Why do you need to go solar in Nigeria?

Have you ever wondered why we all need solar in our homes, place of works, hotels, event centers and other places where electricity is been used?

Due to the interrupted and lack of power supply in the country, one need to go solar to enable uninterrupted power supply. With the help of Solar when installed, one is 100% sure of a 24/7 power supply because it’s a renewable energy that provides electricity with the help of a sun which has more energy.

With solar, you don’t need to worry about lack of electricity, high costs of electricity and weather.

Solar gives you a maximum satisfaction.

Let look at the four major reasons why we need to go solar below:

1. Reduces Electricity bills/Eliminate Electricity Bills– Solar is an advantage when it comes to reduces or even eliminating of electricity bills in your environment. Electricity costs can make up a large portion of your monthly expenses as a business owner or a house owner but with a solar panel system been installed in your home or place of work there will be a free generation of steady power supply for your system entire 25+year lifecycle. In the past ten years, there have been a high rate of residential electricity prices by an average of three percent annually and by investing in solar energy system, you can fix your electricity rate and protect against unpredictable increases in electricity costs. With solar, no fuel to burn which means after solar has been installed and operational costs are quite low compared to other forms of power generation. Fuel isn’t required and solar power can create large amounts of electricity without the uncertainty and expense of securing a fuel supply. There won’t be a problem when you don’t produce 100percent of the energy you consume because solar enables deduction of your utility bills and you will definitely save money for future purposes.
2. Solar Is Clean and Safe– With the use of solar you are assured of a safe alternative which can replace current fossil fuels like coal and gas for generation of electricity that produce air, water and land pollution. Traditional electricity relies heavily on fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas which are known to be bad for the environment. Let take a look at our country where generator as an example is an alternative to most business owners and house owners which causes air pollution and noise in the environment which is not safe for human health and cannot be compared to that of solar which eliminate these unsafe, unclean consequences from using conventional fossil fuels that causes air pollution/noise. Solar doesn’t make use of fuel but the sunlight which generates energy to the panel unlike generator which needs fuel to enable it function and as well causes air pollution to the environment.
3. Solar Is A Free Source of Energy-  Solar generates it power from the sun which is a free source of energy that cannot be monopolize with it provision of more energy to the panel compared to electricity. We often associate solar energy with electricity, which is acquired through PV panels but it is also advisable to use the energy generated from the sun for heating purposes. This process is accomplished by deploying solar thermal systems that simply convert the sunlight into heating solutions. Once you have solar panel up your roof, you have technically reached an energy independent status and a safe/easy path to contribute to a sustainable future.
4. Increase Employee Morale- Employees share in the success and contribution of the organization. With solar, employees feel relax while working without having the fear of power supply going off which also makes them operate responsibly and as well makes work faster and effective by enabling customers maximum satisfaction. Going solar as a business owner tends to give your employees the ability to manage the customers by giving a better forecast, good purchasing decisions, creating goodwill and thereby improving business results because of its uninterrupted power supply and its high energy capability which is been gotten from the sun. Companies that care about their employees tends to have lower turnover rates, more engaged employees and higher levels of morale.

  Conclusion:

Solar is known to be a renewable, clean source of electricity and can be used in a small scale, extra electricity can be stored in a battery or fed back into the electricity grid. Solar is a safe alternative which can replace current fossil fuels like coal and gas for generation of electricity that produce air, water and land pollution. The use of solar energy eliminates these unsafe, unclean consequences from using conventional fossils fuels.

Moreover, the sun gives off far more energy than we will ever need in our environment.
