Such a project is close to Tina’s heart as she has family in Nigeria. During her frequent visits to the country, she realised that many communities had limited access to reliable electricity. In some cases, villages have no power at all.
“I witnessed first-hand how unreliable the electricity in many of the villages was and solar power in Nigeria is far too expensive for most. I knew that here in Australia many of the solar panels that get replaced could still be used, so I reached out to my local Solahart dealer to see what we could do,” said Tina.
“Providing Nigerian communities with top-tier solar panels from Australia is completely life-changing and I am thrilled that we’ve found a cost-effective and sustainable way to keep the lights on, and keep these communities connected. Together, the Alight Project and Solahart have established a brand new and accessible solar industry in Nigeria.”
Tina sells the Australian solar panels to wholesale retailers in Nigeria who then distribute the high-quality panels to locals at a highly discounted price.
She sells just enough panels to cover the costs of shipping the freight to Nigeria, and then donates the rest of the panels to these communities.
