Valto:
u can, but the current there is not enough, its better to connect directly from battery.. it depends on your type of controller though

Yes, I tried it already. The inverter fan couldn't run at full speed continuously and the fault light was blinking. It's a 12v 30A wellsee controller. Please share a picture of your controller or compare the picture of mine earlier posted to yours, if it's the same. Looks like the price of the one I bought was inflated.

Oga ceejay80 timifakay valto and all the solar experts of this house, all protocol duly observed.
Am back at home from services and heard that dere is no electricity in my place since January so am planning to build a simple solar setup

I av a few questions and need critics for my idea

IDEA.
With my little change I plan on buying one monochrome solar panel of about 35k
Then a charger controller about 9k
Then a small battery of maybe 40ah

Questions
1. During the day while the battery is charging considering the setup will u be able to still use electricity
2. Do I still need to buy a smart charger or an inverter/ups for the setup?
3. Is my budget on the right track?

I be learner oh... Battery DC to house AC.
1. Yes you can use electricity during the day, but it will affect charging rate.
2. You will need an inverter or UPS to power the house with. (The UPS conversion is cheaper)
3. The battery is small if the consumption is more than one person. You should have a battery that can store double your daily AH consumption. Try a minimum of 100AH, you should be able to get for about 35k.

I'm want to connect my inverter directly to the CC DC out during the day to see if battery charging rate will be better. Has anyone done that before?

Valto:
kind of different setup. i will use the same inverter. my brand new battery is being used with solar and charged also with 30amps smart charger, but the fairly used battery i will buy will be used solely as back up, i.e only when the new battery runs down. which of the 3 batteries do u suggest i choose?

I don't know anything about used batteries, just follow ceejay80s test tips and your intuition.
By theway: The guy I got my battery from had 150ah VRLA for about 38k if memory doesn't fail me, I'll rather get such.

Valto:
lolz, even one supplier told me to just connect directly and start using. i refused, after reading the voltage with meter. i cant afford to damage my 200amp battery i bought 70k in this hard time. 30amps solar charge controller is on the way.

Valto:
i was offered 3 different type of fairly used batteries, all are in good condition. house which one do i choose out the 3?

...I know it's none of my business, but you got me confused, do u wanna expand your set up or are you building a different set up with the secondhand battery?
I won't advise you combine new and used

Valto:
in this days of epileptic power supply, solar is the way to go. 200amps battery will need about 400watts rated solar panel to charge full in a day assuming there is enough sunlight.
price breakdown
2 pcs 200watts mono solar panel=70k
wellsee 30amp solar charge controller =8k
so with 78k u are good to go.

Remember daily battery discharge shouldn't exceed 50%, therefore you don't really need panels that can charge the whole 200ah fully on a daily basis if this rule is followed.

deekseen:
Thanks for this. I was actually trying to find out if a hybrid solar charge controller unit can replace the 2 separate inverter and charge controller units, because it's cheaper and takes less space.

Does the hybrid solar charge controller have inbuilt inverter? Function of inverter is different fro that of charge controller, and as I sad earlier on, output current of charge controller (for solar panel) or smart charger (for PHCN charged set up) should be atleast 10% of battery ah

mukhcech:
abeg help me with the guys phone asap. Does he have 40ah.? Thanks

No he doesn't have 40ah batteries.

lol i like yr homemade wooden roof mount... Kudos

Sign of DIY. I didn't understand how to attach using the holes under the panel, so I had to attach wood to the holes then wood to the roof. Adapt and survive.
Please enlighten me about the proper way.

deekseen:
Good day Oga Ceejay and everyone on this thread, especially the solar gurus. Is it adviceable to use a solar hybrid inverter (solar inverter with inbuilt 20A/30A charge controller) for the solar setup?

