if u have the means go for LifePo4 batteries.
Not bad at all but ensure you get warranty on those batteries and licensed distributors

Read what you have wrote
You need to calmly read and re-read yourself or call on a friend to explain it to you or better still Google what axial Wind controlled generator is to get better understanding of what you wrongfully called "inverter".

I assemble them myself. Got the cells from Lumos battery packs. Assemble a lot of them and have been enjoying them for a long time. LifePo4 are simply the best. They charge very fast, they are very light, they have very good lifespan, depth of discharge can go upto 90% and still bounce back when charged unlike lead acid rubbish that don't go upto 1000 charging cycles.

plumber will install a float switch in the tank, that will detect the water levels in the tank. So it will switch on and off the machine when required. If you’re not home you will assured that when you get home there will be water in the storage.

The only downside is voltage fluctuations. Some areas when power comes it will be 220V, the next minute he don drop to 170. That one fit go spoil machine.

To protect your pump, install a voltage protection device like this one: https://promong.com/electrical/160-mk-01-phase-failure-device.html

Though I don't encourage people to do this...

Bypassing the prepaid meter is illegal but that's what we use at home. Only energy bulbs during the day then heavy appliances at night.
This saves a lot of money because we recharge when we wish to.
Just like chop 10k pay 1k.


This won't be possible if you have a jealous neighbor cuz they will surely report u.
How did you do it?

The same disco but different energy band.
The band differs in the hours of supply.
For example, band A may enjoy 20hrs minimum supply per day and pay 62 naira per kwh.
While Band B enjoys 12hrs minimum supply per day and pay 46 naira per kwh.
It's depends on the band you are on
we get up to 16hours daily and the price is around 26naira per kw

I really don't know how they are charging some people, I have all the basic electrical appliances in my house including rice cooker.

I hardly finish 1500 naira token on my prepaid meter.

My brother told me that Ikeja electric distribution gave 20 unit for 1k and I still get 35 unit on every 1k recharge.

My question is why is some paying higher than others ?

NB the prepaid meter was done by NEPA official and I never bypass anything and I will never do so.

I pay 1k for 7units. E no fit better for them

I'm too wise for that nonsense! If I ask anyone for price and they say chat me or call me, that's where the conversation ends. Pricing should be in the open. Anyone wey no fit mention hin pricing publicly is a shady person

How about incorporating a sizeable wind turbine to cover for the shortfall of solar panels.

Solar doesn't "work" on rain washed days. And by doesn’t work I don't mean your inverters don't work. Your solar panels on your roof are useless when the rain falls. Zero generation. Remember that the most efficient solar panels are only 22% efficient. On cloudy days the panels have very low production. Often insufficient to match regular consumption

I'm already researching that! I've seen a small wind turbine somewhere in Lagos that seems to be charging the inverter that powers the traffic and street lights somewhere on the island. Do you have any idea about wind turbines?

I think about $7.5k.

Shipment issues and even direct purchase.

You 1000000% Correct.

You sure have practically educate yourself.

I detest all these arrogant solar Gen accessories importers in Nigeria as they refuse to get themselves educated about the types of batteries and chemistry of the batteries they import into Nigeria all in the name of doing Solar Business.

The Advance world have dumped SLA Batteries. The ONLY WAY YOU can make a SLA battery last upto 10years or more is to use resonant pulsing circuit and further use a pulsing circuit to discharge it into supercapacitor bank before linking it up to an Inverter using Heavy Duty or Amperage High Frequency Diodes.

There is even another type of Battery in the Market now that is more better than LifePo4.

LifePo4 is the upgrade of Lithium Polymer and Lithium Polymer is the upgrade of Lithium Ion.

Thanks to those Chinese, you can easily now assemble a whole 200Ah 24V LifePo4 Battery with Protection. All the parts are avaible on aliexpress.com

You can build the casing for the pack using locally available PVC.

Whenever you are ready to go for a WI d turbine which you can actually Build and install yourself, never buy Vertical Wind Turbine!!

Never.
Buy only Axial Wind Turbine only.
