How About Subsidising Solar Panels by akingangan(op): 12:04pm On Jul 21, 2023
A new solar panel that can generate power from raindrops has been invented.

Now there are solar panels that can generate electricity in any kind of weather.

How about subsidising the price of solar panels.

That will remove the burden on the national grid and with million of houses using solar panels, that will actually add to the national grid.

Nigerians should also switch to Electric vehicles.

Free energy is a reality

They won't like such ideas cos it will not allow them to continually victimized and loot the people's common wealth. Moreover they don't really want anything good to reach the common man.

Anything that is subsidised on a large scale in Nigeria will most certainly become enmeshed in mumenetal corruption, like fuel subsidy.

The subsidy won't get to those who need it.

However, the government can immediately remove import duty on solar panels, and remove other obstacles to their importation so the price can be cheaper.

Widespread adoption of solar and the entire value chain will create tens of thousands of jobs across the country.

It is an easy win, but Nigerian policy makers just won't see it.

We are producing cars in Nigeria and the govermnent is not patronizing it, why can't we produced solar panels here? Must we continue in this economic slavery for ever?
