iyaaliyah:
Goodmorning. Pls help look into this bugdet/breakdown.. pls criticise and contribute.
So my friend earns 230k/month. (468£) She lives with her parent. Doesn't really spend her salàry except on fuel on weekends. She goes with staff bus. So she hardly touches salary. She had a small hair unregistered business (another bank account) but not regular income. Closing balance in salary account at this morning is 1,130m.(2,304£) She wants to spend 5nights in London.
proposed bugdet is as follows:
1. Hotel (kessington&Chelsea)...105£(domitory of 8beds)
2. Flight .................................541£ ethiopian
3. Transportation ................. 20£ oyster card
4. Sightseeing .................. 70£ (some r free)
5. Breakfast/dinner. ........ (hotel comes with free breakfast n dinner
6. Lunch..........................20£
6. Shopping ..................... 100£
Total. ........................................856£

Itininery proposed after research I came up with:
Aŕrives London on the 21st @6.35am
Settles in and rest till 2pm
3pm .......walks round the neighbourhood to earls court station that's close to hotel to the city to get oriented with the environ.(day 1)
Day 2.....go to see London eye + river cruise +madam toussand.....we got this combo @31£
Day 3.....visit to trafalgar square and all the free attraction sites close around, lounge around n take tons of pics. Go clubbing after
Day 4.....(sat) spend the day to see house of parliament, Westminster Abbey and Hyde park., takes london bus to see London at night
Day 5.....(sun) church service @Westminster Abbey, light shopping....goes back early so she can park for departure
Day 6.....(mon)...leaves early to burkingham palace to go see changing of the guard....(hotel check out time is 3.30pm)
We hope she gets back to the hotel by 2pm so she can check out and heads to airport. Flight is 9pm.

Pls who is familiar with this oyster card. Is 20£ reasonable for 5days t get her to the stated attractions?
Is 20£ for lunch reasonable?

Pls help us scrutinize this if there is anything I missed out. Thanks in advance.

nice and informative thread.
Happy New Year to you all.

Nice write up

Solar Power System 101
My Solar Power Story
I managed to get a solar power system installed in Delta State but it was a
nightmare doing it due to all the charlatans at the time, the extreme paucity of data on available
systems and the fairly typical scenario of people arguing with you on what needed to be done even
though they were patently incorrect. I however, managed to complete the system and met some
really good people along the way. I got a number of solar panels and batteries from “EU Trading” in
Alaba Electronics Market (08037151711) whom I paid and he arranged for it to be transported from
Alaba to Delta State. The dude was very helpful and trustworthy throughout and the system has
been in use for about 2 years with no real issues. He didn't give me much of a discount at the time
but compared to the prices I’d seen elsewhere, it was quite fair. The electrician used was based in
Lagos but vetted by family and was very knowledgeable and reliable. The welder used was local
and was given installation specifications by the electrician.
The major equipment highlighted below display the progression from Solar Panels to actual Power
Supply.

Solar Panel —> Charge controller —> Battery —> Inverter —> Power Supply

Considerations For Specifying Solar Power System
There’s no getting away from the fact that the CAPEX (Capital Expenditure) or upfront costs for a
solar power system for powering a whole house (+/- AC’s) are scary compared to the upfront costs
for an equivalent diesel generator. However, a solar system comes into its own over the course of
the first year or so of ownership, as the running costs of a solar power system are near enough to
zero. So if you can afford the high upfront costs for it or can get a loan with a not so high interest
rate then you’re in business.
The next thing to note is that the efficiency of solar panels are not immense and range from about
11% at the low end to up to 20% (However, the energy is free mate so what more do you want!).
This means you need a fairly large surface area to generate sufficient power, but most rooftops will
be sufficient for single dwelling usage.
You also need to ensure the solar panels bought are suitable for for the intense heat we
experience in Nigeria.


Equipment Required
Unit Quantity Source
Upto 250W solar panel depends on system Alaba Int’l (eg. EU Trading
Alaba), Konga, Jumia
Solar Panel Support Rack depends on system Local Welder (dimensions to
hold panels)
Upto 200Ah Deep-Cycle depends on system Alaba Int’l (eg. EU Trading
Battery Alaba), Konga / Jumia / battery
shop (avoid car or large truck
batteries which are cheaper
but dangerous and completely
unsuitable - they will die quick,
and may attempt to take you
with them!)
Inverter depends on system Alaba Int’l (eg. EU Trading Alaba),
Konga, Jumia
Battery Support Frame depends on system Local Welder (dimensions to
hold batteries)
Charge controller depends on system Alaba Int’l (eg. EU Trading
Alaba), Konga, Jumia
Cable Bundle depends on system Electrician will sort this out except
you order an integrated unit
RCD Socket depends on system Electrician will sort this out except
you order an integrated unit
Connectors, fuses and depends on system These should come with the
terminals purchased units
Digital multi meter depends on system These should come with the
purchased units (especially
inverter)

You can also gradually build up the solar power system you want by adding components as you
get the funds. So initially buy an expandable charge controller and a suitably sized inverter
(although this can be replaced with a larger sized inverter later so long as you can sell the used
version for a good price). Remember, the solar panels need to be connected in parallel (and must
be the same voltage as the inverter i.e. 12V or 24V) and you need an even number of deep cycle
batteries.
Also note that once installed it’ll probably be a good idea to let the system charge up over at least
one or two good days of sunlight prior to using it.
If you also have the funds it may be a good idea getting an integrated unit (confirm all the above
components are included) from one of the major suppliers (check Jumia), whom will also install it
especially if in Lagos. They will also install in other states but may charge extra.

