Download speed is not that encouraging.
They have truly unlimited plan, right?

Even Ronald's cry baby sister is aware his brother is not at the same level as Messi.

Nothing new!

czarr:
I am fighting this stay at home boredom by binge watching YouTube videos and interesting TV series.

At the moment I am obsessed with

RIVERDALE and

BILLIONS.

What series are you watching?

RIVERDALE?
You're joking, right?

uboma:
I have a question please. Between the mono and poly solar panels, which one is the best? Any advantage over the other?

Mono is better but more expensive, I won't advise you to use poly unless you resides in a very sunny side of the far north like Maiduguri.

Mordecai:
@agarawu23, @fashrola, the mppt solar controller works better than the PWM, and is actually more expensive.

Ournolly chose to buy the best of what he needed. It could be his personal preference or as advised by his technicians.

It will serve him in good stead whenever he decides to upscale his generator to say 5kva. So, at this point, I'm happy for him and pray he derives maximum benefits from it.

We'll also appreciate it if he can update us with his experiences from time to time to guide most of us starting up on the solar journey.

After his second year, he'll be the one dishing out orders to the technicians, I'm sure

I will keep you guys update.
Thanks for creating this thread.

This is an obvious indication that Osinbajo is not a Vp for the Southwest but a Vp for the entire tribe.l love this man so much

I am from Southeast and I agree with you.

fashrola:
Even CAT Battery is not sold at that price sef

I don't know what you mean by cat battery but if lithium ion battery is what you mean trust me 200ah new one will cost you close to 600k.

As per monbat price, I saw this on jumia

agarawu23:
they are just ripping you with this ridiculous price I am seeing here. Wtf! 50k for charge controller and 50k for workmanship? 145k for 200ah batteries? I am sure they will buy a plot of land in their village after dealing with u.

I doubt you know the price of the above listed products.

When I inquired about batteries I was given many options, including tubular batteries.
The 2 top dry cells were Quanta and Monbat.
Quanta is Indian product while monbat is European. Most atm points use monbat battery for their machines.
Monbat was 125k then and Quanta was 115k. After the lockdown which saw sudden burst in Dollar to Naira rate to N450 per dollar the price increased to 145k, I heard it's 150k now. Jumia sells at 160k - 170k.
I know about 80k and 90k Chinese batteries but I rejected them.

Solar charge controller has many models, mppt is by far the best and costliest. I was presented pwn which cost about 15k and then the Diamond mppt and I opted for mppt as I want durability.

As per the 50k workmanship, I believe I mentioned wires and accessories too.

Mordecai:
Congratulations on crossing over to the league of independent power generators/consumers. At some point, you would not understand it when people ask you, "you get light for your estate?"

When I decided to begin using solar power, a friend of mine recommended that MTN solar device that costs 4500 monthly for 5 years. After looking at it, and seeing they were clearly ripping Nigerians off, I decided to explore solar energy on my own.

The biggest impediment to having solar power was the tendency of the solar power resellers to place a high price on otherwise cheap items.

They offered me a 1.2kva/100ah installation for 300k. I ignored them, struck out on my own and eventually set up a 2.4kva/200ah system, for about 250k inclusive of cabling and installation. These included two monocrystalline solar panels of 250w each. The only extraneous cost was that of hiring a scaffold to take the panels to the roof.

When I decided, after two years to upgrade my batteries, I got two Viforce batteries 210ah each for 190k less shipping costs. That is 95k apiece. I have ordered for another 250w panel at 36k. Little by little, I can simply get another inverter, and add my refrigerator to the circuit.

I have also observed these resellers servicing people's inverters monthly and I know they are just exploiting their customer's ignorance. In case you don't understand, servicing an inverter is like servicing a television. They don't need any servicing.

This is partly why I am posting this thread. If people know they can generate their own power cheaply, we would be able to set off our own micro industrial revolution in Nigeria.

Our offices, hospitals and schools will benefit. Our dependence on government for power will dwindle. Our homes will have cleaner air. Our night sleep will have less noise disturbances caused by petrol generators. All at a meager charge to our wallets.

I wish you the best of luck on your solar power journey. Encourage others to hop on the train too. Hopefully, one day our country will be better than Korea...

Amazing.
Well done too.

Mordecai:
Thanks Ournolly, for your feedback.

While a 40ah battery will not be expected to take on every appliance in the house, it can certainly ensure that the owner will not have to put on a generator every night for lighting, or to run his fans, or charge his phones.

Secondly, it's easier to upscale the installation at the user's pace than to wait till one hammers to set up a high-power solar generator.

The point of this thread is to make solar power affordable to the average Nigerian low-income earner. I'm left wondering if you belong to that class

Now, I have also powered a 2-bedroom flat with 2 heavy 210ah batteries. The requirements are still the same, with just some upscaling, but still not that expensive.

Solar panels, 24v/2.4kva inverter, the two 210ah batteries, a PWM solar controller and the cabling.

If you do not mind, can you break down the expenditure so we can see what made your installation that expensive?

I don't clearly have the list. Made payment last week and expecting it to arrive on Monday.

The people in charge gave me two options because I requested for the strongest battery - Monbat and Quanta. I picked Monbat which costs 145k each.

300 x 3 mono solar panel 42k each.
1 Diamond mppt solar charge controller @50k
Wire and workman @50k or thereabout.

Everything is not clear yet but they requested for 650k which according to them will take care of everything.

Expecting them on Monday.

I am no multi millionaire but I won't refer myself as low income earner.

As much as I applaud your idea and the clear explanation, I will however let anyone interested to understand clearly that 40ah deep cycle led acid battery won't go far at all.

With 50% dod one can only get only 20ah which makes extremely poor for even 1 room apartment.

I know you were trying to drastically reduce the cost but the above listed is far below the minimum not even mentioning that solar set up cost far more.


I am currently in conclusive part of powering my 2 modern bedroom flat with 2 heavy 200ah monbat battery and the necessary addons. This alone is costing me over 600k.

reggiendk:
How long have you been using it, how much did you buy it and what are the specifications?

Do you have business laptop?

Are they refurbished?

I suggest you ignore those products.
Get yourself original Samsung or LG products and thank me later.

I am currently using an American used Samsung 7 series smart TV I purchased from Chief Nwosu here, so much liking it.

This is horrible!

Dam5reey:
Choose the one that has Capped bandwidth,

3Mbps is about 20k
6Mbps is better at 24k

Swift Unlimited is 24k bit 4Mpbs capped, It works well for me as it is constant at 4Mpbs Approx 0.5 MB/s

6Mbps is not even up to 1MB/S, don't even think I can do Ps4 online gaming with that.

Who is using the smile unlimited plan?
Is it really unlimited?

8th gen?

Trust me you will spend a lot on data, a whole lot!

Great new.
