Solar owners in Nigeria, let me tell you something nobody is talking about.
You spent ₦3M–₦8M on panels, inverter, battery. You're generating 15–20kWh a day. Your house uses maybe 8–10kWh. The rest? It sits in your battery until it's full. Then your charge controller just… stops. Your panels are literally cooking in Lagos sun producing power that goes NOWHERE.
Meanwhile, the neighbor next door is spending ₦5,000/day on fuel. The tenant upstairs is rationing between charging her phone and running a fan. The shop across the street closes shop by 4pm because they don’t have gen.
You have surplus power. They have unmet demand. There's a 10-metre cable between you. But there's no system to meter it, bill for it, or make it safe.
That's what @tspowergrid is.
We built the missing layer- a smart metering hub that sits between your solar system and your neighbors. It tracks every kilowatt-hour. Neighbors top up via WhatsApp/Telegram. You set your own price. ₦150/kWh, ₦200/kWh- whatever makes sense for your street. Earnings hit your dashboard in real time.
Here's the full picture:
THE HOST (you): You own the solar system. You install our Gateway Hub. You become a micro-utility. You earn ₦80K–₦150K/month from 3–5 neighbors.
THE NEIGHBOR: They get cheaper power than petrol gen (₦200/kWh vs ₦330+/kWh for fuel). No capital outlay. No generator maintenance. No noise. No fumes. They just tap and pay.
THE HUB: Our hardware smart meters at each connection point. It measures generation, consumption, battery state, and billing. All data flows live to our cloud platform.
THE PLATFORM: Real-time dashboard. Earnings tracking. Neighbor management. Wallet top-ups. Withdraw to bank. This is the actual business. We're not a solar company. We're a platform company. Solar is just how hosts get onboarded.
THE BILLING: Prepaid wallet system. Neighbor loads ₦2,000 via WhatsApp. Meter deducts as they consume. When wallet hits zero, power pauses. No arguments. No "I'll pay you later." No awkward conversations.
Now let me address the FEAR:
NEMSA just released new guidelines because fire incidents from solar installations are INCREASING across Nigeria. Battery explosions. Inverter overheating. Bad wiring. Mixing old and new batteries. No BMS on lithium setups. Kano's Singer Market burned twice in two weeks- solar battery explosion suspected. ₦5 BILLION in damage.
This happens when there's no monitoring. No management system. No one watching the data.
Our hub monitors your system 24/7. Battery temp. Charge cycles. Load distribution. Fault alerts go straight to your phone via the web app. This is what "managed solar" means. Not just install and pray.
THE BUSINESS MODEL:
If you don't have solar → Full Stack package. ₦6M, 5kW system, 3-month installment. Panels, inverter, lithium battery, gateway hub, meters for 3 neighbors, installation, 12-month warranty.
If you already have solar → Upgrade Kit. ₦800K+. We add the metering layer, connect your neighbors, and you start earning in days.
We take a 5% platform fee on transactions. That's it. You keep 95% of what your neighbors pay.
IBPM installers, solar companies, estate managers- we're not competing with you. We're giving your customers a reason to say yes faster. "This system pays for itself" is the most powerful sales line in solar. We make it true.
This is not a concept. The platform is live. Data loop is working. First Lagos pilot is being installed.
Be your own Power Grid.
I am involved in the estate processing of a young man who died intestate.
Word of advice:
1. Get your affairs in order; it's as simple as adding a beneficiary or joint owner on accounts.
2. Write a will or set up a trust; don't leave accounts as sole-owned. Name the trust as the beneficial owner if you have no next of kin.
3. Complete a Durable Power of Attorney for Finance and Health. Yes, two separate documents.
Trust me, you do not want your loved ones to face the ordeal of courts and financial institutions to access your benefits.
I spent 1 hour 14 minutes last night watching this, and it was worth every single second. If you’ve read the Outliers, you will enjoy this speech more.

This SHORT guide reveals:

All you need is a phone or laptop.

The Nigerian Judiciary, the Nigerian Police is a cesspool of fiendish, horrible, reprehensible vermins.
This is the committal warrant upon which Comfort was remanded at Kirikiri Prisons, at the behest of @ibomairlines.
Why is it postdated by 2 months? This is outrageously illegal.
@fkeyamo is this not shameful, to say the least? You're supposed to be a SAN, Festus. Why do you need illegal instruments to enforce a two-tiered "judgement"?
Why is Wasiu Ayinde not subjected to the same treatment?
And to @ibomairlines - I hope any Nigerian conscious of their dignity never flies your aircraft again. I definitely never will.
We can debate the sanity of that girl all we like, but new clips have shown that she was trying to leave peacefully at first.
Your hostess escalated the situation by blocking her. You held her hostage. You're not the police, you're not aviation security - you should not have held her hostage at all.
She's on the manifest, she was still within airport grounds. There's no way she could have "escaped" but you precipitated that showdown, shared clips to suit your narrative, degraded a customer by stripping her naked while applauding your staff.
You should be ashamed. @ibomairlines
Shame on all of you. Shame on you.
The justice system, the police force, Ibom airlines, NCAA, Festus. Shame shame shame.
I'm 38.
When I was young I worshipped politics, went woke (broke) & believed in the myth of equality.
Then I discovered Thomas Sowell, and he changed my life forever.
12 lessons from America's most controversial & unknown philosopher:
I spent the weekend looking at the approved 2025 Federal Budget,
A complete mess, i am being polite
Everywhere you look, its "Solar streetlight", "inverter" "classroom repairs", then "cash grants to constituents". I saw Ministries building roads, classrooms, palaces, etc. no imagination, you will see N200m to buy Keke, see projects duplicated.
For instance, "renovation and furnishing of artist hostels in Abuja" for the Ministry of Arts and Culture is duplicated six times, same amount, same budget code.
The Secretary of the Government of the Federation Budget reads like a father Christmas list, The bulk of constituency projects are in the Secretary of FGN budget. A few examples
1. N800m for "Honorarium and sitting allowance"
2. N150m for Supply and furnishing of royal fathers homes in Gombe
3. uncountable amounts for "food items"
4. uncountable solar projects
There is no coordination, no strategy, its just individual earmarks insertions to spend
I give you another example, Ministry of Foreign Affairs is spending N300m on "Provision of relief items and capacity development for IDPs in the North East" why is the Foreign Ministry spending money to take care of IDPs INSIDE Nigeria? would that not be area of responsibility of the Internal Ministry or humanitarian ministry?
Its the cash grant budget item that scares me.
Just so you understand, there are insertions, some to the amount of N300m, where a legislator is saying he wants Federal Funds to share as a grants. So what is Humanitarian Ministry doing?
The only reason a Senator will ask to be given N300m as grant but not earmarked to the Min of Humanitarian Affairs is because a grant needs less accountability, its not a road. Senator can give out N10m, pocket N290m and call it a day. That's why you see luxury homes everywhere with Rolls Royce yet zero consumption at household level
Oh I forgot, he will give N1m to Ndi Twitter to abuse anyone that ask questions
Your suffering is locally manufactured not imported.
