YES. That one that draw light fron NEPA pole directly into your compound. It's same wire NEPA cuts when you fail to pay them for darkNess. Those Omo Ibo shops along the street / road sells it. Just tell them you want to by made In Nigeria wire; and ask for the full bundle because they do have 2 sizes and most times, would try to sell to you the smaller bundle. Price am 17,000 naira or slightly lower

Wow! Just hearing this for the first time. Thanks

Out of stock few hours ago.

Oh. Wen are u stocking again?

bassdow:
to me, I suggest @cyif2003 first get the solar panels and charge controller. His only complain is they (mostly the wife + baby) now spend more time at home than before hence issue of NEPA is not morenow obvious.

No need getting another inverter or upgrading if their current system still serves them HENCE me suggestion to get the solar panels and charge contorller which costs between 50,000 naira to 100,000 naira depending on if it's used or new. That way, He doesn't spend unnecessarily.

The Solar panels + charge controller takes over the role of NEPA in life of the inverter. He saves the rest.

Should he spend all that budget now, he would end up repeating the system He already has which is small to begin with. He currently owns a 12v solar system; following the suggestions I see above means He would be repeating same thing again.

But by just getting the solar panels + charge controller, He's on his way to building a better upgraded system of either 24v or 36v or 48v .

Mind you, if not for the baby, madam wouldn't be on maternity leave hence the entire home leaves early in the morning and returns late at night/evening hence what they mostly need is Fan, lights, and a couple of others like phone charging, etc. Maternity leave no be forever; it's just for a while.

Once again, @cyif2003; you should buy:
2pcs of 400w / 450w / 500w solar panels (total of 200,000 naira or less),
a good MPPT charge controller (50,000 to 100,000 naira max)
1 bundle of NEPA wire (20,000 naira max) as PV cable

You continue using your current inverter and battery. Only think of changing the battery if after a while, you have valid reason(s) to. With the solar panels, the battery would mostly be used at NIGHT or during prolonged heavy rain else the Solar panels are the ones doing the heavy lifting.

Again, if you must buy a battery, look into going 24v or 48v which means you would have to also upgrade your inverter. A used 24v or 48v inverter would be much cheaper. Don't go and do 12v system twice abeg.

NB: There are lots of rubbish out there in the market. you're are less likely to buy them if you open your eyes + your're informed enough + spend better. For instance, a lot of inverters out there don't have quality copper coil. na mostly aluminium coil coated with copper and guess what; they're rarely as efficient as those with full copper.
Same with Lithium batteries sef. They just flood the market with those things while influencing buyers decision.

Hold on, you mean this Aluminium Nepa cable?

dollarnaira:
Watt and quantity?

2pcs of 600w or 525w half cut. Preferably monofacial.

Or any good brand (original)

Peoples, please where else can I get original Jinko solar panels? There mostly sold out on Fouani..

Bobodee09:
This will be first time I will be given review about item I got from a vendor here.

I have gotten things from couple of people here and recently I got the fitbit ionic smart watch from future focus.

First I must confess the watch is very clean and working perfectly. I just want people that want to deal with him to be very patience. Like be very patience , just communicate with him and exercise patience.

Whatever issues he must had with previous customers I think he now a change person....because at some point we almost had a fall out but with patience we were able to understand each other and things went smoothly.

Patience is the key.

Even if I do, my money will NEVER have patience bro.

Omo I just noticed my 60inches l.g smart tv is 205 watts. That's is much ohh..

The TV should have Eco Mode or Energy Saving function. Whenever I'am on battery backup, I make sure my 50" TV is on Eco Mode.

Donald3d:
Available

Bwilliam:
I want to make it clear that I don't know who Letloveheal is. I have never met him and have definitely never done business with him, whether directly or indirectly.

DenreleDave, I don't know if you made a mistake or you're trying to intentionally link me with Letloveheal, but please try and go see a doctor today, you may be hemorrhaging and don't even know it.

You left your business of hawking your overpriced shoes on what is supposed to be a clearance thread, and tagged me on an issue that I have nothing to do with.

.......overpriced shoes.

cyif2003:
This is an inverter and battery in one unit ryt??

Nope. Just the Lithium battery.

Olamlag:
i currently use a 10kg washing machine on a 1.5kva haisic inverter when the washer is 450watts and dryer is 250 watt i do do run both at once its a 6 years old QASA washine machine top loader. will go for haier thermocool

Nice. I use a 7.5kg QASA Washing Machine, it's 9yrs+ old nw. Good to knw I can connect it to my 1.5kva Haisic hybrid inverter. What's ur battery bank like?

