I had the opportunity of talking to three Nigerians who lost millions in both #FTT#FTX and Luna crashes that happened this year.
I'm humbled that they would share their experiences with me. Forever grateful.

I don't blame landlords too. I think installers need carpentry knowledge or get carpenters to go with them to sites. An installer messed my roof up badly this way.
I honestly won’t blame landlords that refuse people from installing solar panels on their roofs anymore, because a lot of these solar installers don’t even know how to walk on rooftops.
My friend stays upstairs in a storey building and their tenant downstairs just installed solar. Now one whole side of the roof is leaking badly because of the installation.
They will be spending about a million naira to fix it and the tenant is just quiet 🙄
I honestly don’t like misleading opinions like this. Y’all need to know you’re not knowledgeable in every subject matter.
FYI, we are the ones on the field and I can tell you for free that EV owners in Nigeria don’t think about “epileptic” power supply when they decided to add an EV or EVs to their mix. Same thing with commercial businesses that owns fleets of EVs.
If you can afford an EV, power to charge won’t be the problem.
And this is not like CNG!
The funny thing about this #Starlink downtime is that it only loads pages selectively. While X is going now, other pages like Slack are not.
This is waking up past network trauma for me. Escaping that is why anyone would spend much on Starlink anyway.
Learn energy audit.
Learn PV sizing.
Learn load management.
Aje, you will be fine even if it rains daily.
My PV is at least 10 times bigger than my daily loads. Let May, June, July, August, September and October come.
In short, get proper solar education.
My area is able more stable but average sometimes drops to less than 160v which is not idea for most appliances we use. One of the biggest killer of home appliances is actually the Grid. This is why a consumer unit has to have an SPD installed. It does more than just protect against lightning.
Industrial users are more critical to grid stability than people think. They provide steady, predictable demand year round, unlike residential usage which fluctuates with seasons.
That consistency helps generators plan and stabilize supply.
But more industries are moving off-grid to self-generate, removing that stable demand and making an already fragile grid even harder to balance.
Sigh
No 1: the grid doesn’t charges solar faster. You don’t charge solar, you charge the batteries.
No2: The reason it behaves that way is simple: once that power source is available, your inverter will draw as much as it can from it.
The catch is, if it’s grid power and it’s readily available, it can also burn through your energy units very quickly.
Same with solar PV: if your rooftop system can supply 5.4 kWp, that’s the maximum available capacity at that moment. The inverter can only draw from what exists.
It won’t pull more than that.
It all comes down to capacity.
