ARE YOU IN PH

favouredbymercy:
Since usage is mainly for day time and on your strict budget, consider this:

* 12v 3000w (1500w continuous) pure sine wave sachet Inverter (Contact Valto or IInnov8)

* Powmr 60a Charge controller aluminium body type (contact Iinnov8)

* 2 panels preferably Jinko 525w or 530w,as you said (connection would most likely be in parallel because of voltage limit for 12v system)

* Cworth 12.8v 100ah Battery (contact Dam5reey)

* then use the remaining money to sort out accessories and installation

Cheers.

Will the set up be installed in a "shop or house"? Does she live there too?

hmm @ 700,000 naira

Let's see what's possible.

Personally, even 500,000 naira is possible BUT you not me, and don't seem like you could do what I could so let's see what's possible for you.

Forget about Lithium batteries due to budget. Don't feel bad, quality LeadAcid batteries still serves you well. Many of us still use them.

4pcs 350w Solar panels @ 40,000 naira per panel = 160,000
2pcs 12v 200Ah batteries @ 150,000 naira per battery = 300,000
24v 3.5kva or 3kva = 150,000
1 Bundle of Made in Nigeria Cable = 018,000
1pcs DC surge protector = 009,000
1pcs Circuit breaker = 007,000
1pcs 40A / 60A charge controller = 056,000
installation = DiY + disturb those that allow you to.

NB:
1. The charge controller is only required if the inverter is not hybrid.
2. The external charge controller should be MPPT
3. Prices of items above, except surge protector and Circuit breaker, are for used ones.
4. If you choose to use sachet inverter, then you save much more money.

Make she manage am reach 1.2 or 1.1M ... So that she go fir run am 24v and upgrade small small later.. That 700k will only get her 12v system..

At end of the day, anyOne who's getting started in Solar journey and spending from 2 million naira and above ought to start on good footing ELSE sooner or later, they realize their mistake(s) and would want to make amends ONLY at such stage, they would incur losses.

Might have misCalculated last night due to my mental state (there's only how far one could cheat nature) BUT that doesn't change the fact you're better off with a battery of 48v 200ah THAN 24v @ 400ah especially since the switch from 12v to 24v; or from 24v to 48v ain't about changing the battery alone.

When you get the foundation started this way, chances of having to sell off things to UPGRADE later on would be less.

One could always add more or replace the battery in other to get (much) bigger capacity BUT if you have to upGrade, you must change some other things which ain't cheap.

They might tell you for such a small system, 12v or 24v system is OKAY but what no one seem to be saying is - is the MONEY also small ?
if 12v or 24v system is SMALL but the cost of acquisition is +2 million naira, then it's NOT small to most of us. Yea I know ₦2,000,000 is like ₦200 to some people BUT that population is a lot LESS than most.

Another thing is, most times we tend to overSize our battery bank unnecessarily which though seem good BUT could lead to diminishing returns when done without adequate knowledge. yea having a batteryBank of 800Ah would give more peace of mind than 400Ah in certain situations BUT a lot of times, we do it the wrong way WHILE at other times, we need first invest those funds elsewhere to help make the system more efficient.

I currently got extra 3 pcs of RiTAR 150AH battery which are not in use BUT for sake of preserving the batteries so they don't go bad, had to pair them with another hence now having 4pcs of 150Ah batteries in series giving 12v 600Ah BUT guess what, I only had to do that because leaving those batteries lying around would affect the batteries, not that I needed 300Ah let alone 600AH.

Most of the power we need happen during the day and at Night, except those who use heavy appliances at night e.g AC , electric cooking stove, water heater, etc; we really don't need much at Night.

Even to run heavy appliances more efficiently, you 're better off with 48v than with 24v. i personally run both 12v system and 48v system. The 12v system I run is because of specialized purpose and reasons.

Marketers and those who wanna collect your moneies would tell you how Tubular or Lithium batteries could last for so so so number of years BUT they fail to give you the other variables involved.

Like I often say in here, there's ever 1 looser and it's hardly the installer or the marketer or the seller or the whatEver; it's always the one doing the spending which is the customer most times.

Most times, anyOne starting on clean slate with 24v system could almost always afford a 48v system.

My 12v system is currently 600Ah but I don't need more than 200Ah for almost the entire day (assuming weather is so poor) because the bulk of the task are done during the day time and at night, when the battery is about 95% filled, rarely do I need up to 100amps the entire night. And mind you, I still have 12v system because of specialized needs + I don't even use an inverter for the 12v system, just solar panels + chargeController + batteries + load.

See eh, you buying things and later selling them off in other to do what you ought to have done initially is actually a Good thing for the Frugal ones among us because it means the number of USEd items in market is high enough to keep prices down.

the advantage of being in midst of people who have fallen and made mistakes in the past (ELDERs) is so you learn from them in other not to repeat such mistakes BUT either way, you learn the normal or hard way; na your choice

zinaunreal:
It's really funny how so little their population and over 40 percent is poor. That's very disgusting. We shouldn't even be exchanging words with a desert

Cmanforall:
Even some of their populations still walk naked till today. They live like 3000 BC

I’ve got Namibian friends. Yes, they are lovely. But it hasn’t reached the level to drag Nigerians

Have you heard them talk? I mean their local dialect?

Redomi:
Time to showcase few things I learnt from here and other online platforms. I'm going into pepper farming big time from this month, I only planted this in December last year to test run what I have learnt

YesDaddyTill203:
Not surprised that you are a PDF supporter.

