It’s the season of downpours, damp clothes, and dim days — but your home or business doesn’t have to be in the dark.

Here are 9 smart tips to get through the rainy season without energy stress:

1. Use energy-efficient appliances

Rainy season means fewer sunlight hours — so your stored solar energy should work smarter, not harder. Stick to LED bulbs, inverter ACs, and energy-saving fans.

2. Monitor your battery levels

Keep an eye on usage, especially in the evenings. Our systems help you track everything via the Mobile Monitoring App.

 3. Turn off phantom power users

TVs, chargers, decoders — if they’re not in use, unplug them. Every watt matters on cloudy days.

4. Clean your solar panels

Surprised! Rain doesn’t always wash off dust or debris. Clean panels = better performance.

5. Install surge protectors

Protect your appliances from lightning-induced surges during storms.

6. Prioritize essential loads

Limit usage to key items like lights, fans, and routers when energy is low

7. Time heavy-duty tasks wisely

Iron, blend, or pump water during the brightest hours of the day.

8. Keep a backup power option ready

If you’re on a hybrid system, ensure your grid or generator backup is functional.

9. Update system settings

Some inverters have a rainy-day or economy mode. Use it to optimize output.

Drive through any neighborhood today, and the signs are clear—Nigerians are embracing solar.

Panels now dot rooftops from ‘‘Lagos to Jos’’, and solar startups seem to spring up overnight.

But behind the surge lies a critical concern: Are people making informed choices, or just desperate ones?

As electricity bills skyrocket due to increased power demand, and fuel isn’t exactly affordable either, the adoption of solar energy has increasingly transitioned from being a choice driven by sustainability to a necessity rooted in survival. Though sustainability should always be the priority.

Some still face blackouts, but for many, it’s the cost of staying connected that’s driving them toward solar.

📊 Consumer Behavior: What Nigerians Are Really Buying

Most households start small—solar lamps, fans, phone chargers—testing the waters before they dive in fully. This “try before you trust” mindset is shaping a cautious market. Unfortunately, this gap in technical knowledge is allowing substandard products and unqualified installers to thrive.

People want solutions. But without the right information, they’re settling for stopgaps instead of long-term value.

🚧 So, What’s Stopping Solar from Going Mainstream?

Despite high demand, three major hurdles remain:

1. 💰 Financing Still Holds the Key – Check out the Solar Financing Plan

Even with rising interest, solar remains out of reach for many due to upfront costs. That’s why at Ignite, we’re focused on removing financial barriers through flexible payment plans that fit real Nigerian realities.

✅ Spread payments over time

✅ Avoid heavy upfront costs

✅ Start saving on energy immediately

Ignite Energy Access approach is simple: create products that meet customers’ current energy needs while easing the financial burden from day one. Whether you’re trying to reduce petrol costs or avoid Band A tariffs, our Solar Solutions are designed to help you switch smart, without the stress.

2. 📚 We Must Educate to Elevate

It’s time for a nationwide awareness campaign. We need to show the difference between:

Quality vs. Counterfeit

Certified vs. Corner-shop installers

Smart investment vs. short-term fixes

At Ignite, we’re committed to educating customers through webinars, newsletters (READ more informative posts like this one!), and community engagements that demystify solar for everyone.

3. 🛠️ After-Sales Isn’t Optional—It’s Everything

Solar isn’t a “fix-it-and-forget-it” system. It needs:

Warranties that protect

Maintenance you can count on

Customer service, you can reach

That’s why Ignite backs every product with responsive support, expert installation, and real-time system monitoring—because trust goes beyond the sale.

Thanks to energy tariff systems, many people now enjoy more stable electricity. But the shift is clear; the conversation has moved from availability to affordability. This is precisely what’s unfolding across Nigeria, where improvements in power supply, increasing energy demand, and rising electricity costs are encouraging more homes and businesses to turn to solar PV systems as a helpful solution.

A recent article by Power Technology sheds light on the accelerating shift toward solar power in Nigeria. It’s not just a trend, it’s a national movement born out of necessity. As energy poverty deepens, solar is becoming the most viable solution for millions.

Key Insights from the Report

The Trigger? Energy Poverty.

Widespread blackouts and unstable grid supply have made traditional electricity unreliable, forcing people to seek independent power solutions like solar PV.

Mini-grids & Off-grid Solar Are Gaining Ground

Scalable and flexible, solar mini-grids and standalone systems are now powering rural and peri-urban areas, previously left in the dark.

Furthermore, advocating for the reduction of CO2 emissions through the use of alternative lighting solutions, such as candles and kerosene lanterns that presents significant safety concerns and poses risks to environmental health. These traditional lighting methods, while accessible, can contribute to indoor air pollution and increase the likelihood of accidents, ultimately undermining efforts to create a sustainable and safe living environment.

Financing Makes the Difference

One game-changing innovation? Pay-As-You-Go (PAYG) solar models. These let users spread payments over time, making clean energy affordable and reducing dependence on diesel generators.

Policy Backing Is in Place

Nigeria’s Renewable Energy Master Plan (REMP) and updated energy targets support this momentum, laying a foundation for sustainable solar growth by 2030 and beyond.

 At Ignite, We’re Already Doing This

The article’s spotlight on PAYG is no surprise to us at Ignite—we’ve been at the forefront of this solution. Our Pay-As-You-Go solar systems allow customers to enjoy reliable power without the financial burden of full upfront payments.

With Ignite Energy Access PAYG:

Families can power their homes in flexible, affordable ways.

Small businesses can thrive without worrying about fuel costs or outages.

Communities gain access to consistent electricity, boosting productivity and peace of mind.

When it comes to power, everyone has a theory. From naysayers who say solar doesn’t work in the rain, to those who believe only the rich can afford it, we’ve heard it all.

But the truth? Many of these myths are holding people back from transitioning to solar and discovering the truth about this alternative and affordable energy solution.

Let’s break down some of the most common ones;

 Myth 1: Solar only works when the sun is shining bright

 Truth:
Solar panels still work on cloudy or rainy days, just at reduced efficiency. With a strong battery system, you can store power during the day and use it around the clock, rain or shine. This is why hybrid systems are so powerful. READ MORE: (THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LITHIUM ION PHOSPHATE (LiFePO4) BATTERY AND TUBULAR BATTERY)

 Myth 2: You need to be rich to install solar

 Truth:
With Pay-As-You-Go (PAYGo) systems, you can now get started with small weekly or monthly payments. No full payment upfront. No generator stress. No blackout panic. READ MORE: You Can Now Get A Solar System with NO Full Payment Upfront.

 Myth 3: Generators are cheaper

 Truth:
Let’s do the math: diesel or petrol every week vs. a one-time system that runs for years? Solar pays for itself in the long run. Plus, no noise, no fumes, no ongoing fueling and operational costs, and less concerns on security challenges, as the system can be safely installed indoors.

 Myth 4: Solar is complicated to maintain

 Truth:
Modern solar systems are plug-and-play. Most are monitored via apps and require little to no maintenance. And if you’re with the right provider (like us – Ignite Energy), support is just a call away.
