I believe solar technology is going to be the ultimate solution for electricity supply in Nigeria. The major barrier right now is cost, but IT WILL get cheaper and same as with boreholes and water supply, the free market will take over. It’s a matter of time.
It’s a welcome development to have noticed an alternative means to power holding as Nigerians groan over none availabilities of light,but the cost should be reduced
We will review and take appropriate action.
