don't even bother to check, is what I mean, so far I guess I'm now inadvertently buying from Mainland sellers without even trying to do that.

twinskenny wetin you type this one dem axe you?

Guess all my packages are from Mainland. The thing is, I don't even bother to check where it's coming from.

omotolsy:
You have? But we as buyers do not have the option to dictate to sellers which to use. Please tell us the magic or style your using please

I don't even do anything.

I see item I want to buy, I just click buy.

After two days I see NG blabla, within 14 days "I'm calling from Speedaf bla bla bla'

omotolsy:
Very embarrassing experience at Ketu Nipost Office today. Honestly i wish these Aliexpress sellers can be notified not to use the Nigerian Postal Service for shipping items. I don't know how one can go about it. Just pure extortion and an obvious broad day light robbery.

I've forgotten NIPOST.

All my packages are now delivered by Speedaf, so far.

twinskenny:
A client house nearly got burnt…

Why?
Wrong cable guage
Wrong breakers specifications
Untidy installations

Attached is the picture of the installations done by a quack installer..


Second pictures is what we did after we were called upon!

Always be careful guys… so your big Investiment won’t go down the drain

Nicely done

That's how it should be done.
Good job

Good evening gurus in the house,

I bought a hybrid inverter and a Wi-Fi module from a seller through AliExpress and the package was delivered on the (05/06/2025). The first thing I noticed when I opened the package was that the manual and communication cable were not included in the package which I notified the seller. He was very slow in responding to my complain. I persisted and he later sent me a soft copy of the manual which I have printed.

I had the inverter installed and it was working. I went to town to get the cable and discovered the Wi-Fi module was not working. I have tried several cables but the Wi-Fi module still will not work. I have been contacting the seller but he has refused to acknowledge my complaints.

Can anyone give me an advice on how to handle this issue as I feel the seller is deliberately ignoring me and time is going.

Open dispute before the time expires, I think it expires after like 15 days of acknowledging receipt.

Olamak1:
Delivery is a bit faster now, expecially for Speedaf shipments. I got a package delivered last week, the item took 11 days from ordering to delivery.

That's awesome. I wish sea shipping will be like 30 days.

Ferdiwar:
Since I started my off-grid journey, yesterday was the worst day I've encountered so far with less than 1kwh of energy generated.

The rain started on Friday here in Lagos, with a bit of sunlight in my area that was able to fully charge my batteries. The rain progressed to yesterday being Saturday which lasted the whole day with no sight of sunlight 😭.

Thank God for the decision I took to over size my battery bank as it paid off yesterday.

People often ask how many batteries they need, the reply is buy as much as you can afford. As you may probably need it one day.

I don't take any new "breakthrough" from this channel seriously. Reason is simple, many of these never make it to the market as some of them may not be practical. But by Jove it does look fantastic on paper.

I watch Undecided by Matt as an entertainment channel. Not really as technology that will ever see the light of day.

Above is strictly my opinion though.

I'm not alone though:

Usirado611:
I think TEMU has the best delivery speed compare to aliexpress and alibaba, my TEMU Packages only takes 2weeks max for delivery but Aliexpress and Alibaba takes forever

My AliExpress packages never exceed 14 days.

May be lucky all the time

Dam5reey1:
DEYE already launched in Lagos and Abuja, and service centers available.

Oh, that's great.

Its always great to have support for products.

Dam5reey1:
5 years Warranty.. e sure for Deye
DEYE SUN-6KW AM2 Off Grid.. Kebbi

Any idea if they have a dedicated service centre in Nigeria?

Preator:
People of God,

I noticed my Gospower 6kw inverter fan just spiked with higher noise. Load was 500w and generation was 1000w. My 15kwh was at 60% then. Within 20mins the battery dropped to 31%. I've verified no load from anywhere. I had to shut it down for now. The inverter is installed inside.

Has anyone experienced this?

Your battery BMS ok?

ajabani4allah:
Are these charger board quick charger? I got some that I use but charge very slowly even with fast charger cord, now I am planning to get the one in the picture below because of QC specifications on them. Pls do you know about these ones?

The PDs are fast charger if your device supports it.

lexi28:
I once undertook to extract data from the PVGIS website, to show a client why the south face was overall the best orientation to place the panels. The data represents conservative averages over 2005-2020 for hourly PV production per 1kw. The data is for ILORIN particularly, I assume the data will vary for other locations due to unique sun path at each location.
MONTH: ORIENTATION WITH HIGHEST PV OUTPUT/KW
JAN : SOUTH
FEB: SOUTH
MAR: SOUTH
APR: FLAT
MAY: NORTH
JUN: NORTH
JUL: NORTH
AUG: WEST
SEP: WEST
OCT: SOUTH
NOV: SOUTH
DEC : SOUTH

Practical results may vary.

This is some interesting information. Thanks for sharing.

stuffs2002:
Good
My dilemma is what do I do since my money will be returned to me and I have no intention of keeping the item.

Not your fault item arrived defective.

I never return defective item. Because if you do, you'd pay more than $20 to do that.

Accept your refund and buy from another seller.

maklelemakukula:
I got a text today that my battery is available for pickup.
Thank you for your guidelines on how to go about the purchase.

You are welcome
