A Nigerian man, who is also the CEO of aptLearn, stirred massive reactions on Monday, June 19, with his 10KVA solar system in his house.

In response to one of the questions in his comment section, the man said that his system could power his ACs, microwave, cooker, washing machine, and iron, among others.
Dry cells or tall tabular batteries?
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.

"I made this decision so late, using ba3 and inverter for over a year now without panel.. Join me in praising God because I was able to add solar panel last weekend.. Iku pa PHCN."
@yakubadekunleok said:
"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."
@drogbag1 said:
"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."
