- The man, Morris Monye spent N6 million for the solar installation, noting that his power bill increased due to Band A tariff
- Morris said using solar, he discovered that a microwave consumes more power than a 1.5 horse power air conditioner
A Nigerian man who installed solar electricity for his personal use has shared the discover he made.
The man, Morris Monye had said on X that he had to install the solar after electricity tariff was increased for Band A users.
He said he spent a total of N6 million to install eight solar batteries and 20 solar panels to generate his own electricity.
Days after he started using the solar system, Morris has said he found out that microwave has more power that a 1.5hp air conditioner.
Morris wrote on X:
“With solar, I’ve learnt that microwave has more power than a 1.5hp AC. Maybe your units finish quicker when you over-use your microwave.”
When asked the type of solar batteries that he is using, Morris said he combines lithium batteries and one other.
His words:
“Combination of two types. Lithium and the other one that uses water. I power every single thing in the house without PHCN. AC, freezer, all are on. Although at night, the AC length reduces. Daytime, it’s non-stop.”

Lady spends millions to install solar at home
Meanwhile, a Nigerian lady said she and her family got tired of spending money on fuel for their generator, so they sought an alternative.
The lady said they installed a solar electricity system in their house, and then it cost millions to buy inverters and solar panels.
However, they are now reaping the benefits because she noted that they no longer depend on the grid electricity supply.
