I've come to notice that one of the major culprit to my network challenges on the ODU is letting my sub expire completely before renewing.

For instance, I can get amazing network speeds for my current sub, but as soon as I let it expire and renew later, I'll start having challenges especially towards evening.

So what I have been experimenting on is to renew my sub a day b4 expiry, that way there's no downtime and surprisingly this has worked well for me. Combine this with the 3G only trick, I think you will have less connection problems.

Since mtn seems to be confused if they're launching the ODU or not, make we dey enjoy our Airtel small small.

Something you for sell give guys for here

I for buy am self.

fuckboys:
you sold your X25pro router for 30k? 🤣🤣

I won’t even sell mine for 100k 🤣🤣

My universally unlocked X25pro?

Wait is it the X25 you sold or the X25pro?

X25 pro... Bn lying around since I got the ODU so no point in keeping it.

NSEstudent:
How much you sell am? 😁

Just 30k

NSEstudent:
Is it true that the new X25 Sim isn't unlimited? I would have thought it would be better to do the new device, take the sim and use it with the X25pro. Or do exactly same with any of the ODU devices.

Was asking coz I wanted to sell mine without the sim. Sold anyways.

Guys is it possible to do an HBB sim that can work with the 30k 20mbps subscription say if you have the X25 pro but don't have the sim?

It was never offline

Stopped receiving for a while

Just got 10% cash back from a transaction. Apparently cash back is back online.

Roughly 200k

A. The stands 2½ by 2mm galvanised pipe (2 pieces) 29,500 x 2 = 59,000
You can also use a thicker pipe.

B. 2½ by 6mm angle = 26.5k x 3 = 79,500 (one will be cut into two to stay on each pipe, the remaining two will link the two standing pipes)

C. 1½ by 4mm angle = 8.5k x 3 = 25.5k

D. Logistics

E. Workmanship

F. I used size 17 bolts and nuts

**I cut 400cm from the pipe, between 70 to 80cm will go into the ground, the remaining 320 to 330cm will be above the ground.

**most panels are 114cm wide. Four of them will be 456cm. I cut this 456cm from the two 2½ by 6mm angle.


Attached is what I used for digging. It helped me dig faster and less stressful.

Thanks man 🙏🏾

I made the carport in such a way that it is detachable.

When I was still using 4 panels, I erected it at the side of the building, when I noticed towards 4pm the building was shading it, I uprooted it and moved it to the front, before adding two more stands.

Landlords will even prefer this to placing panels on their roof.

Love this your car port. How much did it cost you in total to construct and how does it hold up against very strong winds?

justasitis:
Before you conclude that your solar panels are generating poorly, you need to understand that most good hybrid inverters are designed to harvest only the required energy per time. This energy per time is a function of the load on the inverter plus the energy required to charge the battery at that point in time. If your load on the inverter is not much and you set the battery charging amp to 20a or 30a, the hybrid inverter will pull only the energy that will do the job from the solar panels even when the panels are generating more energy. If you want to confirm the maximum energy that your solar panels can generate, increase your load at peak hours and also increase your battery charging amperage, then check again.
It’s important to mention that some fake hybrid inverters don’t give accurate energy generation. Also, Bifacial panels are capable of generating higher energies than their rated capacities when properly installed where the back can receive a reflection of sunlight.

100%
In all, bifacial panels are a great investment and value for money.

No I didn't boss. Everything went well untill I tried connecting the communication cable with the battery to the CC. After which I switched on the pv breaker because I been switch am off immediately the inverter that was not even on blow and started displaying 12v likewise the cc. Na so e take happen

If I may ask, why did you want to communicate your battery though?

In my opinion I think inverter to battery communication is one very needless feature, especially for small systems. In complex systems involving multiple batteries/inverters yes its understandable.

If you think otherwise please educate us.

