The MTN Mobile Electricity kit consists of a few components, namely:

80W Solar Panel unit with Cables

300Wh Lumos Solar Home System In-door Unit

USB Mobile Phone Charger

2 x LED Energy Efficient Bulbs
DC to AC converter

Easy Self-Installation Mounting Kit

How MTN Mobile Electricity works:

The 80W solar panel is mounted on the roof or on a pole outside to collect solar energy from the Sun and charge the built-in battery in the Lumos in-door unit. It takes about 6-hours of sunlight to fully charge the built-in battery. Once fully charged, the system can supply several hours of electricity with length of supply dependent on the amount of load.

However, MTN Mobile Electricity is Pay as you Go. The Lumos Solar Home system is locked until you pay to access the electricity stored in the built-in battery. The indoor unit is connected to the MTN network and gives you access to the stored energy only if you have paid.

60 watts? Can that even carry a plasma TV? Me that have about 4 TV's in the house

Not entirely. You get to stay in the light. As in bulb to see

You also get to cool yourself, charge + it good for business i.e grocery shop, hair stylist, barber etc.

It's also economical, let's say a barber for instance used at least 5 litters of fuel a day, in a month, you will be talking about N21,750 And yellow box courtesy of MTN is offering N40 something in a year.

I think it's cool for those whose business needs steady current but not much of heavy power gadget.

Nonsense service!

Wiseandtrue:

the converter can only supply 60W max.

that's just 1 incandescent build ?

This doesn't make sense. Where on earth do people pay for solar energy on pay as you go basis? This is totally rubbish, MTN take away your greed to elsewhere, you can not charge us for using sun light. Solar energy is free from God and you can't mandate us to pay for it.

The only cost involved is solar energy is only initial cost of equipment and periodic maintenance

the more annoying part is forcing us to use it for continuous 20 days else it locks up!

MTN IS either TOO GREEDY or doesn't understand our needs and so tries to treat us with rubbish insults - they are in too much hurry to recover the useless equipment cost, since sunlight is free.
imagine one cannot travel because of a box or more like because MTN must make money from us.

I have been using it for over 1300 days now. I will soon be done with paying N4700 per month when I clock 1500 days.
So far so good, at least I can watch 24- inch tv, charge phones/laptop, and power two energy-efficient fans(batteries removed) and 2 bulbs. On full charge my fans work throughout the night.
The point that OP didn't mention is that it has 5- year warranty from date of purchase. In fact my first box had technical issues after 2 years and was replaced free of charge with a new and updated box.
If your power need is within 60 watts, you wont regret buying it. The parts are made of superior, high quality materials compared to the chinco being advertised at cheaper prices.
Note: I am not a marketer, in fact not a fan of mtn.

is it not better to buy solar panels, an inverter and a big battery and install it , this does not need and monthly payments, mtn should not see nigerians as their mugus abeg , if is it a nigerian company that is doing this in south africa I am sure those people will start killing nigerians on allegations of stealing ripping them off. Xenophobic morons
