How are your parents using the solar without inveter?

netmillionaires:
So many things need clarification in this country. Another issue bothering me is concerning electricity connection. I built a house for my parent but electricity is yet to get to the area. My parents are staying there and have been managing the small solar installation.

Now while the electric pole is being gradually installed, The community CDA is asking the houses to make payment for the poles and the metal nepa cable that connects the poles before being allowed to connect their houses to the mains. The requested amount from each house is close to #300,000. So I have been wondering who owns the pole and its connecting lines. If it is NEPA, why then do we have to pay that much to connect our house?

Is it not the electricity companies' responsibility to bring their service to the area while the landlords pay for monthly services rendered?

But one can go to the office and change the address na.

gabbasin:
you can't use smart meters elsewhere except the address it's originally registered for use

"use it as rent" pls i dont understand that statement.

FireUpNow:


Price of single phase prepaif meter is 135k, you will also pay for KYC and installations. Getting a meter now together with Installations is high. The landlord should purchase the meter or if the tenant does, calculate total expenses then make agreement with oga landlord for you to use it as rent.

Why will you share the bill when the meter is yours?

HopeVictor:
People suggesting he should buy a prepaid meter and register in his name are probably Tennants that doesn't even know the process of acquiring a prepaid meter.

The only remedy is to plead with your landlord to get another meter then you share the bill or deduct from your next rent if you're paying for it.

Why will he throw away nepa light. Wont the solar use inverter?

Murketeer:

Why not do 2M solar and throway Nepa light

Each person 16k?

Beremx:
I share prepaid meter with four people including my landlord. We spend only 16k in a month. We are on Band C which is approximately 16 hrs a day

Pls, what does this single phase prepaid meter mean?

Is there still other types of prepaid meter apart from this single phase?

yemmit90:


A single face prpaid meter is now around 135k.

Is this one a meter also?

sarujaSA:


Yes, you can calculate your usage by installing sub metering which is called extra and mind you, you cannot take the meter away from the house it was registered in

How? I have never heard of this.
"Prepaid meter is immovable"?

I use to hear about people that pack out of the house with their meter!

gratiaeo:

Prepared meter is immovable, it's registered with house number

Okay.
This one is just to check how much light you consume. Is not the normal meter, abi?

udeh3:
I will advice anyone sharing metre to buy a personal "CHECK METRE". This is not the regular metre, but, a check metre. It measures your energy consumption. Once you know your energy consumption, then, you have the idea of the amount to pay

You can also suggest to the landlord or facility mgt company to install Check metres for all tenants or occupy, thereby, everyone pay for what they consumes while sharing on Metre

Where did you apply for it?

tanigororo:
Planning to apply for a personal meter before the end of the year, I was told 200k for express delivery.

Where can one get it(prepaid meter)?

Ogbuefi20:
Two of you should donate money and buy additional one meter. Price of meter is not up to 100k. But you should discuss with the landlord first

You cant take it along with you when parking out?
Pls, explain the "not movable"?

Trendy247:
If you can afford 40k bill on a month, then you can afford to get your own prepaid meter. But be aware that prepaid meters are not movable.

What is sub meters?

tunwumi:

Yes, you must have Inverter. The Inverter does the work of converting the sun's energy to electrical energy.

Thanks so much.
Can one use this type of setting(solar) to run a barbing salon?

KingGeedorah:

Okay. But you have solar?

lebete3000:

Okay.
But it depends on the kind of iron though. Some irons are light-weight.

tete7000:


Will it not increase the power usage. A pressing iron is rated 1500W.

Bracelets. The one that can be wore on the hand?

You have inverters too?

highchief1:

Thanks so much.

bamac:
no need for inverter. You can install the fan and light yourself. Total should be around 230k depending on location.

You can check my signature to process them for you.

I appreciate.

Barteze:

Ok, this is it.
Due to the economic situation in the country people only spend except it is absolutely necessary because they are managing the little they have. So if you're selling non essential items you'll discover your sales are low and you still have to pay bills and still provide for your family when you go to restock the amount you usually buy have changed due to inflation so you buy less quantity the tread continues until the empty spaces in the shelves begin to show. My brother the country is really hard now everytime you go to market the price has changed from what you buy the last time. The only people that are a bit insulated are those that sell essentials stuffs like foodstuffs or restaurants, pharmaceuticals and baby products.

Okay.
But you guys won't make much money in kaduna. Even if things are cheap, the north is still poor compare to the south.
