Horrible nights of no power supply // The Best possible solution with reliable and cheap Solar power supply

It will be a great privilege for me if I am eventually able to set up a solar power supply for myself regardless of the cost. Most times people put forward the temporal high cost of items as against their importance and permanent usefulness. Solar power supply is a very cheap source of power if we look at it from the long-term purpose and its dire importance. Purchases and installation are usually very expensive at the moment of installation, but over a long-term period, we will realize how cheap this can be as a source of power supply compared to other diesel generators or even the electric power supply bill we get confronted with.

The fact that there is an abundant supply of sunshine here makes solar power freely accessible to all. Utilizing solar power sources over the ranges of 2-4 years will pay for itself compared to when you have to purchase diesel to power up your generators over those lengths of days or even pay the power bills for the epileptic supply being offered in the country.

Reminiscing about the horrible days I slept in darkness without electric power supply and no battery in my phone to use as a flashlight or even a rechargeable lamp in the house at night brings back such an ugly memory.

I had to keep the windows open to manage the light from the moon's reflection, hoping that I would not step on a cockroach on my way to the toilets or even the more deadly scorpion, as my room had been plagued by scorpions at the time.

Another horrible night of no power supply I have experienced was when the usual electric grid collapsed, a challenge often experienced every now and then by our electric power supply company, making the lights go off for hours or days. That night there was utter darkness; my gadgets were down as usual, which would have been useful as a source of light, and yet again all our Torchlight and rechargeable lamps were dead as well. To make matters worse, my brother was terribly sick and had experienced a seizure that night.

I was completely broken as we screamed out to neighbors for help; someone brought us their light before a family friend eventually assisted us in rushing the boy to the hospital. We were running around in darkness, and it was very easy to sustain injury. Ever since that night I have vowed to get some more sources of light for the house and never to allow the bulbs to go out.

There are cheap solar gadgets that can keep one's bulbs on throughout the 12 hours of the night at least. Having made inquiries, I realized that the price of installing such costs 400k naira. Knowing the importance of power supply after those horrible experiences, I am hoping to get that sorted as part of my goals for the year.

Recounting the numerous times I was offline and couldn't blog because the power supply was yet another issue. We need light for our PCs or mobile phones to be on at least. Through the help of a friend, Hive account@terganftp, I was able to acquire a 46mAH power bank, which has been useful ever since, but I'm just surprised to see that our power supply can go off for days and even the power bank will be out of battery completely.

The little solar gadgets I have envisaged purchasing are also compatible with the power bank, and with that I can charge most of the low-power gadgets in the house. I do not have a need for a refrigerator or any of the high-power-consumption gadgets. All I need is to keep a light bulb on and my gadgets. In the long run, paying $266/400k naira will be worth it for me over the years rather than servicing an electric company that isn't reliable.

The concluding part of this blog has it to say that even Aso Rock, similar to the White House, is considering an installation of solar power. If the presidential villa chose to run on such, it only means that they are aware of the power challenges and are equally affected. Rather than find a solution to this, they are equally seeking to use this alternative power supply. Solar power supply will eventually be cheap and free for all to use, especially when you have the funds to install the ones with larger capacity to power up all the heavy machines in the home.