Your charge controller should have an output equal to at least 10% of your battery(ies) AH. That's is, 20A CC for 200ah battery set up, 30A CC for 300ah and so on

billyG:
Is that 200W S panel enough 2 charge yur (2)200AH batteries,how many hr does it take 2 fully +-?

Can't be enough for 400ah, would take about 2 days to charge one 200ah battery fully from low state.
@coderXO
Got it at N Olalekan Batteries, Ifeleye market, Oke Padre Ibadan

@afreekah @rajo4real @olorunda68 @pat077Battery was bought at N Olalekan Batteries, Ifeleye market, Oke Padre, Ibadan.
Solar panel and others at Show the light, Salvation Army area, Oke Padre Ibadan, can't reach the receipts to copy phone numbers now, will do so later.
@Valto Strictly solar charging for now, the inverter doesn't come with inbuilt charger. How much did you get your components? I want to compare prices.
@Ayostically Set up is on 35w TV, 70w Decoder, laptop and various energy saving bulbs, runs during d day and been on for 2 hours tonight.
@ceejay80s I just saw this advert on NL:

Complete solar solution for lighting, electronics & fans
520w solar panel (4pcs. 130w solar panels)
12v 200ah battery
12/24v 50A controller
Solar rack & Installation
1kva power inverter
Total cost - N280k

It's what you said about the amount I'll spend if my set up was done by an installer.

Note: the inverter trips off if loaded with Freezer or pumping machine and doesn't work until you switch the heavy load off, then switch inverter off and on again.

I hope I've been able to answer everyone.

saint2ace:
Hello Timifakay, nice setup plan. Is ur battery brand new? If it is where can we get same and does it come with warranty? Thanks a bunch

All components are brand new, bought at Oke Padre, Ibadan. Battery seller says it has warrantee, even uses same in his shop inverter set up.

ceejay80s:
Very ok, if u have handed over to an installer, na 400k u for don spend by now

Nah so oh, be like say I go take ham start business if person want make I help with the installation.

Hello ceejay80s and all others who shared a bit of information or the other... I've been spurred to assemble a 200w solar panel, with a 10a to 60a MPPT charge controller, to a 200ah battery connected to a 1000w inverter today. So I'm still testing, will probably create a thread to give more details, but felt indebted to every contributor here who's input taught me a thing or the other.
By the way all parts were sourced for in Ibadan. No be only Lagos get better things.

Old types r not considered original cos they r not on d database.

Okay... I know it's possible, believe it or not.

pattybf:
Do u know what renewal means? ur info must ve been online on d database, n d old type was not uploaded. so tell us, how can what was not uploaded can now be downloaded.

check those licenses, they must be fake!

Did you check the FRSC database or someone told you so?
I'm not talking about hear say, go to FRSC website, enter your license number and DoB in appropriate tabs your details should appear if the old type you have/ had is original

lonelydora:
Depends on what you call a fresh. They must have paid money to bypass all the driving school and VIO stuffs. How much did they pay? Official price of DL is N6,350.00

They presented the old drivers license number and a renewal was done without need for any driving school palaver... Tho one of them had to pay extra instead of going to bank... But it wasn't a first issuance by the time it was ready.
They both went for data capture.

lonelydora:
My wife's DL is the old type which I didn't change to the new type before it expired. The officials said as long as it's the old type, she will do a fresh one because there's no record of the old type again.

I know atleast 2 people who renewed the old type to the new type without starting afresh.

Just read through the whole thread and I love the way lots of issues have been dealt with. What has kept people from asking questions?

The four stroke internal combustion engine works on the principle of expansion of matter when it burns.
Fuel + air enters cylinder (intake stroke) and it closes then gets compressed (compression stroke) after which it is ignited and burns (combustion stroke) causing expansion, the residue is ejected (exhaust stroke) and process restarts and this repeats itself onwards...

In this also, you have spoken well.
You have one like from me.