Solar panel
The number of panels you source depends first and foremost on the depths of your pockets, then
on the amount of appliances you need to power (and length of time you want to power them), then
on the space you have available (where there’s unobstructed sunlight).

Comparison of Solar Panel Efficiencies
Reference: http://sroeco.com/solar/most-efficient-solar-panels
Reference: http://www.maplin.co.uk/

The specific voltage, amperage and power of the system determine how the panels are connected.
Smaller systems connect a single series to a single inverter, while larger systems connect several
parallel series into a single inverter. The largest systems may require multiple series into multiple
inverters. Shading and panel positioning can also influence the design of the wiring.
The DC wiring from the panels on the roof needs to enter the property in order to be connected to
the electrics in your home. In some cases this may be achieved via a hole is made within the wall
which is then sealed to ensure it is watertight.
Once the wiring has reached the inside of the property, the rooftop section of the installation is
complete.
Typical cost from 20,000Naira for 100W
Typical cost from 80,000Naira for 250W

Solar Panel Rack/Roof Mountings/Anchors
Ideally your panels will be installed in a location where they will experience uninterrupted sunlight.
So the most likely places will be on the roof, water tank or if you’ve got a large garden, there. You’d
also need to make sure it is fixed securely via a metal frame. Also make sure that metal frame will
not start rusting anytime soon, non-corroding but strong materials will be good e.g. aluminium or
steel, however, this will likely be very expensive, so make sure the metal is painted properly.
Likely costs of solar frame installation from 15,000Naira


Deep cycle battery
Typically 100Ah or 200Ah Deep Cycle Batteries (Make sure they are not car or truck batteries),
these will not work
Its a good idea not to completely drain the batteries on a daily basis as some of the batteries
undergo serious degradation after a few hundred cycles. So if you require 200Ah a day then get a
battery bank of 400Ah so you are using batteries on a 50% basis to extend the battery life.
Ideally you want a maintenance free deep-cycle battery
Typical cost from 40,000Naira for 100Ah
Typical cost from 56,000Naira for 200Ah

Inverter
This converts DC power from a battery or set of batteries to AC power for powering household
appliances.
Ensure that the solar panels and inverters are either both 12V or 24V
Reference: http://www./
There are two types of inverters, the modified wave inverters and the pure sine wave inverters.
Main differences include:

Modified wave inverters Pure sine wave inverters
Much cheaper More (much more) expensive
Noisy Not as noisy
Less energy efficient More energy efficient
Generates more heat Generates less heat
Not great with rotating equipment, or sensitive equipment like Runs more like AC power and runs sensitive equipment without any real issue
TV’s, fridges, AC as it doesn't replicate AC operation well as the
output is more like a square wave than sinusoidal like
the AC power from PHCN

Typical costs of inverters
12V 1.0/2.4KVA -> 40,000Naira (modified wave inverter)
24V 2.5KVA -> 120,000Naira (pure sine wave inverter)
24V 4.0KVA -> 142,000Naira (pure sine wave inverter)

Battery frame

Reference: www.otherpower.com
Typical cost from 10,000Naira



Solar Charge controller
May sometimes be built-in to the inverter but not necessarily so.
Typical cost from 50,000Naira for 60A charge controller

Warnings
Be wary of connecting air conditioners to your solar power system. You’ll probably require at least
a 4KVA pure sine wave inverter (avoid a modified wave inverter if connecting an AC). Also you
need to ensure your inverter can deal with the initial surge of power the AC uses on starting it up
(its immense!). Also, this surge in power demand will likely stress out the battery as deep-cycle
batteries are designed for steady charging and discharging and power demand surges may affect
the life of the battery.
You’d probably also want to upgrade your lighting to energy saving bulbs and update your other
electrical appliances to more energy efficient systems.
Number of Panels versus Batteries
The size of your solar power system as previously mentioned will be a function of the size of your
pockets. however, one 250W solar panel may provide around 50Ah or more on an average day so
two 250W panels should fill a 100Ah battery. You could get more than this dependent on the
amount of sunlight on the day and efficiency of the panels.
So I’ll probably have at least two 250W solar panels to one 200Ah battery. I would also have at
least an extra 100Ah or preferably an extra 200Ah battery to reduce the overall charge/discharge
cycle stress on the batteries
I would estimate that for a 3 bedroom house that requires power for some energy efficient lights,
fans and energy efficient TV, a minimum of 2 off 250W solar panels with at least 1 200Ah deep
cycle battery.
2 x 250W Solar Panels —> 160,000Naira
1 x Charge Controller —> 30,000Naira
1 x 2.5KVA Pure Sine Wave Inverter —> 120,000Naira
(1 x 1KVA modified wave inverter can be acquired for 40,000 Naira however this is really a
suboptimal solution and you’ll need to ensure the solar panels are also 12V)
2 x 200Ah Deep-cycle batteries —> 100,000Naira
Installation —> 45,000Naira

