Solar For My Home
Tired of blackouts, noisy generators, and constantly buying fuel? Solar power is becoming the go-to solution for many homes looking for a reliable, silent, and cost-effective alternative to traditional electricity.
If you’re thinking of switching to solar but don’t know where to start, this guide will walk you through the basics – what it is, how it works, how much it costs, and what to consider before making the move.
Why Go Solar?
Let’s be honest – power supply isn’t reliable, fuel prices are high, and running a generator every day is not only stressful but expensive. Here’s why solar is a smart move:
Main Components of a Solar System
A basic solar setup includes:
1. Solar Panels
These capture sunlight and convert it into electricity.
2. Charge Controller
Regulates how power flows to the batteries to prevent overcharging.
3. Inverter
Converts the stored power (DC) to regular power (AC) for your home appliances.
4. Deep Cycle Batteries
Store electricity for use when there’s no sunlight.
5. Mounting Structuree
Used to install panels on the roof or in an open space.

How Does It Work?
1. Sunlight hits the solar panels, generating DC electricity.
2. The inverter changes DC to AC.
3. Electricity flows into your home to power appliances.
4. Excess electricity can be stored in batteries or sent back to the grid (if you’re on a net metering plan).
5. At night or cloudy days, you use stored energy or draw from the grid.
What Size System Do You Need?
That depends on what you want to power. Here’s a basic guide:
Lights, fan, TV
Add fridge, decoder, router
Full home: fridge, freezer, pump, AC
500W – 1KW
1.5KW – 2.5KW
3KW – 10KW+
1-2 batteries
2-4 batteries
4+ batteries
Tip: Start small and expand as needed.
How Much Does It Cost?
Prices vary depending on quality and installer. As of 2025, here’s a rough breakdown:
1KW
2.5KW
5kw
Lights, fan, TV
+ fridge, decoder
+ freezer, water pump, extra appliances
₦500,000 – ₦800,000
2-4 batteries
₦2.5M – ₦4M+
This includes panels, inverter, batteries, installation, and wiring.