Had to put groom in the statement due to the way some ladies make it sound like it's possible to hold the event without one, whereas in alot of cases the groom does the most in bringing this dream to reality. He does the wooing, convincing, proposing, and payment of bride price, yet it's all about the bride...

What we have failed to look into which would save us a lot of stress is that
(i) Christianity is not a religion but a way of life (God is reaching out to man)
(ii) Religions are a sub section of tradition, therefore every group of people with a common tradition have their religion (ways of reaching out to God).
The wedding ceremony is meant for people and not God - entertainment of human guests. God will not come to wine and dine with you during any of the receptions or ceremonies.
So as a couple (bride and groom to be) you are to choose how you want your marriage contracted or the wedding ceremony you want. That being said, as a Christian you are to fulfill the will of God (no premarital sex) and the law in anyway you deem fit.
IMO all that's necessary to fulfill the law are the presence of
(i) a person authorized by the State (government) to conduct weddings and supervise exchange of vows and symbol of love (if you subscribe to use of rings or exchange of any materials),
(ii) witnesses; doesn't have to be parents by fire by force - there are orphans in this world, there are people far away from home and people do elope to get married
(iii) a clean slate that you are not legally married to someone else at that same time.

FREEDOM4BIAFRA:
Abagworo, I have been one of those at the forefront of this protest. I understand you do not understand what is going on, but let me enlighten you.

The rally yesterday that you mocked, was for awareness. It was to inform the people on the time and date for today's mega rally.

We mandated the imolites who were living in abia state, to go home and conduct theirs, that is why they decided to return together. I returned earlier because I was a part of the awareness, and I had done so much, I couldn't walk.

So please, I know you do not support Biafra, but stop stating unknowns as fact, it is wrong.

Why is it that you couldn't walk?

naijaking1:
Please tell us when the Royal orthopedic hospital became National orthepedic hospital.
While you are it, please also tell us when the construction of fly over roads began in Lagos while the war damaged bridges of the east remained unrepaired. You really want more examples?

In a country where the federal governement controls every security apparatus, how do you blame a city like Port Harcourt for insecurity? You guys need a little consistency in your logic, and honestly too.

On one hand you threaten people who have contributed to making Lagos great all their lives, because they are Igbos, on the other hand you have an infantile tantrum when those people advocate and plan a peaceful separation from Lagos.
People like the Oba of Lagos, Akure, and the other crazy doctor based in TX who have openly called for deportation of Igbos should be happily working for the realisation of Biafra, but they wouldn't.

Can you really eat your cake and have it?

SMH, I shouldn't have replied the first mention.
Keep playing the victim.

Just got the answer
2^2x=8x
2^2(x)=8x
4^x=8x........eqn(1)
2^2x=8x
2^2x=(2^3)x
Divide both sides by 2^3
x=2^(2x-3)........eqn(2)
Substitute 2^2(2x-3) for x in eqn(1)
4^(2^(2x-3))=8(2^(2x-3))
16^(2x-3)=2^3(2^(2x-3))
2^4(2x-3)=2^3(2^(2x-3))
2^4(2x-3)=2^3(2^2x)/2^3
2^4(2x-3)=2^2x
Equate the powers of 2 on both sides
4(2x-3)=2x
8x-12=2x
-12=2x-8x
-12=-6x
x=2

Here is your solution in writing, it makes these errors more obvious:
1. Making x a solution of itself in x=2^(2x-3)
2. Opening an outer bracket before the inner bracket to get 16^(2x-3)

I agree with AK461, it's trial and error
Or if you can do the wahala, equate each side to 0 and solve simultaneously.

I have one reply for all your comments.... Anything build in Abuja or Lagos can equally be reciprocated in Eastern region, besides it's the oil money.. Biafra is our stand.

coolzeal
But only one of the three places you were hammering is in the Eastern region, and we know the SS doesn't appear to be in support of the Biafra nation.

