What Is Diesel Really Costing Your Business?
The average mid-sized Nigerian business with a 100kva generator spends between ₦900,000 and ₦1,500,000 every month on diesel alone. At current fuel prices following subsidy removal, that figure has increased by over 200% since 2022.
Over a 10-year period, a business spending ₦1,200,000 monthly on diesel is burning through ₦144,000,000 on fuel that produces nothing beyond keeping the lights on. A 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.

A typical commercial solar installation in Nigeria takes 3–10 weeks from contract signing to commissioning, depending on system size. A 30kw system typically installs in 2–3 weeks. A 300kw+ system takes 6–10 weeks including equipment procurement and structural work.
