Lighting
60+ LED fittings across a full property
Fans
20 ceiling or standing fans through working hours
Office & IT
20 desktop computers and 5 printers running all day
Water & pumps
1–2 borehole or water pump units (1.5HP)
Workshop equipment
1–2 light machines such as CNC or production tools (3kW)
Ideal for
Small factories, shops, schools, clinics, and large homes

What 30kW Clients Say
"30kW was exactly right for our shop — lighting, AC, and POS systems all run without a hitch, and we've barely touched the generator since commissioning."
Chidinma Okafor
Owner, Boutique Retail Store, Lagos
"Olasupo's team walked our classrooms and offices before quoting, so the 30kW system actually matches our load. Installation was done in under 5 weeks."
Tunde Balogun
Proprietor, Private School, Ibadan
"Reliable power for our refrigeration and equipment has made a real difference. The staged payment plan meant we didn't have to find ₦15M all at once."

30kW Solar System — Common Questions
How much does a 30kW solar system cost in Nigeria?
A fully installed 30kW hybrid system typically costs ₦13,000,000–₦18,000,000, 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 30kW system need?
Around 180–210 square meters of unshaded space. Roof-mounted is standard for most shops and small offices; ground-mounted works where roof space or structural strength is limited.
How long does installation take?
4–6 weeks from deposit to commissioning for a standard 30kW install, covering procurement, mounting, wiring, and testing. Installation is scheduled to avoid interrupting your operating hours wherever possible.
Is 30kW enough to replace my generator completely?
For most small commercial properties running 8–10 hours of daytime load, yes — 30kW with an appropriately sized battery can cover the majority or all of daily operating hours. Heavier loads such as multiple AC units or workshop machinery running late may need battery sizing above the standard range, or a larger system. We size this properly before you commit.
What warranty comes with a 30kW 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.
