We Offer Best Solar Energy With Timely Delivery And Maintenance

OpenLife Nigeria reports that following the inability of government to provide stable electricity for household and industrial usage, concerned Nigerians who want the country to grow are providing alternative energy.

Among them is Michael Albert, Chief Executive Officer of Altar Renewable Energy.

In this interview with OpenLife Staff Writer, Isaac Ngumah, Michael Albert gives insight into his cutting edge solar business with quality and pocket friendly

What is the business focus of Altar Renewable Energy?

We do maintenance, installation and general supplier including training on solar energy.
Technically, renewable energy has more advantages than any other energy such as electricity.

It is flexible and it is also financially valuable.

Our principal focus is to make sure that the solar renewable energy gets to the uttermost part of the country and rural communities so that they can use the renewable solar energy as well.

How long have you been in solar business and how has the experience been?

We have been in this business for more than fifteen years.

Patronage has been good. We are being patronised by lot of people both outside the country and within the country.

We are in Yola, Adamawa State.We extend our business services to countries like Cameroon, Ghana and Congo.

We are not just in Yola, we have service outlet in abuja and other parts of Nigeria.

Is your service delivery timely?

Yes, we do home service delivery and people call us and we deliver our products directly to them as quickly as they need it.
Our delivery time is top notch.

What variety of renewable energy do you deal in?

We have solar Inverter,solar panels,batteries and others.

Any challenge, so far?

Most of the challenges we face is transportation cost and publicity. A lot of people don’t know about solar energy yet.

We have to tutor them on how to use it. Another challenge is that we want the government to assist us.

If the government can subsidize the solar energy products, it will be good because there are most rural areas that they see it as very expensive.

The state of the bad roads is a challenge because most times, vehicles break down because of bad roads.

It costs us more when we have such experience. It is also risky.

Do you do training?

Yes, we do in installation and maintenance of solar inverters including constructions and battery charging.

How capital intensive is it to go into the solar business?

You dont need much to start, you can start by installation before you go into supply and others.

Sometimes, one could get loans.
If you want to raise capital, you start with loans and then you grow from there.

Some micro finance banks usually give loans to start but you have to get a quarantor.
That is, someone that can stand for you.

How is your customer relationship experience?

We do get feedback from them and our relationship is cordial and flows with understanding.
