Project Details
Explain your project in details:
My main objective is to build an indigenous company that provide renewable energy system to at least 70 percent of 194.87 million people and 23 million SMEs who suffer as a result of the epileptic power supply in Nigeria. My approach to solving this problem is giving our customers the ability to generate their own power by using our waltor generator. The waltor energy generator is a two phase free energy system that comprises of a solar system and an alternator mechanism working independently as a single system; that is to say, our customers may choose to use the alternator during the day and solar power at night. We aim at solving the following challenges; reducing the dependency of homes and SMEs on the national grid, increasing access to renewable elect ricity, reducing carbon emission in the environment as a result of the use of petrol/disiel generators.
