Boss if you are having doubting mind about the transactions you can pause a bit until you have a green light.. I have never in my life collect money for cables and fail to deliver.. If you are in Lagos I can do pay on delivery.. I have people owing me here but I will continue praying for them to pay my balance..
My chief, I never had dealings with you before, this is Nigeria, it is good to ask questions.

Good evening builders in the house. I've been following for some times now and please I want to ask;

Is FOUNDATION BEAM necessary/compulsory when building a duplex? Though German floor will be done. And would there be any effects on the long run if the beam is not done but only the German floor.

Pardon my ignorance abeg na money matter I de consider. Thank you

Hi all , I have a structural drawing and a bill of quantity that suggested using laterite for filling but my engineer said they often use sharp sand in the Simawa area ( in Ogun State) as the soil on the site is soft plaster sand and prone to shifting. The sharp sand improves its stability.

Please show true is this because 20 tonnes of sharp sand is quoted at 170k while laterite is quoted at 70k. Kindly advise

Good evening Sir,

It is good you asked.



The artisan you enquired about is well known here and has a good reputation to deliver as, whatsoever, agreed. He has a very good reputation so you can proceed.

Once again, you did well to ask to avoid stories.


Well done Sir.

Hi Boss, how has the panasonic inverter been serving you. Between it & the inverter hisense, which do you feel is better (cools well).

Do you mind sharing if disposed, the model of the inverter panasonic ac?
Both are good but Panasonic is better and more expensive, its been serving me for 3 years plus without any issue. When I can't afford to buy more Panasonic that's when I go for Hisense. It's cooling as well but Panasonic cools faster. Sorry, I can't find the model. It's been 3 years plus.

Yes, Twinkenny is worth marketing. I have no obligation to post my stuff here due to my privacy, if you really knew who I was on this platform in the last 15 years. You can see for yourself, he does at least one new solar installation a week and everything is being posted here. If you're his competitor you have the liberty to post your new installation here as well on a weekly bases.

Is the area waterlogged?
If it is, there's a particular type of laterite that you can use. It's cheaper than sharp sand.
If it's dry solid ground normal laterite is okay.
Also make sure your oversite concrete floor is at least 175 - 200mm thick and properly Reinforced for the first instance.

post videos boss, everyone i knew that did it later regretted. It couldn’t power none of the ac up to 1hr

I came upon this post and it makes me kinda sad. Whoever posted this has obviously been duped by quarks and he is now projecting his experience everywhere. Before I proceed let it be known that I am not an installer neither do I do solar installation commercially.. I don't take jobs so I am not here for business. I am here just to share my experience on the viability of solar as an alternative and how economical it is.

Who am I, and what are my creds. I am an off-grid solar enthusiast and someone who have been using solar since 2016.. I have been completely off the nigerian grid since 2018 and I continue to live off-grid today. I setup my own system DIY and I also contribute a lot in terms of advocacy education and enlightenment on how we can improve the general standard and quality of installation and solar equipment available in Nigeria.

I run a Telegram group called "DIY Solar Nigeria" which has grown to over 6000 members. The group is focused on sharing experience and peer to peer support for Nigerians into solar or about to get into solar. We educate ourselves on best practices, resolve issues, share information on authorized dealers on solar product etc.

Like I said currently power my house completely on solar. I have a 10kW solar array, 10kva inverter and a 28kWh Lithium battery.

This system powers everything in the house. including 2 AC (1 can run for 12 hours and the other can run 24 hours) I also have vaccum, air fryer, 250 liter freezer 220 liter fridge (both of which are always run), I have a 1.5hp water pump, microwave and a home computer lab with over 15 mostly low power computers including a home automation cctv and media system + 2 65 inch TV and a host of other home appliances.

I have been growing my system little by little since 2016.. you can check my post history.

So yes, with the current state of things as at 2025, you can have a solar setup that would power all your house needs at least have 1 or 2 ACs especially if their are inverter ACs,

The biggest challenge is finding a competent installer who would do a competent system for you.

The hardest part of solar is design (it is not different from construction in that regards) once you start with a good design to match usage.. then you are off to a good start.

Here are some solar schematics I have worked on which you can use as reference for your own setup


Oga solar
Although I call it Oga solar, this is actually a slightly above mid sized system which should power 1 inverter AC run at least 12 hours a day especially when used with grid. It would be a very good generator replacement. I have indicated the average power that can be put on such a system in a daily basis. https://solarplan-l.openculture.org.ng/?ref=blog.openculture.org.ng

hansolo design is a more scaled down version oga solar and it is ideal for small house hold say 2 bed room apartment but can power 1 inverter AC over night https://solarplan-m.openculture.org.ng/?ref=blog.openculture.org.ng

here is a video were I installed a solar setup from scratch using the hansolo design.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=blDPy4pUPYY

Again I did not come here to promote any business and I don't take jobs. I came to share my own experience on solar and dispel FUDs about solar.
