A young Nigerian man using self-generating electricity with solar panels has shared a video.
The man showed people one way he maintains his solar panels to generate more electricity in the dusty season.
Solar panels and lithium batteries
In one of his videos, he (@diy_village) revealed he uses lithium batteries for his solar electricity setup.
During his maintenance video, the man and a person used water and soap to clean the dust off his solar panels.

They carefully stood on the panels as they poured water on the surfaces. They used a soft brush to clean off the dust properly.
Many people wondered why he had his solar panels on the constructed ground mount instead of on his roof.
