Man Abandons NEPA, Turns to Solar Panels and Battery for Constant Electricity, Nigerians React

  • A Nigerian man who got tired of the power supply he was getting from the grid has gone for solar energy
  • Showing off some four solar panels and a tubular battery, he mentioned that constant electricity was assured for him
  • As many people praised him for making the expensive move to get on solar, others worried about his setup capacity

A Nigerian creative building products on the Solana blockchain has solved his power supply issue.

The man who must have been frustrated by the Nigerian national grid opted for solar energy as he got panels.

He (@big_sensei1) showed four pieces of solar panels and a battery pack as he bade farewell to NEPA. He announced he was now going to be enjoying a 24/7 power supply.

Using Solar and Starlink

The Solana developer, however, did not mention the rated wattage of each panel to determine how many KVAs his setup was.

His X post read:

"Dear NEPA I'm finally done with you guys. I'm now having 24/7 power supply.
"MTN, you're next!"

Nigerian government and solar electricity

The man's solar post came at a time when the federal government was considering banning the importation of solar panels.

A few days ago, Nigerians reacted as Aso Rock said it was disconnecting from the national grid and spending N10bn to install panels.

The government later gave its reason for wanting to go solar, saying it was out of the need to drastically reduce cost of governance.
