LG Dual Inverters are excellent, and I hear Thermocool GenPal is even better.

Hisense, well idk. They're apparently not great. I'll test mine and post results later.

Is LG dual inverter different from LG smart inverter? I got the latter and it seems that the consumption only drops to around 850w after working for about 5 hours after the room temp has reached like 25 degrees. The setpoint on the remote is the lowest (16 degrees). The ramp up consumption when it starts is around 1015w

I also read in the manual that some model has "energy saving" mode, but it seems I can't find that option in this model of mine.

I hope I havent gotten the wrong model for use on solar set up.

Do you have the "gen mode" on your remote?

Yes. Attached is the picture of the remote.

Xanderone: 7:24pm On May 17, 2024
Also this is all I read in the manual about the Gen mode. So it doesn't seem tk be something remotely connected with energy saving mode to me. It looks like something to do with drop in voltage associated with generator when many loads are placed on it.

So since I don't use Gen, but solar, I haven't even tried working with that "Gen mode" button yet grin As in I haven't pressed that button at all.

I have a tuya energy monitor/switch inline with the AC, so I'm able to monitor its consumption in-app.

Toyota BZ 4X full electric with 400km range.... 71Kwh battery.the car is Already in abuja with customs fully paid. Seven units available going for 90million each..... Stack up your solar my brethren...

The car is manufactured for Toyota America. Funny thing is that the battery inside this stuff is Lithium Iron, likely supplied by Panasonic. Europe and North America have traditionally stuck with Li-ion in their BEVs while Asia (especially China) have moved on to LifePo4. Tesla has also moved most of its BEVs to the LifePO4 platform but retains the Li-ion platform for the performance lines of Tesla BEVs (eg the Tesla roadster).

China has done extended R&grin on LFP to the extent of BYD blade batteries being touted as not inflammable if punctured.

Having said that, the way Tinubu is going with his policies, I fear he may be fully keying into the WEF's agenda of You Will Own Nothing And You Will be Happy, viz:

° Stifle the citizen financially and later initiate the Universal Basic Income (UBI) in which everyone is paid just an equal stipend to stay alive.

° PMS out of reach will encourage switch to BEVs. Then you can begin to pay for monthly subscriptions to use certain essential features in your BEV

° Paper money getting out of reach, hence forcing citizens to switch to CBDCs, (E-naira) in Nigeria's case and then the government gets to monitor your every transaction and can decide to freeze your money if you're found to be too outspoken against the government, similar to what Justin Trudeau did to the Canadian truck drivers' protest of 2022. Recall that both Justin Trudeau and Emmanuel Macron are known WEF protegees.

° Bank recapitalisation which can cause bank runs, make some banks go under or acquired by stronger ones, hence our banks reduce in number and you're left with fewer choices of banks to transact with. The CBN is already trying to make moves for banks to recapitalize.

° Nigeria govt is making moves to introduce GM seeds to our farmers. These seeds are not researched by Nigerian research institutes but by foreigners. These seeds will completely replace the natural seeds we've been used to, and as a farmer you can't harvest the seeds with the aim of replanting it the next planting season cos it has been engineered not to have cotyledon or radicle which are required for seed germination. So you're left with yearly/seasonal seed purchase/subscription from the suppliers. There is a Hollywood movie (can't recall the name at the moment) that has subliminally ed this message.

I hope Tinubu won't offer bugs or 3d printed foods for us to eat same way bugs (which are termed protein based meal) are being fed to some public school students in Australia.

I hope African leaders will just leave these Òyìnbó guys alone and let them face their business of self destruction, and leave us alone in Africa to develop ourselves in a trajectory that we can manage.

So much conspiracy theories, you'd assume. But I oftentimes prefer to call "conspiracy theorists" critical thinkers cos a lot of "conspiracy theories" of yesteryears have turned out to be true.

Gen Mode cuts down on power consumption by like 30%

Cooling is reduced too, but it's an acceptable trade-off.

Mhmmm...I would suggest you use the gen mode and see the power consumption,now LG saying "gen mode" is another way of saying if you have limited supply of light which solar is.... depending on your set-up 😁.

I had an issue where my 2.5kva inverter couldn't properly start my 1hp dual inverter AC...the only option I'm thinking of now is using the gen mode on the AC till I upgrade my solar setup. Would have tested this gen mode but I'm yet to replace my spoilt remote.

Update me since you have your remote 😁

Thanks for the heads up. I've turned it off though as the sun wasnt up enough to charge the pack to full. So maybe the sun will smile on us tomorrow. I'll try it out.

I've eCool Ox Solar ceiling fan for sale @ 40k with the power consumption range of 12w to 30w. The lowest speed of 12w is what I always use.
I've another type @ 33k with the lowest speed of 12w and highest speed of 30w.
I've another one of plastic blades @ 27k with the lowest speed of 10w and highest speed of 27w. I made use of the lowest speed everytime.
All of them came with the remote control.

You definitely did get the wrong model, Please get LG Dual Inverter GenCool B

LG Smart Inverter has about 50%-60% Energy Saving while LG Dual Inverter has 70% and LG Dual Inverter GenCool B has even more than 70% and can retain the Gen Mode memory after power loss. That's a function we upvoted to have over the years.

Damn! So now I know that I've really fv_cked up. The only thing I can do now is probably sell that one to get the right one. Cos it's only less than a week ago that I got it. I don't think rushing to get another 470k worth of an AC is for me financially reasonable at the moment. If I have 470k to spare right now, it will definitely be routed to further upgrade of my solar system rather than some overwhelming urge to get cooled inside the room.

And to even think that people have generally been a little more financially down to say they have some cash lying around to quickly buy a used AC, of all things.

I'm so pained.

I've taken a screenshot of your comment. I must not make that stupeeed error again.

No point getting a new AC. Not a wise use of money imo, spend that in expanding your PV array instead so at least you'll be covered in the afternoon.
