Man Installs Solar Energy with 8 Tubular Batteries in his Apartment, Sells Electricity to Neighbours

• A Nigerian man using a solar setup that runs on eight tubular batteries shows how he supplies energy to his neighbours
• The solar expert installed a metre for each neighbour who buys energy at N200 per kWh at least from him
• Many Nigerians who thronged his comment section wanted to know how he manages his neighbours' electricity distribution

A Nigerian man who once made the news for selling his solar energy to his neighbour now has a new user plugged into his setup.

The man said that a new tenant who has just arrived at their compound is also feeding from his solar electricity at a fee.

Supplying neighbours solar energy

Recall that he had a metre to measure the first user's energy. He did the same for the new neighbour, so he knows the kilowatt each user is pulling at a time.

As of 9 pm, the solar owner (@emmyinverters) said that his new neighbour is running 128 watts. He added that his old co-tenant had used 635 units so far.

In a video that went viral, the man showed people how he ran electricity cables to his neighbours to supply them with solar energy.

Solar energy distribution

He mentioned that he may still supply his third neighbour, who was running on a generator. As he distributed energy to his neighbour, he still had sufficient solar energy to power his AC and TV set.

The man stated that he sells electricity at N250 per kWh to his new neighbour while the old tenant buys at N200/kWh.

A solar engineer, Kabiru Akindele, praised the solar owner for creating a P2P for his solar energy. He believed it would drive more adoption.

"Solar energy is expensive at entry. Seeing someone allowing people to benefit from his solar at an affordable fee is commendable. It will benefit both the supplier and the user. The environment will also be less polluted."
