In efforts to address the inconsistent electricity supply in Nigeria, GreenPower Overseas Limited, a premier solar power system integrator, has introduced IoT-enabled “Pay as You Go” solar generators in the metropolitan towns of Ado and Igbara-odo Ekiti in Ekiti state. At the launch event in Ado-Ekiti, the company’s Managing Director, Engr. Bamidele Faparusi, stated that this innovative system allows customers to buy electricity produced by the solar generator through their mobile phones, making it easy and convenient for them to access renewable energy.
Faparusi highlighted that the Pay as You Go system is geared towards making solar power more readily available to rural residents, who frequently rely on costly and polluting fossil fuels for energy. As a former member of the House of Representatives, he emphasized that the Pay as You Go system not only offers a cost-effective and eco-friendly alternative, but also a more dependable source of electricity for its users. He added that the initial launch of the Pay as You Go system has received positive feedback from customers who appreciate its ease of use and dependability.