I was at the shop yesterday, though it was cloudy but I was able to take small video at peak sunlight. Generation was hovering between 4.29 to 4.31kw

I can't upload the video here, but here is a sc

This is impressive

Can't remember the last time I used gas sha. I hear say gas don cost 🥱

House I need your help with information needed so I do not make mistakes a novice, that I am, would make. I want to install a solar electrical system for my game shop and I would like to hear what you'd recommend for this setup

Here are the contents of the shop. Note that the wattages I put there are all gotten from looking at the back stickers of each TV

Lg LCD 32 inches TV 140w *2
Samsung 32 inches led 56 watts *2
Samsung 32 inches lcd TV 110 watts *2
Samsung 15 inches lcd TV 40 Watts *4
PS2 fat 3pcs
PS3 super slim
PS3 slim 4 pcs
PS4 slim 2 pcs
Ps5 1 pc

There is an ox industrial 26 inches that I use right now and a plastic fan of 60w. I plan to get rid of both fans and get both DC ceiling fans and DC standing/wall fan so recommendations are welcome pls

All games do not operate at the same time, out of a total of 6 PS3, 2 PS4 and 1 ps5 only 6 can be operational simultaneously, although I plan to add one more 32 inches tV as time goes on which would eventually make the operational games seven in number

The gamehouse typically operates from 9am till around 11pm.


I called an installer to tell me what I'd need to do the installation for the shop and here's what he recommended I do for the setup



SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Growatts 6kva solar inverter

Growatts battery (5.5 kW/h x2)

Jinko solar photovoltaic panels(615 watts)

ACCESSORIES AND OTHERS
1 DC SURGE (500)
1 DC BREAKER (32amps)
1 AC SURGE (500)
2 AC BREAKER (63amps)x2
1 DC BREAKER (63amps)
OTHERS:
18 way breaker box
4 way breaker box
Knife switch change over
Trunking pipe(50x50)x3
Photovoltaic panels rails(x3)
Photovoltaic panels bot 'n' screws(14)
Solar connector /MC 4 plug(2)
CABLES:
photovoltaic panels DC cable (17 meter)
AC CABLE (input) (16 meter)
AC CABLE (output) (16 meter)


Would this, assuming the items are all good quality, be ideal enough for the gamehouse?

If you're going totally off-grid I would suggest 10-15kwh battery.
PlayStations are power hungry.

Try and find out their power ratings though for better recommendations.

Bryanluke:
share website name and do they sell 200w too

No sir. They don't sell 200w

hoover420:
Wow I just checked the Fouani website but they don’t have the 535 watt bifacial panel I wanted to order. Can I order the 590 watt bifacial panel they have, to compliment the single 535 watt panel I already installed? I’m confused, I don’t want to order for it then installer will say it cannot work with each other

I don't think ordering a single panel qualifies for free delivery.

That bn said, better to either wait or get a 535 bifacial from another source. Connecting 590 & 535 will limit output to lowest rated panel resulting in significant loss in efficiency.

lilclin:
best band. Anytime it's on this band that's when network is very fast and stable but sometimes the band 78 goes off and it slows. I've tried band locking but to no avail. I have to switch to auto/5g NSA only before it comes back

Oh you got 5G. No 5G in my location.

lilclin:
I always max out on the 50mbps here steady

Lucky you sir!

lilclin:
Is it just me or Airtel 50mbps ODU sub now surpass 50mbps...I've seen getting over 100mbps on the sub

It happens.. But u guys have strong reception sha. Can't remember the last time I got exactly 50Mbps.

Mine hovers between 20-40 at best.

Bryanluke:
7 but why ain't they giving the right solar panel watt instead of the fake sticker label on the panel

You can just order directly from Fouani website.

I ordered 6 pieces of 625watts bifacial on Monday morning and it got delivered to my doorstep by 3pm free of charge.

epoxide:
This CD care is legit and delivers?

100% sir

So I called an installer for quotation for one project like that and this man shocked me today. He is recommending 10mm Ac cable for the PV (Is this even possible?)

I've heard bassdow talk about using thick Nepa Aluminum wires in place of dc cable to save cost, so which one this installer dey call 10mm normal AC wire 😂.

