Almost the same thing with mine @56.4/KWh is not funny how does someone deal with the very hot weather?

Just bought from PHED @60.67/KWh

HenryDion:
Get prepaid meter bro.

How easy is it to get prepaid?

solar power

seunlayi:
I will still give it 98%. You will know that you will manage whatever you have and if if have gen, you can on it to boost the battery and today, their is sunlight..... This is better than uncontrollable PHCN.

Yea, today's good. Batteries fully charged and making use of the sunlight with all appliances on .

AbuAeesha:

like a fridge 250litres,one mini washing machine, 1 fan,tv and fee bulbs

1.5kva is okay as long as the fridge ans washing machine are solar fridge and solar washing machine

That's how it's in Lagos , public compounds ain't helping matters. Just relocate to another apartment where you will have your own personal prepaid meter, if not you will always recharge for those whose electricity points is more than yours.

empressSkincare:


I refused to collect too o but 35K per month for a flat no be beans o. I tire like this!

That's what I get atm oo

Having a personal prepaid meter is the only way one can manage energy consumption.

Where I live , my landlord has three bedroom flat , we tenant all live in single room .(face me face you).
We pay the same amount to recharge the prepaid.

When we are giving the prepaid meter .he mandated all to pay up outstanding bill from the postpaid ,which we did. but he never paid his.

Hot plate and iron is banned

Every first recharge of the month , 3665 naira is always deduct .

We all agree to use from 7 pm to 9 am from Monday to Saturday and live on in the day on sunday.

but he on it at will when he have visitors all anytime he wishes when we tenant are not around.

my shop is close to the house ,am always aware when it is on
We are told we still have 2years to clear the outstanding bill

I was like there could be a better way to manage energy consumption.

Use mostly 5 watt AKT energy bulbs. Use electrical appliances with inverters. Turn off gadgets when not needed.

MrCamron:



For Solar batteries, you should try Amaron quanta.
I use the 12v 200AH type.
I have been using this set of batteries since 2019 to power my 5 bedroom duplex,they are still functioning like newly bought batteries.

A unit price then was 160k, I don't know about now.

Tip: Try as much as possible not to be charging any type/kind of inverter batteries using a generator,except in a situation you can't afford not to. That's a tip I have always adhered to since 2012 when I got back to Nigeria to use solar/inverter to power my house.

Why not?

sasview:
I am just curious with the disco tariff on energy consumption, if one is not careful the cost of buying energy will be competing with rent. I have seen apartments that share prepaid meter and all parties involved agreed to only use energy /light during the night or weekend, so they disconnect from disco during day.
I was like there could be a better way to manage energy consumption. If you have an alternative way pls. share and let's benefit from it.

We use inverted appliances, they consume low energy . Our AC’s, refrigerator, washing machine, TV , Home theatre and they are always on. We recharge 10,000 and we use it for close to two months.... our light situation is average though

Amojii:
Post paid is the best

How much do you get on postpaid every month? They give me 32k per month. How is that better? With the epileptic power supply

femijay8271:


Pls tell me more about this thermocool inverter/energy saving freezer

Still freezing after 5 days power interruption. U'll surely enjoy it.Good for biz

the higher your availability supply the higher you pay. based on the service band tarrif

nurez305:
I really don't know how they are charging some people, I have all the basic electrical appliances in my house including rice cooker.

I hardly finish 1500 naira token on my prepaid meter.

My brother told me that Ikeja electric distribution gave 20 unit for 1k and I still get 35 unit on every 1k recharge.

My question is why is some paying higher than others ?

NB the prepaid meter was done by NEPA official and I never bypass anything and I will never do so.

shopwiser:
Firstly no light everywhere in Nigeria plus fuel is expensive.. so we certainly can't even relate to your post.. Nigeria electricity powering gets poor day by day... Will it kill our leaders to power our country for even 12 hours a day.

Maybe your location. We have light 22hrs a day here (Jos)....This is on an average.

To the post,
I don't own a TV or home theatre. The things that consumes my unit are my refrigerator, water heater (bathroom), hot plate and microwave.
I use 2500 naira worth of unit a month. 1000 naira provide me with 16.5 units.
I switch on my refrigerator for 6hrs a day. My water heater consumes most of the unit as I forget to switch it off some times.

I'm learning new ways here

Thumbs up....a word is enough for the wise

YeyeGbami:
Very crazy, i’m in a High Demand area according to them na like 50 to 55Naira per unit Kw/h. If i buy 20K e no dey pass 15days unless the light no steady.


As per management.
Use AC only if necessary and if you leave am for lowest temp na gbese cos the compressor go just dey blast dey go.

Use gas instead of electricity for cooking and baking etc.

If you have Water dispenser, switch on when you need cold or hot water. Gone are those days when you will just leave it on.