I expected answers like this because I'm used to having someone pull out the victim card anytime a matter is raised on this topic.
The same governor that flew abroad when he had an accident, even though he commissioned world class hospital earlier this year.
If you are talking about National Orthopedic Hospital, Igbobi, it was established since 1945.

1. Efficiency and safety are of the essence but you think it's childish. Distribution from Lagos to lots of states in the Federation is easier than from any state in the SS.

2. You are blaming the Airport officials' corrupt and unhelpful attitude on federal government policies.

3. But I've never heard news of expatriates or private company officials being abducted/ kidnapped for a ransom in Lagos.

4. Was any of the companies forced to locate the company where it is? The enabling environment and receptive nature is what they chose.
I was asking for best location of the state house if the three locations become head of operations for all federal agencies and establishments.

5. There's something nature does, it's natural selection; this just puts some places or people at an advantage over others in certain areas, and in another area the previously disadvantaged place is at an advantage, while the former I at a disadvantage in this other area, that's what strikes a balance.

6. I expected figures as the answer to this question. There's no monopoly in Lagos, it's an enabling environment.

And I wonder why you expect the nation to shut down other areas to develop yours, why not look into an untapped area like tourism and carve a niche for the region in that area.

Doing all you suggested is tantamount to suicide as it means forfeiting all they have in those places outside Biafra and if nothing goes out of the region, nothing will come in.

A yoruba friend ask me: under what conditions would you support One Nigeria and let go of the Biafra struggle.

Here was my response:

1. Close down Lagos ports and Open up PH, Calabar, Onitsha and Warri.
2. Cancel all direct and major connecting flights to Lagos and Abuja airports...only local or minimal connecting flights will be allowed. While this is being done, open up Enugu, Owerri, Asaba, Uyo and PH to international flights...direct and major connecting flights.
3. Ask all international and diplomatic missions to move their embassies and consulates from Lagos and Abuja to Enugu, PH and Calabar.
4. All federal governments agencies in Lagos and Abuja shall be relocated to Enugu, PH and Calabar. CBN, NNPC,e.t.c shall and must relocate to PH, Calabar and Enugu.
5. All multinational companies in Lagos and Abuja, shall and must relocate their offices to PH, Calabar and Enugu.
6. If these conditions can be fulfilled and implemented, we can try one Nigeria and let's see if you Hausas and Yorubas will like it for a month. Meaning, Yorubas and Hausas needing to get visas shall travel to PH, Calabar or Enugu to do that. Same with flying or connecting flights, same with shipping and importing their goods, e.t.c.

The yoruba friend replied: you can't be serious, this is wickedness. I said really? Don't you think Biafrans have been suffering and enduring this very same wickedness for over 50 yrs? He was quiet for a few seconds and said: wow, you are right but it never occurred to me. I said, that's the problem with One Nigeria, those who are benefiting love it and would love to maintain the status quo.

Your points have raised numerous questions on my mind and I feel like asking you some...

1. Can the region handle or is it safe to have the number of ships docking at Lagos with the various oil rigs and offshore installations that abound?
What will all the machineries at the current locations be used for after the shut down?

2. Arrival lounge of Port harcourt airport is a canopy, the most corrupt airport in the world the terminal's
unpleasant and unhelpful staff make it ranked the worst airport in the world. How will these members of staff represent Nigeria if all international flights of either Lagos or Abuja are diverted there?

3. On what grounds? (To appease an aggrieved group of people I guess)
Can the security and safety enjoyed in Lagos and Abuja be guaranteed in the SE and SS locations?

4. This sounds like you want these 3 locations to become federal capital territories, in which would you have the state house built?

5. The choice of office location is and will always remain that of the company, so the government making such a statement will only sound as a big big joke.
Where exactly will you have all the infrastructure built?
Who would fund the projects?

6. Can you estimate the cost of all you have proposed in terms of time, man power and monetary value?

I find your terms unrealistic.
By the way airports don't bring development, development necessitates the construction of airports.
