easyyoke: A good quality solar panel should produce 70-80% of the rated capacity at peak sunlight and in good weather. So you should get at-least (266watts-304watts). During harmattan and dusty weather, you should get about 45-55% of the rated wattage.
Thank you.
I have 4 pcs of 380W (1,520W total) Exulted black solar panels on the roof and I get about 465W at peak.
Since this recent issue with GasCos and GenCos, electricity supply has been pretty terrible, I now get around 5 to 6 hours of light. Luckily for me, I have an existing solar set up and I bought lithium batteries in October last year.
My existing set up is: 8 solar panels of 300w each 2.5kva, 24v inverter (it had an inbuilt solar charge controller which went bad and I had to get an external charge controller last year) 60A MPPT solar charge controller 2 100Ah 25.6v lithium ion batteries connected in series, which, if I am not mistaken, gives me about 5.12kwh of power (give or take efficiency losses)
Now to the load I put on it: 65 inch TCL TV 100w samsung inverter fridge (though I recently changed the compressor, so who knows if it is still consuming 100w) An old 175w scanfrost deep freezer (always on, not sure it cycles on and off like the inverter fridge) Lights Fans (ceiling fans - I never even knew these consumed so much energy until this Nepa issue when I found out one fan consumes 75w,that's almost as much as my fridge!)
I am getting about 10-12 hours of power of mixed use. Two ceiling fans + fridge and freezer will run down the battery from 100% to 5% in about 8 hours based on my calculation/observation. This means I can't run both overnight, and so I pick and choose to ensure the battery power lasts till morning when the sun comes back up.
I have two questions/concerns: 1. Is this level of drain fair enough or do you think there could be a problem with my set-up? 2. How do I get to 12 hours of power with my major appliances (fridge and freezer) running constantly? Do I need to start thinking of inverter freezers (I guess technology has improved in recent years). Or will I need to get an additional battery?
Many thanks in advance and apologies if I have asked any questions for which the answers seem obvious - I have not really paid detailed attention to alternative energy until this year.
Get a smart plug to control the hours heavy appliances can run.
Freezer and fridge should run between the two 9:AM - 3:00 PM daily.
With the smart plug, you can program it to start by 9 AM and shut down by 3PM. This way you can save energy.
9jatriot: Beyond politics, who can explain why Anambra seems to be very prone to erosion?
The soil that I see there is red soil which is claylike in nature, so why then does it wash off so bad to the point that the report says up to 100m? 100M is too deep to be filled back, so what really causes it?
EmekaStanley: I hired a lady last week Monday and fired her on Friday same week. I concluded she was not ready yet.
This lady came almost 2 hours late for interview without communicating her reason. If she was going to be late, she should inform the interviewer. Red flag.
I ignored that and decided to proceed with the interview. I decided not to conclude on her based on the interview outcome. I love giving people chances.
I offered her the job, she was excited. She was sent an offer letter which she accepted. On resumption date, this lady came late for work. First day at work. I was like 'Is this 24 year old lady innocently naïve or what?".
On Friday last week, this lady came to work by 10.55am. He work time is 8.00am, and she is an office admin. I was on my seat and sighted her walking in, I had to call her and told her to go back home, and that was it.
By the way, she lives like 15 minutes away from the office, and her route is always against traffic.
I wouldn't know when she resumed from Tuesday to Thursday because I came quite late on those days due to field engagements. When I resumed, I met her sleeping twice. After that, she abandoned her work and stepped out to answer a phone call for almost 1 hour.
My experience with this lady made me understand that a lot of people looking for work are not ready for/to work.

Dtruthspeaker: You are talking about yourself for I have done no evil in saying stick to one wife after this is expressly stated unlike you trying to use the darkness of God's long patience to tell others to join you in doing evil.
Ecclesiastes 8:11 Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul
This is just the case that broke the camel's back". A case of you don too do and your cup don full today.
Which of us when we first read it, did not take note of David's sins as he was going?
Where we not expecting that he would be punished soon, at least, if not immediately then later?
So 2 Samuel is just the case that God took up that He would use to start dealing with David, as He did to Pharoah.
So because The Lord is slow to anger so you foolishly think you have permission to do evil, judgement day go shock you.
