Power and energy solutions company, Groupower, has launched a solar energy platform designed to empower Nigerian homes and industries with accessible solar power.
Speaking at the launch in Abuja yesterday, Project Leader of Groupower, Yeshua Russel, said that the platform aims to leverage cutting-edge technology to streamline access to solar power, making renewable energy more inclusive and sustainable.
He said: “Our platform aggregates multiple stakeholders, ensuring customers can seamlessly access high-quality solar power. That’s why we created Groupower, the ‘Uber of solar power,’ to provide a sustainable solution for Nigerians.
“We have assembled a network of technical, installation, training, financial, and insurance partners to ensure Nigerians receive the correct solar power at the correct price. We aim to expand across Africa, leveraging technology and partnerships to make solar power accessible to all.”
