As the name implies or better still in a layman's language, solar power is the power obtained or generated directly from the
sunlight directly or indirectly or a combination of both. It is an alternative
source of power supply to that generated through the public power grid. Inverter, on the other hand is
an electronic device that changes a direct current (DC) to alternating current
(AC) while a solar power system consists majorly of a solar panels, a charge controller, batteries and inverter.
The supply
of regular and stable electricity to the teeming Nigerian populace has been a
major problem confronting the Nigerian government from day one. The National
Electric Power Authority recorded a total failure in its responsibility to
provide stable and reliable electricity to Nigerians; therefore privatization and deregulation of the power industry was adopted as the probable solution to put an end to
this lingering issue. The power holding company of Nigeria [PHCN] came in as
the promising private company to put this issue of erratic and unreliable power
supply to bed and put smiles on the faces of Nigerians but so far the story has
been the same as obtainable during the NEPA era, there is no sign of any
improvement, nothing has changed. Nigerians pay heavily for power they don’t
consume, PHCN official’s extort the Nigerian masses at will, they manipulate
meter readings and charge the owners substantial amount of money while in some
cases they just arrive at a huge estimate and dole out crazy bills to the
owners with instructions to pay before a certain deadline. Those who fail to
pay up before such deadline usually have their power disconnected until they
pay up with a connection fee of #2000 or more. In most cases, they even go around with
the Nigerian police [no longer Nigerian police force] to prevent any resistance
from any aggrieved persons or groups. What an injustice to the common man!
Against this backdrop, it has therefore become imperative for the teeming Nigerian populace
to embrace solar power and inverter system as an alternative source of
electricity supply in our homes, offices, hotels, industries, etc, in order to
ensure the availability of good, stable and reliable power supply and also get
value for the money spent on electricity consumption. Having said this, there
is no denying the fact that solar power system doesn’t have its own
shortcomings but I tell you with all sense of honesty and objectivity that its
advantages outweighs its disadvantages in no small measures and that explains
why Nigerians are gradually buying into the idea of solar panel and inverter
installation as an alternative source of electricity supply to run their homes,
offices, hotels, companies,
to mention a few.
However, proper care should be taken when hiring the technician or installation
personnel to do the installation as the wrong choice of installer my spell doom
for the client. It could lead to damage of important electronics in the house
and in some severe cases it could lead to fire accident and even loss of lives
and/or properties. There are so many factors to be put into consideration
before the installation of a solar power system can be carried out, some of
which are listed below
(1) Inverter
load selection
(2) Time
duration of the inverter when switched on
(3) The need
for a charge controller
(4) The
capacity of both the solar panel and the charge controller to be used
