The life span of solar panel is between 25 and 30 years. Any reason given for the failure of solar panel installation after 4 to 10 years is nonsense. This issue must be investigated and defaulters must be purnihed. Thank you.

How many trials and errors did US, UK and other industrialized countries including China & India encountered b4 they finally succeeded on any technological development? What do you expect UK’s BBC to say but to call any of our attempt to break away from the mold of our technological dependency on them a "white elephant" as long as we keep producing raw materials for them to add value & turn around to sell the finished product to us at exorbitant cost. Given the potential for a good monetary return and given our location in a region that is marginalized technologically, we should not give up on satellite technology with a goal to have Nigerian experts trained quickly and learn-by-doing the practical aspect of the control so Nigerians can eventually take over the design & manufacturing of the tools and eventually launching them ourselves. Who knows where this technological know-how can take us? India, a relatively poor country like Nigeria recently launched its space exploration program, we could too. But, too much reliance on countries like China which may sabotage us, for instance, because of the recent suspension of Railroad contract with China, is risky. The more reason to speed up the training of our local Engineers to take over the full mission control of the project.
