#Solar power for homes Nigeria

African poverty is partly a consequence of energy poverty. In every other continent the vast majority of people have access to electricity. In Africa 600m people, 43% of the total, cannot readily light their homes or charge their phones. And those who nominally have grid electricity find it as reliable as a Scottish summer. More than three-quarters of African firms experience outages; two-fifths say electricity is the main constraint on their business.
If other sub-Saharan African countries had enjoyed power as reliable as South Africa’s from 1995 to 2007, then the continent’s rate of real GDP growth per person would have been two percentage points higher, more than doubling the actual rate, according to one academic paper. Since then South Africa has also had erratic electricity. So-called “load-shedding” is probably the main reason why the economy has shrunk in four of the past eight quarters.
Solar power is increasingly seen as the solution. Last year Africa installed a record amount of photovoltaic (PV) capacity (though this still made up just 1% of the total added worldwide), notes the African Solar Industry Association (AFSIA), a trade group. Globally most solar PV is built by utilities, but in Africa 65% of new capacity over the past two years has come from large firms contracting directly with developers. These deals are part of a decentralised revolution that could be of huge benefit to African economies.
Ground zero for the revolution is South Africa. Last year saw a record number of blackouts imposed by Eskom, the state-run utility, whose dysfunctional coal-fired power stations regularly break down or operate at far below capacity. Fortunately, as load-shedding was peaking, the costs of solar systems were plummeting.
Between 2019 and 2023 the cost of panels fell by 15%, having already declined by almost 90% in the 2010s. Meanwhile battery storage systems now cost about half as much as five years ago. Industrial users pay 20-40% less per unit when buying electricity from private project developers than on the cheapest Eskom tariff.
In the past two calendar years the amount of solar capacity in South Africa rose from 2.8GW to 7.8GW, notes AFSIA, excluding that installed on the roofs of suburban homes. All together South Africa’s solar capacity could now be almost a fifth of that of Eskom’s coal-fired power stations (albeit those still have a higher “capacity factor”, or ability to produce electricity around the clock). The growth of solar is a key reason why there has been less load-shedding in 2024...
Over the past decade the number of startups providing “distributed renewable energy” (DRE) has grown at a clip. Industry estimates suggest that more than 400m Africans get electricity from solar home systems and that more than ten times as many “mini-grids”, most of which use solar, were built in 2016-20 than in the preceding five years. In Kenya DRE firms employ more than six times as many people as the largest utility. In Nigeria they have created almost as many jobs as the oil and gas industry.
“The future is an extremely distributed system to an extent that people haven’t fully grasped,” argues Matthew Tilleard of CrossBoundary Group, a firm whose customers range from large businesses to hitherto unconnected consumers. “It’s going to happen here in Africa first and most consequentially.”
Ignite, which operates in nine African countries, has products that include a basic panel that powers three light bulbs and a phone charger, as well as solar-powered irrigation pumps, stoves and internet routers, and industrial systems. Customers use mobile money to “unlock” a pay-as-you-go meter.
Yariv Cohen, Ignite’s CEO, reckons that the typical $3 per month spent by consumers is less than what they previously paid for kerosene and at phone-charging kiosks. He describes how farmers are more productive because they do not have to get home before dark and children are getting better test scores because they study under bulbs. One family in Rwanda used to keep their two cows in their house because they feared rustlers might come in the dark; now the cattle snooze al fresco under an outside lamp and the family gets more sleep.
...That is one eye-catching aspect of Africa’s solar revolution. But most of the continent is undergoing a more subtle—and significant—experiment in decentralised, commercially driven solar power. It is a trend that could both transform African economies and offer lessons to the rest of the world."

Meet the Nigerian women spearheading solar projects
Tumblr media
32-year-old green energy entrepreneur Yetunde Fadeyi will never forget what inspired her to start a clean energy company in Nigeria.
As a six-year-old, Fadeyi’s best friend, Fatima, was killed by carbon monoxide poisoning in her Lagos home, along with her father and pregnant mother.
