I think he should just roll back the changes to when the forum worked well - before all these changes and go back to the drawing board and fix the issues (and test thoroughly) before rolling out these changes. This thread is dying slowly and people would just migrate to alternative sources where they will get information. Of which there are a plethora of choices!

Do drop them, it's great reading people's experiences.

KCnaira:

Thread wey i dey always look forward to daily, na em Mr seun and em bot wan destroy. I think the bots are gradually killing various threads.


Popular knowledge/ experience based threads that use to cover 4-10 pages per day are now struggling to make 2 pages. This is a Miss and not a Hit for me.

I may soon have to find a way to love reddit and follow people with different geography to discuss solar until i finally set up 48v system.

Same thing crossed my mind last week. I always looked forward to reading the varying opinions of people, people showing off their setups, and also posts with current prices of equipments. The entire mix was a show.

lilachiever:
All you marketers and promoters

I think say na only on X dem dey run this level, I no know say nairaland sef don join

😂, they are all over. One just has to make their own research before making a choice.

Doppy13:
The 5G variant is available though just that it's only available in some regions

yeah, I know that's why I made that statement. There's barely any low priced 5G phone currently in Nigeria.

It's high time they bring the 5G variant of the C75

edublack:
Good morning Friends, please i need a quick response. FIRS and Nigeria Export Import Bank, which one is better. Thanking you in anticipation.

Is anything happening at NEXIM?

Mohisah:
Lol a boy was lamenting that workforce is st*pid😂😂

I wouldn't blame the person due to my experience with them last month.
I was unable to get past the ID authentication until 10 minutes to the end of the test.

Rumplesteelskin:
I agree. My inverter is felicitysolar. Eight 200w connected in series.

Following your issue has been interesting, especially with all the help and suggestions. Looking forward to seeing you resolve it.

Please put an update on the initial complaint when you finally resolve it, so that anyone with similar issue can see how it got resolved.

Please what is the price of a unit of 12v 220ah tubular battery and also 12/24v 2-3.5KWh lithium battery?

This is for educational purpose.

ask4bk:
House, can anyone recommend to be the ideal 5-6kva inverter I can get for my 48v system?
It is going to be used completely off grid and will occasionally power a pump.

Pls I need recommendations based on personal experience.
I appreciate.

Going by recommendations here, top of the list are Deye and Growatt.

You can wait for more suggestions from others. Also, put a price range so suggestions can be made accordingly.

buyAride:
Thank you for this education, it is truly appreciated.
I want you to please, shed more light on the bolded parts of your Post.

From what l understand in your post, the Inverter is sized such that it is a minimum of 1.3 x Maximum daily Power Consumption.
If the above is true, using your example of a 15Kw, maximum daily Power consumption,
does it not mean that the size of the inverter should be 1.3 x 15Kw = 19.5 or 20KW Inverter will be appropriate.

but your analysis said 4kW Inverter.

In the additional Capacity example too, where max. daily Load increased to 20KW, the Inverter recommendation was 7KW Inverter (instead of 1.3 x 20KW = 26 (or 25KW) Inverter..

I already alluded this to mis-typing but wanted to be sure, by asking you directly, so l dont get confused.
Thank you.

From his explanation for the inverter sizing.

You're multiplying the total load wattage of all your appliances when used together by 1.33. That is, when you have everything that uses power on, the total multiplied by 1.3.
This is W X 1.3 for inverter

This is different from the total used in the entire day which is Wh (watt hour).
Wh X 1.3 for battery

whippersnapper:
Good morning. Please between FCDA and NECO which one is better in terms of pay and allowance

Last I heard their level 8 is around 100-121k(for FCDA, couldn't verify). A sizeable number of them engage in sharp practices. Do you have info on them?

elaino:
Apply ke? They don't advertise. He knows how it's done. Only few advertise openly. But you can print your CV and credentials and submit alongside application letter in any of those agencies and get a signed copy as evidence of application then give him. (NUPRC should have concluded theirs sha so focus on others).

I usually interpret such response from them as them not wanting to help. They are well informed about advertised recruitment.

chiswagz:
Please is anything happening in Security and Exchange Commission?

I have no info on them

Ermm:
Lol no be say I dey angry, I was just wondering, ✌️

Please I'll like to know if there's a pathway from being a contract staff to becoming a permanent staff in the agency? What's the probability?

Ermm:
What's there to clarify Huh, its boldly written "offer of contract employment" the years were even specified

No vex, my apologies.

Ermm:
So.?

Just asking for clarification. The term used seem like it's not a full-time employment, I don't know how their recruitment is. I had brought it up to someone and their response was that it's contract job.

Ermm:
Someone from my state got this,

It says 2yrs contract employment.

bassdow:
can it go few months without u carrying a jerry can of holy water to top up? ...that's only if you choose to buy the Distilled water in little quantity. You could even go 5 to 6 months without topUps.

In other words, apart from the initial cost of the tubular you'll incur additional costs for the distilled water over the period of time it lasts. Doesn't that drive the total cost up?

Alueheal:
am still in market for this lithium battery,All the one I saw where above the budget..
Please how good are blue gate tubular batteries

For the love of God, expunge that tubular from your thoughts.

