Solar panel installation
Despite using the whole side of the building’s roof for solar panels, many were still installed over the fence.
Seconds in the video, one could see men still perfecting the installation of the solar panels on the fence.
The massive installation got many asking questions. Some wanted to know if the solar panels on the sun would not be shaded and give out reduced energy.
To that, the installer said:
“The sun rises at the East through the South and sets at the west, the shade is just for a couple of hours and by the time the shades sets in the batteries are full for the day boss.”
The installer says the panels on the fence are not shaded.

Solar energy vs national grid
There were some Nigerians who were concerned about the man’s panels trespassing into an adjoining property. The solar expert said the client also owned the land close to the building.
A few Nigerians said the man would never have any business with the national grid, going by the size of the solar setup.

“The solar panel is wrongly placed, another building by the side will affect its overall efficiency due to insufficient sunlight. Day of autonomy will also be low due to the same reason.”

“How can those panels on the fence get enough sunlight I’m seeing another building behind… Anyway good job.”
Man sells solar electricity to neighbours
Meanwhile, TheTalk.NG earlier reported that a Nigerian man who once made the news for selling his solar energy to his neighbour now has a new user plugged into his setup.
The man said that a new tenant who has just arrived at their compound is also feeding from his solar electricity at a fee.
