Is it worth buying a solar battery in Nigeria considering the cost
Solar battery investment becomes worthwhile when comparing against Nigeria's unreliable grid and expensive generator dependency. The decision depends on your current power situation, monthly fuel costs, and long-term planning horizon.
Relying solely on grid electricity in Nigeria often entails 12-20 monthly outages lasting 2-12 hours each, with costs ranging from ₦50-80 per kWh when available. These interruptions can lead to food spoilage, reduced productivity, and business disruptions. While some households might handle these sporadic interruptions, they present significant challenges for businesses and professionals who rely on steady, reliable power.
If relying on a generator for backup power, Nigerian households consume 3-5 kWh daily during outages, using 2-4 liters of petrol at ₦785 per liter. This results in monthly fuel costs of ₦30,000-60,000, totaling ₦360,000-720,000 yearly. The ₦1,131,649 POW-LIO48100-16S battery offers a quieter, cost-effective alternative, recovering its cost in 21-41 months and providing greater savings, especially for small businesses with higher energy demands.
