Funny enough, I own 7 DC fans all bought used both from Arena market at Oshodi, or from Aboki kuleKule - actually bought 2pcs from Aboki kuleKule. Not sure the most expensive among them is up to 10,000 naira as prices then were cheap. if I still see another today, I go buy am.

Paid a client visit, saw a condemed DC fan and I asked if they needed it and they were more than glad to give to me - na so I inherited it.

NowAdays, I kinda priotize USEd Quality items over brand new ones hence that expensive quality + premium item because cheap USEd.

I don set ma eyes on 2 fans somehwere wey dey suffer under the rains, the moment I inherits them, I would convert them to DC - all I need do is change the motor which I haven't done before BUT know should work.

in other words, those of una with standing Fans wey still dey use NEPA, you could actually convert it to DC if you change the motor. if you no sabi, pay money to person wey sabi around you.

I plan doing same to a blender I intends inheriting when I pay my people a visit.

Me sef dey some threads for over 4-years but on ghost mode. Some go think say as I dey always talk here, na so I dey everyWhere.
Bro, what you have is an amazing hack, you are really a DIYer.

What I’m saying in simple term is that:
I have never seen anyone come here to call out Valto or MrReed for e•*xtortion. They are in position to do that, but they don’t (or haven’t). And today, you see how people commend them of being honest and reliable.

Your comment reveals that you and Trippledots will e•xtort someone if you are in such situation. This should let you know that people observe things. And in critical situations that would require a business deal with your or Trippledots, nobody will come near you. I am not sorry to say this, but it is what you just said in your previous comment.
One thing is clear; You are RIGHT and I am Right.

We both RIGHT in our own ways.

glad you included the bolded. If this conversation occured mid or early last year, probably He would have been among the "those who don't or haven’t category. At end of the day, he did nothing new; nothing a lot of you wouldn't given the slightest opportunity.

mind you, (playing the devil's advocate) we're in a free economy where our markets are unregulated hence you could buy something 120 naira and sell 500 naira or more. if he made profits of about 400,000 naira; how sure are you guys He didn't buy those things when they were very costly hence been looking for opportunity to recoup his funds. And even if he actually bought so low hence sold so so high, you can't even hold him for anything because He's commited no offence. A lot of you buy mineral x3 the price att clubs and malls BUT would price the hell out from a (wretched) old lady selling to you at less than 30% of said price.

e get reason why I often seem to attack you guys in here. One thing I have come to realize is, a lot of times, excluding the dubious and greedy ones among us, our financial situation is enough to make us behave in such way HENCE what I do when outSourcing anything is to ensure there's hardly any loopHole to exploit.

Another is, atimes we the ones who amplify our misfortunes hence Person wey no get steady means of livelihood, barely able to afford a poor meal twice a day, despite being involved/married (or in relationship) with someone financially worse than they are, go rush go born child(ren) hence such person don already set him/her self up for such funny characters because even a HONEST man would steal when situation arises.

Some of us are very honest only when we are comfortable; not when we aren't.

Another is, landLord wey him only means of livelihood na the house wey him rent out would find any possible means to extract more than is necessary just to survive. Same with pastors whose only means of livelihood is their ministry, when him rent dey due, even bible verses go change to benefit him.

Woman / wife / girlfriend wey dey make her own money would rarely touch (steal) from her Man.

I have tested you humans enough to know I'm rarely wrong when I say majority of you lots are same. Except you're intentional, the urge would be there the moment you're in need. Add greed and the probability skyrockets.

So when you have such understandings, you know it's just safer and easier to ensure such loopHoles don't exist; because even overGiving to some people ain't enough; dem go still do you strong thing.

And most times, na dem dey make noise pass like say dem dey envy the person in question.

Mind you, you can't say Valto or MrReed don't do such except you're part of their supply line or work closely enough to be so sure.

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by TechGeek777: 8:55pm On Feb 01
Which model did you buy precisely?


KA24DETT:
Na you be efficiency baba. Three DC fans running all night are more efficient than even one AC fan. Most people don’t really understand how efficient DC fans are compared to AC fans — the energy savings can be up to 80%.

When I installed a solar system for my uncle (Big family ), I changed his house fans from AC to DC. Night usage dropped immediately:

Before (AC fans): Average
60W per fan × 5 fans × 12 hours = 3,600 Wh per night

After (DC fans):
25W per fan × 5 fans × 12 hours = 1,500 Wh per night

That’s about 2,000 Wh saved every single night — power you don’t have to drain from your battery bank.

