25kw lohun lohun... You are not nice sir 🤣🤣🤣.
Based on his existing set up plus coming from 4 tubular batteries. A 5 to 10kwh battery sud suffice for him since he wasn't complaining of his previous battery setup.

If he has the money to spare, let him go for the jugular.......Lol

HeavenlyBang:
When you factor in shipping, Fouani will always be cheaper.

Gennex quoted me 75k for shipping of Jinko panels, I bought same panels from Fouani with free shipping.

Same here, bought jinko panels from Foauni and had it delivered at my address free of charge. Oftentimes their jinko prices are even cheaper than other suppliers and yet they are still able to ship free of charge. Can't find a better bargain than that

Betnomore:
I don later buy am on Monday as dem don reintroduce the 20k unlimited subscription. It's very good in my location. Only issue i noticed is the battery pack that comes with it doesn't last long. I realized it has two wifi output. One for 2.4ghz and 5ghz connection. I switched off the 5ghz connection but didn't notice much difference in battery drain. Is there any way to improve battery life?

Mine is a 5g router that came with a Powerbank. Its most times connected to a wall socket. Yours seem different. Don't know how I can help as regards the battery life

Cash and carry judiciary. Did any entity investigate her claim and find it to be false?

Justice doesn't work that way......she is the one that should prove her claims, present her evidence that her claims ain't wrong.

diabeticdeals:
You'd do well to give us the location of this said installation.

Justrite, Kemta Housing Estate Junction. Abeokuta

I saw them installing over 650 number of 550w longi panels today in Justrite supermarket across the road, right in front of my Estate. That's over 300kw of pv . Big companies are turning to solar to power their businesses

You bought a fake Schneider, that place with Schneider name is removable. Try moving it sideways and it'll come out . I talked about the fake breaker here.

https://www.nairaland.com/390522/solar-energy-complement-fta/1346#120371763

I'll advice you look for Chint product to buy. It's around 7k to 16k depends on where you source from.

Thanks......any installer in Abeokuta

My inverter stopped receiving pv input since yesterday. No input or fault error. I put the inverter off and disconnect it from all input sources(battery and pv), yet problem persist. Discovered the pv breaker is burnt this morning(I don't know yet if that's the cause of the problem). Can anybody recommend any good dc breaker both on the battery and pv side. Thank you

The problem is the efficiency ~around 85%. Bulk of the energy generated will be consumed by inverter or lost during during conversion. Its good for large battery/pv system to augment the losses

Betnomore:
Just imagine say i don rush go get the router now, na so i for dey regret as it's been reported that airtel have cancelled the 20k unlimited subscription. Airtel is the most deceptive and sleazy telecommunications company in Nigeria. Dem don do me wayo in the past wey be say I'mextremely careful with them

You are right o....I tried to subscribe last week, only to discovered they've stopped the 20k unlimited subscription. Well, Na dem get customer to lose. My target is Mtn fibre, anytime they have a presence in my area, am jumping boat.

Ferdiwar:
Thank you for your response much appreciated.

I currently have 5x 570w Longi on the PV1 and 5x 625w Jinko on the PV2 which are both doing great.

Will add to more 2x 570w or 580w Longi and 2x 625w Jinko to the setup as I plan on adding a 15kwh to the already existing 5kwh.

Are the jinkos better placed than the longis in terms of orientation?......based on the numbers on the pix, it seems the jinkos are doing better in terms of generation

mctfopt:
The max you can get out of this 580w is 8 in series which is still 4640. Still far from 6000w. I want to go near to 6000w without need for an external charger controller.

You can go for 8 x 625w jinko panels all in series. Attached is the screenshot of specifications

What caused the fire on the roof with solar panels

Smokey5:
Your a civil servant advocating for politicians and antagonising civil servants..
Your village people do you strong things!!

Demanding for 350000, which is over 1000% increase is not feasible na. Make NLC no waste our time.

kingmekus:
Each time I hear this inflation narrative, I always feel we are a conquered Nation, Billions are being stolen on a daily basis by politicians, Ex Governors are paying school fees of their kids in Dollars for years they are not even sure they will be alive, yet there is no inflation, but paying civil servants or making minimum wage a bit comfortable is where we realize that inflation is real, Nigeria currently has the poorest minimum wage in almost the whole world, have you asked yourself why other countries in Africa that pay much higher than the Peanuts Nigeria is currently paying are not facing severe Inflation? If we hold our Government accountable for once , we go die??
Abeg make person no make me vex pass as I dey vex now.

