"Should I wait for dry season?" Many people in Port Harcourt, Warri and Yenagoa ask this. Here is the honest answer.
Dry season
About November to February.
- Roofs are dry. Work is easier.
- Panels produce well (with some harmattan haze).
- Busy season for installers, so book early.
Rainy season
About March or April to October.
- Work happens in dry windows between showers.
- Everything is sealed against rain.
- You start saving fuel right away.
What matters more than the month
| Thing | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Sizing for rainy season | So the system keeps up from April to October |
| Good installer | Proper sealing and mounting |
| Starting sooner | Every month of waiting = more fuel bought |
The cost of waiting
If you spend ₦360,000 a month on petrol, waiting four months for "dry season" costs about ₦1.4M. That is a big part of a system.
