Energy firm, Sun King, has launched its new solar inverter for uninterrupted power solutions to Nigerians.
Speaking at the launch in Lagos, Sun King’s EasyBuy General Manager for West and Central Africa, Omoyemi Tuga, said the solar inverter could replace expensive, fossil-fuel-powered generating sets and end Nigerians’ dependency on the unreliable grid.
Tuga explained that the solar panels generated direct current (DC), the battery stores the electricity and the inverter converts DC to alternating current (AC) to power appliances. The inverter has a warranty of three years and it’s battery can last up to 10 years.
“The Sun King Solar Inverter can power everything from homes’ domestic lights, refrigerators and televisions to businesses computers, food processing equipment and light machinery,” Tuga said.
“The Solar Inverter generates up fo 20 000 watts of electricity, equivalent to the grid.”
He said the hybrid inverter could be connected to two sources of electricity: solar panels and when available, the electrical grid. The inverter can power appliances directly or charge a zero-maintenance lithium iron phosphate battery, which reduces households’ energy costs and provides an uninterrupted power supply.
Tuga said customers could purchase the product using Sun King’s pay-as-you-go financing service, which breaks payments down into regular, affordable instalments of 21,500 weekly.
