You spent hundreds of thousands (maybe millions) installing that shiny solar setup — the panels, the inverter, the batteries — and now you’re proud of your energy independence. But here’s a harsh truth: you might be slowly destroying your solar system without even realizing it. Most users in Nigeria are making simple mistakes every single…
When a client looks at a solar installation, they usually see one thing:“Is the light on?” When an installer looks at the same system, they see a dozen silent warning signs—most of which clients never notice until something fails. This gap in perception is one of the biggest reasons solar systems struggle long after installation….
The Call That Always Sounds the Same If you’ve been in the solar industry long enough, you’ve probably received this call: “Please, my solar system is not working. The last installer didn’t do it well. Can you help me fix it?” It sounds simple, right? A quick inspection, a few component swaps, maybe a new…
Solar systems don’t fail overnight. In many cases, they are poorly planned for seasonal changes. A system that works perfectly in one season can struggle in another—not because the components are bad, but because seasonal solar variations were ignored during design. Understanding and planning for these changes is one of the key differences between average…
If you’ve watched enough solar tutorials online, you’ll notice a pattern. Most of them focus on connecting panels, batteries, inverters, and charge controllers. They show wiring diagrams, component lists, and sometimes basic calculations. But when systems start failing in real life, many installers and users realize something important was missing. This article covers the critical…
One of the most common problems I see in solar installations today has nothing to do with bad products. It’s installers not reading manuals before installation. I see it when systems throw error codes during startup.I see it when inverters shut down a few hours after installation.I see it when batteries fail far earlier than…
The Truth Nobody Wants to Tell You About Solar Installation in Nigeria If you’ve ever bought a solar system that didn’t last as promised — congratulations, you’ve probably been a victim of the solar sizing scam sweeping across Nigeria right now. It’s not that solar power doesn’t work. It’s that most people are sold systems…
Lithium batteries have become the backbone of modern solar systems in Nigeria. They charge faster, last longer, deliver deeper discharge, and perform far better than traditional lead-acid batteries. But as demand grows, the Nigerian market is now flooded with many brands — both original and fake. Choosing the wrong battery can lead to poor backup…
Switching your borehole pump to solar is one of the smartest ways to cut energy costs and enjoy uninterrupted water supply—especially with the cost of diesel, petrol, and unstable PHCN power.But the biggest question everyone asks is: “How many solar panels do I need to power my borehole pump?” In this guide, you’ll get a…
The dry season should be the best time for solar power. Clear skies, strong sunlight, and long days — perfect charging conditions, right? But many Nigerians notice the opposite: “Why is my solar charging slow?”“Why is my battery low even with bright sun?”“Why is my inverter tripping more often?” The truth is simple: Solar panels…
