A brief history of the Greenage technologies
Greenage technologies Power Systems Limited is one of the solar energy dealers and companies in Nigeria and was birthed in 2012 by the following people who were students of the University of Nigeria Nsukka at the time;
- Esumeh Aaron Ndidi
- Okereke Kingsley Nnagozie
- Nwangele Chukwuemeka Godwin
- Udeh Nnaemeka Isaac
- Ogechukwu Uchechukwu Emmanuel
These 5 were being mentored by a member of Esumeh’s church who had volunteered to accommodate them in his workshop and teach them how to make simple electronics.
The team began working at the research institute of the University of Nigeria Nsukka Energy Research Center.
In 2016 November, the governor of Enugu state, Governor Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi bought one of the team’s early inverter prototypes during the first trade fair in Nsukka.
This, in turn, boosted their morale and in 2017, they took the step towards cooperate registration as an energy-providing company.
On the 22nd day of February 2017, Greenage technologies registered as a company and officially launched its product into the market in November 2017. They have since then built a client base across 4 major cities which include: Enugu, Lagos State, PortHarcourt city, and Abuja.
