At the beginning of this year, I wrote down a goal in my book, one I wanted so badly which was getting a solar system to power light for me 24/7 without interruption. Today, I am excited that I finally achieved that goal and already ticked off my list for the year. I bought a Sunking Solar Home 500x on the 26th of March, something that has been on my mind to get for a long time and thankfully, Hive made it happen.
In a country, Nigeria precisely where electricity has become like gold. I term it a luxury only the rich truly enjoy while the average and poor are often left in darkness, waiting endlessly for light to come except they struggle to get an alternative which is a generator. But how about fuel to power it every time? Not with the current economy where everything keeps going high in price.
Light is more than just electricity; it brightens the mood, sparks motivation, and brings a sense of comfort. Have you ever noticed how, when you’re feeling sad and suddenly the light comes on, excitement instantly washes over you? The sadness slowly creeps away because everywhere becomes bright, and you can see things clearly and do things you'd piled up.
For me, light isn't just about illumination; it's about inspiration. When there's power, I get the motivation to work, even into the late hours. But when there’s none, I often find myself going to bed early because everything just feels empty inside. I love light. A place without light feels boring.
Most times, I feel like being active online, but the lack of electricity drains that enthusiasm. To cope, I got two power banks to keep me going. Yet, the constant need to go out and charge my phone was frustrating. Some days, I wouldn’t even feel like stepping out, but the moment I realized my phone’s battery wouldn’t last me a few more hours, I had no choice. Slowly, I’d grab my small bag with my chargers and gadgets, step out, and wait. A few hours later, the joy of seeing my phone and power banks fully charged is priceless. Knowing they’d last me a few days gave me a sense of relief.
But deep down, I wanted something better. I often checked online for the best solar products, and Sunking always stood out. Whenever I entered someone’s home and saw a solar system installed, my mind was set on getting mine soon. I wanted to stop complaining about the lack of electricity and start enjoying 24/7 power in my own space. I was also tired of spending money to charge outside, the small but unnecessary expenses that kept draining my pockets.

Now, I finally own a solar system that comes with a standing fan and five bulbs including a sensor. I was overjoyed when I realized it came with a fan because I had already planned to buy one separately. It felt like a double blessing, isn't it? No more complaints about low battery or darkness in my room. From now on, I will have light 24/7, which means more inspiration, more motivation, no more limitations and more movies 🤪

I have also just moved into my new apartment, and even though I was told there’s electricity, I don’t want to depend on it. I immediately hired an electrician to help me install the solar the same day because I wanted to start making use of it. I fixed two bulbs in the room, one in the kitchen and a sensor in the bathroom, while I kept the remaining bulb safe till when I needed it again.
When the power goes out, my solar will always be there, ready to keep my room bright and my solar-powered fan? It will keep running as long as there’s sunlight to charge my panel. Imagine putting on the fan whenever you want and not being limited by the lack of electricity; such a soft life! 😃
I got this Sunking Solar Home 500x for ₦267,000 ($173.88), which I find quite affordable for the value it brings. The best part is how Hive made this possible for me. I am so happy because Hive has given me something that makes life more comfortable. Now, I can be more active online without worrying about my battery running low.
This is more than just a purchase; it’s an achievement of a goal that has been lurking in my mind for a long time. Cheers to brighter days, uninterrupted productivity, and the joy of having my own power source.