Dtruthspeaker: God was not punishing David for taking another man's wife, He was punishing David because David don to do too much exactly how Sodom and Gomo did too much until God said it was enough and time for Him to act.
Which is why we say your cup don full!
The op did exactly what homosexuals and tatooers do all because they are not immediately destroyed.
A case of Ecclesiastes 8:11 Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.
And you have fallen into this hole of destruction in taking for granted the goodness of The Lord in His being slow to anger.
So shall destruction come on all those who did not heed to Instruction.
You are simply like your father as Christ said in John 8.
John 8:44-45 [44]For you are the children of your father the devil, and you love to do the evil things he does. He was a murderer from the beginning. He has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies. [45]So when I tell the truth, you just naturally don’t believe me!
David was explicitly punished for taking another man's wife.
2 Samuel 12:1-12 [1]So the lord sent Nathan the prophet to tell David this story: “There were two men in a certain town. One was rich, and one was poor. [2]The rich man owned a great many sheep and cattle. [3]The poor man owned nothing but one little lamb he had bought. He raised that little lamb, and it grew up with his children. It ate from the man’s own plate and drank from his cup. He cuddled it in his arms like a baby daughter. [4]One day a guest arrived at the home of the rich man. But instead of killing an animal from his own flock or herd, he took the poor man’s lamb and killed it and prepared it for his guest.” [5]David was furious. “As surely as the lord lives,” he vowed, “any man who would do such a thing deserves to die! [6]He must repay four lambs to the poor man for the one he stole and for having no pity.” [7]Then Nathan said to David, “You are that man! The lord, the God of Israel, says: I anointed you king of Israel and saved you from the power of Saul. [8]I gave you your master’s house and his wives and the kingdoms of Israel and Judah. And if that had not been enough, I would have given you much, much more. [9]Why, then, have you despised the word of the lord and done this horrible deed? For you have murdered Uriah the Hittite with the sword of the Ammonites and stolen his wife. [10]From this time on, your family will live by the sword because you have despised me by taking Uriah’s wife to be your own. [11]“This is what the lord says: Because of what you have done, I will cause your own household to rebel against you. I will give your wives to another man before your very eyes, and he will go to bed with them in public view. [12]You did it secretly, but I will make this happen to you openly in the sight of all Israel.”
Someone like you isn't qualified to even be a cleaner in my church because you are suffering form religious trauma syndrome
BELIEF PERSEVERANCE:
Belief perseverance, also known as belief persistence, is the inability of people to change their own belief even upon receiving new information or facts that contradict or refute that belief. In other words, belief perseverance is the tendency of individuals to hold on to their beliefs even when they should not.
CONFIRMATION BIAS: Confirmation bias occurs from the direct influence of desire on beliefs. When people would like a certain idea or concept to be true, they end up believing it to be true. They are motivated by wishful thinking. This error leads the individual to stop gathering information when the evidence gathered so far confirms the views or prejudices one would like to be true.
Once we have formed a view, we embrace information that confirms that view while ignoring, or rejecting, information that casts doubt on it. Confirmation bias suggests that we don’t perceive circumstances objectively. We pick out those bits of data that make us feel good because they confirm our prejudices. Thus, we may become prisoners of our assumptions. Source >> https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/science-choice/201504/what-is-confirmation-bias%3famp
Dtruthspeaker: The op is only doing what fornicators, tithe thieves, gay people, tattooers do which an attempt to defend their sins.
Every time someone says that something is not a sin, it is always a sin.
And it is clearly shown that God punished David, so you can not justify your sins.
As Revelation said, "continue in your sins". Judgment Day go settle all.
God punished David for taking another man's wife, not for having multiple wives and side chics.
Wait.... Are you a tithe collector?
Christ countered the devil with the scriptures. Op provided enough evidence, yet you couldn't counter with one, you were just there running up and down using your biase mind to enforce a doctrine that is not scriptural.
kennybabs1980: My younger brother (half brother) and his wife believes so much in online investments. I called him and advised him seriously against such phantom businesses last year July but he didn't take my advise. His wife even insulted me at a time because of the advise.
At that time he was into a particular one called Kala. He collected money from people to the tune of N9.6million in the name of trying to help them invest in Kala. The investment went under and he is now using family members to pressurize me to assist him especially to secure a loan from a particular coop society I belong to so that he can pay off four of the people he help to invest who are seriously troubling his life with police and thugs.
