you don't understand me bro. Harnessing solar energy and hydro energy which is more expensive?

Hydro would be cheaper in general for the first 10 years in any working country where the people in charge would not be as corrupt or as useless as our civil servants and political leaders.

However solar technology at the moment is far cheaper than it ever use to be and far more control on generation is given to the end users which means accountability.... if this is implemented like the way the article indicates it will be it will be a game changer that will allow other Nigerians to know 24hr light is very achievable without waiting for useless leaders to their jobs.

Just look at all they have stolen from our non-working refineries.

If you type anything that concern APC or Fulani, Nairaland will not post it. It will even change it to another thing entirely.

It seems you know very little about solar and its capabilities.

Solar power won't work at night or during cloud cover in the rainy season and fog of Harmattan so it's not even going to deliver 24/7 electricity. A combination of wind and solar with inverters is the way to go.

Useless government, believe this at your own peril. Another scheme to loot public funds. A government that could not release indomie for citizens will give solar power. Useless government!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If it can serve 24/7 I'll gladly pay

You better migrate to neighboring west African countries like Togo, Ghana if you want to have access to 247 uninterrupted power supply, it is not far from home.
You think Nigerian government does not know such initiative in other to improve on stable electricity over the years? Why bringing such initiatives now knowing that it is only a scam.
Believe the 419 scam at your own peril

I don't need to read all through to know that IT WILL FAIL. EXTREME INCOMPETENCY IS HIV TO INNOVATION.

A village man will pay 4000 naira every month for 3 years

You cannot provide ordinary light you want to bill people for solar power. Na una create sun?

This mentality is what is killing you people.

You want everything for free without doing anything.

Go to America that you all want to be like, and tell me if electricity is free there.

Nonsense.

Thanks very much for this.

Until Nigerian government can achieve stable power.

Anyone who has more than enough to spend should just get the 3 sources.

I prefer my solar mostly at night if there is no government power so I can hear any noise around.

Blue power is a no no for nights.

What happened to electricity? I thought fashola said a good government should get it ready within 6 months?

E go make sense if they do am.

25 Million Nigerians To Own N5m Solar Systems At N4000 Monthly

WE ARE WATCHING AS OUR MONEY TRAVELS UNDER FAKE GOVERNMENT SCHEME

Battery replacement be the issue , after 3 months battery will go flat , u need about 500k to replace

Just like mtn lumous

U don talk am finish. Bunch of useless people.
I just day imagine that self deceit way thm day do in the name of say them day manufacture automobiles for Kano. I give u 9 years, as them use do Peugeot for Kaduna, na so them go use do am
even worse, this nonsense one way them day propose go end likewise. People way no go school, i wonder wetin them wan form say them know.

Nice Idea, these guys seems to be waking up from their slumber. We @SolarDuke Electrical will be glad to partner with FG to realize this.

That article is an eye opener to anyone seeking to waste your money on solar energy..
It seems the solar energy technology isn't advanced in our part of the world because there are electric cars with batteries that can run more than a mile with out running out of battery charge.
Why can't such innovation be replicated in solar energy efficiency.

I have disowned this government for a very long time. All theses agenda nah scam.

Good one

We build affordable solar system that works 15hours in a day

15hours Powerbank for rechargeable fan now in stock

Kosoco:
Even at this stage Nigeria is still talking about light since 1999. Haba which way Politicians which way....

my brother honestly the thing suppose Shame Nigeria... electricity generation is not rocket science na.. Nigeria is just a huge joke of a country, we are still talking about providing 24hours power in the country, when other countries have moved forward..

Is it the duration you are concerned about, what about the load capacity?

I have been on solar provided by mtn Lumos for over 4months, NEPA just came to disconnect my light, me self don't dutch them, I pay 7300 every month and my light is 247, 4k, I all gladly join

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2020/11/25m-nigerians-to-own-n5m-solar-systems-at-n4000-monthly/amp/

This doesn't make sense. Why give individuals solar systems that cost 5million each in which the will pay 4k monthly and for just 25million which am pretty sure most will go to middle belt to up north.
While not have regional or better still have state solar stations that will power their constituencies. There are more than enough land that will house it. Lagos to Ibadan express way will power almost half of lagos, Ibadan and Ogun. That way, there is less burden on national grid and with the support of the solar stations, if not all, most homes will have light which is more than 25million

You must be very foolish
What have they been doing with all the taxes they've been collecting since 1960 that they can't provide ordinary power.
I'm sure you just want to show the world your stupidity, if not no right thinking person would support this trash you posted.

You must be very stupid to have typed this. There definitely is a timeline for this project to kick start and elapse. Then if it turned out to be a "white elephant project" then u can spew trash but not before.

Mammangaddafi:
Lol....na u create the panel?

Let them convert the power bills Nigerians pay for every single month even when they don't get the power.
They can use that money and supply billions of panels and inverters and enough change would remain.
I no blame you sha, na sense you no get.

TheRareGem1:
There are some Nigerians who are not connected to the National grid as such, FG is ready to come to their aid by giving them an alternative means to electricity supply; solar energy. This will create jobs and upgrade the livelihood of some people. This token to be paid monthly is to maintain the panel.

It's a brilliant idea but you are missing two important issues.

Will the solar panel and battery be manufactured in Nigeria? How will Nigeria manage the N4000 month payment from the recipient of the loan?

I have always suggested that Nigeria installed electricity capacity of 13,000 MW should be dedicated to industry and establishment and the public should be moved onto solar energy

OneTemplate:


They are not "billing"for solar power. Read again. The 4k per month appears to be instalment payment towards households permanently owning a #5million solar power system.

It is a good and commendable plan if corruption does not compromise it because a 5 million solar system should be quite powerful enough to deal with all the electricity needs of a household minus AC. It is clean and fuel-free energy also

So how old are you now that, you want to pay #4,000 per month installment for the next 104 years before you can be a true owner of the so called solar system? Sometimes we should be very fast in thinking though!

Eiyaaaaaaaa!



And APC zombies claimed this fool had a magic wand to upgrade nepa to give light 247. They said if we want steady power supply we should vote out PDP. Funny enough the slowpoke who made that statement is the currently in charge of power and we are seeing how they are giving us the light. They want to use this to buy time. What of the prepaid meter?
