The ongoing power outages in Nigeria have led to a major crisis. However, there is a potential solution to this problem through the use of solar energy and alternative energy sources. Mr. Adebayo Oguntunde, CEO of Squidi Global Solar Power Solutions, a company that specializes in providing green energy and solar power services, has emphasized the ability of solar energy and other alternative energy sources to address Nigeria’s energy challenges. In an interview with Daily Independent, he highlighted that Squidi Global Solar Power Solutions offers various services in the areas of green energy, solar energy, inverter, and battery maintenance. The company is committed to anything related to green energy and wind turbine energy.
The founder of a solar energy company in Nigeria, Oguntunde, has shared that his company specializes in designing and implementing advanced solar energy equipment and solutions. Their goal is to provide top-quality renewable energy solutions to their clients.
Oguntunde started the company in 2010 due to the increasing power shortage problem in Nigeria. He witnessed power outages in his area and decided to offer a solution to the problem. Providing relief to the Nigerians who were struggling with the heat due to the power outages motivated him to look for a solution.
However, he shared that the company has come a long way since its inception and has installed solutions for individuals and corporate organizations across the nation.
He suggested that due to the unstable power supply in the country, more individuals are now aware of solar and green energy and are willing to adopt it. As a result of the frequent power outages in Nigeria, more people have turned to solar energy as a power source in the past three years, resulting in increased sales and installations and job opportunities.
The promotion of clean and sustainable energy sources is critical in creating a more sustainable future for the environment of the nation, and this is something that we strive to achieve.
According to his evaluation of the green energy sector in the country, renewable energy and solar are becoming more popular among Nigerians as they become aware of the benefits and availability of these energy sources.

However, he acknowledged the initial expense of solar installation, attributing it to the importation of materials from countries like China due to the low value of the naira.
Despite the upfront cost, he emphasized the long-term sustainability and cost-effectiveness of solar energy, noting its minimal maintenance requirements and absence of ongoing fuel expenses. He recommended entrepreneurs and the government to embrace solar energy for its enduring benefits and environmental advantages. While acknowledging the limitations of solar for heavy machinery, he affirmed its suitability for daily operations and simple tasks. In terms of succeeding in the solar business, he stressed the importance of dedication, willingness to learn, and a few months of technical training. Finally, he advised aspiring entrepreneurs to exhibit tenacity and a strong work ethic.
