According to Amazing Ama, a 3.5kw inverter went for N1.8 million in 2023.

He did not buy it then, and the price has changed significantly in 2024.

At the moment, Ama said that for a 1.5kw inverter setup, he was asked to pay N2.3 million.

“I’m shopping for solar inverter. Seeing 1.5kw setup for 2.3m. My colleague bought 3.5kw last year for 1.8m. Delayed gratification is useless in a country that’s regressing in leaps and bounds.”
