GeorgeD1: Haha . It's not complex. all those pipes and joints are left after initial machines were added removed etc. Plus I am a lazy plumber sometimes I just leave old pipes in capped instead of replacing the whole circuit It is a normal system but built with redundancies and parallel circuits so I can choose the water source and or the outlet I have a water purifier for drinking water that I built myself. to keep purifier running I need clean water intake. Also, the borehole used to cause stains on taps and especially on the car body and window glass so water softener. The booster to improve pressure as with Security cabin, BQ and gardening in parallel to house sometimes the pressure is too low to be usable except for the pumps the whole setup did not cost more than 30,000 including NRV's, valves, Floats etc but guarantees 24 Hours pure clean water with constant 3 Bar Ultimately all is done with two separate purposes pleasure in building things yourself and life hacking ( improve your life by modifying stuff around you to suit your purpose) 3 Likes |

Good day great and wonderful people. I have a guy that wants to learn solar power installation. He's in Ogbomosho but can come to Ibadan for the training. If you are in Ibadan or Ogbomosho and can offer a one-on-one solar power installation training, please reach me on Call/Whatsapp: 0803-334-3911 so we can discuss this further. Thank you. |

Anyone with a MustPower/PowerStar/Voltron 72V inverter? |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by pranil(m): 10:11am On Jul 18, 2017 |
GeorgeD1: May times but the plumbing headaches stop me from doing so. Now the solar panels are dropping in price I am thinking of converting existing geysers into solar geyser using SolarPV- e.g. One 200 Ltr Solar water heater at 200 K + plumbing upwards is similar to 3 x 300 Watt + one Gyserwise controller - http://www.geyserrobot.co.za/Technical_Details/technical_details.html I will switch off NEPA to Gyserrobot using a Relay based on SOC. So If the SOC is high then Gyser will use the PV Just have to find time during my many projects. Currently trying to automate my projector screen to drop down on voice command from google home 1 Like |

[quote author=tivta post=58575168][/quote] Choemcast Audio oand video both work. I use play store from India so Google music also works . Even if Google music could ot work there are plenty of apps which support googlecast Audio - Personally I use Deezer ( www.Deezer.com) and TuneinRadio along with Pocketcast regularly |

pranil:pranil, plumbing for solar water heating is quite straight forward when you put your mind to it - especially for gravity feed systems like mine. your geyser idea while laudable may meet with several hiccups when put to real world situations. from personal experience it pays to have a dedicated system for solar water heating. reason being that your solar water heater continues to heat up your water regardless of whether it is a cloudy day or not. however, with your geyser idea, on the same cloudy day, unless you massively oversize your solar panels, your battery bank will struggle to get enough juice and there may be no excess power available to divert to water heating. |

IRON for your Solar Setup ================== Am sure there will be some guys in here who are still looking for a low power and efficient iron for cloth. Let me share with you those that I have used before. Please note that It is NOT a solar iron because it uses electricity. 1. Kenwood discovery Duo. The power rating is between 600 - 700 Watts. Been using this for close to 6 years. It is nice and do the ironing job well. 2. Philips Diva. Bought this recently in GAME (shoprite). The power rating is 1200 Watts. But my amp meter reported 978 Watts. it is good, cute with a surface larger than the Kenwood Duo. Very efficient and the thermostat is super. So if you need an iron to use on your solar setup, you can check online and pick one. Please note that I don't sell iron ooo. Just sharing information. 4 Likes

Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by SolnergyPower: 12:53pm On Jul 19, 2017 |
Those wattages are still very high. We should be looking for something in the neighbourhood of 100W. Thanks for sharing though. babaegun: |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by Saipro(m): 1:06pm On Jul 19, 2017 |
SolnergyPower: That would be ideal but painfully, most irons are rated at 1,500W or over. A lot of them are 1,800W and beyond if they're steam irons. Mine is a Philips too and is rated 1,000W; I checked just now and I discovered it kicks in at 708W. I don't think one would find an iron at 100W. It would take too long to heat up and the the thermostat might never go off when in use. 2 Likes |
Re: Solar Energy, A Complement To FTA by babaegun(m): 1:19pm On Jul 19, 2017 |
SolnergyPower: @SolnergyPower I've not see any within that 100W range. Maybe some guys in-house will still share better ones with us soon. |

GeorgeD1: Yes but in my particular case I have 5.6 Kwp installed with house load of just 500 watt during normal school days except washing machine for one hour. Since I am in rented House it is easier for me to relocate the PV panels and Gyserwise than to rearrange plumbing. Also Gyserwise fits with my main design principle. When the grid is available to use the grid as far as possible. At current 24 NGN /Unit Grid power is still cheapest per unit of energy in Nigeria. if the situation changes we shall see The other option I was thinking of was to use PVT panels ( hybrid panels) where solar PV is combined with EV tubes Uptil now I did not find them in Nigeria market. http://www.staffordarea.saveyourenergy.org.uk/what/solar/Solar%20PVT%20hybrid%20panels http://www.eesy.uk.com/services/micro_03_PVT/index.htm https://www.alibaba.com/showroom/pvt-hybrid-solar-panel.html 1 Like |
