A solar roof in Nigeria
By Franklin Ossuetta / Published on Wed, 2007-09-19 18:00
A message from Nigeria: Franklin Ossuetta installed 1760 Watt solar power using 16 * 110 W panels. The system is backed up by 16 * 200 Ah-12V dc deep cycle batteries, and runs offgrid to power a television, lights, fans, refrigerator, water pump and other electronic home appliances.
The system was fully financed by the client - an obvious challenge. And it doesn't help that shipping, duty and clearing added 40% extra costs.

African countries seem to be
By bothwill / Published on Thu, 2009-07-09 15:37African countries seem to be the perfect candidates for solar roofs, there is a lot of solar energy wasting in Africa just because people can't afford building such roofs. Nevertheless there is a lot of potential on the continent and we should find a way to exploit this potential.

Well done!!

The solar market in Nigeria is still hugely untapped mainly I believe because of our overdependence on oil.
