FastShipping: I really dont think you've been advised properly. There are a lot of inverters that can handle such loads. The only matter is that the setup cost will be very high which is still comparable to running cost of the traditional diesel generators. A 40kva generator will carry the same load as a 40kva inverter system, the difference is that there will be a specific backup time with the inverter while diesel gives you the expensive flexibility of buying fuel to extend its backup time. If you have the money to do a proper hybrid (solar/grid-tie) backup system, it is far more preferable and convenient. Besides, with the inverter, you can plan your load demanding appliances to be solar products. There are solar refrigerators, deep freezers, water pumps etc that can cut their power demands in half. An LED tv will save you up to 50% power that a Plasma TV would consume. Also, in designing an inverter system, it is not expected that all loads will be on at the same time. Take for instance the Microwave oven, how many hours in a day will it be required? Cumulatively, hardly an hour of 24. An inverter system needs a diligent user who will be strict on power saving. An inverter system guarantees you TV viewing time, cold refrigerator or freezers, lighting even in the dead of the night, decent sleep with fan and still friendly to your pocket. You have the option of connecting only chosen loads to inverter and the rest of the loads remain on grid or gen. If there are 14 AC's in the house, you definitely sleep in one room with 1 AC, its a choice to limit the AC's on the inverter. Imagine running out of diesel or servicing at every 200hrs. You may spend like 6k every day depending on grid supply and loading plus 20k service as early as every 8 days if running gen 24/7. Ask those who relied on generators how their lives changed after turning green, I am a witness. My small gen is covered in dust and cobwebs. 2 Likes |

adanny01:adanny01, Thanks for this insightful explanation. Since we have included solar system in this discussion, could you or anyone here give us an approximate estimate of what it can cost someone to have a complete solar system that will comfortably handle these items in a 3 bedroom bungalow. How many solar panel/battery etc. 1. 5 security fence lights (regular energy saving white bulbs) 2. 1 or 2 light bulbs inside the house at same time to save energy) 3. One Television (40 inch flat screen) 4. 1 hp AC or two fans as alternative. 5. Standard Fridge that has small top freezer. 6. Moderate Stereo system. Should I be looking at 1 million, 2 million higher or lesser?. Could you share your experience so far. Once again, thanks for the info. |

FastShipping:I am glad you had a rethink follow addanys post. If you observe my previous posts, I currently run a 5kva inverter with a battery bank capable of storing 21600WH. My solar panel size is 4kw and shall be extended to 5kw in few months. I av been living off NEPA for quite some time now. For you to make better decisions, Pls visit the solar fta thread.

abunafiu:In the Nigerian context see fru fence might not be a good idea with the current state of security i n the country, we are not there yet, but if you are building in a gated community ie Estate why not.But waht are teh benefits? cos if you house is not a bungalow you can always see whats happening at street level from the balcony upstairs. |

FastShipping: Permit me to quote you on this, please! Nice to be back on this FORUM, at this particular time. Merry Xmas in advance to everyone, may "everything colourful" never leave the life of those who appreciate it. I was banned for two months! Just for answering back at those who are insulting me! The ban just expired yesterday. @FastShipping: We've always said the same thing, which is what this person did: if you are scammed by Brabus, gather your evidence and take him to COURT. This is what sensible people do. If this person did not muster the courage to take him to court, how will all these people be jubilating now, be able to do so? If everyone did as they were doing, (just whining on Nairaland), how will the scam ever end? I give absolute CREDIT to that man who took him to court. I hope others will take a cue from it. Its not by how much noise you make or the attack you make on a faceless forum, that will get you JUSTICE, it is for you to man-up and approach the authorities. But then, l understand that a "guilty conscience or an unclean hand" cannot go to court like this man because the Court/Lawyers might start looking into your own source of finances and when push become "shove", unpleasant things might arise! ![]() ![]() I hope all those who have been crying on this thread can now get Justice by also filing their case (it can all be heard consecutively!) with this one, on Dec 15? Please grab this opportunity. It is what we have been telling you since day one. I want to thank those who went to lobby the Moderator (especially the elderly one among them), to ban me, even when they come on here to ask: Where is Lastpage! Such is the hypocrisy of these vile beings. I hope the Court comes to a swift Verdict soon. Everyday for the thief, one day for the owner. - Yoruba adage 7 Likes |

I was banned, that was why l was not here. (see attached snap taken a week or so after) [b] *Brabus is not Jesus so the idea of denying him is simply stoopid! *He has not even attempted to defraud me or build for me, so l dont have any PERSONAL GRUDGE against him or anyone here. *I am not his Lawyer, so again, l am not in a position to defend him IN COURT. *I am not a Builder, not s Supplier and have never taken a penny from ANYONE so, your "accusations mean NOTHING" to me. Now, we are seeing a separation between "Real Men" and "Cry Babies/Yahoo-hustlers". Real Men are able to show their face, GO TO COURT and prosecute anyone that defrauds them. Cry Babies, Boys hustlers/Yahoo Boys on the other hand, just cry on Nairaland and expect everyone to cry with them! They cant exercise their "free right" to prosecute in court because they knw that they themselves are Criminals. This Man has done what we have been advising since day one: get him arrested and prosecuted in court. Simple Enough!! I know plain ignorance will not allow some of you to see reason, you like this kid's stuff of abusing an anonymous person and derailing the thread. Brabus is a grown "adult" and will be held responsible for whatever he does... and he will defend himself. No Biggy Now, l have no business with all of you cry-babies, criminals and Yahoo Boys. Mind your won business and leave me alone. Just come back and tell us you have filed a case against Brabus.... instead of developing BP or masturbating over Lastpage's handle!

