Solar for Production Companies in Nigeria
For bottling, food and beverage, packaging, and other FMCG production companies, an hour of downtime doesn't just cost diesel — it costs units off the line and unmet targets. Olasupo Energy designs, supplies, and installs complete solar systems around your production output, not just your generator size, so power stays on for the runs that matter most.

What Downtime Really Costs a Production Line
The average Nigerian FMCG or food and beverage production company running 250kva–500kva of generator capacity spends between ₦3,500,000 and ₦7,000,000 every month on diesel. But the bigger cost is often what happens when a generator trips mid-run — spoiled batches in refrigerated lines, restart delays on filling and packaging equipment, and missed daily output targets. At current fuel prices following subsidy removal, diesel-only power has become both expensive and a genuine production risk. A solar system we design and install for you reduces both.
Designed, Supplied, and Installed — In-House
Most Nigerian production companies overpay for solar because they buy through resellers who layer markup on top of generic, oversized systems that don't protect the equipment that actually matters. Olasupo Energy is a commercial solar company, not a broker — we design every system ourselves around your filling lines, refrigeration, and packaging equipment, source the equipment, and install and commission it with our own engineers, scheduled around your production runs.
In-house engineering & design
Our engineers size and design every system around your filling, capping, and refrigeration equipment — 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.
Production Company Solar System Sizes and Costs in Nigeria
Commercial solar system pricing for a Nigerian production company depends on line count, refrigeration load, and how much output is at risk during a power interruption. Here is a realistic cost guide for Nigerian FMCG and production facilities.
Prices last verified: 2026-08-13.
100kw System
Small production units & single production lines, 150kva–250kva generators
250kw System
Mid-size FMCG & food production, multiple lines with refrigeration, 300kva–500kva generators
750kw+ System
Large-scale bottling & packaging plants, continuous production, 750kva+ generators
What a Production Line Solar Installation Looks Like in Nigeria
A typical 250kw commercial solar installation covers approximately 1,500 square metres of rooftop with 500–600 high-efficiency monocrystalline panels. Because filling, capping, and refrigeration equipment on a production line can't tolerate an unplanned restart mid-batch, we prioritise battery coverage for those specific loads first, then size the rest of the system around general facility power.
Installation for a 250kw system takes 4–7 weeks from contract signing to commissioning. We schedule the bulk of rooftop and wiring work around planned line-cleaning or changeover windows wherever possible, so scheduled runs are never interrupted.

What Production Clients Say
"A tripped generator used to mean a spoiled batch on our filling line. Since the battery bank went in, we haven't lost a run to a power gap."
Yetunde Alabi
Production Manager, Bottling Plant, Ogun
"Olasupo's team asked which machines we couldn't afford to lose power to before they designed anything. That mattered more to us than the panel count."
Kelechi Umeh
Operations Lead, Snack Foods Producer, Lagos
"Installation was timed around our changeover days, so we didn't lose a scheduled run. Diesel spend has come down noticeably since."
Grace Effiong
Plant Supervisor, Packaging Company, Ibadan

Production Company Solar Questions — Answered
How much does commercial solar installation cost for a Nigerian production company?
Production-line solar system costs in Nigeria range from ₦38,000,000 for a 100kw single-line setup to ₦460,000,000+ for a 750kw+ installation covering large-scale bottling or packaging operations. The exact cost depends on generator capacity, line count, and refrigeration load. Contact us for a free property-specific assessment.
Can solar protect refrigerated or cold-chain production lines specifically?
Yes. During the site assessment, we identify which equipment can't tolerate an interruption — refrigeration, filling lines, capping machines — and prioritise battery coverage for those loads first, so a power gap doesn't spoil a batch or trigger a costly restart.
Will installation disrupt scheduled production runs?
We aim to schedule the bulk of rooftop and wiring work around planned line-cleaning or changeover windows wherever the project timeline allows. A typical 250kw installation takes 4–7 weeks from contract signing to commissioning, and we coordinate closely with production planning to minimise any impact on output.
Do I need to buy the solar system outright or is financing available?
Both options are available. We offer flexible financing and lease-to-own arrangements directly, so production companies can go solar with little to no upfront cost and repay through monthly diesel savings — often resulting in positive cash flow from day one.
