Sigh!

The drawing in Pic 1 shared in my post meant nothing to you right? Or interpretation of drawings is also your issue ?

It’s well! I really can’t help you anymore on this. You’re indeed a very good listener. Comprehension is just a major problem even when there are pictures and diagram to aid you, you still miss it.

I’m sure it’s the floor-ceiling part that confused you.

Below is the picture of floor-to-ceiling glass installation for learning purpose.

You win! Congratulation to you sir.

@next.. Stop all these now.. you said I should show you where you mention.... I show you.. you want to twist again to picture .. why not stop all these... I Taya for you ... LOri IRo

igbonla:


It is worth it, and you should go for it if uninterrupted power supply matters to you and you can afford it.

I have been 100% off-grid for almost 2 years now, never going back!

Please, how much did you pay to get yours 100% active?
Mind telling us what it carries?

It a one off project but the battery aspect is not one off

At least, batteries can't be monthly na.

Let’s build this update/ cost.

+ this has to be integrated into your building design.

I don’t like having batteries inside the house for health concerns and possible fire hazard if not well ventilated.

Solar is really worth it but you have to prepare for the raining season when the sunlight is not bright enough.
I've gone off-grid also due to the crazy bills phcn give me. The initial cost could be high but it would pay for itself on the long.
Like you rightly stated the batteries emit gases. Even the sealed maintenance free ones but the wet cell gives off more harmful gas and needs adequate ventilation. It's the one I use because it can last 5 years when well maintained and prevented from draining totally before recharging it. You just need to monitor the water indicator level and top it. Perhaps every 3 to 6 months. Although mine is going 3 months and the level is pretty much as it was when they fixed it.
I changed my freezer to a new model that uses 90 watts and use led bulbs and standing fan even though I could easily use it with ceiling fan.
During high sun period from around 10 am, I use ceiling fan, washing machine and it doesn't affect the battery because while the battery is still charging fast at high sun period, excess charge power those appliances directly simultaneously.
I reckon if I have to replace the batteries in 3 years, it would still amount to paying N10000 monthly with 24 hrs of power. It's still worth it.

Forgive my ignorance bro, not sure of the dimensioning.
My curiosity is on the amount charged for workmanship to fence a house on half plot of land, even when its just fencing on 3 sides.

Timberwolves:


You need to give clearer picture of the work to be done, what's the size of the area to be plastered? and also length of the fence

Thanks chief

Good morning all. This is a shout out to Adedward aluminum. He did a very good job despite the challenges he faced while doing my project. He lost his mother. May her gentle soul rest in peace. I know she is gentle because she raise a gentle and hard working man. He did not use my money to bury his mother and then start giving excuses as some would have done. He did not do a shoddy job and old wife tale as some would have done.
My mum visited the site and she prayed and prayed for the classy job that was done. My friend visited the site and was impressed. His performance on the windows now encourage me to engage him for the bathroom doors. I can attest to the quality of job he did for me and recommends him to those in need of his professional service.
I have given positive feedback to Imran roofing and Adedward Aluminum. If I give you work and you did not perform I will come here and shout.
Thanks all

Going off grid is the way to go. There are few cool stuffs out there that’ll make you enjoy your system.

@next. My Bàbà láti Don come again oh.

So we're almost through with the block setting and by Monday we should start the parapet. (pre-cast) Here is the quotation he dropped again for just labor.

Please kindly help me to peruse the quotation and if it's worth the amount. It's a standard 3 bedroom flat.

Thanks at all

Why are you using harmful toxic batteries while you could use dry cell? which has no need to top anything.

You're reporting him to chairman of the Baba Latis

I hope tomorrow is not too late to reply you on this. Let me ask Clement some questions as he knew the site and the magnitude of the project. You may want to ask him once again if he made a mistake in the numbers though.

Take your time. He didn't make any mistake. He is even trying to cajole me that we need to do the parapet on time cause something something go begin bend. I don't understand the jargons

Pls house give me an idea of how the windows design are charged. Is it per window if so how much?

Mup4life:

You mean window hood if yes, the charge per window size and how complicated the design is

ok thnk you can i get an idea of the average price?

somehow:


Please, how much did you pay to get yours 100% active?
Mind telling us what it carries?

Giving the cost won't add any value due to devaluation/inflation and the fact that I designed the system for my need. I am not into solar energy business, just an enthusiast. Below are the main ingredients used for the system.
- Victron Energy Inverter
- BYD B-BOX 13.8KWH 48V Lithium Ion battery.
- 300W LG solar panels
- Victron Energy charge controller
There is a generator, only as backup for the "rainy days".

The system handles everything in the house, including inverter ACs, but energy management is critical with solar system. I use only 6W LED bulbs, freezer programmed to go off at night, etc. Occasional use of water heater and zero use of electric iron. Use of water pump and washing machine during the day only (about twice a week max).

The most important item you need to focus on is the design of a system that will serve your NEED. Please do not spend a kobo without having in your hands a good design that you understand; to get into the design phase, you must conduct an energy audit. Do not buy those systems being sold with claims on capacity and the load they can carry. A bad experience may scar you and chase you away from solar energy.
Energy audit will show you what you currently consume, and enable you trim down your requirements. Solar energy can be expensive if you don't control your use!
With an energy audit, you have the foundation laid out and will know what capacity you want to design for. And you can play around the components based on affordability and other factors, there are many inverters, panels, and batteries out there. Don't do cheap, you will get whatever you pay for.
I never liked lead acid batteries, whether sealed or wet; while wet is better, it's maintenance can be an issue and may not last 3 to 5 years depending on the source. You should not discharge lead acid batteries below 50% so they don't start failing.
Li-ion batteries are expensive but basically worry-free and will allow you discharge down to 10% of battery capacity (90% DoD). They also last longest!

Just wanted to share a high level summary of the basics, there's a well crafted and concise submission on setting out with solar system at Kobocity. You should go read it.

Whatever you do, don't commit funds into it until you understand what you want to achieve. It is an investment and should be treated as one, also make sure to work with someone that has good referees.

Best of luck.

There are many things we cannot share online but I have a building that does not have a single burglary in the ghetto part of Nigeria and it has been in existence for almost 10 years.

It’s not burglar proofs that protect us. Just be good to the people around you!

Can you share the picture? If you can't can you send me the address privately? so I can look it up on Google earth, if that building exist in a ghetto I will come back here and testify.

abouzaid:
i would advice a small duplex since you can get more rooms from a small plot of land. i think i can design a six bedroom duplex for it but atleast two of the bedrooms won't be en suite. do you have a survey plan of the plot?
