Aha! Longi has it, then.

Thanks for your inputs. Longi all the way!

Kindly do understand that an induction cooker's technology differs completely froma regular cooker. Enter market buy any Good enough quality one New / USEd. So long it's an induction cooker, it's energy efficiency would always be much better

6kva deye inverter

10kwh deye lithium battery

You need great carefulness installing panels on a slate roof.. delicate

Bryanluke:
I swear I'm afraid installing this on my roof... my landlord sef told me he saw online that solar panel dey burn house chaii . Is it true house?

Also, pls I wanna ask isn't this a flat roof, I heard some people said it can be placed on it directly without using that rack

mctfopt:
If you buy the cheapo. Have been using mine for more than 4 years now with no issue.

Buy a good brand, don't cheap out and you are good.

Recently upgraded mine this year. Same result.

Don't just buy cheaply made one.

The pot cover of my recent purchase weighs 1.62kg

Let's await the exPlorers. the name gan sef speaks a lot

No be steam punk be this? Bought mine 110k about 2 years ago. I used to use it often but sparingly these days as it has been overtaken by Ninja Foodi.

Electricity can burn down a house, too.

So can the gas used for cooking.

And so can the petrol that people keep in their homes to power these noisy generators.

Many have died from carbon monoxide poisoning caused by keeping a generator too close to their sleeping quarters.

Yet, every day, people use these things.
One thing is guaranteed: if anything is misused, you stand a chance of it becoming fatal.

One tablet of paracetamol is fine for that occasional headache, but if you take 20 at once, you already know what's going to happen.

If you get professional to handle your installation, you'd be fine.

Una president dey use one in Aso Rock...Aso Rock last time I checked is not on 🔥

Well, I still prefer using gas to cook, since cooking is over in minutes

NSEstudent:
Why would you prefer gas though when you have enough storage and or solar power for it?

Gshems:
No one will. My gas is resting. Only used when we want to cook multiple foods like rice and plantain in the morning . The induction cooker go cook the rice, gas go fry plantain

bassdow:
still if you got the storage / capacity, buy an additional induction cooker so while one coks the rice, the other fries the plantain. mayBe you even buy more should in case you wanna cook multiple pots at same time

Gshems:
I no get capacity and storage ó. My battery is 4kw

bassdow:
Lemme speak like typical African/Nigerian

You would get Capacity in Jesus name

Next time you can go for double infrared cooker if you have high battery capacity. Something like this

bassdow:
Solar panel related fire mostly would happen from those using high voltage setUp and that's if not done well. When I say DC is wicked, that's what I mean. AC would diconnect easily during issues the moment it sparks enough (thanks to the physics involved) BUT DC has no Zero point hence would just continue going except the conductor on that section glows enough to burn / melt away breaking the connection.

Once again, those doing high voltage setUps needs be careful especially when not using quality MC4 connectors or just twisting wires together.

Some DIY improvisations are meant for those doing small scale; not those doing something big.

As for placing the solar panel directly on the roof without anything to hold it; that's very dangerous because it would stay but wind / breeze can throw it away and you need not be told the danger when it lands on anything including humans or cars or whatever.

if you can't afford mounting accessories, get one who can use binding wire well enough and the binding wire shouldn't be exposed so it doesn't rust overTime.

If it's a decking, with edges that act like shallow walls, then you could keep them without support though still not 100% adviced as situations could differ

OgogoroFreak:
infrared consumes more energy than induction

Bryanluke:
thanks.. I'm using the binding wire above. I'm on a band A & not using an heavy setup as we do have light and however I'm even thinking of going off grid as my wife and children comes back from shop at 9pm and that's the time we use light, watch TV for an hour and go to bed to sleep with Fan only.

However you talked about the binding wire, if it rust does that mean it'll cut off after a while if it rust .

Lastly, with Just light and Tv I should be able to off grid for night TV, 10w bulb & dc fan usage overnight while everybody goes out in the morning while attached it to a 18v 200w(2 pcs) cux I only have Bsc pwm controller already kept aside

To use this simultaneously, it is better to replace your kitchen socket with a changeover or properly rated breaker. Otherwise, you might be replacing socket occasionally

smallsmall:
Try and use stainless steel wire (the shiny, silver one).
That one will not rust.
Also, l will advise against putting your Solar Panels directly on any iron/aluminum roofing sheet.
Try and get the Aluminum railing, you can go to any Aluminum Village to buy it directly. They use it as Window Profile and it is far-far cheaper from such places.
Safe comes first and above any other thing, let us not take too much fire risk, so we can have rest of mind.
