As part of the weeklong activities commemorating the 30th Anniversary of the 1995 Call to the Bar, the Nigerian Law School Class of 1995 proudly commissioned a Solar Inverter System Project at the Law Library, Lagos Campus.
This remarkable undertaking stands as a demonstration of the Call Set’s enduring commitment to excellence, service, and gratitude. It reflects a shared vision to give back to the Law School from where we emerged as Lawyers , while advancing the cause of legal education and research in Nigeria. The project was conceived to enhance the Library’s operational efficiency and to create a more conducive learning environment for students and staff alike. By providing a sustainable and dependable source of power, it directly addresses the long-standing challenge of erratic electricity supply within the facility.
The Solar Inverter System is specially designed to support the Library’s off-peak energy load, thereby reducing reliance on the public power grid and cutting operational costs. The installation supplies electricity to LED lighting, sockets, printers, laptops, computers, and fans in both the Library and staff offices, excluding air conditioners. The power source operates on a prioritization model of Solar → Grid → Generator, with a generation capacity of 50,000 watts (50 kW). The system is scalable, allowing for future expansion, and functions optimally between 9:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., which corresponds with the Library’s busiest hours.
The project comprises a 15/18 kVA hybrid inverter system, a 50 kW solar panel array, and 10 kWh lithium battery storage. The sum paid for the project covers equipment, accessories, logistics, and six months of post-installation maintenance. The equipment is backed by robust warranties: Inverters (3 years), Lithium Batteries (5 years), and Solar Panels (12 years). Installation was undertaken by competent solar energy professionals, ensuring quality, durability, and long-term performance.
With more funds, this project can be expanded to cover other parts of the school.
The commissioning of this project represents not merely a technical improvement, but a symbolic legacy—a beacon of innovation, foresight, and unity by the Nigerian Law School Class of 1995. It serves as a testament to the Class’s unwavering resolve to contribute meaningfully to the sustenance and progress of their alma mater.
The Class of 1994, which became the Call Set of 1995, extends heartfelt appreciation to all members, benefactors, and donors whose generosity, vision, and dedication brought this noble initiative to fruition. Our collective effort has illuminated not only the halls of the Lagos Campus Library but also the spirit of service and excellence that defines the noble tradition of the Nigerian Law School.
