SHARE ELECTRICITY WITH YOUR FRIEND

IMPOSSIBLE MISSION, ISN'T IT? 



Scientists are still working like a mad band wagon to make electricity shareable the way we can share data and messages on Whatsapp and Facebook. 

IT IS A MIRACLE OF SCIENCE STILL RESERVED FOR YEAR 3000

But in the meantime, the way we can share electricity is through VIRTUAL SHARING done when you save energy in the belief that another person will make use of the amount you save in the cloud.

REMEMBER ENERGY SAVED IS ENERGY SHARED

SMART ENERGY SAVING is the way to share electricity globally and get to save the deep seas and perhaps save the GREEN PLANET another Noah's predicament.

WILL YOU SAVE ENERGY TODAY SO I COULD USE IT TOMORROW

I owe you ONE BIG ONE 

STAY GREEN

UPDATES ON SOLARTEL BY ECOWATT NIGERIA - A CASE STUDY OF SUCCESSFUL INNOVATION ON PRODUCTIVE USE OF ENERGY.

Eyin temi. E ku ojo meta. Please forgive my reticence of recent time. I had gone on vacation into the deep to visit Yeye. Lol. Just pranking you guys.


Today I will like to give you green folks updates on the innovation by our sister company, Ecowatt Nigeria called SOLARTEL. Solartel was designed by Olakunle and his partner to alleviate energy poverty for quantum energy users, especially those in communication nexus, as the unit is primarily a solar powered phone charging kiosk. Since Solartel 1 was launched early in the year, Ecowatt has produced another two units given free of charge to entrepreneurs in Lagos. And I am happy to tell you that the units, one in Abule-Egba and the other at Mafoluku in Oshodi,  have been making eco-currencies for their operators who now daily rely on energy from the sun to power their businesses and make money. Pure genius by Ecowatt!

The idea behind Solartel according to its exponents is to promote productive use of energy particularly using renewable energy. Having understudied the problems of small scale businesses in Nigeria, chief of which is instability and high price in energy supply, they came up with the idea to power small scale businesses with solar PV system and Solartel, as a prototype of one of their innovations, has been a success story all the way. Today, Solartel 1,2 and 3 together generates over N50, 000 monthly in eco currencies for their operators and together saves over 6,000 tonnes of carbon. Awesome isn’t it?



In recognition of this cutting edge technology, Solartel just won a small grant award from the US Government to be used in promoting the innovation in Lagos and we are gearing up for this august event happening before the end of August,2017. The grant came on the heel of a successful presentation of Solartel business Idea by Olakunle in Ethiopia where Energy Experts from the Mandela Washington Fellowship Program had gathered to brainstorm on the future of renewable energy. Ecowatt Nigeria, our sister in the struggle, is braced to lead Africa into energy prosperity with her range of innovations for small scale businesses and we are all excited for the success stories.

Do you know of a small scale business in your area that will like to benefit from the energy upgrade program being offered by Ecowatt Nigeria Ltd. Give me a private chat and we might visit your location to conduct walk through audit for your business and fix you up with a Solar PV system free of charge.

Remember to always save energy whenever you can. Stay green.

PS: Note that a small business that qualifies as a quantum energy user is such that needs nothing less than 100 watts of electricity to power its business daily.

MAKING ECO CURRENCY- ESSENCE OF SUSTAINABILITY


Sustainability in business is the real bane of small businesses in Nigeria and I’m sure all over Africa where most small business owner have to spend the bulk of their meagre profit on fuel for their generators. With electricity supply from national grid uncertain and epileptic to power businesses, the result is that most small businesses here die prematurely and the owner will be left to battle poverty and its dark children.

To provide succor and alleviate energy poverty that bite keenly into the skin of SSE owners in Nigeria, our sister company Ecowatt Nigeria Limited is in the lab innovating different ranges of energy solutions for Small Scale Enterprises using Solar Energy. We just launched ‘Solartel’- the first Solar Powered Charging Kiosk to provide phone charging services to people in need of it and it’s been a fireworks of success.


Solartel is a holistic Solar PV system designed with high grade components to convert sunlight to electrical energy for commercial use. Since its launch in Lagos fortnight ago, its operator have earned over N5000 eco-currency from harvested sun. Isn’t that splendid? You needed to see the joy on Baba Ibeji’s face (the operator) to make money from sunlight.  He was unemployed and unhappy before but soon he will become Bill Gates and it’d be like the way Barcelona made a comeback against PSG (lol).

Seriously, the sun has started making millionaires of former unemployed young men and women of Nigeria and our vision is to extend the goodies to over 1000 SSE’s. Olakunle and Andre Moeller (our German Genius) are innovating another version of the Sun-Machine styled ‘Solartech’ for phone technicians and repairers. You gonna love it!
The sun is shining bright. Let’s make eco currencies together.

Cheers.

Solar Wealth




There is immeasurable amount of wealth stored up in the sky - in the sun. If economists were to value the worth of energy we draw yearly from the sun, you'd be amazed. Without any iota of doubt, I can beat my chest it would be more than all the wealth of the world billionaires combined.  The Creator must be infinitely wealthy to have made a ball of fire with so much to offer in terms of energy and light. But as humans, do we really value our solar wealth?

Believe me green friend, it is ironical to find so much energy poverty around in the abundance of solar energy the earth is naturally blessed with. In Africa where energy poverty bite the keenest, it is actually laughable and painful to see it is the same continent where you find sun to shine the most. Then what makes energy poverty to be this persistent and virulent?



I think is because we do not value our solar wealth enough as a people. All over the world, darkness is being chased out with solar energy technology and it is the simplest system to set up. Although solar energy system is somewhat expensive to procure and set up, its returns overlap the initial set up cost and the value of its energy cannot compare to energy from gasoline generators. Solar energy is clean, renewable (without money) and infinite. It is time we tapped into it and electrify Africa.

In this connection, my genius brother Olakunle who is a Power Engineer just designed a solar powered business kiosk for communication gadgets retailers and phone chargers. His vision is to alleviate energy poverty for SME's owners and this innovation of his called "SolarTel" would make you proud as it made me. I will share with you as soon as it is launched.

I will also be using this medium to congratulate my brother from another father, President Barack Obama on an eventful and historic handing over today. May Almighty God continue to uphold him and grant him a restful post presidency. 

Here is also to wish Mr. Donald J. Trump a happy inauguration and a successful tenure as the 45th POTUS.

See you soon.
