Benefits of solar energy

As earlier stated, many businesses and households are currently turning to solar. This is because of the numerous benefits solar power has over traditional energy sources.

If you are planning on going solar, here is a compiled list of the advantages of using solar in business or home.

Reduced Electricity Bills

In Nigeria, electricity bills are a nightmare for business owners, and the worst part is, they keep rising.

Businesses use numerous gadgets that consume lots of power, making business owners pay thousands of dollars.

The introduction of solar energy in Nigeria has, however, helped business owners reduce their energy cost, hence improving the total budget of the organization.

Low-Maintenance

Another advantage of using solar is low maintenance. Solar Systems require almost no maintenance. All you need to do is wipe the panels periodically to keep them in good shape.

Fewer Power Outages

The traditional energy sources are commonly known for unexpected power blackouts which get business owners into serious problems such as missing out on task deadlines etc.

On the contrary, solar comes with reliable power, thereby enhancing the level of your grid system.

Environmental Friendly

Another important advantage of using solar energy in Nigeria is that it does not emit any gases that are common in greenhouses. Thus, making our present and future environment safe and habitable.

Solar Panel Cost in Nigeria

The cost of purchasing solar panel in Nigeria starts from N6,000 to N200,000 depending on the watt, quality If brand and location

What to Consider before Choosing Solar Panels?

Solar installation is a long-term investment. If you are considering switching to solar, you must take note of the following;

  • If your rooftop is big enough and how much sunlight it gets.
  • The size of the panel system. It’s important to ensure the size is large enough to cover your business energy needs.
  • The reputation of their prospective providers and their price quotes.
