The CEO of Mone Solar, Okah Ewere, has said that it was imperative for Nigeria to adopt the use of solar energy as part of ways to solve the energy challenges in the country.
Highlighting some of the challenges in Nigerias power sector, Ewere added that the rise in electricity tariff and removal of fuel subsidy had resulted in a dramatic increase in the cost of electricity both from the grid and fueling generators.
“This has led to the search for alternatives which is the solar energy; the next best alternative source of energy to power home appliances and commercial utilities with zero marginal cost after installation cost,” Ewere explained.
While stressing that there was urgent need to rejig the energy architecture in the country to meet up with the ever-increasing demand for power, he said that “Solar will create an energy architecture that is different from the one we know today.”
He however noted that in Nigeria, transitioning to solar has raised some critical issues that requires developing awareness and changing habits. This is even as he urged government and stakeholders to strengthen the advocacy.
Ewere reiterated the company’s commitment to supporting government efforts towards developing the country’s energy sector by providing professional services ranging from inspection, installation, provision of equipment and energy consultation.
