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.
