The most intriguing of the company’s inventions is the Solar Powered Tricycle.
According to Arthur, the solar powered tricycle, branded as Arton, is powered by renewable energy from the sun and does not make use of Premium Motor Spirit (Fuel) or Automotive Gas Oil (Diesel) or any form of refined Oil or Gas as a main or alternative source of power, which according to the Engr Arthur is the first of its kind in Nigeria, where the high cost of fuel and poor electricity supply is affecting the socio – economic development of the country.
The company in an exhibition with the Minister for Environment, Amina J. Mohammed, on the 19th August 2016 at the end of the 10th National Council on Environment held in Lafia, Nasarawa State, unveiled the first Solar Powdered Tricycle.
Also on display was the Green Energy powered Freezing System which involved the use of bio-degradable matter in powering deep freezers without the use of electricity but sadly little has been said or heard about the invention on either print or broadcast media.
Apart from the tricycles, Arthur Energy Technology Limited produces Solar Generators, Solar Street/ Security Lighting Systems, Solar Bill boards/ Sign lights, Solar-Powered CCTV, Solar Fire Alarm Systems, Solar Home Power System, Inverter backups, Solar Boreholes and Water heating systems, Solar Fridges and Air Conditioning Sets, Solar Powered Telecom and Security Systems, Solar Powered ATM machines, Wind Power Generators etc.
