Man purchases solar for N2.2 million
The man, who posted under the handle @itsheadyagain on X, narrated how persistent problems with his generator had left him frustrated.
He explained that he had been spending heavily on fuel while also contending with frequent breakdowns.
According to him, the experience had been compounded by dealings with mechanics who accepted payment and failed to provide lasting solutions.
These challenges had convinced him that a change was necessary if he was to maintain a stable power supply at home.
He stated that purchasing a solar system outright had not been financially straightforward, so he had looked for an option that allowed him to spread the cost.
He said he found a company offering a plan that enabled customers to save towards installation and pay half of the agreed amount upfront before the system was fitted.
Under that arrangement, he paid a deposit and had the setup completed within two days.
The system he chose was rated at 2.5 kilovolt-amperes and was installed for a total of N2.2 million naira.
He noted that the installation had allowed him to run several household appliances without interruption.

Among the items he listed were a refrigerator, electric fans, internet equipment, a television set, and laptops.
He added that he was now paying the remaining balance in instalments over a period of months, which he found manageable.
The man said he had no regrets about the decision and described the outcome as a relief compared to his previous situation.
He linked the improvement directly to the switch to solar, noting that the change had removed both the burden of fuel expenses and the uncertainty of generator faults.
In his words:
"Fed up with buying expensive fuel for a gen that constantly coughs like it has asthma, and dealing with mechanics who take money and run, I knew I needed solar. But dropping the full cash upfront wasn't easy. That’s when I found Solarcorpenergy. Their 2.5kVA system for ₦2.2M was perfect for me, and they have a plan where you save up and install at 50%. I signed up, paid the ₦1.1M deposit, and they completed my installation within 48 hours! Now my fridge, fans, WiFi, TV, and laptops run smoothly while I comfortably split the balance over a few months."
