What a 100kW System Actually Powers
A useful way to size-check: 100kW comfortably runs a larger office building, retail chain, or light-industrial facility through a normal working day. Here's a typical load for a property this size.
Refrigeration
4–6 commercial fridges/freezers or a walk-in cold room running continuously
Office space
30–40 offices of lighting, AC units, and computers
Production lines
One to two light-industrial production lines or workshop floors
Water & pumps
Multiple borehole pumps and water treatment equipment
POS & IT systems
Multi-branch POS terminals, servers, and networking gear
General lighting
Full-property lighting across multiple buildings through evening hours

What 100kW Clients Say
"Our cold rooms run 24/7 and Olasupo's team sized the battery bank to actually cover that, not just a generic number. 100kW has carried our full load since commissioning."
Chidinma Okafor
General Manager, Cold Storage, Lagos
"Installation was staged around our production schedule so we never lost a shift. Nine weeks start to finish, and the system has handled both our production lines without issue."
Tunde Bakare
Plant Manager, Light Manufacturing, Ogun State
"We were quoting diesel costs across four branches before this. The lease-to-own option meant we didn't need capex approval to move forward, and the savings showed up from month one."

100kW Solar System — Common Questions
How much does a 100kW solar system cost in Nigeria?
A fully installed 100kW hybrid system typically costs ₦42,000,000–₦55,000,000, depending on battery capacity, roof condition, and cable run distance. This includes panels, inverter, battery storage, mounting, and installation labor.
How much roof or land space does a 100kW system need?
Around 600–700 square meters of unshaded space. Roof-mounted is standard for most commercial properties; ground-mounted works where roof space or structural strength is limited, or where the load is spread across multiple buildings.
How long does installation take?
8–10 weeks from deposit to commissioning for a standard 100kW install, covering procurement, mounting, wiring, and testing. Installation is scheduled to avoid interrupting your operating hours wherever possible.
Is 100kW enough to replace my generator completely?
For most larger commercial or light-industrial properties running 8–10 hours of daytime load, yes — 100kW with an appropriately sized battery can cover the majority or all of daily operating hours. Heavy 24-hour loads or multiple production lines may need battery sizing above the standard range, or a larger system. We size this properly before you commit.
What warranty comes with a 100kW system?
10 years on panels and our installation workmanship, with 5–10 years on the inverter and battery depending on the brand selected. We'll walk through exact terms for your chosen equipment before you sign off.
