It’s not just a relay bro, you need a 12v step down transformer or any other way to step down 220v to 12v

Some relays and contactors accept direct grid voltage and work with it.

I recently rigged up one contactor to use at home (attached) as an ATS, and it works very well.

Dash me

Hahahahaa.....that's a possibility, you never can tell.

Mavor:
This Sygnite people are mad. 60k for courier within Lagos. @HeavenlyBang and senior men here, can you please recommend a confirmed vendor and installer here who knows his stuff who can handle everything legit? I am tired of the nonsense and stress I am seeing online.

If you haven't got an installer we can talk.

seunlayi:
How far with my request

Which please?

Bruteality1:
Lol, there seems to a war against Tubular here. I was a novice before I got it.

Will i get Tubular if I had the knowledge i had now? No

Do I recommend Tubular? Yes

Both tubular and lithium are good batteries. It just depends on what you want. I recommend both

You'll even get more usable capacity on Tubular than on Lithium but that's a conversation we don't want to have or we avoid having here

How does it handle many partial charging cycles?

bassdow:
Another reason is, Not everyone is Wealthy enough to afford quality Lithium batteries.

Also, the extra Money you make from Selling Used Tubular batteries, some people would even sell them, before they can add more funds to buy another.

What about Ruggedness ?

No matter how much people try, tubular and SLA / GEL batteries are going noWhere anyTime soon.

See eh, if you buy a quality used Tubular / SLA / GEL battery, you could even use it for over 5-more years sef.

No let dealers deceive you; Each battery technology have got their Strong & Weak points.

Oh men...this is archaic way of thinking o. I used to think that resale value was a good reason to use LA, but it's really penny wise pound foolish.

Case:
I bought 4 brand new LA batteries, at 150k per one. The plan was to use for at least 2years and resell so I can buy again. About 2 years down the line, the batteries are getting weak. To replace them now from same brand is around 1m. Even if I resell them as scrap at the best price, I'll still have to add around 600k to replace them.

E no pay laslas...I'm switching over to lithium gradually.

There are many affordable Lithium batteries on the market now.

nenergy:
iPad mini 4 rotating keyboard case - 7k

Notebook power adapter with different interchangeable pins (12v to 24v) - 5k

Contact on profile.

Door delivery possible

Can I get only the Adapter?

seunlayi:
Make I see the picture or the details of your 5000w version

Ok

bbally:
Can this inverter power only a 2Hp air conditioner considering the starting power draw?
OR
Can you suggest any other standard inverter either standalone or hybrid that can be used solely for a 2Hp regular air conditioner?

I doubt it can start a 2hp air conditioner. I'ld suggest a 10kva inverter for that. However there is a device called a soft starter that can help with that initial surge from AC or fridge. Check online for sellers or DIY procedure. I've seen one diy kit before

seunlayi:
I bought the 24v of this red beast....I mistakenly switched on my 1hp surface pumping machine and it started pumping, it was moment later I realised that I was on inverter....I pumped water that served till the next day sha....... The inverter is highly recommended.... Don't be deceived by the small size.... It pure sine wave output.

Those who recommended the powermr charge controller and the powermr 1280 lifepo4 battery put me on the right part

That sachet inverter delivers. I use the 5000w to run my house. It can power a 1.5hp inverter AC, 300L inverter chest freezer, TV and other items at the same time.

I want to upgrade my system panels, batteries etc I de reason wetin I go use am do as I intend to switch to hybrid inverter. E no wan die.

dollarnaira:
Cheapest alternative.

And with a single relay you can achieve ATS functions for your system.

Haykay2001:
You get any of their engineer number abeg.. Or anyone you can direct me to that have their contact... Na una way they lag they enjoy all this service center pass.. We way they other part go they need make contact with them before coming down to lag...

Why come down to Lagos yourself, find someone trusty that can help me run around, pay the person and waybill it down to the person so he does the running around and send a your stuff back to you. Cheaper and saves you your time.

Obnoxious2001:
You go make the guy cry .

I shock na.

Bruteality1:
Is this solar panel compatible for a 48v inverter?

Chineke nna, how is Voc lesser than Vmp? 👀

Abeg oh,

Make una no air me o...🙏🏼

AmgAmg:
I don’t usually respond to trolls, but that comment really got to me. It hit deep …. like, deeper than I expected. To come at someone like that for no reason at all… just pure unprovoked energy. Like who does that

Yeah, I get. Wetin de worry us for this country many my guy. 😂....just sift what is useful and move on.