Am a federal civil servant. Who no like better things. But am a realist. NLC can't be using Politicians as yardstick for what civil servants should earn. Have been in the system for some years now to know, no government will accede to those ridiculous increment in minimum wage.

You don't need to abuse people before making your opinion heard. Opinion remains an opinion and it's not a must that we both must agree. Great men learn to speak little and control their aggression/anger.

Nadingo:
Don't mind the slaves. They love their chains. It is not unrealistic for senators to get paid N80m monthly accompanied by official SUVs of N615m each. But it is unrealistic for them to get N500k monthly. SMH

It has nothing to do with what we feel or want them to do. Any increment of over 400% will throw inflation out of proportion, and make our naira more worthless. The prices of goods and services will skyrocket, tax will abnormally increase.....eventually we might end up at our previous default setting.

300% is realistic

Betnomore:
Bro abeg are u sure it is not capped? Airtel don show me wayo in the past with their deceptive advertisement. Abeg can you show me your data usage in a month where u used like 500gb. Cos i dey fear to go buy am now, make story come enter am again. Airtel too dey lie na why i dey skeptical. Me I no mind the speed cos e dey okay for wetin I need.

Check the pix. Got this from the 5g router page

Ayomipoe:
This is an awesome take.
Everyone’s use case is different. 20mbps constant is a wonderful predictable speed and it is perfect for even SME’s.

If you live in an area with 5g and you have unlimited internet, you cannot justify the purchase of Starlink.

However, if you stay in Iyana Ipaja, where your only hope for Fiber currently is Dotmac fiber to home and you need high speed internet ?. Truth be told, most people will be served by 200gb airtel unlimited and never exceed their data cap.

Everyone’s use cases are not the same like this poster said. If you are not already exceeding 300GB monthly, I doubt you can justify spending such amounts to buy the equipment.

Airtel Unlimited is truly Unlimited....not 200gb with 10gb daily FUP. My whole house is connected to the 20mbps Plan. My phone, tablet, wifey phone and laptop. I watch Movies in HD, Youtube in FHD, stream Netflix, download apps and games. Its more than sufficient. The most beautiful thing is the ping. I will always take an averagely fast internet with low ping over an extremely fast internet with High ping anytime anyway.

Ayomipoe:
There is no Airtel Unlimited for 20k.
After finishing the 200GB, you are given 10GB daily that you cannot track the use.

Please, if you have the money go for Starlink, 100% you won't regret it. It has its own issues o, but you will not regret switching. Especially if you live in an area where current Nigerian ISP's are crappy.

No this is different.....this is a data capped plan with FUP. Their unlimited is actually speed capped. Their is 20mbps, 40mbps and 60mbps. Do your research. In my location it's fast, I stream Netflix, stream live matches, and watch youtube in HD

fashrola:
Jumia is selling it for 440k

I bought a brand new unregistered unit on this forum for 425k last week

Airtel unlimited is preferable......Have been using it(Airtel unlimited) since December. Speed capped but truly unlimited. 20000 for 20mbps, You can't go wrong with it.

isangjohnson:
For the first paragraph, check the website of Deye. I'm sure they have a distributor in Lagos. You can go for their 5kva inverter and their 5kwh battery.
For the second paragraph, set up a small 12v system with 1kw hybrid inverter and 12v 100ah Lfp battery or you go for solar generator with 12v 500w/1kw pure sine wave inverter and 12v 100ah Lfp battery.
Most of the solar generators are built with msw inverters and lithium ion. Check the datasheet/specification very well before you strike a deal.
ADVICE: I really understood what you passed through in the past, but that shouldn't make you to be too rigid in your decisions. Let the past go and move on. If most of us here narrate our experience, disappointment, frustration and the losses we've encountered with people in this solar business, you will be surprised. We've learned, we're now stronger and we're still calling people and striking deals them. Lol
There are people that may like to offer professional advice but when they look at the construction of your message, they just ignore it.
Please, it's just a mere advice and do not take it personal.
Thanks Boss.

I like your frame of Mind.....You are blessed

RickyM:
After my inverter got fried, I noticed two days later that the battery started blinking red even though I’m still on four bar which isn’t right and I called to inform him and then that same night the battery tripped off so I took it to his office at Eleyele from Ekiti and he texted me days later that he’s done with it only to get it back and test it with the pure sine wave inverter I got from Valto and realize that it’s still doing the same thing and from full four bar, it will trip off and also after while trying to recharge it back up it will charge from one bar and then straight to four bar instead of charging one bar and then second bar and then the third before the fourth which is the last bar.
I called him last night immediately to inform him that the battery is still doing the same thing and he was claiming it was because it had been left idle for a while which is nothing but a lie I believe.
I’ve been calling him today since morning and he won’t pick up my phone please help me with police plugggggg

Sorry to ask, what kind of battery?.....if it's lead acid, slow charge them(trickle charge) for days, hopefully they might recover and beat sulphation.

