What he's dreaming is very doable for average households if two things happen:government should grant solar subsidy and citizens should cut their appetite for energy. Yes, running 3 A/Cs will be a tough call for an economical system but a reasonably sized system can run your moderate house if you get some energy conservation education, e.g buying energy saving A/Cs and running them at 24 degrees C instead of putting the setting at 16 degrees C and looking for a thick duvet to cover.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02374438469354816834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163442462867909525.post-54056197634582050362017-02-01T08:41:45.835+01:002017-02-01T08:41:45.835+01:00God help us in this country, electricity impossibl...God help us in this country, electricity impossible, pmb we are waiting oooo PSAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10897406956856702216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7163442462867909525.post-91120734519101289632017-02-01T08:32:47.788+01:002017-02-01T08:32:47.788+01:00With all due respect, Prof Osinbajo does not know ...With all due respect, Prof Osinbajo does not know what he is talking about here. Solar power is fine for your lighting and other light loads, But I am yet to see a home anywhere in the tropical world where you can economically run 3 air-conditioners from solar power for an appreciable length of time. I have in my house a 5kVA solar power system, installed 2 years ago at a cost of about N1m. But if I try to run even one a/c off that system, it would trip within one hour. Battery technology just isn't there yet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