I am not willing to do this under any condition. I have told him to sell off our late dad's landed property if he can get a buyer but people are offering peanuts and two of our sisters (his own full sibs) are insisting on getting their own share immediately it is sold, one even said she didn't send him on online investment. If he can get buyer for the property, I can help talk to our other siblings but these two, no way!
How can I help this stobborn brother without hurting myself?
Dtruthspeaker: In your mind your judgement is right. So the judgement of the goose should not be given to the gander? Then you wonder why Christ did not agree with the men to stone the adulterous women because a woman commits adultery by herself alone.
You people are devils indeed.
I didn't say my judgement is right or wrong, my submission is solely based on the bible.
realoscar84: God told the Israelites that another prophet will be sent to teach them what they must do to gain everlasting life! Deuteronomy 18:18-19
Why then do the Christian refer to Jesus as God? They started from the "3 God in One" as in holy trinity, as if that wasn't enough, they moved to "Jesus is Lord" which is still popular today. Then they moved to the height of blasphemy by referring to Jesus as God. Jesus is just another messenger of God Almighty just like others before and after him sent to liberate the Israelites but you lots have elevated him to the status of God. How illogical can that be? According to you guys, God was crucifixes, he bled and he even cried on the cross? Damn.
Ignorant people have turned Christianity to a joke.
They first started by changing the name of the Messiah to Jesus and making their own version of god. Blonde blue eyes fine boy jesus.
I see em as jokers.
Christ never said he's Yahweh (God the Father), but ignorant people eeeh
John 1:1 to me is blasphemy. That's the genesis of all the drama.
Antiochus: Polygamy wasn't God's plan from the beginning. God gave a wife to Adam not wives it was sin that brought in Polygamy.
Genesis 2:24 [24]Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
They shall become one and not two or three or five so polygamy is against God's plan for man.
Always read the bible in context and not from a closed mind.
A man becomes one with all his wives, why there is a law protecting all the wives. Apart from the bible, our ancestors practiced same here and same is applicable to lots of culture outside Africa.
This is why there's no place in the entire bible it's written divorce your husband because of infidelity because a man is allowed to take more than one woman and concubines.
Divorce because of infidelity is for women only.
Christ said, you only divorce your wife if she cheats, never did he said, divorce if he cheats.
MaxInDHouse: All dead humans are in Hell now because Hell (Grave) is the end of all sinners {Psalms 9:17} and since all humans have sinned and fallen short of God's glory {Romans 3:23} anyone dead in the past are all in Hell! Ecclesiastes 9:5-10
The one and only human who died was buried and returned from Hell is Jesus of Nazareth, he is now alive and forever will he continue to be alive! Act 2:31
Whoever wants to live forever after resurrection must seize the opportunity to make Jesus his/her role model {John 3:16} that is the one and only human approved from God to teach us how we can gain everlasting life! Matthew 17:5
Though Jesus never got married so what has Jesus got to do with this case as our role model? 1Peter 2:21
Jesus referred all his listeners to the standard God set in the beginning regarding marriage {Matthew 19:4} God's standard in the beginning is ONE Adam= ONE Eve! Genesis 2:24
Hell and grave isn't same.
Right now, there's no body in hell including Satan.
Before you drag that Satan is in hell, read Job 1:6-7, Revelation 20:10-15 and 1 Kings 22:20-23 (lying spirit there is Satan who has been part of the heavenly court meeting).
Christ went to the grave not hell, that was why some saints who died came back alive, they weren't in hell rather hade (grave).
Grave is hade not hell. You can simply say underworld.
He made them male and female doesn't contradict or disprove polygamy.

Alesa3341: Hello Guys, please I need a sincere and matured advise on what to do. This will be long, please bare with me.
I'm 27, am a businessman, I have this girl I really love so much and intend to marry her this year December, but one thing about her is her bad character. She challenge me, talk back at me, shout at me, get angry with me for days, refuse to cook when she is angry, disrespect my family, most especially my mum, always trying to paint herself good and paint me bad in presence of people, these are just little of the things she has done to me.
