What Commercial Solar Actually Means
Commercial solar is a hybrid system sized specifically for business-scale loads — typically 15kW and above — pairing solar panels with an inverter and battery bank to replace or drastically cut diesel and grid dependence. Unlike a residential install, a commercial system has to account for three-phase power, continuous operating hours, and equipment that can't tolerate downtime.
We handle the full process end to end: load audit, system design, equipment procurement, civil and electrical installation, and commissioning — with one team accountable for the whole job, not separate vendors for equipment and install.
Who We Install For
Every industry has a different load profile — here's how we typically size and price for each.
Factories & Manufacturing
Continuous production lines, compressors, and heavy motor loads sized against real usage.
Hotels & Hospitality
HVAC, laundry, kitchen equipment, and guest-facing loads running near round the clock.
Hospitals & Clinics
Critical-load backup for diagnostic equipment, theatres, and ward power.
Schools & Campuses
Classroom blocks, labs, hostels, and admin buildings on a shared system.
Warehousing & Cold Storage
Refrigeration and freezer units that can't tolerate power interruptions.
Estates & Mixed-Use
Housing estates and office parks running shared borehole pumps and common-area loads.
Why Lagos Businesses Are Switching
Grid supply in Lagos remains inconsistent for most commercial sites, pushing businesses onto diesel generators that run for long stretches of the working day. Diesel cost, noise, and maintenance add up fast at commercial scale — solar removes the fuel bill entirely and cuts generator runtime to a backup role instead of a primary power source.
Diesel cost keeps climbing
Fuel spend for a mid-size commercial generator often runs into millions of naira monthly.
Generator wear and maintenance
Heavy daily use shortens generator lifespan and adds constant servicing cost.
Noise and emissions
Solar runs silently with no exhaust — a real factor for hotels, hospitals, and estates.
Predictable long-term cost
Once installed, solar output is free — your main ongoing cost is minimal upkeep.
Not Sure What Size You Need?
We install everything from 15kW for a single commercial unit to 5MW for a utility-scale industrial complex. See every size and its typical fully-installed price in one place.

The same process at every scale — timelines stretch out for larger systems mainly due to equipment lead time.
Site survey & load audit
We assess your current diesel/grid spend, roof or land space, and actual load profile.
System design & sizing
Panel, inverter, and battery sizing matched to your load — not a generic package.
Equipment procurement
Panels, inverter, and battery bank sourced direct, with no middleman markup.
Civil & electrical installation
Mounting, cabling, and switchboard integration handled by our installation team.
Commissioning & handover
Load testing, monitoring setup, and staff walkthrough before final handover.
Ways to Pay
Most commercial clients above 100kW structure payment rather than pay the full cost upfront.
Full Upfront Payment
Pay the full installed cost at commissioning. Lowest total cost, savings start from month one.
Staged Payment Plan
Split into deposit, milestone, and commissioning payments tied to project stages. No interest.
Lease-to-Own / PPA Financing
Structured payments below your current diesel spend. Available through select partners — ask us for current terms.

"Our generator bill was the biggest line item on our monthly overhead. The team sized the system against our actual occupancy pattern instead of just our building size."
Adaeze Umeh
General Manager, Boutique Hotel, Victoria Island
"Having procurement and installation under one team meant no finger-pointing between an equipment supplier and an installer when questions came up on site."
Kelechi Anyanwu
Operations Manager, Manufacturing Plant, Ikeja
"We were nervous about disruption during term time, but the installation was scheduled around our school calendar without issue."

Commercial Solar in Lagos — Common Questions
What size commercial solar system do I need?
It depends on your actual load, not just floor space — send your current diesel or grid bill on WhatsApp and we'll size it properly. Commercial systems typically start around 15kW for a single unit and scale up to several megawatts for industrial complexes.
Do you install outside Lagos?
Yes — alongside Lagos, we install in Abuja, Rivers, Ogun, and Kano, and can scope other locations on request.
How long does a commercial installation take?
Smaller commercial systems can be installed in a few weeks; larger industrial systems (500kW and above) typically take 24 to 52 weeks, mostly due to equipment procurement lead time.
Is financing available for commercial installs?
Most clients above 100kW use a staged payment plan, and some qualify for lease-to-own financing through our partners. Full upfront payment gets the lowest total cost.
Do you handle both equipment and installation?
Yes — we manage the full process from site survey through commissioning with one accountable team, rather than separate vendors for equipment and installation.
