The Problem

Lightning doesn't have to hit your panels to destroy them.

A strike within a few kilometres creates a surge of electricity that travels down your DC cables and hits your inverter, charge controller, and battery in microseconds.

By the time you see the flash or hear the thunder, the damage is already done. Standard home insurance in Nigeria rarely covers solar equipment — and claims take months to settle.

Every rainy season, thousands of Nigerian families lose their systems this way. Most of them had no warning.

Frequently Asked

Answers to common questions.

Do I need internet for StormLok to work?
You need internet for the app to fetch weather and lightning data. The alert system and the alarm work entirely on your phone, but the weather data comes from online sources. If you lose internet during a storm, the app keeps showing the last reading.
What happens if my Xweather key stops working?
Contact your installer or the developer. The key can be reset in a few minutes and re-entered. Your app settings and history are preserved.
Will the alarm wake me up at night?
Yes. StormLok uses your phone's notification system, which fires even when the screen is locked or the app is in the background. That's the point — storms don't schedule themselves for convenient hours.
Does it work on iPhone?
Not currently. StormLok is built for Android. An iOS version is under consideration for the future.
How accurate is the lightning data?
StormLok uses Xweather's professional-grade detection network, which covers the whole of Africa. Every confirmed strike is reported with its distance and age.
Can I use it on multiple phones?
Yes. Install StormLok on any phone the app is licensed for. Each phone gets its own Xweather account so nothing is shared.
What if I change phones?
Your installer or the developer can help you move StormLok to your new phone. Your Xweather key stays valid — you just re-enter it.
Does StormLok work if my phone is on silent?
The alarm uses your phone's notification sound. If your phone is on silent, the alarm will be muted too — but the vibration and the flashing screen still work. For best results, leave your phone on sound during storm season.
Is it a replacement for physical surge protection?
No. StormLok is an early-warning tool. A proper surge protection device (SPD) and earthing are still the best defence. StormLok complements them by giving you time to disconnect manually — which is critical for systems without an SPD.
Where is my data stored?
Everything lives on your phone. Location, Xweather key, readings, and event history are all stored locally. Nothing is uploaded to any server operated by StormLok or the developer.
