they told me they will call me when they fix it, below is the receipt they gave me, I will still bring it back to collect the induction cooker once it is fixed, I didn't pay any kobo as it is still under warranty
Unfaized:
Hahaha.. Hope they were able to fix it though.

the first issue I was having was wen the induction cooker start misbehaving if I increase the cooking power it will decrease on it own, so one day I open it up and I saw lots of little cockroach hiding undernith The touch panel, I clean it up and screw it up and everything was working fine same thing happened again and I decided to buy green leaf(cockroach killer) I put it in every comer inside the induction cooker and I couple it up again, it was after this I notice the cooker was working and stopping occasionally while the power light is still on, right now am in fouani service center with the cooker for repair, I came with the receipt and they are working on it bcus it still under warranty
The IGBT and/or the bridge diode (BD1) don get fault

Why was there no carton when you bought it?

What is the total cost of this setup?
It suits my home plan.
He quoted 4.6 million including installation charges

He quoted this 3 months ago so some prices, I assume, might've changed
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by just2endowed: 7:19pm On Jun 13
Transformer base hybrid inverter 2.5kva vs transformerless base hybrid inverter 2.5kva both 24v.

Whats the real difference here using on a 200ah lifepo4 lithium battery?

If you're going totally off-grid I would suggest 10-15kwh battery.
PlayStations are power hungry.

Try and find out their power ratings though for better recommendations.
Thanks for this

From the little I've checked, ps2s draw around 40w give or take

PS3 slim is 75 watts give or take, same with PS3 slim

PS4 slim is around 150 watts
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by jFrankNorfleet: 7:24pm On Jun 13
twinskenny:
How many number of 615w panels?

Go for direct 16 or 15kwh battery

And also the installer need to list the size of cable to be used and also the size of the breakers
He said 8 bifacial. What size of cables and breakers would you recommend based on what I've said so far?

First this list looks like it was copied via searchEngine.

Secondly, you failed to equally include the wattage of the Games themselves.
From the little I've checked, ps2s draw around 40w give or take

PS3 slim is 75 watts give or take, same with PS3 slim

PS4 slim is around 150 watts
it also failed to specify the quantity of solar panels
8pcs sir
Also except brand names are included, doubt we could do much vetting of the accessories you shared which even don't seem to have enough information to be sure it's for the rated load.
what brands would you recommend?
meanWhile, shouldn't you try to keep costs low or you sure you would recoup the costs of all these within 2-years from said business? Just wondering.
Im here for long haul
Couldn't respond yesterday because I thought others would have done so by now.
Thanks

Ps4 slim draws 90w
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by osayuwamwen(m): 9:00pm On Jun 13
it is wat I brought to the service center they specify in that receipt as I didn't go with the carton I have already disposed it off the day I bought it from fouani

I got this from ai answer

"The PlayStation 4 Slim has a maximum power rating of 165 watts. However, during actual gameplay, it typically draws much less—averaging between 110 and 145 watts, making it the most energy-efficient model compared to the original PS4 and PS4 Pro."

It was roughly 18k before the high demand. Saw them on jiji alaba for 35k.
I see.

I hope the performance matches those of Maxi.

Do you use the maxi? How good is it, how many watt do you put it for cooking

you didn't specify your location. Also the word "CHEAP" is relative so what's CHEAP for one, could be EXPENSIVE for another

Any used system available for sale ?
As I no get funds to install new one let me just go for fairly used Biko

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Iinnov8:
If you need a stand-alone inverter with amazing power at good price, then consider the 3000w Pure Sine Wave Easun Inverter for 95

Peak power is 3000w, and continuous power is 1500w.

This inverter can power home appliances such as washing machine, deep freezer blender, pressing iron, microwave, toasting machine, and even a 0.5hp pumping machine and inductive electric cooker, as long as the total power pull at a time does not exceed 1400w

It is also very energy efficient, consuming less than 7w to power itself, so your batteries will last longer on it.

Most importantly, we provide after-sales support through repair services and even Swap programmes. T&Cs apply

Visit our dedicated thread to read testimonies and feedbacks about the inverter:

Omoh but can this cooker work conveniently with a 12v 1.5kva hybrid inverter? Cos this gas palaver fit make person Dey think, especially for family man like us

Gshems:

I use the maximum 2100W when I want to cook something quickly. Sometimes I use the max power to start up before reducing it to about 800W or so for continuous cooking. The performance is good enough but I wouldn't mind testing new cookers.

Go ahead.
Inverter to battery cable 50mm².

Avoid this moniker here to avoid being scammed

He's the same person as Stephen ayantoye the impersonator on nairaland

Check my post to confirm please
Bryanluke:
it's cool.. with 1unit @ 45minute..
It's still equivalent to a normal hot plate .. it's just a lil difference but this is cool as one can use it with inverter/solar system
he'll ask the mods to delete my comments soon

Seun take note please

Transformer based inverters are much stronger and can withstand abuses better.
They are also heavier hence mostly on the floor unlike the TransformerLess that could be installed on the wall to occupy less space.

Another major difference is that Transformer based inverters are power hungry AND would cop more battery than transformerLess inverters most times. OfCourse that is not often obvious during the day if using Solar panels BUT at NIGHT when no more sunLight, it becomes obvious especially for much larger inverters with larger transformers.

Another is, if transformer based inverter goes bad, probability of successful repairs is very much higher than TransformerLess inverters.

At end of the day, they both have their Good and Bad sides so you get to choose which poison to manage.
