How to Get Commercial Solar for Your Business in Nigeria
From your first WhatsApp message to a signed EPC contract — here is exactly how Olasupo Energy connects Nigerian factories, hotels, hospitals, schools, estates and warehouses to vetted commercial solar installers. You pay nothing. We earn commission from the installer only when a deal closes.

Understanding who does what makes the entire commercial solar procurement process make sense immediately.
You — The Business
The factory, hotel, hospital, school, estate, or warehouse that needs commercial solar and wants a fair deal at direct-source pricing.

EPC Company — The Installer
The vetted commercial solar installation company that conducts the site assessment, designs the system, and installs it.
You Contact Us on WhatsApp
Every commercial solar enquiry — factory, hotel, hospital, school, estate, or warehouse — starts with a single WhatsApp message. You tell us what type of facility you have and roughly what your diesel situation looks like. That is all we need to begin.
No forms, no registration, no waiting for a callback. Our WhatsApp is monitored Monday to Saturday 8am–6pm and we respond within 5 minutes during business hours.
What to include in your first message
We Qualify Your Requirements in 15 Minutes
We ask you five specific questions on WhatsApp. Not to gatekeep — but because the answers determine which EPC company in our network is the strongest match for your facility, your location, and your budget.
This conversation takes 10–15 minutes and happens entirely on WhatsApp at your pace. No phone calls required unless you prefer one.

We Match You to the Right EPC Installer
Based on your answers we select the EPC company in our vetted network that is the strongest fit for your specific situation. Different installers specialize in different facility types, system sizes, and regions of Nigeria — we match based on all three.
We introduce you directly on WhatsApp with a full brief of your requirements so the installer arrives at your facility already prepared — not asking the same questions from scratch.
How we vet every EPC partner
Completed project track record
We only work with EPC companies that have completed at least three commercial installations above 100kw with verifiable references.
Technical team qualifications
Every partner has licensed electrical engineers and certified solar installation technicians on their permanent staff.
Response time commitment
Partners must respond to qualified referrals within 24 hours or leads are rerouted to a competing partner.
Pricing transparency
We benchmark every partner's pricing against market rates. Any partner that consistently over-quotes loses their referral relationship.
Free Site Assessment — No Cost, No Obligation
Your matched EPC company contacts you within 24–48 hours to schedule a site visit. Their engineers come to your facility, assess the rooftop, measure the electrical load, review the generator setup, and design the optimal solar system for your specific situation.
This is completely free. You are under no obligation to proceed after the assessment. The site visit produces a full system design and detailed cost proposal — which is what you use to make your decision.
We Review the Proposal With You Before You Sign Anything
This is the step that makes Olasupo Energy different from every other referral model in the Nigerian solar market. Before you sign the installation contract, you share the proposal with us and we review it line by line.
We check the system sizing against your load requirements, verify the component specifications, compare the pricing against current market rates, and flag anything that looks inflated or wrong-sized. If something is off, we tell you — even if it costs us commission.
What we check in every proposal
Contract Signed. Installation Begins. We Collect Commission.
Once you are satisfied with the proposal and sign the contract, installation begins. The EPC company manages the entire installation — procurement, rooftop work, electrical connection, battery installation, inverter setup, and commissioning. You continue operating normally throughout.
When the first payment is made to the EPC company, our commission is triggered — paid entirely by the installer, never added to your quote. This is how the entire model remains free to you from start to finish.

Questions About the Commercial Solar Process
Is Olasupo Energy's service really free?
Yes — completely free from first message to signed contract. We earn a referral commission paid by the EPC installer, not by you. The commission is built into the installer's project margin and does not change your quote. We verify this by reviewing every proposal before you sign.
What if I do not like the proposal from the matched installer?
You are under no obligation. If the proposal does not meet your requirements after our review, we can reroute you to a different EPC partner in our network for a second assessment and proposal. We want you to get the right deal, not just any deal.
How do I know the EPC installer you match me with is legitimate?
Every EPC partner in our network has been vetted against a specific criteria checklist — completed project track record above 100kw, licensed engineering team, verifiable client references, and pricing transparency. We also benchmark their quotes against market rates and flag anything inflated.
Can I contact multiple EPC companies myself instead?
You can, but without benchmark pricing data and insider knowledge of which companies are technically strongest for your facility type and location, you are likely to receive inconsistent quotes and lack the ability to evaluate them fairly. Our proposal review step specifically solves that problem.
What happens after the solar system is installed?
The EPC company provides ongoing warranty and maintenance support as part of the installation contract. Olasupo Energy remains your contact point — if you have issues with the installed system or want to expand with additional capacity later, you come back to us and we manage that process.
How long does the whole process take from first message to installation complete?
From first WhatsApp message to a signed contract is typically 3–4 weeks. Installation then takes 4–12 weeks depending on system size — a 100kw system installs in 3–4 weeks, a 500kw system takes 8–12 weeks. Total from first contact to operating solar system is typically 8–16 weeks.
Does this process work the same for hotels, hospitals, schools, and estates — not just factories?
Yes. The qualification, EPC matching, site assessment, and proposal review process is identical across every facility type we serve. Only the system sizing, battery configuration, and EPC specialization differ based on your specific load profile.
We Match Businesses in Every Major Nigerian City
Every referral is location-matched to an installer who knows the local grid conditions, council requirements, and installation logistics in your area.
