After her story about solar purchase and installation went viral online, Legit.ng contacted Alero Okeh to ask her a series of questions to better understand her position.
When asked why she decided to install a solar system instead of relying on electricity, she told Legit.ng:
"I decided to get solar because I got tired of depending on NEPA. As a content creator and a remote worker, relying on NEPA was very stressful for me. Sometimes I literally had to wait until light came by 12 a.m. or 1 a.m. to shoot. This picture you used as the cover, where I’m wearing a black gown, was shot between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m. on that particular day. So I wanted a more reliable source of electricity for my everyday needs. I also didn’t want to keep spending money on fuel for a generator because, aside from the noise it makes, it’s expensive to maintain, and I only get to have light when I buy fuel. So no money to buy fuel equals no light. Unlike solar, which can charge with sunlight and even a generator."
Alero Okeh spoke further as she shared her experience after using the solar inverter for about a month.
Her statement:
"So far, it has been performing really well. I’ve been using it for about a month now, and I honestly have no complaints. It serves the required purpose, and I’m happy with it."
Alero Okeh also mentioned some other items she powers with it, aside from her TV and fridge:
"Aside from a TV and fridge, it charges my gadgets, including my speaker. It powers my fan, my lights when I want to shoot, my blender, and a lot of other day-to-day things. Plus, it gives me constant light. I haven’t really tried it with a lot of other things like an AC, but it doesn’t carry my heater. It might also carry an air conditioner when managed properly with other appliances because you can’t put on an AC and also a fridge at the same time. The box is only 500 watts. If you need a solar system that will power bigger appliances, get a bigger one."
Following her experience, Legit.ng asked if she would ever recommend a solar system to people.
Her response:
"Yes, I would recommend it 100%, especially to people looking for a more reliable power supply. My advice would be to compare prices before buying, get a good solar box. Don’t say because it’s cheap you will now buy one that will burn or blow when thunder strikes. Understand the specifications of what you are paying for because there are a lot of things online. Some say don’t use a 590W panel with it, some say they use a 600W panel with it, while others say only a 410W panel is recommended. Know exactly what appliances you want to power, and get a good installer because the way mine was installed, if I forget to turn off my heater when they take the light, it’ll go off or not even come on at all. Then I’ll know that there’s something heavy that’s on; that’s why it’s not picking."
"My installer has been using it for a long time and has also been installing it for people, so he knew the right panel to buy and a lot of other things.
Plus, always switch off your solar system when it’s raining with thunderstorms. Lightning might strike the panel and damage your solar system."
