Nigerian Solar User Practical Guide: Use It This Way to Save Money and Hassle, Avoid These Pitfalls!
As a native Nigerian, who hasn't suffered from power outages? Merchants in Lagos spend every day guarding diesel generators, and the fuel cost is more worrying than the turnover; rural families have to walk several kilometers to the town to charge their mobile phones; even office workers in Abuja have to keep emergency lights handy when working overtime. Fortunately, solar systems are becoming more and more popular now, and the government has also given zero-tariff preferential policies. Many families and merchants have installed solar energy, and finally can get rid of the days of "looking at the power grid's face".
But many friends around me found that after installing solar energy, either the power generation did not meet expectations, or it broke down after half a year. Some even spent money but couldn't use electricity because they stepped on pitfalls during procurement. In fact, a solar system is not a decoration that "can be left alone after installation". Correct use and avoiding pitfalls in the early stage are equally important. Today, as a local user, I will share the correct use method of solar systems and the key points of avoiding pitfalls throughout the whole process from procurement to operation and maintenance, helping everyone take fewer detours and save more electricity bills!