“She often came over for sleepovers. But that day she didn’t,” says Fadeyi. “It was the time that they were stealing people’s generators, so they kept [the generator] in an enclosed area and by the time it was morning they were dead.”
After a childhood in Lagos plagued by intermittent electricity, a degree in chemistry and training in solar panel installation, Fadeyi started Renewable Energy and Environmental Sustainability (REES). The non-profit is dedicated to climate advocacy and providing clean energy to poor communities in rural Nigeria.
Bringing solar energy to Nigeria’s poorest homes
Since its inception in 2017, REES Africa has provided solar energy to over 6,000 people in the poorest parts of Nigeria, funded by grants and philanthropic donations.
It supplies solar microgrids, which generate energy through solar panels and store them in battery banks for distribution. The small grids bring high quality, cheap and constant power to up to 100 homes each, powering light bulbs, radios, sockets and other low energy appliances.
Tumblr media
Fadeyi says that energy companies don’t see any potential for profit in poor and marginalised communities. With around 40 per cent of Nigerians living below the national poverty line, it’s up to companies like Fadeyi’s to fill the gap for now.
Professor Yinka Omoregbe is hoping to bridge this energy gap as CEO of Etin Power, providing energy to offgrid communities using mini solar grids. She brings a wealth of experience to the role as a former national advisor on the reform of Nigeria’s petroleum sector and a former state attorney general.
In its first year, Etin Power provided electricity to over 5,200 people in three neglected coastal communities in Edo State, southern Nigeria. While the results so far are small, Omoregbe’s ambitions are far bigger.
We will have proven that it is possible to profitably give green energy to vulnerable communities.”

Nigeria's Federal University of Kashere, Gombe State, is fast becoming a home for renewable energy innovation and development, especially given that the rate of on-grid power supply had been relatively low before now. The relief brought about by exploring renewable energy in the institution and its environs has been massive and the gains have been immeasurable.
Vice Chancellor of the University, Prof. Umaru Pate, a communication scholar, has taken it as a task to transform the university from its erstwhile dependence on grid-generated electricity to the exploration of solar as an alternative. Today, all important offices such as ICT, Chancellery office, administrative block, radio station, streets road channels, among others, are run by the installation of solar panels.

The Vast Potential of Nigeria’s Renewable Energy Sector
Tumblr media
With a growing population, Nigeria is facing an increasing demand for electricity. The country is rich in fossil fuels and also enjoys significant potential in terms of the development of renewable sources of power. While this potential has, to date, gone largely untapped, things are changing, and now may be the ideal opportunity for Nigeria to change its energy mix and deliver more reliable, cleaner power to its citizens.
Creating a Stable Supply of Electricity
The Chief of Staff to the President Femi Gbajabiamila recently spoke about the Federal Government’s commitment to actively pursuing a variety of initiatives designed to sustain and improve national power supply. Discussing the enormity of what can be achieved when public and private bodies join forces to work towards a common goal, Olufemi Hakeem Gbajabiamila reiterated President Bola Tinubu’s commitment to addressing the complex challenges of ensuring a stable supply of power across the whole of Nigeria.
Tumblr media
Investing in Renewables
In recent years, there has been growing interest in developing renewable infrastructure in Nigeria. The $80.6 million UK government initiative Solar Nigeria was announced in 2014, aiming to build a distributed solar energy market in the country. Furthermore, northern Nigeria’s windspeeds are fast enough to support wind turbines, suggesting a potentially significant investment opportunity. Nigeria’s Federal Ministry of Power has mapped out the movements of offshore winds to assess wind energy potential over the country’s waters with a view to future renewables development.
Transition to Renewable Energy
The Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) has unveiled several planned infrastructure projects to mark its transition to renewables. Opportunities to invest in renewable energy projects include those around solar and wind energy power generation, sugarcane fuel ethanol, cassava fuel ethanol, oil palm biodiesel in Calabar and emission reduction.
dailymotion
Shifting Away from Home Generators
Many households in Nigeria own and use their own generators to meet their energy needs, largely due to the instability of the national power supply. The transmission away from these low-efficiency, local generators is likely to improve the country’s carbon footprint; as of last year, Nigeria was the third-highest emitter of greenhouse gases in Africa. It’s worth noting, however, that Nigeria is a relatively low carbon emitter globally, with carbon dioxide production per capita 8.7 times lower than the UK.
The Future
Although power outages remain a problem in Nigeria, the country’s federal government is switching focus to renewables, rather than fossil fuels, to meet Nigeria’s power needs.

Nigeria, Germany launches partnership on battery recycling
Tumblr media
Nigeria and Germany has launched a Partnership for Responsible Battery and Metal recycling (ProBaMet) project. The partnership aims at improving battery recycling in Nigeria, raising labour and environmental standards, and establishing sustainable trade flows for raw materials. QIn this new project, partners from Nigerian civil society, the metal processing industry and the solar industry are working together with the Oeko-Institut to develop a cooperative approach to the responsible recycling of lead-acid batteries. To this end, the project is liaising closely with the Nigerian Federal Ministry of Environment and the environmental enforcement agency, Nigeria Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency (NESREA). "As the largest economy and most populous country in Africa, Nigeria is also central to battery recycling. Nowhere else on the African continent is the volume of used batteries as high," emphasizes Frederick Adjei, researcher on Circular Economy and Recycling at the Oeko-Institut. "At the same time, the expansion of decentralised solar power solutions is leading to an increase in demand for batteries, all of which will have to be recycled properly at some point". In view of the serious health and environmental risks posed by unsound recycling practices, the project supports industrial companies and regulatory authorities in Nigeria in introducing environmental, health and safety standards. The project is funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and supported by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH. Modernising Nigeria’s recycling industry Nigeria is home to one of the largest lead-acid battery recycling industries in Sub-Saharan Africa. At least ten facilities recycle batteries on an industrial scale, recovering raw materials such as lead, tin and antimony. These are mostly redeployed in battery production – either in Nigeria or abroad. The aim of the joint project is to share experiences for the modernisation of the recycling sector in Nigeria. The partners are using a three-pronged approach: the Oeko-Institut and the industrial partners are providing knowledge on environmental protection and occupational safety for recycling plants and training plant managers to improve environmental performance and plant safety. In addition, the partners are developing concepts for how Nigerian regulatory authorities might introduce and monitor binding standards for environmental protection and occupational health and safety and implement them together with local companies. Last but not least, cooperation with other sectors is to be initiated, for example with the Nigerian solar industry, which requires environmentally sound solutions for used batteries. The German and international metals industry is as well highly interested in responsible supply chains for secondary raw materials. "We have been monitoring the recycling of used batteries with great concern for many years and have already worked with the Nigerian government on a battery policy. " We see this project as an important continuation and practical implementation of that work," says Dr Leslie Adogame of the Nigerian organisation Sustainable Research and Action for Environmental Development (SRADev). David Lecoque, CEO of the Alliance for Rural Electrification (ARE) adds a practical perspective: "Our member companies are actively involved in the expansion of decentralised renewable energy in Africa. They are aware of the challenges associated with battery disposal and are keen to scale up high quality local recycling solutions". Franziska Weber from Plattform Blei, an initiative of the WirtschaftsVereinigung Metalle, emphasises the benefits for the industry: "Our member companies and partners are dependent on the import of raw materials and recycling streams are playing an increasingly important role in this context. "But of course, we have to pay particular attention to environmental and labour standards with all our suppliers. Without the implementation of appropriate standards, the German economy cannot enter into supply relationships with players in Nigeria." Lead-acid battery recycling – risks and opportunities for the circular economy Lead-acid batteries are used in cars, off-grid solar applications and backup power systems. Environmentally sound and safe recycling is possible and can effectively recover up to 97 per cent of all contained raw materials. However, in many regions of the world, recycling takes place in substandard, highly dangerous and unsafe conditions, exposing workers and neighbouring communities to toxic lead dust. This lead exposure can have serious health effects, including irreversible nerve and brain damage particularly in children. According to UNICEF, up to 800 million children, especially in low- and middle-income countries, have elevated blood lead levels. In addition to the dramatic impact on the lives of those affected, there is also long-term economic damage, which is estimated at four percent of the Gross Domestic Product in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Financing Infrastructure Deficit in Nigeria - Kenny Odugbemi
