A resourceful Nigerian man has taken control of his electricity needs by installing a solar energy system with tubular batteries at his home is now selling out power.
In a recent video, he showcased the system’s effectiveness, highlighting its ability to generate power even after a day of rain.
Sharing the Power:
The man’s innovation extends beyond his own household. He has installed a meter to monitor his neighbor’s electricity consumption, ensuring they don’t overload the system. This meter allows him to provide up to 440 watts of power to his neighbor, who primarily uses it for lighting.
Smart System, Satisfied Customer:
The system is designed to automatically cut off power if the load exceeds 440 watts for 30 seconds, protecting the equipment and ensuring continued power supply. The neighbor, according to the man, typically uses around 190 watts and only occasionally exceeds the limit when using appliances like a blender.
Cost and Inspiration:
The total cost of the solar system is estimated at N2.7 million. This story has sparked a conversation online, with many users interested in replicating this approach to achieve energy independence.