Abruptly:
good morning good people, I am going to be the first in my family to own a washing machine so I want clarification, those using washing machine, what's the best product that washes and "dry" the clothes and how many kw inverter are you using to power it. bassdow, dollsrnaira

Bro, was the first part necessary??

adimx:
The battery is good, but there is no Bluetooth monitoreing.
The BMS can handle 150amps current without issues.
Its a good buy at that price.
The likes that have bluetooth monitoring is from 450k above.

Oh that's great.

I wanted to purchase 230Ah Henry LiFePO4 battery cos a friend purchased the 100Ah type and it has Bluetooth monitoring for a very good price. The 230Ah isn't even upto 400k. Unfortunately, Henry Energy only has 100Ah and 150Ah in stock in Nigeria, telling me others will Com in 2 months.

adimx:
Just add 30k and get colar 3.6kwh, 280AH LFP Battery and enjoy.

Bro, tell me about this battery pls, I posted it here some days ago and asked for user reviews but got no response. How good is it? Grade of cells? BMS? Does it have Bluetooth remote monitoring?

Abg best 12v 200Ah LiFePO4 battery to buy with a budget of 370k??

It all depends on how "Professional and Experienced' the Installer is, in doing Roof Jobs.
I used one called @Zeestone99 / MAZINE Energy / MAZINE GROUP and everywhere on my Roof was leaking after the installation

Read about it here and decide for yourself.

There is a guy here with the username called @Olopan, he does excellent Roof Installation

Thank you for bringing this up to me Chief.
I will sure stay clear of this person or his likes.
Meanwhile, I will consider your recommendation

I finally met with @ceejay80s yesterday concerning the Henry Lithium Battery, really cool dude. We fess leave test wey I com for dey knack ogogoro untop gist for hours . Everything went well anyways. The battery seems good from what iv seen. I'am really pumped to make a purchase but I'll just take a week to make up my mind since I have other brands in mind too.

bassdow:
it happens when it happens. Mostly when done by someone ill experienced or a mistake was made as even experts can make mistakes.

OK Thanks.

The idea doesn't sit well with my Landlord and honestly, I won't want to start battling a leaky roof afterwards. Really skeptical.

Guys, what are the odds of a roof leak after solar panels installation and has anyone here experienced that?

keeper303:
Not yet. I have not been able to fully charge the battery because of unstable electricity supply to carry out the test.

Oh, ok

Any one using this battery? Hw good is it?

keeper303:
I will and post the result here.

How far Chief? Any luck?

Oh, I just found a pic of the setup in my fon and it was a 650Va UPS sef, not a 500Va. I just set it up, I hadn't installed the cooling fan in this picture... Good old times

ceejay80s:
I no dey always get light there, unlike before we used to enjoy atleast 15hr a day,
No come kill the battery and I am not plugging my fridge to it, if Ur plan na to come burn down my house,
Abeg no come oo

Also, honestly, if ur worried about burning ur house den u should run far from using UPS and go get a proper Inverter. I remember in 2020 wen my first Inverter got faulty, it was difficult to get it fixed because of the lockdown den so I decided to temporarily rig up an old UPS instead. Got an old 500va UPS, hooked it up with one of my two 200Ah Mercury DeepCycle Batt den, left the UPS open and also fixed a 12v fan for cooling. Got an external battery charger. It was working well, used it to watch TV den until one day I decided to try the UPS function. I put d UPS on and plugged it to mains, hooked up my TV to it, den switched off the mains thinking the UPS function will kick in immediately, omo, I heard a loud bang and the whole Mosfets caught fire immediately! Na God save me dt day o, I think say my TV don spoil sef. I'am saying this because of u that's been using 100Ah size of battery and below but now e dey hungry u to upgrade to 200Ah

ceejay80s:
Lol....
Country hard now , I dare not waste.

My battery is small and it's serving me well,
I regret I didn't buy 200ah and I got extra free 150k awoof money from nowhere last December which I would have added a gotten a 200ah,
By the grace of God, I will get another 100ah soon as more backup

It's okay. We'll go easy on the battery den.
I want a 200Ah+ Lithium Battery and iv been stuck in a dilemma between Cworth and Deriy and now this Henry

Iv sent u a WhatsApp message dou..

ceejay80s:
