Bro, did you get your Jinko panel from Foauni of recent…. All their stores have been saying they are out of stock. Which store did you get the panel

Foauni. That was over two months ago.

Where do these guys get their stats? Are they now an authority that they are not required to site their source of data? Was this a research or someone's guess work? If a research, what journal was it published in?

Why does the APC have to pay a lot of people to defend them? Just take a look at the front page. Why? Part of the reason I consider the party demonic.

Dam5reey1:
Wrong choice of batteries and not enough panels or efficient charge controller.
You should have done 12V 100ah LFP, 1.1KW panels and MPPT charge controller stand alone or Hybrid.
LFP batteries are happy when you don't fully charge and will continue to maintain capacity when you have good sunlight.
Just like @sapiosexuality has a properly designed set up which we actually designed together

Lol. Boss. This dude saved me a lot. I'm still grateful.

Indaboskikoboko:
this your setup is max. How much would this roughly cost?

And how much load do you carry on this? Do you use NEPA or you are completely off grid?

I think it cost me about 2.5M. 2.3 exact price but the stress, cost of logistics, etc., and it should be around 2.5.

My load isn't much though. A TV, fridge, standing fan, rechargeable fan, 8 bulbs, a sound bar, decorder, and occasionally pressing iron and blender. The setup is more than enough for me.

Considering the setup, NEPA is useless to me. It's pointless. What's the point of using NEPA if my battery never runs out? I tried it once in the first week and they almost destroyed my inverter with their unstable power. So yeah, I think I'm completely off grid.

Indaboskikoboko:
Bro, I bought my battery from who I was told was reputable. I bought only one and plan to add more soon if everything works well with this one. But I will let the OGs here help me decipher what the real issue before I decide to replace anything

But still, could you tell me which companies are reputable companies? And how to buy from them direct. And which brand of battery, panels, and controller you are using in your setup btw.

Edit: I have tried getting my stuff from fouani but the smallest battery they had was 900k+ then followed by 2m+ so I was priced out

Okay I see. My battery and inverter are SAKO. A LiPo4 200ah 5160wh battery and a 24V 3.5kva Hybrid Inverter. I contacted the company directly and they were able to send it from Lagos to my location. I got my panels from Fouani. 4 555w Jinko Solar Panels.

I think Fouani and Gennextechnologies dot com are legit online sources for solar systems. I think from my little understanding so far Felicity, Sako, SRNE, Wellion are some of the legit companies but where you buy them is more important.

Indaboskikoboko:
Hi guys. I made a setup of 1 220ah battery and 4 180w batteries to atleast power my bulbs, fan and charge the phone a few times 24/7.

Since it is rainy season, there are some days that the battery doesn't get fully charged and I thought is to be expected. But when there is sun the battery us full within a few hours of sunlight.
Today has been been cloudy for most of the day. I took a nap this evening and woke up sweating, just for me to go and find out my battery has drained.

My question is, is it normal for this type of situation to happen during days with low sunlight? Asking because I specifically installed 4 panels thinking they could be enough to get some juice for me during days like this.

Let me know what you think. Tips and advices are welcome too

Chai. My battery has never drained since I installed mine. It's been two months now and running. Even under the rain, my panels sometimes charge. No matter how bad the rainfall is in the past two months I always get a full battery.

I will suggest you add more panels and upgrade your batteries. I think it's better to buy the panels and battery yourself from a reputable company. And your charge controller too may be an issue.

In Which world is a convicted criminal, rapist, white supracists, anti science and common sense, anti immigrant in a country built by immigrant better for the world?

How did his previous 4 years made the world a better place?

Like for real?

We need the US not distabilizing the world. The current US leaders have thrown the world into more turmoil than Trump ever did while appearing decent.

OneCandleAway:
The Ukraine war will end once trump wins

It may not end immediately but there will be an attempt to end it. They will try.

God1000:
Good, she has my 100% support.


Mr Biden made the right decision that will pave the way for the first female US president


Whatever propaganda and campaign of calumny Donald trump and his party will come up with against Kamala Harris will fail.

Republicans should desist from character assassination and focus on real issues

Trump, as crazy as he is, is better for the world.

E choke...

Wow! This is how I envision the setup in my future home

I think Nairaland has more pressing issues that need addressing than this attempt at romanticisation of beef.

The hatred here is too much and reading anything is painful. We should be talking about correcting that.

The last time you promised to cleanse this place, it happened for few weeks and now we are back to the old norm.

This place needs focused and intense intellectual and consistent fumigation. You don't stop trying after few weeks. That should be the discussion.

