Electricity: Proud Nigerian Lady Displays Her 'Cheap' Solar Inverter Which Lasts Overnight

• A Nigerian lady has proudly shown off a solar inverter she bought some months ago that has been serving her well
• Concerned about the heatwave at night in the absence of electricity, the lady sought an alternative power source and was fortunate to find one
• Speaking highly of her solar inverter, she listed appliances it carries, saying it is cheap and lasts till dawn

Anita Chinwe Herbert, a Nigerian woman, has showcased a solar inverter she has been using for the past three months without regrets.

Chinwe said they don't usually turn on their generator at home overnight, which meant they had to deal with the heatwave any time power was interrupted.

Cost of Chinwe's 'cheap' solar inverter

In a Facebook post, Chinwe shared a picture of the solar inverter she tagged cheap. She said it cost her over N300k to purchase, install, and wire her room solely for the inverter.

Chinwe noted that the solar inverter powers her fan, bulbs, and sockets. When fully charged, it can last overnight.

She added that it is charged by the sun and electricity, adding that:

"I have never had a single regret since this inverter was installed, I no longer have business with heat at home."

Chinwe's Facebook post read in part:

"...I spent 300k+ which covers the inverter, fresh wiring in my room which is solemnly for the inverter, energy saving fan and other miscellaneous expenses. If well charged, it can carry you till dawn.

"The inverter powers fan, sockets and bulb. Destiny said it can carry TV but I haven’t tried as there is no tv in my room.

"It’s charged with electricity and solar (sun). It will be very nice to use in office/shop, your light will never go off because of constant sunshine..."
