A Nigerian woman who wanted reliable electricity for her home has spent over N600k to install solar power.

Her installer, who worked on her project, shared a video capturing the moment he affixed her panels to the house roof.

Why use solar on old roof?

While he (@teextratechnology) said the woman installation put an end to her struggle with a fuel generator, people noticed other things from the clip.

The woman's house looked old, with wood and roofing sheets used as a makeshift window. Her roof was also rusty.

People wondered why she would spend N650k on a solar when she could use the same money to improve her house.

Is solar energy good for business?

Towards the end of the video, the installer showed that the woman would be using the solar system to power her freezer with cold drinks for sale.

There were people who believed the woman made the best decision to improve her business first, rather than spending such an amount to upgrade the old building.

Ishorlaade said:

"The right decision I made this year is closing my eye and doing solar inverter. I use 17k worth of fuel every week to power my Gen just so I can work but it all ended the very day I did my Inverter. If you are working from home and still using generator, then you are sleeping on it. I did mine for 1.3m and it carries everything at home including washing machine. It is worth it if you have the funds to run it."

jooda and associates said:

"I am very sure is one mama that is selling cold something in the whole community that did it for her own business."

The installer replied:

"Yes ooo, she took smart move."
