After 100yrs Without Electricity, Solar Mini Grid Excites Kwara Community Famole Surulere community in Share/Oke ward of Ifelodun Local Government Area of Kwara State has been in existence since time immemorial but they have not for once enjoyed the benefit of being connected to the national grid for their electricity supply. https://dailytrust.com/after-100yrs-without-electricity-solar-mini-grid-excites-kwara-community 4 Likes

Solar scams by this scament. Na this solar panel go give the whole village light? Solar panels for the masses is a big waste for now. The maintenance is way too high. Fg should do the right thing for once. Dia Fada! 30 Likes 1 Share |

Well, half loaf is better than none, at least this can illuminate a few houses in the community. Of course, if the solar panel on display is what they are talking about, I strongly doubt they can power 3 refrigerators. But lemme see how some people who lack water for over 30 years will condemn this development. I understand in some of their communities, na firewood dem dey use as light at night. 4 Likes |

LikeAking: Yes, it can power the whole village because it depends on their load demand, and not the size of the village. This must have been put into consideration during the feasibility study of this project. Again, the maintenance cost of RE systems is far less than Diesel Generators or fossil-driven conventional electricity. The major issues of RE surrounds their high first capital cost, stochasticity and expertise (in general). I believe this has been taken care of. I feel there should be more spacing, and the panels on the left should be tilted at an angle equivalent to the latitude of the location. I don't think that's around 6°.....(the pix might just be for illustration purposes, though). It is a laudable project. This REA/EEP is one area I don't know how to fault the FG on. They are doing well here. PS: This is a private driven one and still commendable. 31 Likes 3 Shares |

fergie001: God forbid!. That thing you see there cant even power medium family house room well. Na scam. Good solar batteries are very expensive and you know how battery they take run down na? Replacement na whala. Solar is not an option. Only the very rich should use it. India has been installing portable dams for various rural communities. 7 Likes 1 Share |

LikeAking:Not everything is scam. Which battery are you buying or which panels are you getting? Panels are not determined by their sizes by sight but by their kilowatts peak rating. That village, we are talking about, you are not aware if they use refrigerators....this is a remote community without grid. That medium room, what do they use? You don't know.....moreover, the pix might just be for illustration purposes. They basically will have just CFLs, radio, maybe TV, Phone and that's all! When you are told a community don't have power for close to a century, that community isn't rural but VERY REMOTE. The Private Co. will get the good ones, and you will see the difference. Do you set up dams, where there is no water? 17 Likes 3 Shares |

LikeAking:Batteries are part of solar panel installation. Did you see it anywhere in the report that there are no batteries for the installation? The issue is, after installation, which "way too high" maintenance is required? And yes, I use solar panel with 4 (200AH each) deep cycle batteries in my house. For the past 2 years plus, I haven't spent a dime on the system. 12 Likes |

Simplyleo:Is it possible to connect a 24v solar panel to a 12v battery? Also is it possible to connect a 24v battery to a 12v inverter? |
Re: After 100 Years Without Electricity, Solar Mini Grid Excites Kwara Community by Simplyleo: 10:49pm On Apr 15, 2021 |
Tingotoe:If you have two 12v batteries, connect them in series, the resulting voltage is 24v and therefore compatible with the 24v solar panel. A 12v volt inverter has an inbuilt transformer that transforms 12v to 220v ac after the voltage has been inverted to ac. But connecting a 24v battery to the inverter implies an output voltage of 440v which is above the voltage requirements of our home appliances. 12 Likes |

Solar is the present and the future, i recommend you give solar a try if you face power shortage. I have been living offgrid with my small solar setup since 2018 and i have remained an ambassador of alternative energy since then. I sell portable lithium inverter battery suitable for house light, Tv, laptop, phones etc. It is better to start now than latter. Alternative energy is getting cheaper by the day! 4 Likes |

Been to a community like this in ogun state while doing this stupid contract job for FMARD..... The village is called gbamu gbamu.... You will think it is located on one of the far corners of the earth... Very faaaaaaar from civilization. The whole community runs on solar and they use LED bulbs in each houses to save energy... I don't know if they use refrigerators or high energy consumption appliances but i can tell you they have light 24/7 as long as they are able to afford payment for whatever unit they require... No electric poles in sight... No boreholes... No infrastructures in sight... No govt hospitals.. I was wowed! 6 Likes 1 Share |
