Yeah, Chinese are that stupid. They can't make 240V appliances, and that's why they sell no electronics in UK, and Nigeria.

Even their solar panels are limited to 110V, which is why you only install them in America?
How you convert a110V single phase appliance to a 240V . Easy Add a step down transformer from the 240V outlet. That's another gadget .
With 3 phase industrial devices either use a transformer or a variable frequency drive . More expenses .

Americans buy a lot of electrical and electronic stuff . How many you think Chinese warehouses have in store,that are facing 104% tariffs ,And that no other user anywhere else will buy - because first it's expensive and secondly need 240V to 110V step down

man is lying through his teeth cheesy cheesy cheesy

he cant say he does not know about jinko solar panels or felicity - at least those ones are not chinko/chinesium
Almost all batteries especially Lithium are Chinese made. Countries import grade A cells and assemble them with a different brand name such as Growatt, Ecoworthy. It's UK made but the cells are Chinese. They just get the casing ( from China too) ,add a BMS and voila ,a UK or America made battery.You can also get a Chinese assembler to brand them gbola or whatever fancy name you choose.

The two top solar panel manufacturers are Longi and Jinko. Chinese companies.

Solar panels are not all 12V. They are made of cells anywhere from 36,48,60 or 72 upwards to the half cut 120 or 144. Each cell has 0.588V or so so you'll find some with 21-50V when open circuited. But they have nominal rating 12,24,36 or 48V .
I've had enough problems importing from China,as you mentioned sone have no manual,can't get a refund easily if at all you ever

The solar panel sitting in my house in Nigeria is 48V

That would be a 144 cell, half cut in reality it's 72 cells. They are more efficient, they will go up to 50V.
Ordinary 72 cells are nominally rated 36V but the voltage with just a meter between the positive and negative is around 42-44V with a Vpeak of 40-4V.

He probably uses 100W panels,nominally rated 12V but with an Open Circuit voltage of 21V. Today it's pointless to use 100W ,the costs are really down, most users are doing 450W upwards to almost 680W

Panels have a 25 year warranty of sorts. Batteries, inverters and separate charge controller, get a buyer at a reasonable price.. sell pronto. More efficient ones are coming out that you can also integrate into a home assistant.
The prices are also really down thanks to competition and climate change Activism.

For home use below 10KW.
That's a PWM controller. Very cheap.
You should use MPPT charge controllers.
Inverters integrated with a CC are all MPPT nowadays
They are upto 30% more efficient. They also just accept a range of input voltages say 100V upto 500V.. You just connect your panels and make sure the voltage from the panels doesn't exceed their rated input ....

Canada, along with parts of South America, Japan, Taiwan, and Saudi Arabia, primarily use a voltage range of 110V to 127V AC and would buy if cheap enough.

Half cut cels 144 are the rage nowadays. More efficient.. Their Vóç goes to around 50V or more.
You have a choice between Ntype and P type too.Tje figure you want to look at practically is the NOTC but STC is the official rating .

Didn't have to type this,the bit is correct here.


STC (Standard Test Conditions)
Definition: STC refers to the conditions under which solar panels are tested to determine their performance.
Conditions:
Irradiance: 1,000 watts per square meter
Temperature: 25 degrees Celsius (77 degrees Fahrenheit)
Air Mass: 1.5 (which simulates the solar spectrum at a specific angle)
NOCT (Normal Operating Cell Temperature)
Definition: NOCT measures the temperature of the solar panel under real-world conditions, providing a more practical performance metric.
Conditions:
Irradiance: 800 watts per square meter
Ambient Temperature: 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit)
Wind Speed: 1 meter per second
Key Differences
Purpose:
STC is used for standardized testing and provides a baseline for comparing different solar panels.
NOCT reflects more realistic operating conditions, giving insight into how panels perform in everyday situations.

Saudi is 220v tho.

this is the thing. for an industrialized china, it is not a big deal. a competent road side electrician can rewind the transformers of devices to run on 110 volts instead of 220 and vice versa. it is just small component swapping that can be done at the factory.

I was not fully invested in solar. I just had a little bit of everything. Electricity was constant enough; the generator was for the night. The panel was for during the day in case we have transformer issues. At night, the Gen takes over and charges the batteries.

Yes, they did and I think it is clear again from what happened this week alone, their evaluation was wrong.

But, no one disagrees about that evaluation, a point that you keep bringing up that you you think helps your case.
Does it really? No, it doesn't.
The question is the lack of education, lack of critical thinking and hatred for minorities that led them to that evaluation when most metrics say Biden was a better President than Trump esp. on the Economy.
But you have to be educated and/or reason without bias to know those metricas and then to take those into account.

