Eco-regen Nigeria limited is a Renewable Energy company with specialization in hybrid Solar energy, Biomass energy systems, Waste to energy plant, Land-Fill Gas Plants and Wind Energy.
As Nigeria continues to desire steady and uninterrupted power supply, there is the need to go beyond the construction of gas power plants and also look into alternative technologies especially renewable energy sources to power rural homes which constitute higher percentage of the Nigerian population (about 60%).
Nigeria is considered one of the biggest economies in Africa with more than 182 million people, yet about 55% of the population has no access to grid-connected electricity.
Access to electricity is one target the Federal Government said it is pursuing with vigour.
At least over 80 million Nigerians are yet to have access to electricity, according to the World Bank.
In this regard, the Federal Government recently launched the N140 billion Solar Power Naija scheme targeted at providing five million connections that will benefit 25 million Nigerians while creating 250,000 jobs
The REA said the scheme signified its commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 20 per cent by 2030, when compared to the “business-as-usual” levels.
Why Solar
1. Solar power is pollution free and causes no greenhouse gases to be emitted after installation
Reduced dependence on foreign oil and fossil fuels
Renewable clean power that is available every day of the year, even cloudy days produce some power
2. Return on investment unlike paying for utility bills
Virtually no maintenance as solar panels last over 30 years
3. Creates jobs by employing solar panel manufacturers, solar installers, etc. and in turn helps the economy
4. Excess power can be sold back to the power company if grid intertied
5. Ability to live grid free if all power generated provides enough for the home / building
6. Can be installed virtually anywhere; in a field to on a building
7. Use batteries to store extra power for use at night
Solar can be used to heat water, power homes and building, even power cars
Safer than traditional electric current
8. Efficiency is always improving so the same size solar that is available today will become more efficient tomorrow
9. Aesthetics are improving making the solar more versatile compared to older models; i.e. printing, flexible, solar shingles, etc.
10. Federal grants, tax incentives, and rebate programs are available to help with initial costs
11. No trenching is needed since the solar can be close to or at the place of installation
12. Reliable and consistent power supply
13. Eco-friendly
14. Cheap and affordable
Analysts have revealed that solar panel prices are decreasing at such an alarming rate they could get even cheaper than experts had predicted
15. Free and abundant energy source
Advantages of Solar Energy
1. Renewable Energy Source
Among all the benefits of solar panels, the most important thing is that solar energy is a truly renewable energy source. It can be harnessed in all areas of the world and is available every day. We cannot run out of solar energy, unlike some of the other sources of energy.
Solar energy will be accessible as long as we have the sun, therefore sunlight will be available to us for at least 5 billion years when according to scientists the sun is going to die.
2. Reduces Electricity Bills
Since you will be meeting some of your energy needs with the electricity your solar system has generated, your energy bills will drop. How much you save on your bill will be dependent on the size of the solar system and your electricity or heat usage.
For example, if you are a business using commercial solar panels this switch can have huge benefits because the large system size can cover large chunks of your energy bills.
Moreover, not only will you be saving on the electricity bill, but there is also a possibility to receive payments for the surplus energy that you export back to the grid through the Smart Export Guarantee (SEG). If you generate more electricity than you use (considering that your solar panel system is connected to the grid).
3. Diverse Applications
Solar energy can be used for diverse purposes. You can generate electricity (photovoltaics) or heat (solar thermal). Solar energy can be used to produce electricity in areas without access to the energy grid, to distil water in regions with limited clean water supplies and to power satellites in space.
Solar energy can also be integrated into the materials used for buildings. Not long ago Sharp introduced transparent solar energy windows.
Solar Energy Benefits
4. Low Maintenance Costs
Solar energy systems generally don’t require a lot of maintenance. You only need to keep them relatively clean, so cleaning them a couple of times per year will do the job. If in doubt, you can always rely on specialised cleaning companies, which offer this service from around £25-£35.
Most reliable solar panel manufacturers offer 20-25 years warranty.
Also, as there are no moving parts, there is no wear and tear. The inverter is usually the only part that needs to be changed after 5-10 years because it is continuously working to convert solar energy into electricity and heat (solar PV vs. solar thermal). Apart from the inverter, the cables also need maintenance to ensure your solar power system runs at maximum efficiency.
So, after covering the initial cost of the solar system, you can expect very little spending on maintenance and repair work.
5. Technology Development
Technology in the solar power industry is constantly advancing and improvements will intensify in the future. Innovations in quantum physics and nanotechnology can potentially increase the effectiveness of solar panels and double, or even triple, the electrical input of the solar power systems.
