Problem: Inability of solar inverter-based solar installations to power heavy duty appliances like electric iron,electric heaters, air conditioners,deep freezers,cold rooms,washing machines, agric processing plants without the solar inverter of the same power rating over-heating and burning after a short time. Global warming,pollution,climate change caused by over-depenence on fossil fuels. Inaccessibility to power from the National Grid due to corruption. High cost of running petrol and diesel electric generators daily through refuelling ,periodic change of large quantities of engine oil and comparably too regular mechanical breakdown due to tear and wear of mechanical interlocking moving parts. Lower efficiency of fossil engines due to lost heat and vibrations. Abominable costs of installing solar inverter-based solar installations of comparable power output due to higher number of solar accessories required during installation as well as the actual costs of the solar inverter and the Lister or some other generator of the same power rating comparably yet with much lower efficiency and much shorter operating duration while powering heavy duty appliances.
Unique Selling Point: People are resorting to dependence on diesel Lister generators which,even though capable of powering heavy duty appliances adequately for very long hours, are too expensive to run at 1 litre of diesel for N960.00, an agent of pollution,global warming and climate change. Peoe are.also resorting to the installation of solar inverter-based solar systems which are useful for lower power, voltage-dependent appliances like energy-aving bulbs, plasma TVs, sound systems and ordinary fans ,but, are not used to heavy duty appliances used in businesses like hair dryers, air conditioners,deep freezers, electric cookers, washing machines and others otherwise the solar inverter as well as the solar batteries overheat and burn!
