You are right EgunMogaji, I was horrified to read his intention to leave us and I knelt down and begged him to stay. I am happy he accepted. Hajj Mufutau is a man I dream to meet one day in the near future. He is just full of wisdom.

No just worry yourself. Once Hajji wants to open that his 'poor' man's mansion, no be only am go open and chop the rice alone. Iam ready to start fasting and taking purgatory 3 months before the time.

EgunMogaji:


Apology soundly accepted Sir but it was all in a joke anyways grin

Listen, you and others on here motivated me and this is why I try to motivate others too. I thought I had to retire first and move to Nigeria before I can build (buying an already completed house is out of the equation for me due to my taste and needs). But seeing all you guys on here doing your builds gave me the confidence that I didn't have to wait for retirement before I build.

In your defense though all you saw was my little chicken padlock that sits next to the main house grin

Good decision. I have always believe that you do not have to retire first before building your retirement home. I have already built mine in the village and i still have sometime to retire. My Sister-in-law and her husband in the US have already built theirs in the village. They are presently in the village from the US on a month long vacation with their kids and the kids are just running all over the place enjoying themselves with fresh and cool breeze.

The above is Moses Adebayo's current. according to his sales rep. You could still try some other distributors tho, you MIGHT be able to knock off sm change.

By the way, any specific reason for your choice of Nigerchin over COLEMAN ?
Can you post the current price of Coleman too, I believe one may get better price if buy direct from their Company.

I do not think you will have any major challenge since you intend to generate your power locally and since you intend to source your electronics and appliances from the States.

110v power supply to 110v appliances. No wahala

Combining 2 * 110v to make 220v is not that straightforward:

1. If you use two wires from the same pole you get zero volts differential, not 220 volts, since they are in phase
2. if you use two wires from different phases, you might end up with 208v (addition of vectors) if it's a 3-phase panel.
3. If you have a fault that trips one circuit breaker and you were to unplug the cord to troubleshoot, the male pins of that cord would be live with the other leg's 110 volts. That's a serious hazard to watch against.

Again, you need to consider the impact of frequency. 110v usually operates at 60Hz. 220v operates at 50Hz. 220v at 60Hz may not be a good combination for the appliance

My advice is for you to do an end to end 110v and just forgo the idea of combining two 110v to get 220v.

Again, if not for the epileptic public main supply, the idea of a private 100% solar power isn't cheap at all.

Good topic for discussion though.


The joining legs to make 220v is how we do it here and there's no issue at all. I can't explain why it works that way.

Even in countries with 100% electricity from the grid, some folks are going completely off grid. I'm on the ecological side of things.

Thanks.

PS: I thought about this some more. There are bigger breakers meant to take 2 legs and have one fuse. And when you use two individual switches you'll join the fuses together so that if one fuse breaks it takes the other with it.

Trust me that there's a strigeng inspection process here.

The prices posted by oga spyder were the prevailing rates. Give or take a few hundred ,

And no serious company will retail to you at a price cheaper than what you normally should obtain from thier distributor, that would be sabotage .