Namaster:
This is the reality EVERYWHERE in the world.
The Taliban were just FOOLISH enough to codify it into their laws.

EVERYBODY knows that people get punished DIFFERENTLY for the same crime based on their status, wealth and, in some countries, RACE.

For instance, Robert Morris an American MegaChurch Pastor was recently CONVICTED of raping a MINOR and his punishment was JUST 6 months in jail. Most likely, soft white collar jail too.

If a poor man or black commits the same crime, his punishment would be FAR GREATER than that.

So before ANYBODY castigates the Taliban, let them address their own country's LOPSIDED INjustice system.

YesDaddyTill203:
This woman loves PD files. Her husband and her brother are both PDf just like Trump. She's doing everything to get those criminals out of jail.
She knows that Trump loves people praising him for nothing.
He will soon pardon those 2 pdf criminals.

OnionBandit:
"No nuclear weapon" buh you have nuclear weapon which you use to bully other countries into submission. I have never seen this level of hypocrisy my whole life. why not say that to Israel? why not say same to Russia, north Korea or China?

A country as "small" as Iran will someday soon humble the US. The clock is ticking

maddman:
The mad man has started talking recklessly again. After few days now he'll calm down and spin another lie that Ayatollah begged him on a phone call therefore he's no longer attacking Iran

I've never seen a worse leader like Donald Trump

femi4:
See the year he got the facility

He obtained an overdraft facility from UBA in 1990.

I m sure he's still owing UBA

Lukuluku69:
Lol

With that Orange Turd at the helm, any decent human ought to troll the Americans too.

madridguy:
Nice one from the supreme leader.

Father4all:
. This guy, you don't know anything oo. You are a complete novice. Europe dey fear Russia die. Do you know who defeated Hetler? Russia did

Valto:
large quantity of 15ah ,20ah ,23ah, 50ah ,100ah ,125ah,141ah ,314ah lifepo4 lithium battery cells available at affordable prices .

Father4all:
I don't think you are living in this our world. Didn't you see pictures of some US Soldiers that Russia killed that were fighting in Ukraine last year? Wake up

Father4all:
Guy, I totally agree with you. But you are wrong in this aspect. NATO can't match only Russia let alone Russia and China. Do you know Russia is fighting NATO presently inside Ukraine? NATO are WEAK

PDJT:
- Depends on the woman but definitely in the second trimester (13 - 27/28 weeks). Most pregnant women are full of juice around that time. And yes, some wifeys don't really fancy their hubbies that much.

PDJT:
- Regular sex for a pregnant woman is very important and can contribute to having a healthy baby.

TheStoriesOfMan:
If Kongi dey hold you,get one side chick wey go dey make you dey alright.

BUT NEVER DISRESPECT YOUR WIFE BY GETTING YOUR SIDE CHICK PREGNANT OR TAKING HER TO YOUR MATRIMONIAL HOME.

Use a hotel, use nylon and use your head.

If you are a non-chalant man, command your wife to set dodgy for you, otherwise no antenatal for her.

kunkelhanspeter:
We been married for 3 years now and she’s 10 weeks pregnant 🤰 and it not been easy for me as the husband.

When we went to register for antenatal the nurse told us not to have sex till 14 weeks .

Just want to ask men here how do you guys cope with konji?

brain54:
During my undergraduate days I lived off campus...


Now the apartment I rented then was a family house and in it lived brother Akeebo and his newly wedded wife. In a different apartment but same compound lived kabiru and his own family.

Kabiru had a daughter called wasia ( I don't know if the spelling is correct) but brother Akeebo's wife always called wasia who was about 9 years old at the time "auntie wasia" infact she kneeled down to greet her.

She was sometimes scolded if she didn't kneel while greeting or forgot to add "auntie" to wasia.


I thought it was ceremonial at the time... because although I had limited understanding of the language they communicated in at the time - which was Yoruba, I never saw wasia send the wife on errands for instance, or exhibit any unusual behavior a 9 year old would do to a woman more than twice her age.

I don't know how that culture plays out though when they both get older like when wasia herself gets to 30 years as I didn't stick long enough to find out.

But I still believe maybe the prefix to the name calling and kneeling down and all that show of respect may just be ceremonial based on culture. I may be wrong though.


My story was just to buttress that indeed a scenario like that can happen based on where they come from culturally. Based on my own personal experience and witness.

Now my own opinion about the story itself is that she was right to insist on not being okay with such tradition instead of pretend to be okay with it.


I can't fault the man and his family though if they insist on keeping their old traditional practices after all I don't see how it hurts anyone if everyone is okay with it.

In the end marriage is about agreements between a couple and by extension families. It's best to sort out issues that would likely cause friction in future and if a middle ground or compromise isn't tenable then the marriage should be halted.

It's not a do or die affair and I like how they parted ways instead of going ahead with the idea that they could convince either of themselves to change their mentality whilst in the marriage!

IyaTola:
You’re right to recognize the leadership of the U.S. in global health—it has truly shaped the modern medical world through funding, collaboration, and a commitment (however imperfect) to global health equity. At the same time, it’s good to remain curious about why other countries like Russia don’t feature in this conversation as often.

Sometimes it’s about priorities. Sometimes it’s about politics. And sometimes, it's just about what stories the world chooses to tell.

If you’d like, I can show a side-by-side comparison of U.S. vs Russian health diplomacy or medical innovation over the past decade.
