Hehehe. This is the consumption of my freezer in four places.

In fact abeg anyone reading this, I'm looking for buyers for the following: LG cabinet fridge, 207 litres thermocool freezer, 14 inches LG CRT TVs (2 units), 32 inches LG LCD TV, 42 inches startimes LCD combo TV, sliding gate opener (AC powered). These are the remaining few of things I've retired for energy efficient ones. I don dash out enough so tey I don tire. Biko I wan make small money too so make una help me find buyers for those things o.

We recently met this 65inch plasma at a site . Client says this TV set cost him real money some 4 years ago & he isn't willing to let go .. This isn't the 1st site we're experiencing this as most don't really know plasma tv are energy guzzlers .. We see some clients who don't believe in just changing a working electronic and that's partly a major challenge we do face sometimes in renewable energy quotes & installation. Later some will say 2 battery system didn't last long with just TV on .. It's well !!

I was thinking same too.

But you can power your Gotv directly from your 12v battery. I have tried it and it works. I tried it with the new tiny decoder but it should also work for the old decoder.

If you have an android TV box, you can power it with a 12v to 5v USB converter, that is if the TV box works with 5V but if it's 12v, connect it like the Gotv.

Na the DVD be the problem. I am still looking for a DVD player with DC input but I really don't don't play DVD movies, USB ti take over.

The best still remains a DC TV in my opinion. The LG DC TV is quite good. The 26" version takes about 30W (the AC/DC adapter states 12v 3A) but I use it directly with the battery and it takes 2 hours for the 100ah AGM battery to drop from 12.8 to 12.7V.
So I can get about 12.5hrs before the battery gets to 12.1v which is my low voltage cuttoff. Although I have never gone down to 12.5v from fully charged state because there is no time to watch TV for that long at a stretch.

Note: The battery is mainly used for the TV. Gotv is powered from another battery.
The sound from the DC TV is nothing to write home about as expected for energy saving reasons so I connected the Gotv/Tvbox to a 40w rechargeable woofer. With that I don't need the TV's speakers.

Techgoon:
I need battery charger for 12v battery anyone got for sale.??

Sorry guys for using this new moniker, my other moniker (justcallmenuel) was ban.

I have the 40a souer smart charger and it gets up to 15.3V while charging my AGM battery. Does your 30a version reach that voltage too? I know that the voltmeter of some of these chargers can lie sometimes.

I posted an ad for a laptop I have for sale and you asked for pictures and location

Its hard to moderate on WhatsApp(unless you plan on removing those erring). Telegram should be better. Posts can be sieved out even before they land. You can also make it close ended, so much so that adverts and complaints can only come from the mods, meaning no careless comments and rants.



PS its a good idea. This thread has outlived its relevance. We can move it to a controlled environment; thus, telegram.

kiekie1:
Applaud you for your resolution! You also observe those who ain't got a penny to make a purchase in here spits venomous opinions the most .. They keep refreshing this NL page every second in an insane manner like their life depends on posts here neither are they moderators , anti spam bots or paid any stipend for their wasted energy put in here meanwhile businesses are done daily with or without some baseless negative opinions tho ... The sooner most realise this in focusing positive energy in matters which directly concerns them alone >> vivre et laisser vivre ... The better !
Just avoid em rants as the market is BIG ENOUGH

Juliearth:
Pay no heed to him. He is clearly not so wise. If anything happens to Uliyaah, he will have to contend with trippledots.

OfficialHommy:
I apologize for derailing this thread, this is the only one I know & trust.

Please does anyone here fix inverters? Mine stopped coming on or charging at all sometimes last year. If you think it's the battery, like how much will it cost to get the battery for this one?

Scammers stay off!!!!!!

Fool, your tv brightness only reduces a little and u save energy... What point are you trying to make exactly because you lost me here.. that you won’t enjoy ur tv on energy saving mode? Na wah o. Shey I don’t use solar in my house?

The whole world is crying save the planet, use less energy, African man says use as much as you can just like with everything else.

Ignorant people..

truthbetold22:
This is where you guys are indeed dumb.. my Criticisms May be harsh but in no way shows Jealousy.. I don’t know Niyi, I don’t even know if he is just chest beating. You don’t know me.. you don’t know if u have a 600 amps battery bank.. this is a faceless forum. you just sit there and spew rubbish.. some of us are actually very wealthy and live comfortable lives.. doesn’t stop us from being critical of a set up when it doesn’t jive with common sense.

That you are poor or that you see Niyi’s solar achievements as unsurmountable doesn’t mean other people cannot afford even better..

That I find fault with his system doesn’t mean I cannot afford it..

Stop sounding ignorant.. when you are on a Nigerian forum, u quickly realize why nigeria is like this.. 95% of contributors are so unintelligent that it beggars belief..

Jeez... Trying to justify waste while you complain that ur government is wasteful too.. nigeria will never move forward this way.

