look at another problem right here, same lithium batteries that is said to be be the only thing that will make your solar power every appliance is what this balloon clown below on TikTok claims he can build up. This is how they go around wasting costumers money for their own gains and delivers nothing.

Pov: spot the comment asking of what can power her borehole, nah cry dey load for her.

Wellmadenaija:
He should go to iponri market in surulere lagos. That market is solely powered by solar. I mean the tailors there. They use industrial sewing machines and 1000w electric iron. And no issues. Except anyday of heavy rainfall and cloudy sky. The secret is getting the right products. For the battery liFePO4 is best advised. Avoid buying from alaba if you not know the vendor. Go to any fouani showroom, they stock jinko panels, growatt,huawei inverters and liFePO4 batteries .
The problem is being sold fake or substandard solar energy products

michlins:
the problem with solar and majority of the projects in Nigeria is that people don't know exactly what they want.

They be like "my budget is 3ml" and hunger dey. Vendor will collect your budget and then deliver what he can for you. You go on and suffer the consequences.

Before you go solar, find out what energy requirements and consumption is. You then decide if you want to go off-grid or you want it just for the night. Then choose the right products and supplier

I hope this won’t break the bank. What is the cost?

Helpout12345:
I am at screeding level for my project and will like some expert inputs. I am thinking of using cement screed both internal and external.

Also, please can experts comment on material quantity for 800 sqm internal and 1000 sqm exterior.

I will like your advise on how many buckets (20L) of screed paint, normal cement and top bond I should budget to use.

Thank you for your help.

Hello bosses in the house.

Thank you for how far we have come o. We are currently at tiling level and I have attached the list sent to me.

Do we a have trusted tile seller in the house who can be trusted to give price and supply? I will only deal with you if someone good here recommends your service.

Thank you bosses🙌

Lol, in other words, no money, no honey, nawao , what about those of us doing Kobokobo projects, it means we can't afford your services, huh

rotecch77:
No ma/sir, who born me to say so. Lolz

Like I always say, buying low grade items and expect a long lasting solution is not possible. For example, we have a lot of LED Light in market and if you are not very careful you will buy avery low grade that will not serve you up a two month. I had an experience sometimes back with one of our brother from East. He gave me 2 items of the same name and said one is fake and the other one is original. He gave me fake as original and original as fake.. Bring my an experience person in electrical field. I picked the original which he called as fake product, it was a drama that day because their prices are not the same..

This guy said the one I picked is the original and told me I must pay for original.

There are alot of things to consider when yselecting the inverter capacity;
- Total load - this total load will determine the size of your inverter equipment.
-Autonomy: This will determine number or capacity of battery, number of panels.
All these can be calculated. We have a lot of solar inverter, solar panels and batteries in the market. The problem we are facing in this country is that Nigeria has no regulatory body., our SON(Standard Organisation of Nigeria) is not working. They have turned this country to dumping ground.

I think you guys are missing the point of the discussion or you are avoiding the facts.

The discussion is not IF SOLAR SYSTEM WORKS.

It is a widely known fact that solar system works.

The discussion is AT WHAT BUDGET CAN A FAMILY HOME GO COMPLETELY OFF GRID RELYING COMPLETELY ON SOLAR SYSTEM.

Complete off grid means the system can power ALL A/Cs at home simultaneously, pump water, do clothes ironing etc at all times of the day. In short; do all family home activities like it would be on national grid.

If that budget is close to 40 million as was previously mentioned, then solar is just a compromise for the average family home. It is not the energy solution yet for families up and down the country. Homeowners must be aware of this before pumping money into a bottomless pit.

the 40m quote wasn't for a home...it was for an office complex or so......
2ndly no 2 homes are alike, ac is the major consumer of electricity in the average home, a design without ac and a design with 1 or 2 acs vs a design with up to 5 acs cant be the same. therein lies the physics...doing a proper load calculation vis a vis balancing the solar panels with the battery...if for example a home consumes 20kwh daily,...a good design should hv a battery at least 1.5x this....then solar panels bringing in x2 of this ...if you want a functional, no stories design...a smart installer and client can still tweak with certain aspects of the design to achieve this with smaller budget....but what happens is..a quack installer will just say buy 4 batteries, and 8 panels, it will work, without doing any load calculation.

an acquaintance approached me for a solar job, had fridge.freezer, sumo, 1.5hp ac....totally offgrid, I gave 2 designs, with the least about 4m+ which included a 12kwh lithium battery...the person ran away and went with another installer that gave a quote of 2m+..which included just 4 units of 200ah flooded battery. this quack installer design will fail within 6months...and the owner will now start shouting that solar doesn't work.blah blah blah....when they engaged quacks .in a bid to save money

So from your submission, we can work on the premise that with a budget of about 5 million, using the right professionals, an average family can go completely off grid?

If this is the case, then it makes economic sense. A budget of 5million should be calculated into the total cost of building the house just like we do with borehole, soakaway etc for peace of mind.

Riosystem:
Please note that the cost of goods has risen significantly over time. There was a time when 10 liters of fuel cost only ₦650. Today, the prices of most solar products have increased by two to five times their previous costs. Even before cars became as expensive as they are now, lithium batteries were already priced similarly to some vehicles. Additionally, we are not manufacturing these products in Nigeria; we are only importing and assembling them, which further impacts costs and accessibility.
