Nigeria: Villagers Begin Appreciating Solar Power

Filed in archive Solar by Reden Rodriguez on August 12, 2006

The state of Lagos in nigeria links

has recently initiated a pilot solar energy project that will affect 5,000 residents of the said state. Before this electrification project, Lagos, which is a growing commercial destination, has never had the benefits of electricity.

Lagos is an off-grid location, as is 19 other areas that will be electrified by the solar project by the end of the year. Nigerian authorities estimate that around 1.2 Million US dollars is needed to connect each of these areas to the national electricity grid, but only 83 thousand US dollars is needed to put up an equivalent solar powered infrastructure per village.

This development is a big boost for rural Nigerian villages. Electricity can now be used for lighting, water pumping, and irrigation.

The sensors memorize the surface where they are positioned and acquire an ID address. When the sensor detects a surface change, a movement or a temper, transmits the information at the concentrator, that in turn communicates with the control panel, providing detailed information on the single alarmed sensor. Solar ALARM is safe, because based on a BUS tecnology with owner protocol. Solar ALARM is a modular and flexible system, because borns and grows with the solar and photovoltaic plant, without limits. It is situable for all panel types, installed and of new installation. Solar ALARM includes the exclusive functionality "Cantiere Protetto", that allows to protect the solar or photovoltaics plant during construction, independently of its activity. edwin aligwo/ ceo www.thewholeworld.biz tel: 00393488868649
