Man shares amount for solar system setup
Identified as @samtechie on TikTok, the man narrated his experience getting his solar system.
His words:
“I spent 4.5 million naira getting my own solar setup few weeks ago and trust me, this is a setup a lot of people will pay 5.5, 6 million to get or even above. So how is that even possible?
"The truth is that the solar industry is probably the most dubious industry I have ever seen. There are just a lot of people out here trying to sell you fake lies and promises that are not even possible
"For instance, telling you that your solar generators can power 2 ACs or is it even the scam surrounding the sale of fake solar panels all over Nigeria?"

"Firstly your system is nice congrats but know this 1, 8 unit of 620watt is 4960 in pv which has exceed the inverter rating per strings your system is at risk and secondly that system is missing some protection device which is wrong make sure your installer number is close by good luck."
Architect August said:
"I tell people, buy materials yourself, most dealers will tell you what you need for installation. Buh you see these installaters, they will make solar overly expensive if you leave them to do all the job."

"First of all 98% of solar panels in the market aren’t fake, and note jinko are not the only good panels in the market, secondly your 8 units of 620W panels is not sufficient for your battery and your load too."
