WiSolar, a leader in sustainable energy solutions, its creating more Solar energy opportunities for Nigerians as it moves top scale up activities in the sector.
This is coming with the unveiling of a significant update to its WiGo platform including third-party installers and merchants, creating new opportunities for partners in Nigeria’s growing solar energy sector.
This groundbreaking expansion is designed to accelerate the adoption of solar energy in Nigeria, supporting single-dwelling residential and commercial solar plans.
As part of its efforts to make solar solutions more accessible, WiSolar has introduced a 24-month installment payment plan for customers in Nigeria.
By selecting the “Premium Trust” option during the order process, customers can spread payments over two years. Verified WiSolar partner merchants will assist with the order process, which requires identification documents such as NIN, BVN, and a six-month bank statement. A 30% deposit is required, alongside a commitment to timely repayments supported by a positive credit record.
Partner merchants can sign up on the WiSolar app which offers a hybrid payment model that combines commission-based earnings with fixed-tiered payments. Funds can be accessed directly from app wallets, ensuring a hassle-free payment withdrawal process and fostering collaboration across the ecosystem.
“We are thrilled to offer Partner Merchants an opportunity to join our platform without any barriers to entry. This move is in line with our vision to make solar energy solutions more accessible and widespread across Nigeria,” said Tonye Irims, Founder and CEO of WiSolar. “By empowering installers and merchants with cutting-edge tools and flexible options, we are accelerating the transition to a more sustainable energy landscape.”
“Affordability should never be a barrier to accessing clean, renewable energy,” Irims added. “With this new installment option, we’re making it easier for Nigerians to embrace solar energy and enjoy the long-term benefits it provides.”
To encourage participation, WiSolar is offering free onboarding to the first 1,000 partner installers who join the WiGo platform. This limited-time offer waives initial costs, allowing early adopters to seamlessly integrate into the platform. These partners will also receive free training to enhance their capabilities and meet the demands of a rapidly evolving solar market.
