Nigeria is currently grappling with a serious electricity challenge that requires urgent attention. Studies have shown that between 60% to 70% of the Nigerian population is living without access to electricity, negatively impacting their quality of life while hindering economic and social development potential. The lack of electricity has resulted in annual economic losses totaling a staggering 1.26 trillion naira, highlighting the urgency and far-reaching impacts of the issue.
The current coping mechanism for many households has been to rely on self-owned generators to compensate for the electricity shortage. However, this solution has led to new problems, including low energy efficiency, environmental pollution, and significant noise that poses threats to human health. Furthermore, this traditional solution is not sustainable and cannot provide electricity solutions for a wider community.
In light of this situation, the promotion and application of new energy technologies have become crucial. Hinen, an expert in residential energy storage solutions, will be participating in Powerelec Nigeria from February 20th to 22nd (Booth C10) to showcase the latest products and solutions. This will include offering professional technical services for African users, addressing the issue of power shortages across the continent.
Hinen’s home energy solution, such as the Mini System, consists of solar photovoltaic panels, a portable power supply, and a Smart Box. Leveraging Nigeria’s abundant solar resources, these products can convert solar energy into valuable electricity resources for households and small-scale commercial users, meeting their daily power needs. For example, a Mini system with an output power of 3KW can provide 2.5KWh of electricity in one go. It supports simultaneous solar and grid charging while supplying power to users, enabling the simultaneous use of various household appliances.
In the event of a sudden power outage, the Mini system can automatically switch to battery power mode within 14 milliseconds, ensuring users have stable and continuous power supply during public power failures. Additionally, the Mini system offers flexible capacity configurations ranging from 2.5KWh to 17.5KWh, catering to different energy customization needs of users. During operation, the Mini series emits only 30 decibels of sound, making it very user-friendly.
Hinen’s Africa representative, Atam, stated, “Our participation in the Powerelec exhibition is crucial to our mission of sustainable energy. We are actively seizing this opportunity to provide competitive and innovative residential energy storage systems to the African market, along with detailed installation guidance and training. We look forward to establishing close relationships with local partners in Africa. In Nigeria, Hinen has collaborated with a local bank to offer flexible financing options and provide discounted services for small and medium-sized enterprises. Several hundred members of the Barber Association and multiple churches have already benefited from this initiative. In the future, we aim to empower even more partners.”
By seeking to provide sustainable energy solutions, Hinen is positioning itself as a reliable partner in addressing Nigeria’s pressing electricity challenges.