Your argument seems to be, because Trump was elected that means that the things people who elected him believed about him were true or something to that effect.
Very weird analysis.
One of the worries of the framers and part of the reason they created the Electoral college was fear that the populace would elect a demagogue.
That seems to have happened.
Biden placed his 4yrs on the table, Trump plced his 4yrs on the table

They both made an argument for why Americans should give them another term and the majority went to Trump

If people believed Biden tenure did better , Kamala would be president now

https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-HP-Dell-and-others-suspend-US-shipments-for-two-weeks-due-to-US-tariffs.996427.0.html

Commercial Times reports many companies have suspended shipments to the US following President Trump's tariff announcement. Some of the affected parts will include laptops, smartphones and networking gear.

Razer said it would pause selling goods in the US following President Trump's tariffs. Before that, Nintendo had to delay Switch 2 pre-orders for the same reason If you were hoping to substitute your Razer Blade with a similarly specced offering from another OEM, you might be out of luck. Commercial Times says a few other major players have decided to suspend shipments to the US.

They include big-name players like Lenovo, HP, Dell and A-Share (likely a bad machine translation for Asus). Shipments have been delayed for two weeks, and there's a chance they could be pushed back if the situation doesn't resolve itself in the coming weeks. Affected parts include laptops, smartphones and other network communication devices. However, the situation isn't all that gloomy. Some manufacturers are working out tariff sharing deals with customers, while others intend to ship as per schedule.

It isn't known if PC hardware components will be affected, but there's a good chance they will. High-end Nvidia graphics cards are hard enough to get as it is, and now, they'll become even rarer. Even mid-rangers will eventually run out of supply, resulting in higher prices for whatever remains. Either way, if you're a tech enthusiast in the US, the next few weeks might be rocky.
you are a nigerian

you know exactly how this will turn out.

from 2006 to 2015 a brand new corolla was 4m or so. crv like 7m or so. then in 2015 customs increased import duty and the price rose to 18 -24m or so. of course that was the beginning of the end of most corporate entities buying cars for staff.

customs has continued raising import duty, to the point where most people just say fk it and buy naija used cars.

it is the consumers that will suffer. anyone who has cash will be scrambling to buy things he /she wants because this may be the last time they will see them at those prices.

china will be fine.

Why are Adam Lanza, Dylan Roof, James Holmes, Nicholas Cruz still alive? People who were caught in the act and who confessed to the act. Is it because they were wrongly accused?
Except you said the execution should be within 30 days. Those guys execution will take some ttime. There have been people wrongly accussed for example the guy wrongly accused of the Boston Bombing who committed suicide because of the accusation. Then it was latter found out he was wrongly accused.

The pause in execution allows for a more rigorous process to ensure an innocemt doesn’t get executed. Your haste to execute will do just that.

Purple lights, lol. My nephew wants lights too, so I've told him he has to pay the electric bill in the house and he agreed. Plan is to learn to build for my super rig in the future sometime, so we'd be selling this build. He convinced me lights are a selling point.

We struggled getting a motherboard. One with a usb-c port we ordered from Ebuyer could not be delivered, and we'd already got the other components, so we've gone with what is available quick. Will definitely take more time to get the components we want for our next build. It might be an AMD. As GloriousGbola said, 13 and 14 gen Intel is crappy.
sorry to bring you back here

the pc is only half the battle. the other part of the equation is the games
every thursday since 2018/19, epic games has made one or two games available for free. all you need is an epic games account . bookmark the site, login and claim the games within a week. every december they makes they do this for 10 to 14 days.

you can create an account for your nephew and show him how to get the games

if you have an amazon prime account, amazon has been trying to get into gaming for the past 2 years, and they also release some free games every thursday

https://gaming.amazon.com/home

https://store.epicgames.com/p/river-city-girls-e6f608

though as omo obodo oyibo they may say they only want steam

also the below

https://www.reddit.com/r/FreeGameFindings/

the good people of reddit have a thread with tips on how to get most of these games very very quickly


you can give your nephew this link if he/she does not already know about it

https://www.reddit.com/r/FreeGameFindings/comments/1jw08qd/epic_games_mobile_game_bridge_constructor_the/

a steam account is a must and there are also some great free gems on steam, and every once in a while , a developer may make their game free for a limited time

more importantly, steam has sales every four months so if you wait , you can get games at very deep discounts - no need to buy doom eternal at 50 quid when it will go on sale and you can get it at 10 quid

also a gog account

finally, you can also get a microsoft account. what makes a microsoft account very very very cool is that you can create a family. and then set them up with access to your microsoft store account. the way it works is - if you buy a game on microsoft store, you can install it on 10 different pcs and they can all play the game with their own accounts at the same time. proceed with caution sha - before your nephew buys games on the store account without permission

Even better - xbox pc game pass.
