Is there any more wicked rogue politician than Tinubu, who begged Buhari out of retirement to make Jonathan a one term president after his party invited terrorists to destroy our country?
Again not holding brief for him but I understand where he is coming from. He wanted to be president and had to build strategic alliance with the north to get them the seat and then when it returns to the south it becomes his turn. Unfortunately the politician who had that appeal and fit his strategic interests at that point was the incompetent Buhari. Buhari did have the political clout and following in the north. That's the unfortunate thing about politics and life, sometimes you have to dine with all sorts of people to achieve your strategic goals.
Buhari was his own president and made his own decisions and should bear full responsibility for his disastrous leadership. I do not think Tinubu played any role in policy decision making and governance during Buharis government. Infact Buhari's cabal hated Tinubu and did all they can to ensure he doesnt become president.
Did Tinubu action help foist an incompetent leader on us in other to achieve his ambition- Yes. Does he have to take some blame in that -Yes. However it could have been more of the same when he took over and continue the spiral into economic doom. This is where I commend him for making the tough policy decisions necessary to rescue the economy so far and we are seeing some results.
I'm not a fan of Tinubu at all, but I agree with him. Many of you do not know the damage Buhari and his cohorts like Emefiele did to the economy. We were on the bridge of total economic collapse . Tinubu has done very well in rescuing and stabilizing the economy . Exchange rate is now stable, we have sufficient foreign reserves, investor confidence is now renewed and our stock market is booming. what now remains is growth that translates to better lives for nigerian's.

Hello Pardon my question please.
i thought its not workable to parallel two lithium battries of differnt brands. could you please break down how you were able to safely acheive this?
jonescosmos: THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SUN-6K-OG01LP1-EU-AM2 AND SUN-6K-SG03LP1-EU
For those who cares to know.
1. Casing mold: It is far cheaper to mold the casing of SUN-6K-OG01LP1-EU-AM2 which is part fiber plastics than that of SUN-6K-SG03LP1-EU which is full metal casing. 2. Max PV Input Power is 9600W for SUN-6K-OG01LP1-EU-AM2 and 7800W for SUN-6K-SG03LP1-EU (MPPT components upgrade) 3. Max PV Input Short-Circuit Current is 27A+27A for SUN-6K-OG01LP1-EU-AM2 and 17A+17A for SUN-6K-SG03LP1-EU (MPPT components upgrade). 4. Max Operating PV Input Current is 18A+18A for SUN-6K-OG01LP1-EU-AM2 and 13A+13A for SUN-6K-SG03LP1-EU (MPPT components upgrade). 5. Max. AC Output Power is 6000W for SUN-6K-OG01LP1-EU-AM2 and 6600W for SUN-6K-SG03LP1-EU (AC Circuit Components modified due to regional restriction) 7. Rated Operating Frequency is 50Hz / 60Hz for SUN-6K-OG01LP1-EU-AM2 while SUN-6K-SG03LP1-EU 50Hz/45Hz-55Hz and 60Hz/55Hz-65Hz (AC Circuit Components modified due to regional restriction) 8. Gird Input Current is 35A for SUN-6K-OG01LP1-EU-AM2 and 40A for SUN-6K-SG03LP1-EU (AC Circuit Components modified due to regional restriction) 9, Safety EMC/Standard also varied in terms radiation due to the changed casing. Thereby restricting SUN-6K-OG01LP1-EU-AM2 to residential usage, but you and I know that we don't care in Africa. 10, SUN-6K-OG01LP1-EU-AM2 has been fitted with diodes to prevent Inverter Back feed Current to the PV Array, SUN-6K-SG03LP1-EU doesn't have this. 11, SUN-6K-OG01LP1-EU-AM2 is way cheaper because budget friendly components were used to manufacture it as compared to SUN-6K-SG03LP1-EU and this accounts for the stiffer regional restriction for the SUN-6K-OG01LP1-EU-AM2 model.
You can add to the list.
I regret buying the older one. I wish I knew about this newer model. Same amount would have gotten me two 6kw making 12kw.
could you please recommend alternative brands of hybrid inverters that have [b]Grid electricity, Solar and Generator [/b]inputs and is able to switch between the three based on settings?
I know deye inverters have these feature but deye is pricy.
Hi quick question. The growatt inverter there the manufacturer states maximum PV array input as 6000w but you have 16 550w panels which is total 8800watts isn't that too much for the inverter?
jonescosmos: I received my 3 units of Felicity 25KW yesterday, I intend to replace my 4 Units of Felicity 15KW and use them to redeploy my redundant 16KW Deye Inverter.
I noticed some differences between these units I got and the 25KW sold in Alaba and I contacted Felicity Engineers in China straight off.
They have revealed some important points about both models. They also sent the UN38.3 of one of the Pack, waiting for the second one.
I will not post our conversation here in order not to cast their updates in Alaba and drive them to start changing stickers and writeups to circumvent the system and sell to you.
TO ALL FELICITY LITHIUM BATTERY 25KW, 15KW, and 12KW PROS{ECTIVE BUYERS in 2024 AND FUTURE, FEEL FREE TO REACH OUT FOR THIS IMPORTANT GIST BEFORE YOU BUY.
Please What's the current price of these batteries in Nigeria?
Also please share the secrets on the batteries in Alaba. You can give a hint
isangjohnson: Felicity honours warranty....... There is room for refunds if it doesn't meet up with what is being advertised. You may test it by using the manufacturer recommended charge and discharge parameters via its datasheet. You may also monitor the performance of the individual cells via the bms pc monitor. Batched and matched Grade A cells will remain balance and work together at the upper knees of 57.6v while charging at the recommended C rate and the same thing with the lower knees of 44.4v while discharging at the recommended C rate. Grade B cells will not work together from the bottom to the top. Runner cell will take a lead on the upper knees and hit full voltage cutoff before reaching the manufacturer recommended max voltage and the same thing will happen at the lower knees while discharging. SUBMISSION: We should not always rely on misleading stickers pasted on products. Physical assessment and practical test will also reveal the hidden truth.
Are there specific felicity models with Gade A cells and those with Gade B cells?
Xanderone: Also this is all I read in the manual about the Gen mode. So it doesn't seem tk be something remotely connected with energy saving mode to me. It looks like something to do with drop in voltage associated with generator when many loads are placed on it.
So since I don't use Gen, but solar, I haven't even tried working with that "Gen mode" button yet As in I haven't pressed that button at all.
I have a tuya energy monitor/switch inline with the AC, so I'm able to monitor its consumption in-app.
Hello. Could you please share a picture of this Tuya energy monitoring switch you have? Also how much is it and where can one get it? Thanks
jonescosmos: Usually they would factor in some months from Production to Shipping. This might take out 6 - 8 months shelf life for Flooded Batteries, 5-7 Months for Gel Batteries, 10-14 months for Lithium Batteries. So resellers have average Max of 6 Months or less to sell the battery. This accounts to why they don't recommend you store them further than necessary.
Thank you all for the feedback.
Is there anyway to know batteries with a seller that have been stored past the recommended intervals? Especially lithium batteries
jonescosmos: Buy them in this order: Inverter>Battery>Panels.
Reason: Inverter has a long shelf life, Batteries has a short shelf life, Keep them too long, they would sulphate or discharge beyond DOD, Panels will be exposed to breakage and other risks when you stock them.
Secondly, you can start using your Inverter & Battery when you grab the batteries and add Panels later.
Third is that the price fluctuations affects Inverters and Batteries more than Panels.
I hope this helps
Hello Chief. I'm curious. If batteries have short shelf life, how do manufacturers and sellers store them in their stock before sale which may take months?
The fear of Band A, Band B and Band etc is the beginning of wisdom. This Client first said: "just install something that will power my fridge and Lighting points." And I asked him, "Will you be wanting to upgrade this setup someday?" He said maybe. I proposed he should simply go OFF-GRID he said give me quotation, I quoted:
as usual and he screamed and said just install something that will power my fridge and Lighting points that he can add things later and will be supporting the heavy loads and recharge the battery with Nepa for now (I explained and tried to discourage him from doing this till I got tired). We adjusted this quotation so tey we landed on:
And we deployed. He was happy, but then the battery will never fill up before sun down, he recharged his Meter as usual 50K (Band A) twice and the credit lasted less than 3 days, He called me back and said: "E be like say that thing wey you been dey try explain to me na true ooo, to charge this battery with Nepa go tear my wallet"
He said Ok let's power the whole house and see So I did something for him, I powered the whole house, Put some ACs the heavy loads on SmartLoad, we switched off the water heater and job done. He tested for 3 days and as soon as the client noticed that the inverter could take all his loads, He called me back and said that we have to upgrade this setup ASAP to power everything house 247. But remember that we had opted for an 8KW instead of 12KW inverter, 440w Panels instead of 625w Panels, 1 unit of 17.5kw Instead of 2 Units. He asked if we can sell the Inverter and Panels to upgrade to the initial quote. I told him that he might not realize the money 100% and he screamed "something wey I never use up to one week? I asked if I should post it online and see, he said no let him contact his friends that knows about Inverters and Solar. He did and in my presence his friends where pricing less than half of what he invested. I asked him again "Make I post am online?" He said "NO NEED, If people wey know me dey price am like this, wetin people wey no know me go come price am" that I should find a way to make this thing work out.
And so I did:
8KW Deye 35KW (2 x 17.5KW) Felicity Lithium 12KWp Jinko Panels (8x625W + 16x440w) After powering up around 1PM yesterday, the Batteries filled up before 4PM from 40% to 100%. Thanks to Deye SmartLoad Function

