I just ran some data to back up this post. I have so far generated 3.7 million Naira worth of electricity from solar this year. That is 16 Megawatt hours of electricity.
I asked Claude to calculate how much it would cost me doing the same with diesel and it was 12 M Naira if the diesel generator was running 10 hours per day on average.
I did not include the cost savings in gas for cooking and baking - and I bake my own bread -
The crazy thing is - the system has so much excess capacity that by noon a lot of excess solar goes to waste. This is why getting an electric car to use that excess solar would further save cost on petrol.
100% energy independence is good. Don't let anyone gaslite you.

Claude tallies a solar setup's 16 MWh year: 3.7M naira vs diesel
Othell Yarwyck asked Claude to calculate the value of electricity their solar system generated this year. It produced 16 MWh worth 3.7 million naira, versus an estimated 12 million naira if run on a diesel generator 10 hours a day.