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Financing Infrastructure Deficit in Nigeria The federal government of Nigeria currently has a score point of 48.33%, leaving over 50% deficit This infrastructural deficit ranked 24th out of 54 African countries Nigeria will require between $(100-150)billion annually for the next 39years to close the deficit Dataphyte provided an estimate of about $2.3trn, whilst Augusto & Co and World bank simultaneously agreed that $3trn investment will resolve infrastructure decadence in Nigeria. FY 2022-Dataphyte confirmed that the size of our public debt has risen to N44trn excluding N23trn methods and meant as borrowing from Apex bank FY 2015-2022, PMB budgeted N18.6trn to cover our debt service This borrowing was expended recklessly with no meaningful impact on our infrastructure deficiency This continued in FY 2015- 2023, Nigeria debt servicing has increased by 564% Financing infrastructure deficit FY 2024 Budget -N27.5trn Revenue-N18.42trn Recurrent-N9.92trn Capital expenditure-N8.7trn Deficit- N9.18trn Borrowing-N7.45trn Breakdown of infrastructure - Road infrastructure N657.23bn PBAT administration shall need to seek substantial funding to execute multi-sectoral portfolio of infrastructure projects at the federal and subnational level It is a proven fact that Nigeria going forward will have a serious deficit in the following ✓port infrastructure, ✓intermodal form of infrastructure ✓projects, power infrastructure ✓Agro allied services (to guarantee food security) The deficit is presently an unrivalled opportunity for savvy investors. Reflection PBAT in this administration inherited serious liabilities and insignificant assets necessitating the to take bold steps without delay Case study 1 Islamic development bank has announced the provision $50b as infrastructure fund through the Arab coordination group, there was a strong pledge that Nigeria will get a significant share based on our request for support Case2 The World bank also pledged sum of $750m to execute renewable energy project called DEAR- Distribution access to renewable scale for 80m without access (Rural area) and inadequate supply in Rural Urban Settlement. Private sectors will be required to provide counterfunds to execute this project The target is $1bn injection to ensure economy of scale with suitable scaled pricing for solar home and mini-grid expanded small scale and Nano enterprises. Case 3 African development bank to provide $350 to provide digital innovation to support youth unemployment Case 4 Siemens in Germany intervention on power upgrade with project estimate of $2b for integration of hybrid power upgrade Conclusion The demand for infrastructural development will require a humongous amount of resources beyond the capacity and capability of the present administration and will require the intervention of the global development partners but we need to overcome the challenges of ethnic interests and entitled lobbyists for infrastructure provision across multiethnic states without viable business justification.

How to Pick the Perfect Solar Panel in Nigeria
Solar panels are the new renewable source of energy that powers homes and businesses. When it comes to harnessing the sun's energy, choosing the correct solar panels is critical for maximizing efficiency and long-term performance.
In this in-depth tutorial, we will examine the essential elements to consider when selecting the best solar panels and how to buy solar panels in Nigeria for your requirements.
Things to Consider While Buying Solar Panels
Understand the types:
There are three major types of solar panels on the market:
Monocrystalline panels: These are a fantastic alternative if you have limited space on your roof due to their high efficiency and elegant look.
Polycrystalline panels: These panels are inexpensive and work well in high-temperature environments. They are somewhat less efficient than monocrystalline panels, but they still perform well.
Thin-Film: These panels are lightweight and less costly, they are ideal for big installations. They are, however, less efficient and may take up more room.
Evaluate Warranty and Durability:
Because solar panels are a long-term investment, it is critical to evaluate warranty terms as well as the panel's endurance. Go through warranty coverage for power output, material defects, and craftsmanship, as well as certifications like IEC, TUV, and UL, which show conformity with international quality standards.