GAZZUZZ:


sadly you didnt buy a corrola gearbox, it was for another model but fits in the 1ZZ or possibly they replaced the bell housing. The gearbox currently in your vehicle is not designed to have a preasure sensor in the valve body area.

I have seen corrolas run for years without any transmission issues like this, but if you want to get rid of this code you will need to replace gearbox again with the right one.

Thanks and I think I will just keep my fingers crossed and watch out for any complications.

GAZZUZZ:


did You buy car that way?

No to your question, this is same Corolla I brought to your office sometime ago that the Air flow hose was mix connected which you corrected.
The only thing is that I got this Gear box 3 months ago and this code recently pop up.

Please my Corolla 2003 is showing p2716 code and I will like to know the possible fix.
Thanks for the anticipated support.

Note: Car still drives well but keeps popping that code immediately when I tried erasing code.

Good advice

brojero:


Correct. Never allow voltage of your 12v battery to get as low as 10.5 volts (then it's fully discharged)

To enjoy long life from the battery it should never go below 11 volts

For 24v system not below 21.5v

For 48v system not below 43v

Nigeria leaders has failed his people.

What is the power rating of the fan? How much did you get the items?

amedualiyu:
Hello House, I just bought 1.2kva mercury inverter and 100ah mercury battery. With just one ceiling fan, it does not last more than 7 hours. Is this ok? Comments please

Ok

Good work ���

SolnergyPower:
I have a 250W solar panel specification image attached to this post. Your specification should be within that range.

Since your inverter is 24V, your panels should have been connected in parallel thereby increasing your resultant charge current by a factor of 4.

There are factors that may be responsible for your low charge current of 11A at peak period.

a. The size of the cable that you used in connecting the solar panels to the charge controller. This must be a flex DC cable and should be at least 6mm. 10mm is better. The same size of cable that you used in connecting from the panels to the charge controller should be the same that is used to connect from the charge controller to the batteries terminals.
b. The orientation of your solar panels. The panels should directly face the sun at about 1:30pm.
c. Connecting the panels properly ie the panels should be connected in parallel in this case to have a higher charge current (amperage)

Good

SolnergyPower:
Please check the back of the solar panels and to see a similar image attached to the post, snap it and post here.

We take your questions from there.

Great information

SolnergyPower:
This is the order. Solar Panels >>>Batteries>>>Inverter. So inverters do not depend on solar panels. Rather, batteries do.

Solar Panel Charge Calculation
Power = Current x Voltage. Energy = Power x Time. So your 12V battery of 150Ah needs 1800Wh of energy (12 x 150). So a 25W PV panel would need 72 hours at full output (1800Wh/25W).

For a more accurate answer, you need a lot more information.

The output of the panel at any moment will depend on:

(1) the voltage, (which will be determined by the battery, and will change as the battery charges)

(2) the ambient temperature, and

(3) the amount light hitting the panel. The amount of light hitting the panel will depend on panel tilt, orientation, overshading, weather, altitude, location, time of year, time of day.

Nice one

This post is for inverter users, most of my clients using inverters are complaining of low or no phcn to charge their battery
and we all know charging using generator reduces the life span of a deep cycle battery.

Solar is no longer expensive as it used to be, I am going to give the current market price of all solar equipment so you have an idea

Part A
1 Solar Panel
A 12v battry rated at 200Ah needs about 300w or 400w panel to charge the battery full. [assuming 7 hours of sunlight a day]
The available panel in the market are 125w and 200w

Option A
So if you are going to use 125w panel, then you need 2 or 3 panels per battery depending on your pocket.
[Recommended for 0.8kva inverter]

Option B
If you are going for 200w panel, then you need 1 or 2 panel per battery, depending on your pocket.
[Recommended for 1.5kva inverter]


2 Solar charge Controller
A charge controller limits the rate at which electric current is added to or drawn from electric batteries. It prevents overcharging and may protect against overvoltage, which can reduce battery performance or lifespan, and may pose a safety risk.

12v, 15a is recommended for option 1
24v,30a is recommended for option 2

3 Cables
Depending the distance from where you mount your panel to the battery

4 Angle Bar [optional]
Angle bar is the frame upon which the solar is mounted, althought the last one is optional. If you have a roof where you can access, then there is no need to make Angle bar.