Mrreed:
Dami did capacity test but he faced many resistance when he posted the result here and on the telegram group.

Waiting time is the only disadvantage for Deriy packs and some have also been lucky to get it under a month.


From all the major suppliers, brand new hithium 314ah with 1c ratings currently cost 39-40USD,shippong to GuangZhou additional 20USD.
Even eve 280k v3 cost is around 40USD/cell
The cost of shipping 16 cells to Lagos <= 200k
200A terminal <= 16k
Jk200a BMS with 2a <= 70USD
4. inches display 20USD
3.2 Inches 9USD


Without casing, the total cost is circa 1.5m.

You see, even Deriy makes reasonable profit for selling in that range.

This is exactly the route I'm taking and it's very cost effective. Abeg where you see that BMS for $70, because Kayla is giving me for over $100 o. Drop your Whatsapp contact let's talk if you don't mind.

CuteMaro:
I think he is talking about it from a 'Better deal' perspective factoring in the price difference, wait time and uncertainties around logistics (according to his opinion).

I tried to search for Valto's packs capacity testing or tear down but so far there is none.

There are testimonies on this thread, I think.

Hello, fellow Nlanders,

I am soliciting for demography information please for the siting of solar phone charging stations.

The ask
I want to find out areas with very poor power supply that the residents urgently need a place to charge phones, laptops, power banks, solar generator, etc

Your help

Please help answer the below questions honestly to aid our plans to provide this necessity.

1. Where is this place located? Drop the address, or Google location of the place.
2. What kind of area is it? School area, residential, commercial, industrial, religious, etc
3. How many hours of supply will you say they have, maximum and minimum. Are there long days without power supply?
4. Your contact information, if you don't mind being contacted to help with more information.

I hope people help to fill this mini survey. 🙏

Thanks!

AmgAmg:
Meaning ?

Explain further

lol, na warning o. Say make you shine your eyes before picking any advice.

AmgAmg:
Block head… Either answer the damn question or crawl back into the rabies infested dungeon of a vag**** you came out from

Bro, I don't think you should be replying that guy with the same uncouth manner he came to you. Agreed his words are not easy to swallow, but I have a feeling he has your good at heart. No be peter obi say "I got that advice from a mad man"?

Please and please, whatever you do don't put all your funds into whatever you want to start. Start small.

For anything that someone says you will meet xyz and sell, note that demand and supply is always a curve. You may be have good demand for 10 goods doesn't mean if you now bring in 100, you will still have the same demand.

Good luck

Penuelseun:
Nice, where did you get it? A picture?

Alibaba. Direct import.

Allem:
This is from 4x555w jinko I got 1.5kw

If that's a 24v system, you are pushing around 50a into your battery and have probably maxed out your capacity on that CC.

Hope you battery cable is sized appropriately o.

chuxmgc:
Can it carry 1.5hp AC?

The 5000w capacity can carry a 1.5hp inverter AC. That's what I use

Emmalex83:
Good morning bosses in the house. Please i need your input on this.
There is a boarding school that called me that they need an solar system that can power their water pump everyday.
They have 4 water Sumos of each 3Hp totalling 12Hp. Please i want to know the size of Battery bank, Solar panels and inverter to use for this project.
Note:, they use water every morning before they go for classes, also evening time when school closes. On weekends, they use it mostly for washing of clothes and other hostels chores.

Someone advised you to have more storage tanks and pump water during the day for their use, and I agree.

I think it's cheaper to store water than energy. Plus you can save more by using a pressure pump to send water to higher floors instead of constructing huge, expensive structures to hoist tanks up. Whatever energy is left after filling the tanks should be enough to operate the pump.

oladele239:
Most times the cost of setting up a regular solar installation is far below the cost of procurement a solar gen.
However , the solar gen gives room for ease of mobility and requires very easy set up. Infact a DIY is almost what's needed!

With a little bit of ingenuity, one can actually pack individual devices into an all in one package.

Valto has packaged something like that before.

A sibling of mine packed 1.8kw, 1.28kwh, 60a MPPT charge controller into an all in one for an elderly family member of mine; all the major parts were purchased from linnov here. He can testify.

Nteogwuija:
It's Cworth's 12v 2.5kw

For a 12v system, a standalone 60a MPPT charge controller can do around 800w max, even if you have 2.5kWp of PV installed. You may have maxed out your controller's capacity.

I can’t mention the name here, I know the stress I passed through before getting a product. If you are not interested, it’s not a must.

Ok.

