Solar energy usage has continue to rise sporadically globally. Countries like the US, UK, Canada, France etc, appreciate the need to use more of clean energy because of the variety of benefits it holds. In the US, Florida law forbids any entity—including homeowner associations—from prohibiting the installation of solar or other renewable energy devices on Florida buildings. In some other location, it is a requirement for new homes.

According to solstice, as of the end of 2018, the U.S. had 64.2 GW of installed solar–enough to power 12.3 million American homes. And solar has continued to rank either first or second in capacity added to the U.S. electric total every year since 2013.

Same holds true in Nigeria because of the epileptic power supply and heavy dependent on generators. In Nigeria you are sure to save far much more if you Extend this to two decades, which is less than the length of a typical solar panel warranty. If you spend just N30,000 a month on fuel for your generator plus servicing, this will translates to over N7,200,000.00 in savings.
