There's steady light now in most parts of Nigeria unless in remote villages and in these places you have to use solar and charge like N50.

Population is very low in those places to break even

As of when I left Nigeria in 2023, we were having light for only 10 hours weekly and I was living in palmgroove Lagos. Which part of Nigeria has steady light?

tensa don't mind them with their lies joor. No light in Nigeria at all except if you are using solar light.

josielewa:
As a solar engineer, what type of solar solution will you give to a person who wants to delve into this business. Lets say (30) 15 watts usb points and (10) 33 watts usb points with (10) 10 watts usb points. Using solar panels and battery and during off peak sunlight hours, using generator or 100% solar usage..

lets say a daily patranage of 50 chargers at 200 naira each, which is 10k daily, what can you recommend for a starter

How many hours maximum, does a charging session last? That will help in sizing a system for you

Sonnobax15:
. Dm me

Interested too.

2cribz:
No much profit.
Charging 200 naira.
In a day no more than 15 to 10 ppl a day.
Abi u wan go knack solar panel for open.
Dem go steal the panels
Break into the shop.

The profit can't buy uba house or car
Naija light donbdey better unlike b4.
I can never do such a biz
Af not seen anyone who did it that became rich
10k a day is not money.
And no be everyday dem dey charge
It's poverty.

U no go buy fuel
Solar no go spoil

It's a biz for poor ppl

If u wan rich. Sell engines.car parts.
Foodstuffs wholesale
Export

It's a biz for poor ppl

This post reeks of ignorance. Rather than ask how it can be scaled you expect only one shop to make you a millionaire in one month or what?

oweniwe:
Sometimes 5 people in a whole day

Sometimes nobody will come

Then change location. There are places in Lagos where shops don't even have access to NEPA or gen use. I know a guy supplying more than 20 shops with electricity. Now imagine those who don't have shops, where will they charge their phones?

Location and scaling is what matters.

Go do am.its a bix meant for people in poverty

. It's mouthwatering bro.....Just mix it up with selling of cold drinks and water+POS..... Trust me,you go dey smile on a daily basis especially when it's situated in a very busy area ...

Please make sure where you charge people's phones are hidden. I always have the concern that some armed boys will use "toys" to steal all the phones at such phone-charging places.

In Port Harcourt, Abuja, they average 15 hours per day. 10 hours a week was last year. As of now, most major cities across Nigeria average 10 hours a day. People in Band A get up to 20 hours a day.

So you are telling me that the power supply in Nigeria automatically improved drastically within the last 2 years

Yes, it has. Tinubu try for this one.
Power supply has seen significant improvement in the past 2 years. Albeit at a cost.

Stop exaggerating. From your write up.its pbvious u r in a dead rural vewi local area.200 phone a day
easy with the lies bro

Imagine a poor man asking Dangote what business can he go into and Dangote advises him to set up a cement plant, would you say that was realistic?

The man here is asking a question for himself and not for me or you. I was in the UK for holiday in 2014 and 2020 for holiday. I came back 2 days before the British lockdown was to commence. Pastor Adefarasin was on the same flight.

I live in Akute, Ogun. Yes, it isn't in Ikeja where my dad's house, but I am okay with. I don't want to have stress paying my rent. It's a 3 bedroom flat.

Phone charging is N200 per phone. He also charges power banks for 200. My bigger powerbank was 300.

We've no had power for 2 weeks due to a major fault. My generator packed up due to stress buit I have fixed it and it is presently on.

There are days the guy I charge with has no space for any new phones.

I have no interest in going into the business. Just giving someone advice.

Sonnobax15:

A very lucrative Business I must say...

The profit I make on a daily basis has been mouthwatering....but my only problem is insufficient chargers and sockets..

How much do you make on daily basis

Sirchiboy:

This business is far more profitable than driving keke napep 100 times. Keke fit frustrate you to the point wey, you no go get money to buy basic things wey who dey employed, suppose fit buy for himself. Unless say na new keke. You go dey work for mechanic. And money to buy new keke you for use am do treasury bill. How many years you wan drive the keke before you recover your capital of N4.1 million? Meanwhile solar no dey spoil. Only that thing is it's a high risk business because the phones can get stolen. Na only money for store rent you go dey work for. I read the previous stupid comments above me, that they wrote on this topic/thread. Somebody above said it's a poor man business. But the business he suggested is not any better than charging of phone business. Any idiot discouraging people from doing this business is a suspect. It's not a billionaire or even millionaire business, but it's something that you can earn a reliable source of income from

I have a charging station but the challenge is power....my generator dey chop fuel too much....

SolarEngr:
Do you own a charging station, how many phones do you charge per day on average?

How much profit do you make daily?

How much do you charge per phone or power bank?

Let's discuss, and let's see how we can help you.
