Okay.
I think dis is the most common used inverters in households. Am i correct?
Because most inverters i hear about, uses nepa and solar panels to charge battries.
So in earnest you are saying i should leave the solar panel for now and get the inverter and batteries first, right?

With a hybrid inverter you don't need Solar to charge the batteries.

You can charge with:
AC - Grid / Generator.
DC - Solar.

So if you don't have solar panels, it doesn't matter. You can buy the hybrid inverter and batteries. Purchase solar later when you have the funds. Also understand that inverters have Minimum and Maximum Solar Input. Some inverters need certain voltage coming in from solar to work. The same for AC as well, but as long as you are putting in 220 volts AC ( for 220v single phase inverters ) you are good.

I have read through everyone's response to your question, And I am not going to counter anyone's advise given to you.
I have been using Solar electricity for several years and I am still using it now and I also did some installation back then before I stopped.
There are facts about Solar electricity you need to know before you venture into it.its left for you to make your choice
What I am about to tell now, no solar electricity engineer would tell you
Firstly, you can't replace THE MAIN GRID with Solar electricity, solar is there for back up.
It's better you do a household solar system, probably a 2.0kva,24V Inverter 1000watts solar panel, 2 TUBULAR BATTERIES system to carry resistive loads of TV, DSTV,one or two fans DURING THE DAY WHEN THERE IS SUNLIGHT and when it's evening, use it for LIGHTING OF BULBS ONLY.
Use your remaining money to buy a standard generator that can power your AC, FREEZER and other inductive loads.
Do not buy china made, buy ORIGINAL INDIAN PRODUCT that will last you, get the once that has SERVICE CENTRE In case of repairs of minor faults
Install a battery balancer on your 24V battery system
Make sure you do EARTHING on your solar system to prevent LIGHTNING damage during rainfall
I wish someone told me all these facts when I first ventured into solar electricity, I wasted a lot of money before I finally got it right
Don't waste your money trying to build solar system that will carry PUMPING MACHINE ,AC,FREEZERS, ITS VERY EXPENSIVE TO BUILD NOW. TRUTH BE TOLD it will work after installation but not sustainable, because these appliances draw lots of current from the batteries, even if you buy 10 batteries at once, it's a matter of time, the moment one of the battery develops a fault( thermal fault, shorted cell, open cell) it will start to affect others.
And lastly, during rainfall, solar electricity is not always effective, you will have to rely more on your battery backup, at this time try to reduce your resistive loads.
I hope you find this helpful.....JSolar, jerryighodalo@gmail.com.

Investing in lithium iron phosphate batteries is your best bet. High upfront cost, but it's cheaper than Acid batteries down the line. The Chinese make products according to your spec. If you want high quality you will have to pay higher. The so called Indian products are either imported from China or components used were sourced from China. China is winning as far as solar is concerned. Even in the US, we use Chinese products for solar.

48 volts systems are usually better and cheaper. If you have the budget, go for it. Get yourself a 48v growatt hybrid inverter. This will give you a chance to expand in
the future. You can parrallel the inverter and increase capacity easily.

Might be expensive, but if you want to get into solar big time, you will have to go for new technology that will last you for years. If you don't have the budget, then you can go for smaller systems. But I tell you, in the long run, spending upfront will save you money.

Lastly, I agree with your earthing take. I've seen in this forum where people talk about using salt / charcoal with copper to earth your solar panels etc. These things aren't necessary, if you put a Galvanized Steel Rod 8 ft in the ground, that's enough for conductivity.

If these guys played more like a team, we would be up by 4. Why try to dribble everyone when there's a player in front of you?

Osimhen is a beast!

arantess:

The FA or the players involved?

I think their grievance was not playing that last corner or so

The players + the FA. They do that all the time.

No idea why they are fighting the referee. The referee gave them everything to win. It wasn't like the ref was biased against them. The Malian FA should be fined for that behavior.

isangjohnson:

I disagree with your submission in terms of lfp battery quality in USA.
Most of us here are members of other forums dominated by foreigners including USA residents.
Maybe I would drop some lfp battery USA warehouses including reviews from various companies (Docan, Luyuan etc) and perhaps the issue some people are facing there regarding the genuineness of the products in question.
Someone shipped 280ah cells last year October from New Jersey with no signs of use and the manufacturer date of March 2023. He was happy that he has gotten quality cells but when he dropped the pictures of the cells in the forum for confirmation, Steve_S and others told him after the analysis that if he removes the black cover from the top of the cells, they're certain it would show signs of sanding and re-lasering. Of course the cells were not legit.
Most of us are facing the same issue from these dubious vendors. The latest Eve grade A 280ah version comes with double screw terminals and test out at 292-298ah and will deliver the full 280ah working voltage as intended.
We should take note of the terminals being used on the cells. As usual, grade B cells will have welded studs instead of dual hole mountings.
Unfortunately, some vendors are still flogging cells with tapped holes.
Submission: A lot of people from USA are buying fake cells just as Nigerians do.....
If you don't know, you don't know.

