A Nigerian lady who works as a content creator shared her experience using the Itel Power Tank solar generator without solar panels. She revealed the difficulties she encountered and why she quickly had to install the panels to connect with her power tank. The lady sent a message to Nigerians, prompting many in her comment section to share similar experiences.
Lady Buys Itel Power Tank Without Panels
Identified as @__omojola on TikTok, the lady explained that she bought the Itel Power Tank because of the lack of electricity in her new home. She did not want to purchase a fuel generator, so she opted for the solar generator. However, she initially did not acquire the solar panels, which made charging difficult since there was no electricity to charge the tank. She had to carry the power tank to other locations to charge her devices.
Her Frustration and Advice
In the TikTok video, she captioned it: 'The frustration Nepa did put me through earlier this year ehn, I almost regret moving to Lagos. But thank God we’re over that phase now. This mini setup has been serving so far. Would you also invest in a mini set up like this?' She advised Nigerians: 'If you live in an area with bad electricity and you're thinking of getting a power tank, just know this: Without solar panels, you're still going to suffer small.' In the comments, she disclosed the costs: the tank cost 360,000 naira, and the panel and installation cost 300,000 naira.
Netizens React to the Solar Experience
Many TikTok users shared their thoughts. Gray Kyn said: 'I got a 450 watts panel with the power tank and I use while charging all day… Its been 5 days of constant power. Best investment of my life. I use 450 and any professional will tell you it’s safer and optimal. 650 watts is hurting your power tank. It’s too much.' Melody Banks asked: '420watss panel ke? Can you use it while charging cos mine is 650watts.' Kaycee commented: 'Itel power tank available for pickup or pay on delivery in Awka.' CSA said: 'You are the only person that has told the truth. Just keep 700k to power your house with this ( panel, power station, installation)...Use 10mm wires too, don't go lower.' Sellio stated: 'This itel power tank is very nice and a good investment because is affordable and 100%worth it because with just 340k you can get the battery and with additional 110k you can get the (500w) solar panel all from us is that not crazy.'
