This is one problem am having with the solar discussion, i am yet to get any reviews and feedback from those actually using it, rather what we read is “my friend” “my neighbor” “the one i installed last month for a client”. I have a neighbor across my fence with over 12 panels and the security lights are so dimmed that a candle is even brighter. I am yet to see a company that runs on solar, i was driving by a filling station the other day with over 12panels on their roof yet the generator sound was as loud so what were the panels installed for?

Maybe in the nearest future solar will become better but now its a waste of funds.

If am to spend 7m on something i expect my Ac, water pump, Tv, washing machine and mico wave to be working because that is what i use my generator for. Don’t tell me to install a solar and you now go around to give me a list of what i should not use while on solar. Just a small mini rechargeable fan you asking me to turn of my light bulbs after spending 7m abeg make it make sense.

Knowledge is solar power.

This thread has been on the topic of polystyrene being flammable or not for so long.

Most polystyrene manufactured today has a flame retardant, SO IT DOES NOT CATCH ON FIRE . However, it melts on exposure to fire or direct electric current. Screeding, painting helps reduce the direct exposure (demonstration video below)

We need to get the facts correct on what the definition of flammable and polystyrene means. There the 2 major types of polystyrene used in construction Extruded polystyrene (EPS) and Expanded polystyrene (XPS) .

Every material has advantages based on cost, weight, ease of installation, location of use etc. Whether POP board, Gypsum panel board, Fiber cement board or polystyrene board.