Unfortunately physics doesn't care about your believes. You can prevent a direct lightning by using active lightning protection systems like Indelec PREVECTRON3 last time I checked the price (sometimes in 2021) when USD was ₦580 it was over a million for the device alone minus installation.

Direct lightning is a very rare occurrence. What is common is electrical surge induced by indirect lightning strike or lightning strike in a near by location. This is why it is best ( more economical and practical and prudent) to invest in SPD. Lightning is a phenomenon that is still being understood there is no exact science that can predict it or guarantee protection against it. What exist are standard practice on how to increase your chances of surviving the effect and impact of lighting.

My central point is. You need an SPD. The Chinese and everyone who cares about important infrastructure installs SPD. Turning off a device or breaker will not protect against a lighting surge travelling 100s of miles looking for ground. It would arc and jump between contacts.. best to provide a path for it to follow. Of cause we are all adult and thus free to do whatever we think work for us.

I get you. I'm not saying it in a way that is anti science but a sort of unbelieve that we've not found a solution despite our knowledge of classical and quantum physics.

I believe that with some tweaking and application of Faraday, Gauss and Refraction laws it's possible that we'd find a solution just like Leo Szilard did with E=MC². A system that can give 100 percent diversion and guarantee against both direct and indirect lightening.

Maybe there's no technology for it yet but I believe it will be found when engineers start exploring or tweaking the already existing laws in science. It's hard to believe that countries like China will spend billions of dollars on Gigawatts (not mega o) of solar energy and still leave their solar grid to any sort of chance. It has to be 100 percent efficient for them. Or maybe I'm overestimating them.

bigrovar:
Turning of a breaker is no sure way of stopping and the Electrostatic discharge you get from a direct or near by lightning. You best bet is proper ground and a well installed SPD. Even that is no 100% guarantee especially if it is a direct strike which nothing can survive.

Seriously? What about countries, like China, that use solar to supply a large percentage of their country? Will a direct attack also attack their grid or there must be a higher method of protection against it? With the level of technological advancement, I find it hard to believe that there isn't any way to stop all types of attack.

After the last attempt by Seun to sanitise this place and all the noise on how he neglected here and ready to cleanup and now this, I don't think any self respecting person will respect him.

You own a forum that is full of hate and grooming of cyber bullies, cyber criminals, demonic tribalists, and all forms of vices and you are not doing anything to clean it up.

It is either you like it that way because you are receiving money from certain elements to make it remain so or you are a FOOLISH person who lacks leadership and management skills and shouldn't be entrusted with any form of power.

Sapiosexuality:
Please, is this odour an inverter produces when it sound increases normal? What is responsible for the smell? It only happens once the sound increases suggesting, to me, a heating problem. I've been perceiving the smell from day 1. It comes out from the fan area of the inverter.

Update. It seems the smell is from the DC breaker (as I just tested by putting my nose close to it. Product is Schneider I'm been told of Schint).

But isn't what they are doing criminal? Is this legal?

ojesymsym:
Thanks. Gennex is home to Canadian Solar and there Canadian Solar seems to be cheaper than the 580W JK they have but just that JK has been shown to sometimes be able to do close to or even 100%, no one has vouched for Canadian to that extent yet.

They also have Jinko solar.

ojesymsym:
I am trying to buy Jinko solar panels, Foauni does not seem to have in stock. Someone recommended stellarmart. ng, anyone knows if they are a reliable source of original JK panels? They say they have the 555W

Try Gennex technologies dot com.

Congrats, Gpexchange. This is what a sales report really is. Keep the fire burning.

AroFx:
Humble greetings everyone.

I want to confirm if Grey GBP still work to receive payment on Dan.

It's kind of urgent

Thanks

Yes

tplayer:
You think the east doesn't show hypocrisy? You think if they were in America's place they wouldn't do worse things?

America is definitely flawed, absolutely, but I wouldn't want to live under a world hegemon that is autocratic.

As much I feel a dictatorial regime can be beneficial if the leader is benevolent and it may just be what some countries need currently to move forward, a lack of dissenting voices is not too good for human development. No one knows it all.

The number of people that have fallen out a window in one Eastern European country send shivers down my spine.😔😔

Truth is that people do not watch these channels to decide for themselves. They decide the truth and then may try to watch it once it a blue moon to confirm their bias.

The most ridiculous channel among these big boys for me is RT. Their propaganda is so weird, strange and opinionated that I watch it just for laughs. Imagine a channel that can't critique itself in any form talking about objectivity.

CGTN would have been like that but they don't carry the holier than thou attitude of RT or even continuously dish out top level Chinese propaganda. I just hope FirstPost and Wion do not end up like RT.

