Georgry: No the person that is delusional is you with Nollywood. The killings happening in the the north, with a whole village being wiped out is normal. In the east the unknown gunmen killing people is normal, the kidnapping in every corner of Nigeria is normal by you. Because you choose the news you want to hear about your country.

Good morning, guys. Pls who can recommend a good battery less hybrid inverter. Purely for pumping machine use. And affordable thanks. |

gadgetplanetng: Check the input wiring pv side going into the inverter it might be loose. Also check if there is any voltage across the pv wires with a voltmeter manually. If you're not getting a good reading, then your problem is on roof. |

Moniya4Real: What did you say, what of iraq and kuwait, iran and saudi, iran and majority of the arab league dont see eye to eye. Even libya of Gaddafi, dont aggree with arab league. There is a sunni and shia ethnicity issues between this coutries that is why there is conflict between this coutries. so stop decieving your self . Sadam husen saw the opportunity to invade kuwait, because they did not have military capabilities. Once militarized country feels it is my turn , they will invade. |

TechGeek777: What the guy is saying is the truth, i have personally been burnt , by one of those dealers infact the number one he mentioned. These alaba dealers are terrible, i bought an inverter from him, i requested for the inverter after sale service center, he told me if anything happens within the warranty period bring it back to him for free repair. Under 2 months inverter failed, took it him , 6 months later no inverter. Waiting for parts story started , he will pretend has if he is on a call to china requesting for your parts. I later found out the repair center actually are his boys at the back of his shop. What they do is wait for customers to bring in their inverter , now you that just brought your inverter in today will be placed on a waiting list, the parts from your inverter brought in today will be used to repair another customer inverter brought in months before yours. The cycle will continue like that. The union in alaba is the most useless of all, go an complain about any dealer they will turn around and support their own.... 3 Likes |

Morning if you read this thread from the beginning, you will notice the change in battery technology in Nigeria. About 10 to 12 years ago , generally Nigerians were using gel maintenance free batteries, while those that have money used agm batteries. I was stuck with gel batteries. Agm Of course was better but cost more. All of a sudden flooded batteries became the new baby ( trojan and one American battery ). Of course new battery tech will initially cost someone a kidney to get. But a few of us on this forum were on this new battery (flooded batteries) , and we all dreamed to acquire these batteries. All of a sudden tubular batteries walks in with a cheaper version of flooded batteries. I was on my last lap of my maintenance free batteries. It was far cheaper than the original flooded, but same tech. I joined tubular immediately and so did most nigerians leaving behind gel batteries , agm and even original flooded batteries. Then the new battery tech in Nigeria, lithium far better than original flooded, agm and tubular batteries. But like i mentioned earlier new tech wil cost an arm , a leg with even kidney this time. I am very confident a cheaper version of lithium will come along soon. And nigerians will do the needful and migrate. Till then we go manage our tubular batteries. My respect goes to those already on lithium it is not an easy fit to achieve.. someone has to break in new technology. 3 Likes |

Obnoxious2001: You spoke well . I don't know why some people are hell bent or having sleepness night over lead acid. The truth it is cheaper and serves its purpose. I have been using tubular batteries for 4years plus and no issues. Majority of people are on tubular for one reason it is affordable and carries its weight. You go to an average Nigerian home it is lead acid, it serves its purpose especially in this difficult times. Am sure I will keep running my tubular till a different technology apart from lithium comes along. (Likely get another 5 to 6 years from those bad ass batteries). Likely then, i will jump on that one, then those that are currently on lithium i will castigate them also . And ask the question wetin you still they do with lithium....... technology has phases . 4 Likes |

kristien4: You question has been asked on this forum many times. Hybrid inverter or stand alone charge controller+inverter. The truth of the matter both are okay, but for safety always have a spare of a low budget of everything. Both inverter and charge controller. Hybrid inverters can fail , no inverter , no charge controller all at once . Your low budget inverter and charge controller comes into play pending to you fix it. Same with stand alone, the only difference one side may have a problem, let say your inverter, you spare low cost inverter comes into play . You continue story. In short through my personal experience , I never sell any of my gadgets after an upgrade, I usually keep them as back up..... in solar always be prepared for any disappointment... 2 Likes |

osayuwamwen: Why do you want to use a solar submersible on inverter. If it is a solar submersible get solar panels connected to it. |
Satellite TV Technology / Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by samnaija: 8:00am On Oct 27, 2023 |
I happy people are speaking up and saying the truth. It is not easy for an average Nigerian at this moment to get top grade quality batteries. But like someone suggested do your research properly before you manage wetin dey our surrounding. Don't just jump on the bandwagon because everyone says so. In the sense you manage a small bank because it lithium you start forming power holding company. The basic rule about batteries whether lithium of tubular like someone said earlier, size is important. A big bank assists a very long way in longevity,also having a very robust solar array, better more than one array. This period in Nigeria now does not permit for any one to get it wrong . Money hard. Sorry to those that got burnt, it should serve has a warning to do due diligence and be patient before you buy,like I said earlier check out YouTube videos it always pays to go bigger both solar and battery bank.... |

DadojoReloaded: I don't get it, 500watts,. Look your budget will get you 2 good tubular batteries. You are not going use 500 watts continuously. I am even happy you have deep freezer instead of a fridge. Now the main question is how are you going to charge the batteries through solar, or is nepa constant in your area. |
Satellite TV Technology / Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by samnaija: 8:19am On Oct 06, 2023 |
DadojoReloaded: If your budget is 300k for batteries, buy 2 tubular batteries. I am assuming the inverter is 24v. Nigeria hard whatever you have you manage. Note 12v system is not has efficient has 24v system. 3 Likes |

The truth about inverter buys in Nigeria. You are on your own. Basically if you have the money to buy high end inverters eg deye... just buy extra panel and parts before it is shipped to you from abroad. If you know you are not balanced financial pls I will advice don't go for high end inverters. Stick with inverters that can be easily repaired in Nigeria. Easily in the sense not to expensive to repair. 3 Likes |

oweniwe: First of all everyone here is telling you the truth , no miss understanding. The load you are prescribing can only work with a big battery bank and a bigger solar array which you don't have. If you have read through this thread carefully you will understand you don't buy batteries especially tubular pieces at different intervals it is not adviceable. You can buy a big charge controller and buy your solar panels gradually. Please take time to research before you buy anything, apart from here watch YouTube videos. Even the 4 tubular batteries is not recommended for Ac use, shortens the life span. Bigger banks and a even bigger solar array or generation. Minimum 8 tubular batteries. 2 Likes |

joseph4sales: Your batteries guages are looking full, likely there is overfill in some cells, more distilled water. It will eventually balance. It seems you don't use solar to charge your batteries only inverter. Well if so, you cannot only rely on your inverter to give you a true picture of the voltage of your batteries. It's likely wrong. Usual cases the inverter gives low and false reading, Even a charge controller without a shunt, will not give you actual voltages of your batteries correctly. My advice get a voltmeter to give you actual voltage and idea, the paste your results , compared with your inverter voltage readings at the same time. 1 Like 1 Share |
