24/7 Electricity in Nigeria: Man Installs Solar System With N11 Million, it Gives Light For 36 Hours
- A man said he installed a solar system for a client and who won’t have to depend on a public power supply
- The man said the solar electricity cost N11 million to install and that it gives light for 36 hours to those connected to it
- He said he installed the 12kW solar set-up for a 4-bedroom duplex residential building in Lagos as the electricity tariff was increased
A man has shown the solar electricity system he installed for a client who will now enjoy 24/7 light in Nigeria.
The man installed the light as the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) increased the electricity tariff for Band A users.
The solar expert said he was called to install the 12kW solar set-up for a 4-bedroom duplex residential building in Lagos.
He said the solar system he installed could supply electricity throughout the day and could power all home appliances.
He mentioned the home appliances that the solar system could carry to include ACs, refrigerator, freezer, TVs, water pump, lights, washing machine, and microwave.
His words:
“The solar panels, inverter and lithium battery can be scaled to bigger capacities to accommodate more appliances and provide longer backup time as budget affords.”
Many Nigerians who can afford it are turning to solar energy as a source of electricity.
Solar electricity is becoming increasingly popular in Nigeria after NERC increased electricity tariff for Band A users.
A man, Morris Monye spent N6 million to install 20 solar panels and 8 batteries for his personal use after he discovered he would be paying N400k monthly for Band A tariff.
