Nigerian Man Innovates: Sells Excess Solar Power Back to NEPA, Sparks Green Energy Revolution

A Nigerian man has gained attention online after successfully exporting excess energy from his solar power system back to the grid operated by NEPA (now PHCN). Using a setup that includes solar panels, inverters, and a metering system, the homeowner managed to channel surplus electricity generated during the day into the grid, effectively contributing to local power supply and demonstrating the potential of renewable energy in tackling the country’s power challenges.

Photos shared online show the technical arrangement and the device used to monitor energy flow, sparking interest and discussion among Nigerians on the feasibility of replicating the setup. Many praised the innovation, noting it could offer a sustainable way to manage electricity in areas frequently affected by outages while providing financial benefits to homeowners through possible energy credit systems.
