What if everything you thought about solar energy was wrong? For Nigerian SMBs battling rising fuel costs and erratic power supply, solar energy isn’t just a buzzword, it’s a lifeline. Yet myths persist, holding businesses back from embracing a solution that could slash costs and stabilize operations. Let’s dismantle five stubborn myths and reveal why solar is the smart choice for your business.
Reality: Solar pays for itself. It’s a gift that keeps on giving.
Yes, the upfront cost of solar can seem daunting. But think long-term: once installed, solar systems cut electricity bills by 60% or more, eliminate reliance on costly diesel generators, and shield you from fuel price hikes. A bakery in Lagos can save ₦2 million in its first year with a 10kW system.
