Nigerian lady shares price of solar system
In the video, she explained that the high cost of fuel and the stress of running a generator pushed her to seek an alternative power source. According to her, she used to spend about N7,000 on fuel every two days.
She explained that she opted for the Itel Power Tank solar system.
"I stopped waiting for this country to function. As a content creator living in Benin City, Nigeria, I got a solar system—the Itel Power Tank that has been the talk of the town. You don't know how much I spend on fuel daily; most times, I use N7,000 worth of fuel for just two days," she said.

Sharing the cost, the woman stated that she spent less than N600,000 to purchase the power unit, solar panels, and installation.
She said in the TikTok video:
"So yes, it’s 100% worth it. Instead of buying fuel—you know how much fuel you would burn until daybreak if you were to use it normally—and with the entire generator noise, I just can’t. It’s totally worth your money. With less than N600,000 plus, you have installed it, bought the Power Tank, the panels, and everything you need for installation."
According to her, the system can power basic household appliances such as a laptop, television, lighting, and fans. She also mentioned some content creation tools the power system can support as a content creator.
