When a person with a 5KVA solar system doubted him and said his system does not work with his blender, it was pointed out that he uses wet (tall tabular) batteries that only allow for a 50% discharge rate.
Speaking with Aanu, a solar user, on the cost-saving feature of solar electricity, he said that having a system is not cheap. In his words:
"Before a person can set it up, the person has to be rich. And it depends on the appliances you have in your home. When I did my 4.8 KVA, I spent over N1m, aside from the cost of the panels. And despite that, I still do not put all the loads I have in my house on it. Not many people can afford that even though it is green energy."

"Did 5kVA also with four batteries and 12 solar panels, once I plug blender immediately the low battery alarms is triggered. Without PHCN doesn't last till the next morning."

"Where FG failed is the distribution of prepaid metre. They should give prepaid meter free or at least at the price to the electricity bill. With that, I can decide to shutdown everything if the bills are killing. Still on postpaid and the bills are crazy."
@Momopee2 asked:
"Pls how does this work, do you disconnect govt electricity completely or you still keep it? Is there a fee you still have to pay govt monthly even if you are completely disconnected? Thanks."
