WHC Solar, a power company operating in Nigeria, has trained nearly 300 solar installers in Kano State to improve their technical skills and reduce mistakes during the installation of solar power systems.
The training took place on Saturday, October 17, 2026, attracting more participants than the company had initially expected. WHC Solar had planned to train about 250 people, but attendance reached nearly 300.
Speaking during the programme, the company's Chief Executive Officer, Clint Chan, said the initiative was aimed at equipping installers with the practical knowledge required to deliver reliable solar power solutions to households, businesses and industries.
Chan explained that the company had identified gaps in the technical knowledge of some installers, which could lead to errors during installation and affect the performance of solar systems.
He said the training was organised to help technicians improve their skills and provide better services to customers.
The programme included practical sessions on installing and configuring inverters and lithium batteries. Participants were also taught how the different components communicate with one another when operating as part of a solar power system.
Chan said Nigeria's ongoing electricity challenges had increased the importance of expanding access to alternative energy sources.
He reaffirmed the company's commitment to remaining in Nigeria and supporting the growth of the country's solar energy sector.
Participants were expected to receive certificates recognising their participation in the training.
Also speaking at the event, solar distributor Sani Abdulkadir, popularly known as ABDK, observed that the use of solar energy among Nigerian households was growing.
He noted that solar installations had become increasingly common compared with previous years, as more people explored alternative ways to meet their electricity needs.
The training comes as solar energy continues to attract attention in Nigeria, where households and businesses are seeking alternatives to unreliable electricity supply.
By strengthening installers' technical skills, the company hopes to improve installation standards and encourage better service delivery across the growing renewable energy market.
