Why Solar Is the Cheapest Power Source for Homes in Nigeria

Introduction

Nigeria is facing one of the highest energy costs in Africa.
Your electricity bill keeps rising.
Fuel prices keep increasing.
Generators break down often.
And PHCN supply is unreliable.

With these challenges, many homes are switching to solar β€” and for good reason:

πŸ‘‰ Solar is now the cheapest and most reliable power source for Nigerian homes.

In this guide, Solarzone Nigeria explains why solar beats diesel, petrol, and even NEPA in long-term cost, reliability, and efficiency.