There is an efficient method to solar and Niyi’s system can be way batter. 3 air conditioners or not.. you cannot be off grid and use energy guzzling appliances at the same time.. That is foolishness. If you can afford 10 million for panels, you can afford to swap out the rubbish appliances that guzzle that much energy in the first place. He could spend a portion of that money on swapping out electronics and his system will be better for it..

If you don’t know how, keep wallowing in ignorance..

Jamzig1:
But you people have time sha

truthbetold22:
Chest beating afonja.. empty vessel.. Because we are on Nairaland, some people will be claiming all what not.

Because it is Niyi now, none of u want to think with your brains, only with ur anus.. my opinion hasn’t changed. 3 inverter air conditioners, an inverter washing machine, an inverter microwave, TVs on energy saving mode, all bulbs as leds and u are down to 3000-5000 watts instantaneous at most..

Why then does anyone need 19k watts??

Uninformed fools

NiyiOmoIyunade:
I am in between two residences cum office work spaces as we speak.

Current house which doubles as office, I have 7.56kw of panels on the roof made up of 3.96kw of 330w Canadian Solar and 3.6kw of 300w Flames panels.

Loads are 2 1hp ACs and 1 1.5hp AC + a microwave and Freezer and Fridge and Water Dispenser always on. At night we power down to 2 1hp ACs only - the 1.5hp is always off at night.

Base load without ACs are about 700w when you count various fans and lights and assorted equipment always on. Add on the ACs and I easily see up to 4kw of load. The historic highest I have seen (limited by 8kva Victron inverter is about 6,000w of load).

New location has 7.7kw of panels - Canadian Solar 385w (20pcs) on the ground mount/car port - This car port is approximately 19m by 4.3m and can park 4 to 5 cars easy. When we finish moving house, the Flames Solar panels will relocate from current location to our permanent base and will sit on thesame car port - car port can take 36 panels of which 20 spaces are already taken by the 385w panels and 16 spaces are left for the Flames once we mount the Flames, 4 slots will be left for later expansion.

New location also has a flat concrete roof of which 3.6kw of Canadian Solar Panels are being mounted here and then will move the 3.96kw of Canadian Solar from current location to permanent base on thesame roof.

So we will end up with 7.7 + 3.96 + 3.6kw = 15.26kw of Canadian Solar panels + 3.6kw of Flames for a total of 18.86kw.

If I can sell the Flames for a good price and go all Canadian Solar then I will - I keep saying I got to 19kw by a happy accident - the target was 15kw of panels but we were doing December year end count and I found 12 pcs Canadian Solar 300w panels neatly packaged for transport in my store but not owing them to anyone I must have overbought when I was stocking up.

To loads we will have 2units 2hp ACs + 1 Unit 1.5hp + 2 Units 1hp AC running. All this cooling is required for very large rooms and moderate traffic during the day. At night only about 3hp of ACs will run but always a base load of 800w + another 200w for security lights at night will run. Also a pressure pump of 0.5hp is always on and ready to work plus a 1hp pump that comes on ocassionally.

All these loads at the permanent base will run off the 15Kva Victron with the 8kva just resting as backup. I had to use a robust distribution bus apart from the DBs to make the 15kva single phase Victron serve all the dedicated inverter DBs which are all 3 phase.

To folks who have requested pictures, I will provide once the system is final in one location and photo worthy.

I foresee an additional 6 to 8 PylonTech bricks to take us to 40kwh of storage

Remember I said the business is seeing increased interest in premium Lithium - it is key we have running systems similar to what our clients demand so we can give them the best support and service.


After running a few months I will optimise the entire installation for loads and everything else - in the few days I have been playing with the Pylon Techs I have glimpsed a few insights which I will share to the house later, I even now have the Pylon Tech supervisor software which allows firmware updates and precise monitoring and control of the BMS and each individual cell via a console connection - all this experimentation and learning cannot be done on a client's production system.

truthbetold22:
Shut up sir.

For the average uninformed black man, any form of criticism is jealousy, envy and bitterness so you are no different. That is exactly why Africa is where it is today. We all have to think and act same way. If you took the time to read my message carefully and understood the finer details, you would have simply countered my points or held your peace. It isn't a function of a lifestyle projection. It is simply a function of system efficiency. At that level, it is no longer a wise or cost effective install.

Why should I be bitter or jealous over a solar installation? If I had just 2 batteries and had constant electricity, have I not fulfilled the same need as Niyi? Do I need to have 50,000 Watts of Panels when 3000 watts can do the job? You must be very dense.

Next time, try to sound intelligent.

It seems you are even more drunk that the fellow who posted the gibberish. Go and buy the 500gig brand new ps4 for 106k, show me receipt, I will give out mine for free.

That camo pad sells for 18k. I am saving the buyer nothing less than 40k, are you OK. Or maybe I should give it out for free cos caption reads clearance. Do not cause me to use more profane words on you!!
