The drive to provide reliable and affordable access to power for average households and small businesses across Nigeria has made Lumos Nigeria introduce two new products.
Since its establishment five years ago, Lumos Nigeria has continued to offer stable, clean and affordable alternative power supply to its customers and by 2025, it hopes to service about one million households in the country.
Determined to achieve this target, the leading provider of high-quality solar home systems in Africa has introduced two new product offerings; Lumos Prime and Lumos Eco.
The new products were introduced in partnership with telecommunications giant, MTN Nigeria Plc and will enable Lumos’ customers to save up to 70 per cent on their power cost, whilst also helping them power a variety of their electrical appliances.
These two new products, Lumos Prime and Lumos Eco, will replace Lumos’ existing home solar system as more technologically advanced variants that enable longer use. They can better power CCTV, bulbs, fans, laptops, television sets, radios, mobile devices and more.
A statement from the firm explained that the Lumos Prime comes with two solar panels, thereby allowing faster charging. It is suitable for customers who are looking to enjoy longer, lasting power using their electronic device. Lumos Eco comes with one solar panel and is designed for consumers with basic power needs.
With Lumos, consumers no longer need to worry overpower issues or rely on generators to meet their power needs.
The CEO of Lumos Nigeria, Mrs Adepeju Adebajo, while speaking at the unveiling of the new products, stated that, “Since its launch in Nigeria over five years ago, Lumos has been committed to solving the energy needs of Nigerians and we will continue to do so by building revolutionary products that meet the growing needs of the underserved populace. We are very excited to launch these new products in partnership with MTN.”
The Head of Y’ello Digital Financial Services, the Fintech subsidiary of MTN, Mr Usoro Usoro, in his remarks, noted that the partnership with Lumos is to complement the efforts of the government in its commitment to ensuring uninterrupted electricity supply to every part of Nigeria.
“The MTN SIM-enabled solar-based system will facilitate affordable access to solar power for Nigerians in urban and rural areas. It is another innovative way to provide solutions that address old and new challenges, making life a little easier and brighter for our customers,” he added.
