Have you ever had to pause a phone call…
…because your own generator was shouting louder than the fight next door?
It’s wild.
You’re indoors.
But it sounds like you’re sitting inside a factory.
We used to laugh about it… “Na diesel gen, e dey talk like that.”
But lately, the joke isn’t so funny anymore… especially when we start to look at what this “power backup” is really costing us.
Let’s break something big.
The Wrong Mindset:
“I’ll just buy a generator. It’s cheaper and faster.”
That used to make sense.
In fact, I used to say the same thing.
Buy once. Top fuel. Done. Easy.
But here’s what nobody tells you:
The Hidden Costs Nobody Talks About:
- ₦48,000 every month on fuel (or more)
- ₦15,000 on servicing and oil
- ₦5,000 on “urgent mechanic run”
- ₦2,000 on earplugs (ok maybe not, but we all thought about it 😅)
- ₦0 peace of mind
Total monthly cost = ₦68,000 – ₦85,000
And you’re still tired, hot, and angry half the time.
That’s over ₦800,000+ a year.
Just for noise, stress, and bad air.
The Right Insight:
“Solar is not an expense. It’s an investment in freedom.”
A one-time solar setup might feel expensive upfront, but the math tells a different story.
Let’s say you install a basic ₦250,000–₦300,000 system (fan, bulbs, TV, charging).
That’s the same amount you would’ve spent on fuel + NEPA in 3–4 months.
The difference?
- You pay ONCE.
- You sleep BETTER.
- You gain BACK your money in a year.
- And for the next 4–5 years?
You’re basically powering your home… for FREE.
Generators Depreciate. Solar Pays You Back.
Nobody resells a used generator for profit.
But a well-maintained solar system?
- Adds value to your house
- Reduces your monthly cost of living
- Helps you budget better
- And keeps your business (or remote job) alive and stable
The Bigger Truth?
Generators are loud… not just in sound, but in waste.
Solar is silent… not just in noise, but in how it quietly saves you money every single day.
Friend to friend… ask yourself:
Do I want to keep paying every month for temporary light…
…or pay once and enjoy permanent peace?
The generator noise may be loud.
But the silent drain on your wallet?
That’s even louder.
If you’re done buying monthly stress, let’s talk solar.
We’ll help you start small, grow big, and never go back.
