A Nigerian man is now enjoying solar electricity after he spent much money to have it installed.

The man posted on X, sharing the amount of money he spent to avoid depending on the national grid for electricity.

Man installs solar so he won't depend on national grid.

In his post, David Adeolu Olawuyi said he installed a 5kva hybrid inverter, a 5KVA lithium-ion battery and a 3700 watts solar panel.

He was reacting to another post highlighting the cost of solar inverter setup in Nigeria.

David said:

"5kva Hybrid Inverter - 520k. 5KVA Lithium-ion Battery - 1.250m. 3 700Watts Panel - 360k, Installation and Wiring - 150k. All these were done within the last 2 months. Don’t let them whine you o."

Everything David spent amounted to about N2.2 million. Many people said it was relatively cheap.

"Installation and wiring 150k?"

"Most of these 700w panels being sold are, in fact, 550w panels. Most of these dealers replace the sticker at the back. The best way to know is to measure the cell waffer and cell counts usually 210mm and 156 respectively for 700w. Any less than that is fake."

"People must understand that, there are brands that very highly quality and way expensive, you can’t compare felicity price with SRNE and you can’t compare SRNE with DEYE product price. Prices are not fixed just depend on brands."