AmgAmg:
I recently received an inheritance and now have over ₦150-million just sitting here, doing nothing. I need solid advice on how best to invest this money. I’m looking for a moderate to high-yield investment that won’t be affected by the depreciation of the naira.

Let’s be real ….. we’ve all seen how bad the naira has devalued over the years. The last thing I want is to put my money into something, only to wake up in a few years and realize its value has been slashed into half. You know what I mean. Even if the business is in naira, it has to be highly profitable so that currency depreciation won’t eat away it.

I don’t want meaningless or negative suggestions…. only serious, well-thought-out opinions . I’m open to meeting up as well….. to discuss solid business ideas, and trust me, a handsome reward awaits whoever brings the best proposal.

That said, let me be clear:
I have the Commissioner of Police and EFCC on speed dial. If anyone thinks this is an opportunity for a scam, just know that any fraudulent attempt will be dealt with the full extent of the law.

If you have a genuine, profitable, and well-researched idea, let’s talk.

Bro, I stumbled on your thread purely by happenstance and I'll just drop few opinions of mine:

1. For business opportunities, please be careful of people who can not openly share what they do and who don't have good, visible track record of their successes and FAILURES.

2. There is no such thing as risk free business that stands the test of time.

3. Don't invest all your money at once. Always start small.

4. Enjoy a bit of your inheritance, na wetin you chop you be your own last last.

3. Some persons above mentioned real Estate, and to me that's the best investment i'ld suggest too. Take for example,

A. my inlaw got a land in asaba around mud last year for about 3m. Currently the land sells for around 5-6m

B. Last week, I went out with my landlady (she's a grandma and a true mother)to check some lands around atan side, we entered from agbara. Land that I was told about 3years ago sold for 600k-800k now sells for minimum of #3m and fast rising. Take note that the road from agbara to atan is under construction and access to the area is smooth.

The one my landlady took me to see personally, she said some years back it was bush and he just a foot path, now cars can go in and out and although to me it looked bushy, and I hear she said the place has opened up greatly and she is not willing to sell ger land.

C. My landlady confided in me that her husband who already owns a couple of properties in Lagos and the east is into land purchase and resell. He bought a plot for 7m last year and sold it in January this year for 11m in the East.


In conclusion, my advice is to look for areas where there are signs of development coming, buy some acres of lands and fence them out. In about a year or two you should start selling out with profit. Just build a fence round and secure the place. I won't advise you buy from all these estates that developers package and advertise; Just start asking from some landlords you know and please involve a land lawyer from the get go to be safe.

Be wise how you invest your money abeg.

Good luck.

AmgAmg:
Where can I reach you privately,, so we can discuss further … I will be back in Lagos in about a month from now

And another thing …. make I ask you straight, and I need you to be real with me ….

You really sure say this thing go work like that?
I mean the contacts aspect …. are you 100% sure we go get the buyers?
Not just “I believe” or “it should,” I mean sure sure, like you fit beat chest on it?

Because I no wan enter once chance with big money tied down.
And more importantly …. 10 million no be 500k, and it definitely no be 20 million too.
You get what I’m saying?

Buying small quantity and selling it off is different from handling a whole container of large stock. So I just want make we reason am well …. you really believe say we go move that kind volume without wahala?

Sign deals and contracts oh. Get a lawyer and document all dealings before money leaves your account. VERY IMPORTANT!

Tohsynetita1:
Probably you don’t understand me because
1)you don’t know the product I am talking about so it might be hard to believe,
2) You don’t know how social media ads works.
3) You think we will run ads and start awareness after getting the goods, Note if you are using sea to buy something from China, it takes 2 months at least before the goods will get to Nigeria, so, why won’t 2 months be enough to see big buyers, especially if you live in Lagos. I stated Lagos because it’s Lagos that Nigeria sea port is located, so goods will be brought there bulk and send to other states.
But, I think have done my best in explaining, and I can’t do more than that.
Wish you good luck in your findings

Why not just mention the name of this item? If demand is as you say it is and market saturation isn't there yet, then if all goes well you should make your profit from the business before others join the bandwagon. My own opinion though.

lagbaja:
Guys, I installed 3 units of 48v ( Max) 600watts Africell solar panels connected in series on a 3.5KVA Wellion Hybrid inverter. The highest output I have gotten is 500watts even when the sun is brightest. What could be wrong ?

I think your installer or installation is wrong.

PV cable size and distance, panel orientation, partial shadinetc. also how long has it been in use, you may just have not gotten bright sun in them