State your budget for battery and let them suggest for you.
I believe you've been given some options in the previous pages.

I can see you've gotten the inverter already.

Great review.
What prompted your rating of SRNE over Growatt?

GloryJoyeux:
Hey folks,

Just wanted to drop a solid recommendation for anyone considering the new Deye 6kW hybrid inverter. I recently got my hands on one and have been running it pretty hard to see what it’s made of — and honestly, I’m impressed.

First off, it’s parallel capable up to 16 units, so scaling up is no issue. Efficiency-wise, this thing is tight — I clocked idle power draw at just 30W when running a 1.6kWh load, and it only pulled under 100W even with 4kWh flowing. I also put max sustained load of 6kw, it took it like a champ! That’s some seriously optimized idle-to-load performance.

Now, let’s talk MPPTs. The Deye has a new feature under Advanced Settings called “MPPT Multi-Point”. Game changer. One of my PV strings gets shaded after 1PM, and normally performance drops off hard. But with this setting enabled, the inverter kept pulling full amps from the unshaded panels — like it knew exactly what to do. I ran the numbers — the gain was legit.

Sound-wise, it’s practically silent. It uses just one fan, which only kicks in at high loads. No annoying coil whine either — just a soft whoosh when it ramps up. I’m running 10,280W of solar into it, though it can handle up to 12,000W on dual MPPTs. It charges and discharges at 135A, and with an IP65 rating, it’s perfect for our dusty, humid conditions. Built-in WiFi made setup easy and remote monitoring is clean.

Small Catch:

Since it’s a newer model, Solar Assistant doesn’t support it yet, but I checked — it logs every 60 seconds and pushes data every 5 minutes to the Deye app/web. Accuracy is within 98% of Solar Assistant’s metrics, which is impressive for a stock system.

I also tested it with both closed-loop (BMS comms) and open-loop (voltage-based) battery setups. It handled both without breaking a sweat.

Cost & Efficiency:

It set me back ₦950,000, and honestly? The performance outshines Growatt, Axpert, Sumry, Welion, SMS, Sako — pretty much every other popular Chinese inverter I’ve tested.

One thing I’ve noticed with a lot of these cheaper all-in-one units is they use low-quality conversion components. For example, an SMS inverter I tested lost a constant 4.5kWh/day due to inefficiency. Doesn’t matter if you’re generating 9kWh or 30kWh — you’re losing a minimum of 4.5kWh daily. That’s 135kWh a month gone. Discharge efficiency was also poor — I was only getting 86–89% usable energy out of a 10kWh battery.

With the Deye? I’m seeing up to 96% usable, meaning 9.6kWh out of a 10kWh pack. That’s a huge difference.

Testing Other Brands:

I also tested the true output of other inverters, and most are overrated. A “6.2kW” Sumry unit (sms, welion, sako, powrmr, anern, victor max, daxtraumn etc) barely managed 5.6kW sustained, and a “10.2kW” SMS one capped out at 8.2kW. Turns out, they rate them based on PV input, not actual AC output — which explains a lot.

My Brand Ranking (So Far):
• #1: Deye – most efficient and best built
• #2: SRNE – decent performance, but not quite Deye
• #3: Growatt – solid, but a step below SRNE
• Way down the list: Felicity Solar and similar budget brands

That said, I do have beef with SRNE’s pricing. They’re trying to pass off their gear as premium because they’re UL-listed and in the U.S. market. But their 16kWh battery is way overpriced for what you get. It’s just REPT cells rated at 8000 cycles (anyone can get their hands on this cells, and no guarantee its actually grade A sef), and nothing special inside — no thermal padding, no fire suppression, no fancy BMS features. You can get better-built packs from Deriy, Bicodi, Gospower, Lvtopsun, or Valtech for less.

Quite a long read, if you have any questions you can ask me.

Please who knows the salary structure at fcta for level 8

I think it's somewhere between 100k-121k.
Please is there anything in the works?

Xidget:
It's Garden egg sauce.

Direction
Boil the garden egg, you can add it when cooking yam. Then roughly blend the garden egg.
Blend pepper & Paprika

In a dry fry pan, add palm oil, onions. Fry for some minutes then add the pepper, salt & seasoning. After few minutes, add the garden egg, de-boned fish, ukpaka.

Cook for few more minutes and enjoy 😉

Thank you.

Thought it was just pepper and onions.

Xidget:
Lunch

He's an Adamawa man. Sarkin Adamawa letter is very useful

The traditional ruler I know very well is from the south. What about political class?

Thank you

Mohisah:
That's what u were told or ur assumption?


Meanwhile, i skipped tellin u guys that u should head back to FCT-IRS, their new chair carries nobody but himself😁

Abeg, who can be of influence to speak to him?

Orlando22:
If you apply for FAO Nigeria and got appointment letter please go ahead with what they asked of for it's not scam. I went to the office in abuja the advise is just to get the two certificates required on or before 25th of March and send to them. I'll be getting my Gendiq certificate tomorrow for a cheaper amount. May God help us 🙏🙏🙏🙏copied
