The man spent N1.9 million to install the solar power supply, but he is now free from an electricity tariff increase.

In a post made online by Omolaja Emmanuel who worked on installing the solar system, states that it can can most home appliances.

“We just installed this 2kVA solar inverter system in Osun State in Nigeria. Installed alongside 220AH tubular batteries and 470W solar panels. It is capable of powering: TV, Fan, Freezer, Fridge, Microwave, Bulbs and other gadgets. Total cost of installation: N1,950,000.”

Fox Nigeria spoke to Omolaja and he said the cost of installing the solar system had increased as of May 2.

He said:

“Each solar panel is rated 470W. The system is currently N2,150,000 not N1,950,000. It is capable of power atleast 75% of appliances used in an average home. And with proper energy management, it can power a home daily without the need to use PHCN.

He said the solar system can even charge ell with little sunshine. His words:

“On most days however, it’ll charge well even when there’s rainfall because the solar panels are Monocrystalline and still work very efficiently even when there’s no direct sunshine.”