What reliable seller will you recommend in Nigeria? In the US for example, signaturesolar is a go to seller of good solar systems, there are other good sellers I can think of. Who can you say is that way in Nigeria, where I can buy these things with confidence? It's been too hard to figure this out.

It's either overpriced, or fake. The point I was trying to make is that it's easier to get good solar panels, batteries and inverter here in the US. I never said there was no fake or shady sellers in the US. In fact, solar installers are known for their shady business practices.

They've been in the game for a while...

Thanks

How reliable are these guys?

Hi guys, I live in the US, but I want to implement solar for my family back home in Nigeria. I am scared that the quality isn't up to what we get in the US. Especially the Lithium Ion Phospate batteries. I was thinking of sending the materials from the US, but the cost will be outrageous. Also, the US uses 120V while Nigeria uses 220V.

My question here is, do you guys have reliable sellers in Nigeria I can buy from? And what brand do you guys recommend? Is there any reliable website you guys buy from? My family lives in Lagos Nigeria.

Your answers will be greatly appreciated.

I didn't read the entire thread, so forgive me if I ask ignorant questions. I already live in the US and will like to ship some solar panels and lithium Iron Phosphate batteries. How much will this cost me? Is it even something you ship?

Thanks.

Can you explain this to me?

We are paying N5000 for what service?

Szilard:


Alternative me and some of my guys use;

Find a pay. pal vendor you trust.

Pay him to fund your Namec.heap (or your preferred registrar's account) with his Paypal wallet.

Pay him in naira

Smooth and efficient

hey, I live in the US. How much do you think people would pay in Naira if I decided to help them fund their accounts with my PayPal?

The intensity of this game was crazy. Egypt didn't know what hit them. This is the best Nigeria have played in a long time. It should be 5-0 because we truly destroyed them. I was shocked with the tactical genius.

We just need to take our chances.

Mistakenly paid SEVIS fee before booking interview. The validity of the SEVIS will expire before the next interview date which is in 2022.

Is there anything that can be done? Emergency appointment for December was denied.

The commentators are enjoying themselves + being racist about the names of the players

The commentator is making fun of us ����

They aren't even pressing for the ball. What a mess

My Mexican friends will eat me up tomorrow. Who sent these boys to LA?

Stand Up!

The goalkeeper thinks they are playing well

cocococo:


Na that one be your problem now?

Lol, I haven't been here for a while. Only to come here for this game and see that this website still operates like the 1950's.

Seun can't employ people to explore the latest technology on this website . No added features, absolutely no changes at all for years. Wtf!

Defense = zero. Uncoordinated lads

So nairaland has refused to change anything on this website for years. Everything is still the same. Makes you wonder what kind of growth this platform is having.

Haha, this is why Rohr refused to pick anyone from the Nigerian league ���. Bunch of losers haha

Chelsea will win this game.

Hannah4:
not really, I just paid my sevis fee on Monday and I’ve already gotten my appointment date since October. I didn’t even apply for expedited interview. And I read here about someone who got expedited without paying sevis too

What's the disagreement? Paying your sevis fee should be the first thing on your mind as you need it during the interview. Whether you book an appointment first or not doesn't change the fact.

That's the only thing I would say.

EmeritusR:


yes but sorry bro I meant, am I suppose to pay sevis fee when I have not yet been given the emergency interview because I want to apply for the expedited appointment but I don't know if it is compulsory for me to pay the sevis fee before I apply or it is after I have been given interview date and few days before my appointment I can then pay the fee?

Sir, like I said. You are supposed to pay your sevis fee before anything.

EmeritusR:
please fellow nairalanders do I need to pay my sevis's fee before I apply for the emergency interview? I would love to know what to do to apply for the expedited appointment, God bless you all for your candid replies.

You need to pay your sevis before anything. You will need it at the interview.

Maryam3:

Try again. There are earlier dates in August

Earliest date is September..

solihp:


Welcome home , that was how you ran away without telling us how the situation turned out like you promised. Hope you've been good?

You don't know me, but I read your transcript last year, how's trumpland treating you?

Haha, I have been using another account
