Story. I will buy materials and bring to you, bro.
That's how i have been doing mine from January till now.
Which seller you wan go connive with

You went to buy yourself it's different.

Read what he posted earlier

floshady02:
@Lampert505 after getting prices on jiji, get a pen and paper, modify prices in your quote. Turn the table around, give the quote to your engineer or whoever is buying materials and tell them this is what they should buy. They will try to still convince you by saying your own prices is wrong but don’t give in stand your ground. When the person buying for you gets to to where they want to buy, out of nowhere, ask to speak to the seller also and negotiate price yourself and make sure you pay into the sellers account. Don’t be weak or shy with people you are dealing with, they will reap you off and take advantage of you. Stand your ground. It’s your hard earned money.

You can't successfully cut cost with this approach.


You negotiate.

Besides, if you send the person, he can connive with the seller and still cash in.

My own no be lesson.
But I want to ask how do small business manage to pay their staff salaries even when they know the business income is not steady

freeAgent99:
I bought this fan some months back and it has started "misbehaving"! It recently developed a mind of its own by going into highest level and coming down to the lowest level. It doesn't accept any command from the remote. I don't know if anyone has experienced such or knows a solution to this particular problem.
Anyone?

Fall back to your regulator

AI is not all golden, but I agree it advances alot of thing, but it still hallucinates, I will advice people to go indepth in Software engineering because the basic tasks like Web design, Crud apps would be taken over by AI. I use Claude and was really blown away at the code it generated for me, but then again AI prompt + software engineering skills will really accelerate things and the same thing reduce the needs for X number of SWE.

Blue collar jobs never looked more sexy than ever

No be lie.

Whey AI wan dey fix solar Abi he wan do plumbing Abi he wan turn mechanic

OLAZK:
guys please does this worth it for #290,000 I want to buy it currently, the solar containing:

160W Solar Panel (Optional)
A unit of 75Ah Battery (ANY BRAND)
A unit 3000watt inverter
20A CHARGE CONTROL
15W DC 16INCH FAN INCLUDED


thanks in advance for your valued advice 🙏

No Nepa charging?

sonofsteven:
I've got a solid advice for ya

Pursue your career

When you get some certain amount of success, go for sperm donor, carry pregnancy and deliver as much as you want and continue your life

If you are unable to carry pregnancy, or pregnancies, pay for surrogacy, have your eggs taken and fertilized in another's and you pay them

So it won't disturb your career

Who go come give her the companionship,love and support .

Mind you children is not the bone of contention here.

Kintowi:
Can this protect my inverter from surge damage or lightning strike.
I also see people mention DC breaker, is it better for protection?

No. This is just an ordinary over/under voltage delay protection

fuckboys:
okay, I guess it's normal.

Yes definitely

fuckboys:
morning Chief, please why's my charge controller reading the battery voltage different from the inverter reading of the same battery ?

Multimeter reading of battery at the terminals of battery also different from both the inverter and charge controller, please any explanation for this?

They all different by 2 units, multimeter would measure 13.6 while inverter 13.4 and charge controller 13.2.

Different degree of precision and tolerance

twosquare:
🤣🤣🤣

Installer destroy am ke? Wonders shall never

Exactly, you will see how unprofessional the installer is all all that but this things are bound to happen

twosquare:


If I had known, I may not have gone for it, but the deed is already done. Looks can be deceiving. I think these guys should work more on weight and portability, as some are already doing in the industry.

If owner dey express him concerns like this,
Imagine say Na the installer destroy am .

dollarnaira:
There is no way 200+ will be charged at the same time. Did the customers planned their meeting point at the same time? ;DPhones get fully charged at different hours.

I know.
But then the guy said 200+ devices

Alexta01:
Wow thanks. Let me check it out. Any counter measure against solar theft?

200+ phones is around 4000w oh.

Since you are using for business, you might end up spending up to 5m if you want to run it efficiently.

I will advise if possible maintain your gen(consider using biogas) and use solar if load is within a predetermined range.

RealSean:
ahh nawa so how much go fit over all these listed items boss? Yeah one ox fan and normal fan

You are looking at 4.5m up

RealSean:
ok thank you sir. The items I would love to cover are atleast a 42 inch TV, a mini fridge, an inverter 1.5hp ac, 2 fans, a PS4, a few bulb lights and dstv. It's pretty much all the items I use that requires electricity. Thanks in anticipation

Your load Na Wetin big man dey use .
That 1m budget, can only manage to provide power for the tv, light, DStv and fan (I want to assume the fan is not ox because wahala go dey)

How Can Nigeria’s Banks And Politicians Work Together To Promote Solar Power For Everyone?

Hi everyone,

Solar energy has the potential to transform Nigeria’s energy landscape, especially with our erratic power supply and high generator operational costs of petrol and diesel. However, adoption is still slow. I believe the government, banks, and solar companies need to collaborate more effectively.

