📢 The Overlooked Problem: Sound Where Silence Matters
While solar power is celebrated for being clean and renewable, many residential users are caught off guard by one surprising issue:
👉 Noise from inverters and associated equipment.
In residential settings, especially in urban or semi-urban Nigeria where homes are tightly packed or multi-tenant, inverter noise can lead to:
- 🔉 Sleep disturbances (especially when inverters are installed in bedrooms or living rooms)
- 🔧 Misinterpreted inverter hums as equipment malfunctions
- 🏘️ Neighbors complaining in shared housing units or estates
- 😠 Customer dissatisfaction after installation, despite good power output
⚠️ Common case: A quiet apartment in Lagos installs a solar inverter system. At night, the soft but constant humming from the inverter fan keeps residents awake—especially during battery charging or high load.
🔍 What Causes Inverter Noise?
- Cooling Fans – Inverters with high heat generation often rely on fans that switch on/off with load changes.
- Transformer Vibration – Some low-frequency inverters emit a faint hum during DC-to-AC conversion.
- Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) – Can cause buzzing in nearby electronics or cables.
- Loose Mounting – Improper mounting can amplify sound through walls or metal brackets.
🎯 Jeho Ashar Energy’s Advantage: Quiet Energy Solutions

- Prefer pure sine wave inverters with lower EMI and cleaner signal output.
🤫 Result: Whisper-quiet operation, especially at night when silence matters most.
