We Just recently installed solar panels due to frustration.

The Diesel generator is on compulsory leave.

As for the small petrol generator, from 8pm till midnight, or whenever we need to pump water.

I stay in a Lodge Off Campus where only few students own generator, so I put ON my gen by 10 pm and switch off by 1:am, The reason why I switch it On, at that late hour is that I love my peace of mind and I hate disturbance, my neighbours no dey use ear to hear sound of generator, anytime I switch it on earlier in the evening,
my room go just full like say na Charging centre, some will not even want to go back to their rooms again even after plugging their phones, they will just inconvenience somebody and me sef I like my personal space, my tolerance level gan is very low..

This is a very good question!

Personally, I only turn on the gen when I there is the need and usually the need arises from work related activities that need me to power up my system when it is dead.

On rare occasions I put it on for guests if the house is hot or when my phone is dead for more than a certain number of hours.

But you see my neighbors ennn. God. It's as if their former life na Yankee them stay. Their gen is always on!!!! Noise pollution everyday and night. If they seize power around 3am, they would go downstairs to put on their individual gens. It has been hell!!! I can't make calls or listen to stuffs online in the evening from my room. I have to go to the sitting room and sit there.

It's sad!
E be like you be my neighbor.

Vigilante no de allow Gen pass 12 midnight here.

Quite ridiculous to think that the huge amount spent on importing & running generators in this country can conveniently fix the problems of our power sector.

So, nah importers go fix our power sector for us?
Hmmm! Your gods must be a miracle worker I

Most people shouting install solar panels up and down on this thread don't have it or use only the small ones that can power only fan and TV for 4 hrs.

It doesn't make sense for someone to spend 1m naira on solar power system yet it can't power ACs and freezers, it's a total waste of money.

3k Naira fuel daily in a medium size generator will give steady power for all home appliances for one year with that 1m naira.
Nonsense solar power angry angry

The law says you should put off your gen at 12am. Unless it is an hospital etc.

Solar energy is too expensive

Not if you do your maths properly. How much money do you daily spend on petrol currently x 365 x 10?
The light situation in Nigeria will not change 10 years from today. Not drastically at the least. It may likely even worsen.

You are still left with rising costs because petrol price will keep rising. Generator maintenance costs etc. So, what you are paying now is the minimum it can get for you financially, and the energy source is still not yours. It belongs to your petrol station attendant and his/her boss.

I'll take a loan from a bank, and go off-grid. Perhaps also sell a little energy to my immediate neighbors to help pay down my debts much sooner.

Reason is that,
As a bet9ja agent,I no go dey burn gen for my shops 24/7
Then light no go dey for my dwelling place,
My gen dey steam steady.
Na two gen for house Incase one mess up
grin grin grin
Life is sweet,relaxed if only u do a legit job.
To all the legit hustlers
The sky shall be ur limit,
Better days ahead
My landlord informed me on Sunday night that all gen must go off 12 in the night. Immediately the following day I started looking for another house because I don't want to have problem with him and I don't like being conditioned by anybody.
I'm deteyto park out by this month end.