Foani jinko prices has reduced......discovered this midnight, i ordered 2 625w panels this morning and has it delivered at my abode already. Those guys mean business.

2shure:
Hello ma people. How una dey. In the last 5days I have spent over 10k on mtn and I can't go on like this because it's zapping data and my money.pls I want to ask ..is there anyone here who has used airtel router. Is there an unlimited data plan. I dont want to be checking my data again because its frustrating and limits my Internet activity. Is there any airtel plan that I can consume at least 30gig a day or more. I want fully unlimited data plan and not capped . I dont want any data limit. I want to Download heaven and earth

Airtel unlimited exist.......ask around in your locality, it's speed based

Dam5reey:
Is your Router 5G or 4G?

I Changed my Router location yesterday and boom, I started getting 20Mbps.. there is nothing like Unlimited Data. Even with 4G SmartBox

Have been using it for 3 months now It's unlimited, its speed capped not data/volume capped. I stream netflix and watch live matches with it, the only issue I have is the ping/latency. When gaming online especially evening period it lags. For me MTN is better in this regard

toptaste:
Airtel "5G" unlimited. It's supposed to be 20mbps but I hardly ever get above 10

It depends on your location. This is what I get with mine. And it's truly unlimited. Have dumped my mtn 5g since using this. Am hoping MTN will jump on this unlimited wagon soon.

Trippledots:
How many PCs do you need? I have 245w, poly cells.

Real capacity, not relabelled.

Do you have pv 280w real capacity with VOC around 37.2v?

bassdow:
Already mentioned sunPower, there also is another called Flames. There are others BUT those 2 I mentioned are readily available in the market (Ojo alaba to be precise)

Sunpower.....is it Chinese or the American(original) version?

easyyoke:
I dont really have much idea about orientation. I have not mounted it on my roof yet. I just placed it outside for now. I want to add one more 550w to it before I put it on the roof. The wire length from the panel to my MPPT charge controller is 10yards. I am using a 6mm pure copper wire. The panel current is rated for 13A under loads. To troubleshoot if it was my wire that was the problem, I actually took both my controller and my battery close to the panel and ran the original panel wire straight from the panel to the controller and I was still getting 275, 280W max at peak sunlight. So I dont think it is my wire. It is a single 550w Jinko Panel bought directly from Foauni stores.
Here is the picture of where I placed it. There is no shading at all. Ignore those other two panels. Those were the first 300w panels I bought. Those ones too are giving me 100W max per panel. So I have been wondering what is the problem. Lets assume those 300w are fake panels, this Jinko 550w is definitely original as Foauni store does not sell fake things.

Nothing is wrong with your panel. My solar yield has greatly dropped since January. Before January i was getting over 2000w instantaneous yield from a pv of 2440w. Now I rarely see 1000w which is less than 45%. The weather hasn't been pv friendly recently.

Yorubahdguy:
Hello my people

I need help. Months back, I had a 6 units of battery, 10kva 48volts inverter and 14 panels installed for me. Though, only 4 batteries are running at the moment and the other two are just connected to charge.

Recently, I noticed a drop. The backup doesn’t last at all. This system usually takes me 24 hours and repeat if there’s no light. But now, once the sun goes down, it doesn’t serve past 6 hours sef that’s even if I’m running just a rechargeable fan and a light bulb. Then, this system would take me till dawn even with my fridge on and I won’t use past 40% of the total charge overnight.

Initially, I thought it was the charge controller so I had one of my boss swap his charge controller with mine, but no changes. Then I realized that when I charge with NEPA, it works very fine. But when I charge with solar, it doesn’t last at all. Meanwhile… I have 14 whole panels.

One of my boss said that dusts has covered the panels due to the harmattan that we need to clean the panels panels which we did.

In summary, system lasts and works very fine when charged with NEPA, but doesn’t last at all when I charge with solar panel.

What could be the issue? I’ve been substituting with fuel because our light is not always constant.

Please, help a brother.

First you need a good audit of your system which you can do yourself..... recently solar generation has reduced due to the season we are in. What are the specs of your panels and batteries.