When she lost her job, and had nowhere to go, I had to bring her to my house, and provide everything for her, food, I change her hair twice a month, subscribe unlimited for her, I just provided everything a woman need to be happy for her. Last year November, she told me she haven't seen her mum for 5years and wanted to travel to see her, I spent close to 200k to take her to and fro, including other things she needed. She insisted on collecting the bride price list for me when coming back, I spoke to her mum and they gave her to give me. I was planning to finalize all on the weeding this year.
Last year DECEMBER, I took her to my family to introduce her, but this was the biggest mistake of my life. She was completely disrespectful to my mum, talks to me anyhow in presence of anyone, even to the extent of refusing to cook for me anytime she is angry, I go to kitchen and prepare food myself.
I love this girl so much but I still thought of continuing, with all this attitudes, I advise her everyday, I also took her to my pastor who advise her too most of the times, but she never changes.
Fast forward to 2days ago, we had issues because she told me to join her in washing and I refused because I was working on a client project, she got angry, washed the clothes and when it was evening she brought the clothes inside, folded her own in the wardrobe and just threw mine into the wardrobe without folding or arranging them. I was angry about this, but I kept mute. The next day, she sent me "sorry" on WhatsApp, I told her to come to me physically and apologize but she told me she can never do that, and why was she even apologizing, that she did nothing wrong, we exchanged words and she left my house.
Today, she called me and told me she is pregnant, and that I should send her money to remove it. I was like "just like that"? We didn't discuss about it, how will you just tell me you want to terminate my pregnancy, I told her to go to hospital and confirm it and also get the test report, she did this and sent to me, it was true she is pregnant, but she insisted on removing it, I persuaded her and she still refused, claiming she can't be a single mother. I told her I will take responsibility, but she insisted on removing it, I told her to go home and think about it, and she told me she can't leave there without removing it. After so much persuading I decided to give her the money, and told her if she removed it, that it's on her, that I didn't consent to this.
I asked her why we can't keep it, and she said because my family is bad, we support evil, if the sky is blue, we say it's red, that my mother is a bad woman, and she doesn't want to come there. She said so many bad things about my family, I was shocked! I asked her, how are they bad, she said "how can my mother be telling her to wash my clothes" I was just confused, After all I have done for you, is it bad if you wash your husband to be clothes, I left her!
Later she told me the doctor referred her to another hospital, I still tried to persuade her and she said her decision is final. She asked me to give her money to go to the hospital she was referred to, I refused! I insisted that we keep the baby, she told me "I'm a nobody, that she will call now and she will get money to go" I angrily blocked her. Later, she called my other line and told me, she went to the other hospital and the doctor told her, the cost to remove the pregnancy is 125k, she told me and I insisted on keeping the baby.
Please guys help.me, I don't want to terminate my first child, the girl is too disrespectful and rude, I don't want to continue with such woman, but she is carrying my baby, what do I do? And if she later agree to keep it, how do I go about it?
You all are just saying "don't marry her" what about the baby? Should I agree to abort it and give her the money?

patwilly: I enjoin all forum members to actively contribute my budget is 4.5M the choices I am looking at are these :
1. Toyota Rav 4, (2011) Nigerian used. A friend is actually convinced this is the car I should buy as it fits nicely in terms of prestige and functionality. However, I'm not fully convinced as per buying a Nigerian used car and also because I'm not really taken to the RAV4 as I see it as not a masculine car.
2. Toyota Camry 2011 or 2012 (muscle) : I like this car and if it falls within my budget I'd happily buy it. The only negative here is I've been wanting an SUV to be my first car considering Lagos roads etc so I'm not totally sold on the idea of getting this car.
3. Toyota Highlander full option (2007) Direct Belgium or Nigerian used: Now this is the car I I'm most taken to. However, Friends are of the opinion that it is an old car (being 2007) and is gradually being phased out. Also the fact the car does not exactly convey much in terms of prestige etc.
So that's it. I'd appreciate if forum members advice correctly on any of these three car models or recommend something else. Kindly highlight the merits/demerits of buying the foreign used or Nigerian used version of any car you'd recommend.
The attributes I'm looking out for are Functionality, ease of Maintenance, prestige/aesthetics of the car.
I appreciate you all.
Avoid 9ja used car like a plague, since its your first car I recommend foreign Honda Civic or any that's not 9ja used.
Don't let your village people succeed with 9ja used car.
