Greeting my fellow Nairalanders!

I just started my new year with a sad news of incessant increase of MTN solar energy popularly called MTN lumos from N235 to N300.

When I purchased this MTN Lumos 2years ago, it was was N200 per day, just within a year, MTN increased it to N235 per day, just this year again, they further increased it to N300 per day.

It is either MTN is deceiving or is extorting illegally from MTN-LUMOS users because MTN credit did not add price, VAT did not increase, data did not add price, call rate did not add price Why then will MTN keep increasing Lumos plans? May be this is because MTN which promised LUMOS-users of 1800 paid days before claiming the LUMOS system for life is trying to frustrate many to return the system so that they will recycle it to other people who may be in need.

This is a modern fraud and @NCC @ICPC should take note!

That's 9k monthly,
9000x12=108000
Since u must sub everyday/month for 5yrs
108000x5(years) =540,000
Mtn dey cash out gan ni, am sure you'll get that thing less than 300k from solar companies

Nobody will tell you that you enter one chance.

Solar companies wouldn't allow u pay for it over 5years...

Many comments here are paid comments. Political dogs and messengers sent to manipulate minds of unwary people. Don't get carried away.

Tribe has nothing to do with fighting against injustice and seeking for what is just.

When a policeman said he never took bribe many never want to believe just the same way a non virgin doesn't want to believe another is a virgin .

Fulanis are minority.
They rule a vast majority.
Fulanis have an agenda and its being in power using every means.
Divide and conquer

Can't we see.
We are colonized in a democracy.
By a minority white Fulani.

Let's understand this how did democracy favor a minority. How please?
I can't understand.

That pile of shït is not worth N150k

The puzzle here is why NCC would keep silent while MTN operated the Lumos scam on their gullible victims over so many years.

Bro I fixed mine for a self contain using private solar coy for about 250k...its equally expensive

Yours is serviceable

When the batteries die inside that Lumos you have to take it back to MTN so they charge you a king's ransom to change the batteries.

Is the power rating comparable even?

I'm wondering why you will buy solar panel with your money and still pay MTN to use the sun.

What are you guys paying for really?

Are you paying for the sun?

I can personally setup a better solar system with as low as 100-150k to power my lights and TV for as long as I want. In fact, I recently helped a friend install one for around 150k which powers his 42" TV all day as long as there is sunlight and at least 4hrs at night. All things being equal, the setup should last for 18-24 months before any major upgrade.

How many hours can this MTN thing power a 32" TV for example?

By the way, I am not even a professional installer, just a DIYer.

It baffles me when I see some Nigerians paying monthly fee to use renewable energy. To make matters worst, that device (MTN lumous) is limited to few gadgets. It can't power a ceiling fan talk more of a television set( devil's box)

150k using what kind of batteries??

Elmaaq:


150k using what kind of batteries??

After research on the internet, specifically on nairaland on alternative power solutions, I sold my fuel generator and invested in the following:

(1) 100AH deep cycle mercury battery #55, 000 (from konga)

(1) 250 watts Mono crystalline Solar panel #40, 000 (from konga)

(1) Solar Charge controller #15,000 (from konga)

(1) Fairly Used 650VA Ups inverter #5,000 (from a computer center nearby)

Solar cables worth #15000

Total #130,000

This is what I have been using for the past 12months to power (1) startimes decoder and 32 inch led tv on power saving mode (2) 4, 9watts led bulbs (3) dc standing fan.
(4) my android phone and laptop always on full battery, I plan to double the set within next 2 months to be able to add other gadgets.

how many hours a day?

Blame FG for failing to provide this basic amenity........ And many other amenities......

The only advantage is that it enables people who cannot afford the 'big' money for solar system at once to also enjoy uninterrupted power.

Also, within the 5-year period they fix any problem be it solar panel or battery at no cost to the subscriber. After 5 years it becomes your property: you no longer pay subscription.

This links thing, I how many hours does it last
I wanted to buy it but it might be a waste of time.

Everything about mtn is scam, go to simba inverter at Eric Moore they are the main importer of this product

That thing na nonsense. You can't put 100W load on it for more than 10min even under bright sunlight (they only give 100w solar panel and 50AH battery).

Like someone said above, you can set up a 500W solar power system (this will power 150w LCD TV, 10w LED light and a decoder) with less than 200k, that you don't need to pay monthly for using it

.

.

The reason for increament is simply inflation. This box doesn't worth it ab initio, many users can attest to that.
