Indigenous renewable energy Company, GreenPower Overseas Limited,says Nigerians can now purchase electricity generated by the solar generator using their mobile phones.
This will making it easy and convenient for buyers and users to access clean energy in the country,the company said recently at the pilot launch of its IoT-based Pay as You Go solar generator in Ekiti State.
The company said in a statement that, the “innovative system allows customers to purchase electricity generated by the solar generator using their mobile phones, making it easy and convenient for them to access clean energy.”
The Pay as You Go solar generator system is said to compose of a solar panel array, battery storage, and IoT-enabled monitoring and control of the system.
The system, according to the company, generates electricity using the energy from the sun, which is stored in a battery.
It added:“Customers can purchase system at zero deposit and make monthly installment payments over an agreed period of time. The system uses IoT technology to monitor the repayment schedule and automatically cuts off power when the customer’s payment is overdue. This allows customers to have a better control of their energy consumption and expenses.”
“The Pay as You Go system is designed to make solar power more accessible to people in the rural areas who may not have access to the traditional power grid. These communities often rely on expensive and polluting fossil fuels for their energy needs, but the new system provides a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative.
“The Pay as You Go system provides a more reliable source of electricity for its customers, as it eliminates the need for them to rely on inconsistent and unreliable power from the grid. The pilot launch of the Pay as You Go system has been met with positive feedback from customers, who appreciate the convenience and reliability it provides. GreenPower plans to expand the program to other parts of Nigeria in the coming months to provide more people with access to clean, sustainable energy.”
The company’s move is seen as a major step forward in bringing clean, renewable energy to people in Nigeria who need it the most and it could serve as a model for other countries working to improve access to sustainable energy sources.
Through this innovative IoT-based system tagged SolarCredit is empowering people in remote communities to take control of their energy consumption and costs, while also promoting clean and sustainable energy development.
The regional solar energy giant in October, 2021 won the United States African Development Foundation’s (USADF) $50,000 grant and $50,000 ALL ON facility for the off-grid Energy Challenge for 2021.
The Off-grid energy challenge is aimed to support companies in the renewable energy sector across Africa in other to increase access to cheap and clean energy by rural communities.
The solar energy giant provides private and industrial renewable energy solutions to homes, factories, schools and business organizations.
GreenPower has over the last 16 years developed strategic partnerships with global leaders in the renewable energy industry such as SolarEdge, SMA, AXITEC Solar, SolaRun, Fiamm Battery and Ingesco Lightning to deliver high-quality energy solution to Nigerians.
Established in 2006, GreenPower has become a leading renewable energy and Electromechanical Engineering company in Nigeria. And as a global player and regional leader, it provides high-quality Solar, Power Electronic (UPS, Inverters, rectifiers) and MEP (Mechanical, Electrical and Plumbing) solutions to a wide range of sectors, including Education institutions, Banking industry, Healthcare, Hospitalities, Real Estate, Oil & Gas and so on.
