14 Solar Deals, 1,125MW Promised, Zero Delivered: What Happened? https://t.co/C7K1TGUPJ4

[CHIGO @iamChigoo]

Facts over sentiment.

@ibroraheem Even though if you have to factor the cost to cover for the same 24hrs using blended cost, as someone in Europe, direct currency conversion….Nigeria is more expensive, I agree it’s lazy maths. Good analysis anyways.

@sonickay @bigbrovar But that dashboard doesn’t say anything rather than daily offset which can be calculated using whatever metrics. not refuting the claim, just trying to be objective here!

@Chi_Neyo @oyeolsakin11538 @bigbrovar I don't see anything wrong in his comments, he mentioned "normal" house.... consuming 2200kwh /month is not normal household consumption.....

@arojinle1 @sayekeen Also witnessed this in early 2000s, in some cases related to freshly harvested fruits on the road side, you are allowed eat, but you must leave the peels by the side, to signal to the owner it was not stolen, but eaten by someone either hungry or thirsty.

@ONPOINT_J @ng_gwg @Chude_ND1 I really don't want to engage further, but it seems you don't get the point...how else do I put it in more simpler terms, that the battery is d only source of energy in the setup, d "generator" is only converting it from chemical to mechanical, then to electrical. Not efficient!

[Bamidele @bmd_flo]

@ONPOINT_J @ng_gwg @Chude_ND1 I guess you have to consult your secondary school physics textbooks, read a bit about thermodynamics and energy conversion. No further explanation is required. Thank you!

[Bamidele @bmd_flo]

@ONPOINT_J @ng_gwg @Chude_ND1 That's not the point, battery's life cycle is different from discharge cycle, eventually get drained doesn't mean it'll support the load for a long time. Point is the generator itself is a load, cannot self sustain without external source and would get drained in a short time.

[Bamidele @bmd_flo]

@IZUNNA007 @Chude_ND1 Oh man, how else can this be explained, the total energy generated by the system cannot be higher than that stored in battery.

[Bamidele @bmd_flo]

@ONPOINT_J @ng_gwg @Chude_ND1 Its just a matter of time, the battery eventually get drained, the so called "Generator" is essentially working like an inverter with losses in greater magnitude. You still need to charge the batteries with external source!

@Godfrey_OC @Digitronocj @Politicols We are waiting, the timeline doesn't line up, p proof, that's how people get misled, thinking investing in stock market is a GRQS. Anyways show evidence otherwise you are a pure scam!

[Bamidele @bmd_flo]

@DunnFrosty @markessien Did you even read those texts at all or you are just unnecessarily bitter?

Solving the problem is a shared responsibility no one can run away from, except you are part of the beneficiaries of the current setup!

If you already have a solar setup, congratulations! But that doesn't provide immunity to the wider economic implications of poor grid infrastructure, every product and services depends on stable grid and electricity prices.

Go solar! go solar!! everyone is shouting in current Nigeria situation won't solve the fundamental infrastructural problems, we've always been here, solar is only replacing petrol and diesel generators

[Bamidele @bmd_flo]

Let's not even delve into that lack of expertise and bad installation practices in the country.

[Bamidele @bmd_flo]

Solar has it's own limitations, beyond it's unpredictability, there are both technical and commercial constraints which makes it impractical for every homes and business to have a solar setup.

[Bamidele @bmd_flo]

2/
but not solving the foundational issues, whether you like it or not, we are all paying the premium price for unstable grid directly or indirectly.