Told him straight up I want DC cable coz I no fit shout. Abeg make una educate us if this is feasible and what are the likely risks involved for educational purposes.

DAramis:
Can you share pictures and the price you got the itel power tank?

And the link to purchase it? Trying to switch to ODU and would definitely need this also to be factored into it.

In addition, a pic or step by step process to connect it.

You can get the powertank from CDcare online store. Available at 310k.

Although the ODU comes with a power back up that can last from 4-5hrs depending on the type you got.

Just renewed my sub last night and didn't get the usual 10% smartcash bonus. I guess each user has limited amount of time they can enjoy it.

Them say Airtel get timetable for when person go get network 😂

Meanwhile that website fast dot com is very unreliable for speed tests and will give you unnecessary anxiety.

Happy New Month everyone!

Tdoctor:
Nothing will spoil if we explain the difference between sachet and hybrid inverter power differences to people.
Experts can be arrogant at times.

There's a big difference between asking for knowledge on something you don't know about and raising alarm with so much confidence.

That guy came with arrogance accusing Valto of false advertising and writing full page on something he has no idea about. Tomorrow someone with no idea of power factor of inverters will also come and educate us on why 4.2kva is false advertising as it's not up to 4.2kw. It's annoying.

adrusa:
Your response is very interesting and deliberately misleading. It is not everyone that is an expert on the poor ethics of sachet inverter manufacturers that will recognize that a 3000W inverter actually means 1500W. I'm familiar with inverters and even I don't understand a system that inflates inverter powers using their short-lived peak output. That was why I asked you. And I expected that you will respond with their true nominal powers, not hiding under this "manufacturers' claims".

Even Aliexpress sellers clearly indicate the nominal ratings of their inverters, not just leave it to buyers to guess. This is an example from Aliexpress:

[/b]Warm reminder: Dear buyer!

Inverter 2000W, continuous power is 900W, peak power is 2000W.
Inverter 3000W, continuous power is 1300W, peak power is 3000W.
Inverter 4000W, continuous power is 1600W, peak power is 4000W.
Inverter 5000W, continuous power is 2200W, peak power is 5000W.
Inverter 6000W, continuous power is 2500W, peak power is 6000W.
Inverter 8000W, continuous power is 3000W, peak power is 8000W.[b]

When you advertise your inverters next time, please do the same. Include their real nominal outputs so that buyers know exactly what they are getting. It is the honest thing to do. And as you can see, real power is not always "half of their rated powers", it is often less than half.

It's your job to do some research then. Almost all satchet inverter buyers are aware of this fact. If you don't know then you probably shouldn't be buying one.

You can politely ask questions to learn, but accusing someone of false advertising on something that is common knowledge doesn't make you sound as smart as you think.

If by page 2,374 you still dey blow big grammar on this topic then what you need is research & education on the topic, not claims. The pricing alone suppose trigger your curiosity.

Morning house, please does anyone sells or knows anyone that sells Ebikes?
Please reach out
Thanks

Go on tiktok, search Yadea Lagos. Or Yadea Nigeria.

Tover:
are U also In modakeke, if U are near , come chop ram

No I'm in PH..
Thanks for the offer. Happy Eid

Tover:
Currently in modakeke osun state, i carry my odu with me , check my speed, no 4g and 5g in my current location but there is 3g , 5 phones connected ,

Yes I can confirm 3G gives great speeds here too. But only when network is great.

Infact since this morning 4G speeds tanked. Only 3G is giving up to 5Mbps at the moment

Rokynwastar:
GUYS!!!!!
Make una chill for now with the Smartcash app and services. Don't send money to the account as it's impossible to login.
Accounts seem to be locked.

I loaded my smartcash today and also did normal mobile sub. Maybe it's a network glitch

Buzzer99:
For people who used install helper to reposition their odu for good signal
What password did u use?
Mine keeps loading and doesnt move past the password page
I have been using my odu for a while now
I changed wifi name and password
So what should I input here?

For mine I connected via Bluetooth and password is admin.
