Africa Go Solar (AGS), a provider of solar energy solutions in Africa, has launched a new ‘Pay-As-You-Go’ solar street lighting solution, stating that its pre-paid solar solutions will bridge the deficiency of power supply from the national grid by providing off-grid power supply.
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of AGS, Sola Fajuke, while speaking during the launch, which was held at Ajah, Lagos, revealed that solar energy aligns with Nigeria’s goals for sustainable development and supports the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly when it comes to affordable and clean energy, as well as climate action, and poverty alleviation.
In his own words, “We are excited to launch our new ‘pay-as-you-go’ solar street lighting solution in Nigeria. Solar energy adoption will prove valuable as Nigeria’s electricity grid faces significant challenges in meeting the electricity demand of the country’s population. With projects like the solar-powered streetlights at Abraham Adesanya estate, we believe that solar energy solutions will improve citizens’ quality of life and provide more economic opportunities.
The ‘pay-as-you-go’ solar street lighting solution is aimed at providing affordable, reliable, and sustainable lighting to communities in order to solve Nigeria’s electricity challenges and meet its population’s demand, particularly in Lagos.
The launch was attended by major stakeholders, including the Chairperson of the Abraham Adesanya Housing Estate, Bolanle Bodede, the Vice Chairman and Head of Security, Olanrewaju Afolabi, and other residents of the estate where AGS completed its solar-powered street lights project.
AGS is a solar energy firm that works together with Fuji Electric, a renowned Japanese solar technology provider, in order to deliver durable solar solutions to European cities, such as Germany, Italy, and London. This partnership has enabled AGS to establish an ideal record by ensuring their solar installations meet the highest quality and performance standards.
