Commercial Solar Energy Nigeria
Nigerian offices, hotels, schools, retail stores, and banks running on commercial solar are eliminating up to 80% of their diesel and electricity costs permanently. Olasupo Energy designs, supplies, and installs complete commercial solar systems — engineered in-house by our own team, from load audit through commissioning, at outputs from 10kw to 500kw.

What Is Diesel and Grid Power Really Costing Your Business?
The average Nigerian commercial property running a 100–150kva generator alongside grid power spends between ₦1,800,000 and ₦3,200,000 every month on diesel and electricity combined. At current fuel and tariff prices following subsidy removal, that figure has increased by over 200% since 2022.
Over a 10-year period, a business spending ₦2,500,000 monthly on diesel and electricity is burning through ₦300,000,000 on power that adds nothing to the bottom line. A commercial solar system we design and install for you eliminates that liability permanently.

Designed, Supplied, and Installed — In-House
Most Nigerian businesses overpay for solar because they buy through resellers who layer markup on top of generic, undersized systems, then hand installation off to a subcontractor with no long-term stake in the result. Olasupo Energy is a commercial solar company, not a broker — we design every system ourselves, source the equipment, and install and commission it with our own engineers.

Our engineers size and design every system to your business's exact load profile — not a generic off-the-shelf package.
Sourced direct from manufacturers
We buy panels, inverters, and batteries direct from tier-1 manufacturers, cutting out reseller markup on your system.
Installed by our own crews
Our certified technicians install and commission every project — we don't subcontract to installers you've never met.
Warranty & maintenance, in-house
Every system carries our workmanship warranty, and our team handles ongoing monitoring and maintenance after commissioning.
Commercial Solar System Sizes and Costs in Nigeria
Commercial solar pricing in Nigeria depends on your property's load profile, generator capacity, and daily operating hours. Here is a realistic cost guide for Nigerian offices, hotels, schools, retail stores, and banks.
10kw System
Small offices, retail stores, clinics — 15–25kva generators
100kw System
Mid-size businesses, hotels & schools — 100–150kva generators
500kw System
Large commercial complexes & multi-branch operators — 500kva+ generators
What a Commercial Solar System Looks Like in Nigeria
A typical 100kw commercial installation covers approximately 600 square metres of rooftop and/or car-port-mounted array with 180–220 high-efficiency monocrystalline panels, paired with a lithium battery bank for overnight and after-hours storage and a hybrid inverter system that manages grid input during extended cloudy periods.
Installation for a 100kw system takes 4–8 weeks from contract signing to commissioning. Your business continues normal operations throughout — our crews sequence the build around your working hours and customer traffic.

Commercial Solar Questions — Answered
How much does a commercial solar system cost in Nigeria?
Commercial solar system costs in Nigeria range from ₦9,000,000 for a 10kw system to ₦420,000,000+ for a 500kw installation. The exact cost depends on your generator capacity, daily operating hours, available space, and battery storage requirements. Contact us for a free property-specific assessment.
Can a commercial solar system power a business that operates late into the night?
Yes. A hybrid commercial solar system with adequate battery storage can power a business well into the evening or overnight. The system generates and stores solar energy during daylight hours and draws from battery storage after hours, supplemented by minimal grid or generator input during extended cloudy periods.
How long does it take to install a commercial solar system in Nigeria?
A typical commercial solar installation in Nigeria takes 3–12 weeks from contract signing to commissioning, depending on system size. A 10kw system typically installs in 3–4 weeks. A 500kw system can take 10–12 weeks including equipment procurement and structural work.
What is the payback period for a commercial solar system in Nigeria?
At current Nigerian diesel and electricity prices, the payback period for a commercial solar system is typically 18–30 months depending on system size and consumption. After payback, the power is essentially free for the remaining 20+ year lifespan of the system.
Do I need to buy the commercial solar system outright or is financing available?
Both options are available. We offer flexible financing and lease-to-own arrangements directly, so you can go solar with little to no upfront cost and repay through your monthly savings — often resulting in positive cash flow from day one.
