A Nigerian man has shared his experience after purchasing a 2.5kVA solar system for N2.2 million, detailing how he overcame the challenges of expensive fuel and unreliable generators. The post, which went viral on X, highlighted his journey from frustration to satisfaction with his new energy solution.
Man Purchases Solar for N2.2 Million
The man, posting under the handle @itsheadyagain on X, recounted his persistent problems with a faulty generator that consumed costly fuel and frequently broke down. He expressed frustration with mechanics who accepted payment without providing lasting repairs. These issues convinced him that switching to solar power was essential for a stable home electricity supply.
He explained that buying a solar system outright was financially challenging, so he sought a company offering a flexible payment plan. He found Solarcorpenergy, which allowed customers to save toward installation and pay half the cost upfront before setup. Under this arrangement, he paid a deposit of N1.1 million, and the system was installed within 48 hours.
The 2.5kVA system now powers several household appliances, including a refrigerator, electric fans, internet equipment, a television, and laptops. He noted that he is paying the remaining balance in manageable monthly installments.
No Regrets About the Switch
The man expressed no regrets, describing the outcome as a relief compared to his previous situation. He linked the improvement directly to solar energy, which eliminated fuel expenses and generator faults. In his words: "Fed up with buying expensive fuel for a gen that constantly coughs like it has asthma, and dealing with mechanics who take money and run, I knew I needed solar. But dropping the full cash upfront wasn't easy. That's when I found Solarcorpenergy. Their 2.5kVA system for N2.2M was perfect for me, and they have a plan where you save up and install at 50%. I signed up, paid the N1.1M deposit, and they completed my installation within 48 hours! Now my fridge, fans, WiFi, TV, and laptops run smoothly while I comfortably split the balance over a few months."
