Man buys 15kVA solar inverter, mentions amount
Identified as @kingkayci0 on TikTok, the man showed the structure where he placed his panels after his landlord refused to allow him to put it on the roof.
He stated that for his solar installation and tech space setup, he spent over N10 million.
His video was captioned:
“10 million well spent … now we work different.”
He added in the comments:
“They didn’t let me do it on the roof. It’s a rented house. It wasn’t easy o. I was just lucky. everything included was even more than 10 million naira. I can break the figures if you want.
“From the video, you can see that it’s my solar and my coding workspace.. Only my coding workspace is over 4 million. How much for 11kva solar with 15kwh lithium battery, 600w solar panels and the extra wire cost (6,500 per meter) I used 40 meters. Do the math..You should know better since you’re into the system.
“How much for the carpenter woodwork, the zinc, workmanship etc? lol. What about transportation of the solar from Lagos and other little costs..? It’s more than 10 million please.. Thank you.”

In a chat with Legit.ng, a Nigerian lady, Onyedikachukwu Susan Obobom, who began using solar in 2022, shared her experience.
She said:
"I began using solar in 2022. I use it at home, and my whole experience with solar has been positive overall. Since I installed it, I've appreciated having a more dependable and cost-effective source of electricity, particularly for daily necessities. It's been a relief not to have to rely exclusively on generators/fuel or the Nepa/Phcn.
"The only major downside is on rainy or cloudy days, when there is little to no sunlight. On those days, the solar panels don't charge as much, so I have to be more careful and manage my energy consumption, such as restricting heavy appliances or prioritizing what's truly essential. Despite this, I still believe it is worthwhile.
"On sunny days, it more than makes up for it, and the consistency has greatly simplified life overall."