Quality vs. Price:
While money is an important concern, it is critical not to sacrifice quality. Investing in high-quality solar panels may have a larger initial outlay, but it can result in superior long-term performance and energy bill savings.
Get Expert Help for Installation:
When it comes to choosing the best solar panels, consulting with solar energy specialists and local installers is crucial. PricedSales can be a reliable platform to get several prices and ask the necessary questions to ensure a smooth and successful solar panel purchase and installation.
Consider the Efficiency:
When it comes to solar panels, efficiency is crucial. Because high-efficiency panels convert more sunlight into energy, you can produce more power with fewer panels. This is especially useful if your roof space is restricted.
Take Brand Reputation and Reviews into Account:
PricedSales showcases recognized solar panel manufacturers known for their quality, dependability, and customer service. Investigating consumer evaluations and experiences will give useful insights into real-world performance and assist you in selecting reputable manufacturers and buy solar panels in Nigeria.
Installation and Maintenance:
Consider the installation and maintenance requirements of the solar panels. Some panels may necessitate more regular cleaning or require special installation circumstances, so select panels that match your tastes and resources.
Determine Your Energy Requirements:
Assessing your household's energy use is another step in selecting the proper solar panels. Examine your power invoices to determine your typical monthly and annual use. This information will assist you in determining the size of the solar system required to satisfy your energy needs.
Solar Panels: The Perfect Partner for Nigerian Homes and Businesses
Choosing the proper solar panels for your Nigerian house and office is a big choice that may save you money and help the environment for years. You can make an informed choice that corresponds with your goals and assures a bright solar future.
If you want to buy solar panels in Nigeria, PricedSales is the perfect end to your search. It’s an online marketplace that lists the best solar panel sellers in Nigeria.

Nigeria will soon face a 35% increase in electricity bills
Nigeria's current electricity bill is 24 naira per kWh. If prices rise by 35%, the figure will rise to 32 naira per kWh. This may further infuriate the public, who are already complaining that dealers charge more and offer less services.   Global climate change is receiving more and more attention, and low-carbon economy is strongly supported by all countries. As a kind of sustainable clean energy, solar energy shows great development and application potential. At present, the rapid development of solar photovoltaic industry is a way to provide new energy in the future, and its practical application in life is more extensive. The operation cost is low, photovoltaic system uses solar energy to generate electricity, and the energy is free. Once installed, the photovoltaic system can provide power with little maintenance and operation cost.   10KW solar power system project in Nigeria for home use

5KW Off The Grid Solar System Packages In Nigeria
The hug advantage of off the grid solar system packages: 
1.  Off the grid solar system packages can lower consumer electricity bills and protect them from outages.
2.  An off the grid solar system packages with a large power output can power an entire home.
Tumblr media
         When you purchase an off the grid solar system packages for your family, it's also when you create more beauty for their lives.
         Our client Uzor's family works in the United States, and his mother is in Nigeria. There is often power failure in their area, which makes them have to use diesel generator.Since 2021, fuel costs have been increasing, resulting in a significant increase in household electricity costs. In order to provide his mother with stable electricity and reduce the cost of fuel power generation, Uzor contacted us.
         The 5KW off the grid solar system packages is one of the popular models for household solar power battery storage. It can simultaneously supply power to one 9000BTU air conditioner, one washing machine, one water heater, a TV, several lights, and can also supply power to household water pumps, which is particularly efficient.
           Because Uzor's total electricity consumption is not large, we have specially customized a 5KW solar power battery storage for him that is different from the conventional one.
         The freight forwarder can send the solar power battery storage to Lagos or Kano warehouses, including customs clearance work. Customers only need to pick up the solar power battery storage at the warehouse or contact the warehouse for delivery, which is very simple. Customers working in foreign countries do not need to worry about import receipt issues. And under our installation guide, their electrician also successfully installed this solar panel system for house.
        Uzor shared many photos with me, including solar panels packaged in wooden boxes. Despite only 6 panels and a distance of over 12000 kilometers, the solar panel system for house still arrived in Nigeria intact. Mars Solar is committed to providing customers with safe solar panel system for house.