For example, the government can provide tax breaks for solar projects, while banks can create low-interest solar loan schemes for individuals and businesses. With better political will and financial support, solar power can become affordable for most Nigerians.

What do you think? What role should politicians, banks, or private companies play in making solar energy widespread in Nigeria? Let’s discuss!

I think there is a tax wavier on solar panels already, what we need is more investments (although some companies has started providing loans for financing solar project, how the interest rates are not encouraging)


I think government should focus more on combating importation of finished solar products (this way, a lot of jobs are created, while monitoring the standard of products that goes into the market)

RealSean:
Good morning house. Due to the situation of the country and how electricity seems to be declining as the day goes by. I was thinking of opting for solar energy, I would like to know what's the best package 1 million naira can possibly get. Like a total breakdown would be much appreciated. Thanks in anticipation

Drop a Break down your load..
Irrespective of your load, the cheapest package you can go for will cost you between 750-850k.

The package will include
a mppt controller, 100A lithium battery, a unit of solar (440w) ,wires installation etc.
It will include

Inverter Cable available for Sale, call or WHATSAPP 08035537864 if you need it

Dash us the cable

Please add me to the group.
Am trying to get certification in marine engineering I don't just know where to start from

I think it's more advantageous to use 4s than 3s.
Easy compatibility with charge controller

omotoda:
You have exceeded the Max VOC rating for a 24v set up for PowMr.The max VOC is 105v.You can't go beyond 2units of 280w in series for a 24v set up.You are lucky your CC hasn't fried. What brands are your panels? I am sure they are not up to the rated capacity that's why your CC hasn't burnt!

It wasn't exceeded check the PV voltage

smitashah227:
Hello everyone,

I'm currently considering Jakson solar modules for a solar energy project and came across their product offerings on their website. I'm particularly interested in learning more about the key features and performance metrics of their solar panels.

Can anyone share their experience with Jakson's solar modules in terms of efficiency and durability?
What makes Jakson’s modules stand out compared to other brands available in the market?
Are there any specific maintenance requirements for these panels?
How do Jakson's products perform in varying weather conditions, especially in areas with extreme temperatures?

This your post be like advertisement
But let's check it out

imatejammer:
I got this quote for an inverter set up to power 3 Panasonic ceiling fans and 6 energy bulbs for 6 straight hours: (No solar panels)

SMARTEN 1.5KVA INVERTER---------------------------200k
STARPLUS (TUBULAR) BATT 12V/200AH-----------260K
CHANGE OVER BREAKER------------------------------------8K
RACK -----------------------------------20K
LINE MONITOR ----------------------------------12K
INSTALLATION FEE ----------------------------------35K
T O T A L--------------------------------------------------------535K

Is this a fair quotation?
What if I want lithium battery IN THE MIX? what size and price?

I think this is fair enough.

Ray1251:
Please quick question: My solar panel (Jinko 555W Monofacial Solar Panel) has a Short Circuit Current (Isc) of 14.07A, panel's maximum fuse rating (30A), which would be connected in series. The Required breaker size would be 14.07A × 1.25 = 17.59A, meaning I would need a breaker with 20A, right?(connection from the panels to the breaker then inverter). I wanted to confirm if this calculation is correct ? installer said we would need 65a for the setup ?

What are his reasons?

bassdow:
You see that 300 watts panles eh, they are not just heavy BUT wide, and to carry am climb ladder, especially for any building more than 2-storey, na better work.

What I often do is use rope to pull it up because if e fall or hit something well enough, you don buy market BUT it never occurred to me it could stay on it's own without support.

Naim easy pass to install.

I personally feel onces the installation area I very high, smaller wattage should be used

Following this roof discussion, but let me digress no be for This thread them say installer workmanship was too expensive

Bb007:
Any idea of the cost, durability and if there is any particular brand to look out for when buying a solar water pump?

They are durable
Cost should be around 800-900k
For brands I cannot say much about it, but I mostly install Myhome

Bb007:
Please is anyone here using a solar water pump or have installed one. I am looking at installing one in an area with no light to pump water, but i can't find much information online.

Compared to setting up a small inverter system to pump the water, which will be cheaper if one is working on a budget?

What information do you seek?

Both options has its advantages

HanisahZuwy:
Please what are those happening places? I really want to be able to earn something so that I can take care of some basic needs and other things. I've tried sites for some days because I have experience in iron works, but... it was hectic, maybe because I'm not used to it. I'm into industrial cleaning, but getting houses is another thing altogether.

By iron works , you mean say you be iron bender?

No vex

tetralogyfallot:
I already have for battery packs but I'll consider for the small small consumables too sha

Your bank's where is your Lagos pick up incase one wants to buy?