Truthinlife: To properly design a solar back up system, one needs a lot of info from the client. The design is a hypothetical process but the equipment quality is key to achieving the design. If i were to make the plan for you, i would need to know the average grid supply time in your location. I also need to know your geographical location to estimate the amount of sun rays as this is not same every where. The client also has to provide the least back up time he expects, some want 12hrs others 24, 48hrs etc. The load description has to be more detailed such as LED TV, LCD Tv, Plasma TV or cathode ray - LED being the least power saving and cathode ray the worst. A 40" LED could consume as little as 50w while a 40" plasma as bad as 200w. So it makes a difference to know the specifics. Ultimately, your budget needs to be put in mind during the design. A solar back up system is like a desert trip, you have to properly estimate the quantity of water to carry. Too much, and you have yourself a deadly burden, too little and your life is at risk. When you get stuck in the desert, you manage your resources. With the current rate of equipment, N1million wont give you a system that you will be comfortable with AC and fridge together. So with 1m forget the AC, 2m is workable but 3m is convenient. The more M's the better. The basics for design is choosing an inverter/charger and the number and types of battery. Every thing boils down to 2 things, back up time and charging time. 3 Likes |

lastpage: This could have been written by me. If Brabus has defrauded anyone here, then go to the authority and let the law enforcement deal with him like they are doing now. It is absurd for anyone to start giving themselves high fives when you had no hands in how Brabus was arrested, detained and now being prosecuted for his crime. I have been hearing here with some saying brabus supporters are here. Where, how and when has anyone supported brabus on this forum? How and when is advising these guys to take brabus to court become being brabus supporter? I keep wondering how people who suppose to be grown ups behave like kids here. It is shameful and foolish to label anyone who advises you to take brabus to court as "brabus supporter". No one needs to fight anyone's battle here. Some people even said here that if we all came together to condemn brabus, he wouldn't have continued to defraud people. What a laughable thing to say because we all did exactly that and condemned brabus. What many of us didn't do was to fight your battle by coming here daily to sing same song. It gets boring after doing it few times. Seun and lawyer were in better position to curb brabu's excesses here but they didn't care. If you're defrauded, go to the police and report. If you can't do that, why not go the old route and settle it with a slug fest? It's high time we moved on from Brabus saga and start having meaningful discussion here. The kiddie behavior needs to stop. N.B If you can't take him to the authority and eventually to court, continue singing brabus name here. Nonsense. 7 Likes |

3strikes: You can say whatever you want to say, I don't fvcking care. You have no idea about my feeling. Do you? I wonder how you know how I feel about Brabus arrest. Stop mentioning my handle please Mr feeling tracker. I didn't know I was expected to get a band group to sing and drum for me to dance in the street because Brabus was arrested and now being prosecuted for his crime. I'm guessing you must have been singing and dancing in the street since the news broke that Brabus was finally arrested for his crime. I never knew we were expected to dance and celebrate in the street. You should channel your anger towards Seun and Lawyer who refused to put a sticker thread on top page warning people of Brabu's fraudulent activities. Don't get angry if people choose not to fight your battle. Life doesn't work that way for all of us. There is reason why we have the law enforcement and judiciary. Those units are there for reason like this. Who the hell is brabus? What is my own about his life and his shoddy life? I am not here to fight anybody's battle or support or oppose anyone. I don't care what anyone thinks. People who know their rights and what to do took the case to the authority and now dealing with him. Those are the people that we should give applause to for doing the right thing. They never complained to anyone. They went to the legal route and dealt with Brabus. So those who now giving themselves high fives here should just hide their head in shame because they had the opportunity to report Brabus to the police and for his eventual prosecution but they did not. I believe those people who reported Brabus to the authority knew Brabus from nairaland like all of us. They never came here to complain to anyone. They went to the authority to lodge formal complaint against Brabus who has defrauded them of their money. Those are people who know the right thing to do. People who know the law and have nothing to hide and didn't come online and say the same thing online 7 days a week or 30 days a month. If people he defrauded long time ago had done the same a year ago, Brabus would have been behind bars. So don't blame anyone for what brabus did to any of his victims if they only condemned Brabu's fraudulent activities and left it at that. If you are defrauded, report to the authority. But no one here should expect anyone to fight his or her battle. It is as simple as that. 5 Likes 1 Share |

kolnel: How does court operate in Nigeria? Brabus has been arrested, detained and being prosecuted for his crime in the same Nigerian court that some of you always tell us you can't get justice. Brabus case is now with a judge in Nigerian court. That is how things suppose to work in our society. Are you saying the process that finally took Brabus away and now going through criminal justice process is not legit to you? ![]() Orisirisi ![]() Judicial process is never fast. It is a slow process everywhere and can be frustrating sometimes. Court cases don't get adjudicated in 48 hours. It takes 3 - 24 months. It is a long time to wait but the day you get the justice is when you appreciate judicial process. There is reason for that. I majored in Criminology and I know what it takes. I once took someone to court in NJ that I had to travel to New Jersey court four times in nine months. But I eventually got justice. That's what justice is about. Brabus should have been reported to the authority long time ago. I refuse to listen to the notion that our courts won't allow them to get justice. But Brabus is now behind bars waiting for trial and eventual jail time. This is how democratic society works. Kudos to those brave men and women who finally went to the authority and report Brabu's fraudulent activities. If those people had come here to to complain everyday without going to the authority, Brabus would have been here still looking for more victims. 3 Likes |
