Solar power may be helping Nigerians cope with an unreliable electricity supply, but a fire incident in Ilorin has again highlighted the danger that can arise from faulty or poorly installed electrical systems.
ValidViewNetwork gathered that a room in a building in Ilorin, Kwara State, was gutted after a spark from solar wiring triggered a fire.
The state fire service confirmed the incident.
HOW THE FIRE STARTED
Reports indicate that the fire originated from the solar wiring. A related report said the blaze destroyed a residential building and property in Ilorin.
The incident reinforces the importance of proper installation, maintenance and inspection of solar systems, batteries, inverters and electrical connections.
ValidViewNetwork advises residents using solar installations to ensure that electrical work is handled by qualified professionals and that damaged cables, overloaded circuits and poorly protected connections are not ignored.
