Lumos Nigeria, Africaâs leading provider of high-quality solar home systems, has commended the Nigerian Presidency on its plan to install five (5) million Solar Home System to serve 25 million households currently unconnected to the National Grid across the country.
President Buhari
The report by the Economic Sustainability Committee (ESC), chaired by Vice President Yemi Osinbajo which was presented to President Muhammadu Buhari in Abuja has projected that unemployment rate which was 23.1% (or 20.9m people) at the end of 2018 is expected to rise to 33.6% (or 39.4 million people) at the end of 2020, if urgent steps are not taken.
In response to this, Adepeju Adebajo, CEO, Lumos Nigeria said, âthe governmentâs plan to invest in 5 million solar home systems across Nigeria, is an important development. Energy is a core pillar of economic growth and will be a strong catalyst to sustainable economic recovery, post-COVID-19. Lumos is the market leader in affordable solar home systems, providing access to power to homes, micro and small businesses nationwide, and we understand the impact of power on the quality of life and livelihoods. We applaud this important initiative and will work with the Nigerian government to make it a reality.â
Nigeria, plagued by a large energy supply deficit with only 33% of households and 30% of businesses having stunted access to grid electricity, needed to leverage her abundant renewable solar energy source to accelerate plugging the enormous gap.
Deploying solar home systems for emergency national energy provision is not new to Lumos Nigeria. Backed by a grant from All On, an organisation established to increase access to energy for under-served and unserved consumers by the SHELL Company , Lumos recently installed solar-powered systems to power primary health centerâs and emergency response centers across Nigeria in response to the COVID-19 outbreak in the country.
The installed systems have been powering necessities such as lighting, fans, vaccine fridge and computers, ensuring that essential services can respond to the crisis and deliver urgent medical care at the centers.
Lumos Nigeria, which currently serves over 100,000 households and enterprises, was selected on the strength of its immediate preparedness to respond with products, inventory, technological capabilities and efficient delivery track record.
Lumos is a market-leading provider of high-quality solar home systems in Africa, designed to make reliable and clean power accessible to everyone. We combine easy to use technology with a personalised service to power prosperity for millions of people.
Solar energy is harnessed by using various technologies such as photovoltaics (PV), which directly convert light to electricity; concentrating solar power (CSP), which uses heat from the sun (thermal energy) to drive utility-scale, electric turbines; and solar heating and cooling (SHC) systems
The global solar energy market size was valued at USD 52.5 Billion in 2018 and is projected to reach USD 223.3 Billion by 2026, growing at a CAGR of 20.5% from 2019 to 2026

Morocco, which has one of the largest solar parks in the world, is willing to share its expertise and know-how in renewable energy with Chad within the frame of a south-south and solidarity-based cooperation.
The pledge was made lately by Moroccan Ambassador to NâDjamena, Abdellatif Erroja, during the launch ceremony of the âsolar energy project for rural development in Chadâ. Moroccan National Office of Electricity and Drinking Water (ONEE) is participating in this project, which is supported by the Islamic Development Bank.
Morocco, a regional leader in renewable energy, puts the African continent at the center of its foreign policy and spares no efforts to enhance African integration, added the diplomat, affirming that the electricity sector can serve as an engine for African integration and socioeconomic sustainable development.
The electricity and solar energy sector in Africa offers huge investment opportunities for win-win partnership, underlined the Moroccan ambassador.
Chadâs solar energy project for rural development aims to provide reliable and affordable electricity supply to the inhabitants of the ToukraâMandelia locality, south of the capital city (NâDjamena).
Moroccoâs Noor Ouarzazate solar complex is one of the worldâs largest solar farms. Built on an area of more than 3,000 hectares â the size of 3,500 football fields-, the solar complex produces enough electricity to power a city twice the size of Marrakesh.
Situated at the gateway to Africa, the whole complex provides 580 megawatts, saving the planet from over 760,000 tons of carbon emissions.
â There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation,
hard work, and learning failure â