GAZZUZZ: I am hoping Seun would create a separate section for this.
I will be putting up vehicles that are already converted to dual fuel CNG (New or used) in this section .
So if you are on the lookout for that bus, car , SUV, mini van etc and you want a vehicle that has been properly converted and certified or a factory fitted CNG vehicle, you will find them here .
Again CNG vehicles are economical to use, and run on an average of ₦10-15 per kilometre E.g on every 100km you spend ₦1000-₦1,500
You can also schedule a test drive and request a certain type of CNG vehicle you are searching for, we will purchase convert and deliver .

crackcrack: Hey guys. Could someone please help with suggestions for my situation below?
I’m planning to apply for a visa about six months from now. I’m trying to build my account and want to make it as clean as possible. The only credit to my account is my salary. I earn relatively well, and have very few expenses. I have about 800k disposable income that’s left every month from my salary.
The issue is, the Naira keeps losing value. I want to be converting my disposable income to dollars and keeping it in my dom account instead of saving in Naira. I have a BDC person that I can send the Naira to, and he will credit my dom account with the dollar equivalent. But I’m worried about how to explain this to an ECO when it’s time to apply for the visa. Basically, there will be a huge debit to my salary account (to the BDC) and then a huge credit to my dom account (from BDC).
I’m scared that an ECO will not understand this and might deny my visa for unexplainable transactions that are different from my stated salary and expenditure.
Any suggestions? Should I try to get the BDC to issue me receipts for every Naira debit and dollar credit? Will that be sufficient?
The alternative is to leave all my disposable income in the salary account, but who knows how much value the money would have lost six months from now?
Get tge BDC guy to print you a receipt for each transaction.
