Paying for Electricity Using Stable coin.(USDT, DAI, xDAI, USDC,… etc) . Monitoring, financing, Managing, Trading Solar micro-grids powered through Blockchain. The team Engineered a Hardware Meter just for these purposes. 30pc Stock in Assembly… #jointheMOVEMENTtoday

Asides capital required for electrification, transparency is required within the value chain. Blockchain is immutable, utility payments that pass through our meters are traceable. No middleman collection...the core problem has always been transparency

14+ days, no single supply from the grid. If I was buying 10 litres daily (1300/l) just to get about 10 hours of light for these 14 days, that is already 182k in just 2 weeks.

That is one way of looking at it. Another way is that solar would shed loads of the grid, allowing it to focus more on a smaller market( hopefully reducing stress and increasing uptime).

Entitlement comes more easily than we think. I was traveling on Friday, and my car's air conditioning started acting up in Tema traffic. Luckily, there was an AC guy on that stretch, and I stopped for him to take a look. He took out the filter, cleaned it, topped up the gas, and everything was fine. When I asked him what he wanted, he quoted an outrageous amount because he saw the car and my gadgets. I did the same for a smaller car last year, and it was much cheaper. I opened my MoMo wallet and showed him all I had. I would have had to borrow money to pay him, and I was traveling. He realized at that moment that he couldn't extort me and agreed to a lower and more reasonable amount. As I left, I wondered why he felt entitled to more, since he believed I had more to give, and realized I was guilty of the same thing. I have a client on a quarterly retainer. He approached me; I didn't approach him, and we worked together for a few quarters, for which he was very grateful. He is now doing very well and has missed a few meetings, all paid in advance. I initially thought of charging more, since he was now making more, but stopped myself when I realized it was entitlement. Thinking that I was the reason for his success and looking for more is entitlement. If his success brings more work my way, I can charge more. I shouldn't charge just because he is making more. Pricing for services is a nebulous area when there are no baselines and measurement standards. It is easier when you create standards and stick with them. I have done advisory work on percentages and on time. It is funny that the work I did on a time basis provided much more value to the clients, yet I still had to maintain my standards. When there are standards, the risk of feeling entitled is greatly diminished. The customer knows what they are paying for, and you know what to expect in payment. Getting them to come back means going above and beyond their expectations. This is why I have a 98% repeat booking rate for consultations. The other 2% I am still trying to win back again without feeling entitled.

For the past few years, we have been building a smart meter at @whyNotSwitch that allows solar RWAs to have a play in this. Last year we onboarded > 20 solar projects in Nigeria onchain. watch this space in the coming weeks.

As the largest RWA market on Ethereum, Horizon offers a unique opportunity for integrators to enable stablecoin lending against traditional assets directly onchain, while providing instant liquidity for borrowers. No waiting. No barriers. Just liquidity.

@ajanilinks @lifeofdanel How would you tell with the meter... Do you mean under load?

Very important. Most at times that 10Kva inverter you bought might be a 7.5 repackaged and sold to you as 10Kva Inverter. Here’s a hack, find a meter and take readings of its output👍

Let's explore with the Dgen1 🌝🎉 @FreedomFactory

Hardware Industry in 9ja is Growing 🔥 Congratulations to @Terrahaptix

@misterezeh @MentusNnaemeka @Nobsdaslushhkid @OfficialBenKalu True true ... Because in actual use case...a 10kva inverter wouldn't power a 10kw load... Solar systems should be rated in KVA whenever refering to the inverter capacity... The importance can't be stressed enough 🤔

@GDEE__ @MentusNnaemeka @Nobsdaslushhkid @OfficialBenKalu It’s rated with an ideal power factor of 0.8, as with other power systems to account for losses due to impedance and other factors. This doesn’t make it the standard. The solar panels are rated in watts cos it’s DC but the inverters themselves are not.

For those wondering, Uncle @OfficialBenKalu has been in government since 2002. Hon. Benjamin Okezie Kalu first held public office as Local Government Chairman (Transition) of Bende Local Government . Yesterday , he commissioned a 1000KVA solar project after 23 years.

@misterezeh @MentusNnaemeka @Nobsdaslushhkid @OfficialBenKalu Great comment I've widely seen solar system references in the kws not KVA...even minigrids... I feel it's cause less load characteristics plays out as compared to the national grid ...thus the impedance effect is far less... 🤔 Interesting topic

@MentusNnaemeka @Nobsdaslushhkid @OfficialBenKalu While you might be spot on with other things you say, rating Solar power in Watts isn’t really right as it depends on the type of load connected to it and the inductance of the transmission lines. That being said, it’s still okay to use the apparent power in KVA

The new trailer for the ‘Game of Thrones’ prequel ‘A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS’ has been released. Premiering January 18 on HBO.

Started GOT from scratch By the time I'm done This would be next ✨

I love Solar power 🌅

I need to reflect, and document things I learnt this year from a business POV.

- Learn the business, it's as important as the design - Lasting systems were designed with precision and executed with care, don't cut corners - Engineers love beer 🍺🍻😂😂😂 - Be capable of improvising, 60% chance you'll modify designs while deploying - Document again 😭😭

To practically understand small and Medium scale solar grids, this year was dedicated to field grinding. 60% of the work was documentation and design. 40% was project supervision and field work. You see that 40%... My God...🫠🫠 All in all, experience gained.