Automatically, your system now needs:

smaller batteries

less inverter stress

fewer panels

This is why I always push DC fans.
You save everywhere from Day 1.

Qasa AC/DC fan on Jumia is around 60k. Maybe cheaper in the market. You will save the cost of purchase on batteries and panels from Day 1.

Bros, i have always been on this thread for more than a year but i rarely post. I summarized my business experience to help others.
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Xanderone: 9:28pm On Feb 01
Good evening all.

So I need a standalone 24v inverter that isn't sachet type and with good (negligible) "no-load power consumption" similar to the sachet inverters and hybrid inverters. The felicity standalone I know is transformer based and is a power hog even without loads. A 2.5kva spec will be okay.

What names/models can you suggest? Thank you.
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Xanderone: 9:32pm On Feb 01
HeavenlyBang:
Nothing special, just take out the LA and plug the cables into an LFP battery.

You can buy 12v LFP from
https://www.nairaland.com/9ijaprince

I have two of his batteries in use rn. One on my fan, the other in a car.
Abeg elaborate more on the bolded. Are you using it as the starter battery in place of the regular LA car battery?

No requirement.. It’s really just a matter of removing the old fan and installing the new one. DC fans have a small built-in rectifier that converts your household AC power to DC for the motor, so everything is handled internally.
It’s plug-and-play. Just get a Qasa AC/DC fan and have a qualified electrician install it like a normal ceiling fan.

You cant beat physics bro. Sachet consumes less than hybrids inverters. Hybrid gives cleaner power but you pay for it with higher consumption. Go with hybrid but add 1-2 extra panels to your system. do you really need a transformer based hybrid inverter? non transformer based are okay but repairs can be pricey, they are dicey.

Felicity has offices in lagos. I know one around Apple Junction at Ago Palce way, Okota area. if you could use google, should be able to locate if they've got offices in Ibadan or those with such knowledge could share.

Also Felicity ain't really high quality BUT they are at least average enough + have lots of physical presence in the country. Felicity is like HP in computers - they are everyWhere hence repairs and parts readily available. Also with your budget, except going for used Inverters, a quality brand new inverter would gulp a large portion of that your big small budget.

As for the person(s) who might have said or suggested "Cworth" , "SMS" as being more superior to Felicity, I don't wanna outrightly say they're mistaken since personally I haven't used them BUT have installed Cworth for a couple of clients BUT persoanlly, wouldn't recommend either of them.

As for SuKam, they are powerful but a lot of them, especially the older versions ain't as efficient as most of the new versions of felicities you buy in their offices. Don't be mistaken, SuKam is a powerHorse BUT the old versions dey chop battery. Just be aware of that especially buying used inverters. Mind you, there are lots of fake suKam inverters also. in fact seems they have stopped manufacturing them not sure but there was a time I heard something around those lines.

As for the likes of Deye inverters, except opportuned to see a cheap good one, don't forget your budget is just a small Big number.
Hi, why would you not recommend cworth?
I am looking at getting the battery and inverter now, so I'd like to know your reservations.

Xanderone:

Bros, That’s an oversimplification. While both are “12 V,” most LiFePO₄ batteries are not designed for engine starting.
Car starter motors need very high surge current (hundreds of amps), which many LFP batteries can’t supply due to BMS current limits.
Generic 12 V LFPs are meant for deep-cycle use (solar ), not cranking.
Only starter-rated LiFePO₄ batteries with high-burst capability are true drop-in replacements ( 2-3x more expensive than normal car battery)
So you can’t just swap LA for LFP unless it’s specifically designed for starting

I use Felicity in my business and have real-world experience across multiple models: the 5 kVA (4/5) in the past, the 8 kVA (3/5), and their newer 12 kVA (5/5). The 5 kVA unit is actually sufficient and performs well for the average household.

My ratings are based on continuous commercial use—about 9 hours per day, 6 days a week, 50 weeks a year, at roughly 75% load and 3x over panelling , which comes out to ~2,700 operating hours per year. I run very high load consistently so i doubt most home users will run their inverters that high.

One of the most important factors when buying any inverter or battery is having a nearby service center. I learned this the hard way with PowMr (No service centre in Nigeria)

No matter what brand you choose, make sure there’s a service center close to you. You’ll likely need it by year 2 or 3 of operation.
I have 2 5kv at a felicity service centre now. this is after 20 months of use.. I have not used Deye but looking at their specs sheet and build quality, it will be amazing. You have to understand, Nigerians are very price sensitive so companies have to build around what nigerians can afford.

Thanks for responding to me. Meaning that if I get a DC standing fan, it would work well with regular grid connections but consume less power