The most objective for me, even though every channel still has a doze of bias, is France24. Nobody is safe from criticism. Not the president, not Israel, USA, Russia, china, not even France.

They once ran a documentary on how France enslaved Africa something no state sponsored channel will dare try. A documentary that puts them in bad light.

The problem is that people love to categorize western media as a single entity with a single ideology when it's obvious that BBC, the Washington Post and TRT World (western and eastern) are anti-Isreal.

A305:
I switched to IPTV live streaming by getting an android TV box last month. I also got Airtel 5G router. With the experience I have had so far; I WILL NEVER EVER GO BACK TO DSTV OR USE ANY CABLE TV.

I watch more of Geopolitics news and football but hate it that I can't have access to RT news which is my favorite news network. I hate all the CNN, Bloomberg, BBC, Reuter, DW, France24, Euronews, Skynews, Nbc, Fox new of this world

They are all western manipulation and propaganda machine. I despise them all. The only news source I consume are Russian RT news, Al Jazeera and Chinese CGTN. Since the start of Russo-Ukraine war, RT was banned from YouTube. I couldn't get it anywhere, DSTV use to show it but they stopped even long before Ukraine war.

Ever since I began Livestream I have access to RT news, I have access to all live sports for free, I stream blockbuster movies and even old movies from yesteryears.

Sometimes I wonder why it took me so long to discover this. At this point, I don't care how much I spend on data, (currently I do the airtel monthly 20k unlimited data subscription), as long as I have access to what I enjoy to watch. I will stick with streaming.

Lol. I used to watch RT and Al Jazeera too much too. Even Press TV until I realised they are all the same or worse. Now I watch all. Don't let these guys confuse you.

Al Jazeera has semblance of objectivity but they are pro-Qatar, pro-Shia, anti-Isreal and the same thing goes for Press TV though at a worse level. CNN is pro-Isreal, pro-Usa, anti-Russia and the same goes for Fox News only that while Fox is Pro-Republicans, CNN is Pro- democrats.

DwTv, France24 and SkyNews are the most objective you will find. DW is more into documentary and not really as in-depth as Aljazeera, CNN or even SkyNews.

The most ridiculous for me is RT. They call every channel bad but they can't even criticise anything in Russia. Not even the president. It's too much propaganda for anyone to handle. It doesn't have the maturity or tact of Al Jazeera or CGTN or even the ridiculousness of CNN.

So, RT is lying to you. If you really want something fair you either watch all of them or try France24 and SkyNews. I would have recommended Al Jazeera but they are only fair if there's no Qatari interest in the subject matter.

Didn't your Smart TV come with an inbuilt decorder? You simply need to find out, and connect to a dish outside the house to get free channels depending on the satellites you connect to.

And for yours to suck 120gb when connected to a network means you must have been watching movies at 1444pixels and above. 720p and 480p will not suck that amount of data in four days.

isangjohnson:
Please contact a competent person to fix a good earthing for you.
Buy a good stabilizer and place it in between the inverter and the main to take of nepa over current madness, if you're running a grid tied system. I guess prag/ servo is expensive depending on the capacity. My cousin's transformer based 48v 3.5kva felicity inverter was damaged by nepa a few days ago. Nothing concern me with nepa..... Na only lightning I know.
In this raining season, I can't just imagine myself putting off my system whenever it rains. The inconveniences alone.....

Yeah. I did same just one week after installing my inverter and almost regretted it. Now the nepa is there but I just moved the changeover switch that connects to it to that of Nepa to neutral. I had no need for it in the first place because my 200ah battery, even after 12-16 hours of use through evening and night always remain an average of 120ah.

Good evening bosses.

Please how do I stop this mail from automatically resending by itself.

Remove it. Info @ ndiscovered does not resolve to anywhere. There are many like that and you should be taking note.

That's common sense. Spirituality is spirituality. Making money does not require prayers.

SwissMass:
The problem with these wages is that the more you earn, the more you spend because, immediately , goods and services will increase in prices

I don't think it works that way. Goods and services have already increased in price.

I think it's the same argument for private sector. They increased the prices of good and services but failed to increase the salaries of their workers along with it. Then when a new minimum wage comes in to compel them to do what they ought to have done when they initially increased prices of goods and services they talk about increasing prices. That's an elaborate scam.

dollarnaira:
Hope you checked enough positive review?
Plus 4 important protections:
* Lightning
* Short circuit
* Overload
* Temperature

Na the above dey finish inverter patapata

How does overload affect the inverter? I thought it will just trip off when overloaded?
