Ikorodu Elderly Couple Breaks Free From 9-Months Blackout

For nine long months, an entire community was stranded in darkness. Their transformer had been taken away for repairs, but the power holding company never looked back. What started as a temporary issue became a never-ending blackout, leaving homes without light, businesses struggling, and families forced to rely on expensive and unreliable alternatives.

Among those suffering was an elderly couple who had endured countless sleepless nights without electricity. Tired of waiting for a solution that might never come, they decided to take matters into their own hands. They reached out to us, desperate for a reliable energy source that would free them from the uncertainty of the power grid.

After carefully assessing their needs, we designed and installed a solar system that not only powered their home but also brought life back to the community. With solar energy now running their borehole system, they became beacons of hope—opening their doors to neighbors who had no access to clean water.

Now, instead of suffering in silence, this remarkable couple has become the heart of their community, proving that with the right energy solution, a single decision can transform lives. While others still wait in the dark, they live in comfort, secure in the knowledge that they will never have to depend on an unreliable grid again. The system installed was 6 units of high performance 300W panels, 3kva hybrid inverter and a long lasting 2.56KWH lithium ion battery

At Aplus Energy, we don’t just provide solar solutions—we restore hope, power homes, and transform communities.