Switch all bulbs to energy saver, and switch of when not in use.

TV also has setting where you can reduce the brightness to save power. use Eco mode.

Appliance on standby still draw electricity, so switch them off completely if not in use.

If you have pumping machine, better to convert it to automatic so it pumps whenever it get to a preset level. That way you’d be saving electricity instead of waiting till the tank is almost empty or some people will leave it on and waste both water and electricity.

If you have inverter, and you like to waste the battery instead of saving it. You will spend more electricity to charge it back to 100%.

If you get money you can buy led light that have motion sensor/detector for your yard

Wetin remain sef, if you’re the head of house don’t even try to leave these responsibilities for your wife or kids cos they won’t manage it like you wey dey buy the token.

Always educated them on how to manage electricity, otherwise you go just dey see your meter blinking red and making that stupid beep beep noise.

Lastly, don’t get tempted to bypass because if disco catch you. it will hurt like bee sting.

Ire o!

nurez305:
I'm on Eko discos and I get 35 unit for 1k, I don't really know why yours is different

35 unit for 1k for eko electricity? Guy drop me for my bus stop abeg am not going again

Long time ago, I diversified into Split Solar Electric Power Generation System.

It pays to be independent.

The Sunshine Is Free.

Heaven helps those who think and ack properly at the right time always.

To Hell With Kanji Dam, And All Other Gas Powered High Volatage Alternator.

Infact, to Hell With Government or Private Families Generated Electricity.

There are tons of videos on YouTube you all can watch to learn how to Build Powerful Solar Panels not to talk of Neodymium Magnet Actuated Axial Wind Mills.

Chinese, Haa, May God Bless them and Yes Baba Obasanjo and His Co leaders during his tenure (a sensibly "corrupt" politician unlike the foolishly foolish ones we have now) for diverting our importation source to them. Yes to asia where you can easily source for materials and components those arrogant Europeans would charge you dry to send to you if ever they choose at all.

Again and again, May God Bless Baba Ebora Owu and yes Those Asians.

Learn to build Asial Permanent Magnet Generator watching YouTube videos.

Buy the Neodymium Magnets from Aliexpress or Alibaba if you would need many.

You can get pure insulated copper wire locally in Lagos, Aba, Onitsha, Ibadan(ogunpa, Labaowo etc.)

Learn to wind your coils using winding jigs which is simple to make.

You need resin and adner too.

A former.

Plywood which you can make with water base gum and sawdust expecially during dry season as it would dry faster. But you can buy the ready made ones of 2cm thickness. To know the thickness, you need a caliper which you can get on Aliexpress.com too.

If you have the money, you can leave plywood and use resin alltru to cast the coil holder or totally submerged the coils in resin.
You need heavy duty or High Amperage, High Voltage Diodes or connect smaller ones in Parallel.

You need metal plates too to cover you magnets so as to prevent power stray and uniform circulation of magnetic power from the magnet over the coils as you would arrange your magnets in NSNSNS fashion. Though there are other ways to get super power from your wound coils.

See, the possibilities of generating your own electricity is just Endlessly Endless and the materials needed are Insurmountable Available thanks to the Chinese.

You need a galvanized pipes onto which your newly constructed Cogless Axial Wind Powered Generator would be locked in.

Do more research and you will get total solutions to your energy needs.

But I'd you wanna avoid stress, go for Split Solar Electric Power Generator.

HINT: SOLAR PANELS IS THE BACK AND HEARTBEAT OF SOLAR POWER GENERATION SYSTEM

So you need to buy first Monocrystaline Solar Panel before any other parts which are Mppt Controller, Pure Sine Wave Inverter and lastly Battery.

There are some inverters that do not require battery to generate electricity and they are called Gridtie Inverter. To make your Battery last longer, you can build a battery output pulser which would pulse discharge your battery or array of batteries into a Capacitor Bank or Super capacitor bank which you can build yourself using Aliexpress bought aluminum foil roll, paper or tissue paper, multi strand rubber insulated copper wire, plastic tape and salt solution. You will roll the whole thin into a pvc pipe.

Ease watch YouTube videos on this too.

See if you can all forgo negative taugths about Solar and free energy in general, you will sooner or later render all these people making lives difficult for us all in Nigeria useless positively.

Kindly drop pictures of your built inverter

Does my saying sound like I build inverters?

Seems you have been easily duped by quacks before?
Or what is your aim being sarcastic against my expressed practicall knowledge?

Hard

The same disco but different energy band.
The band differs in the hours of supply.
For example, band A may enjoy 20hrs minimum supply per day and pay 62 naira per kwh.
While Band B enjoys 12hrs minimum supply per day and pay 46 naira per kwh.
It's depends on the band you are on

Batteries is the most important in any solar set up. Go for Germans and American batteries expensive but worth it

if u have the means go for LifePo4 batteries.
