Solar Installation for Hotels in Nigeria
Hotels run some of the heaviest, most continuous loads in commercial power — HVAC, laundry, kitchen equipment, and guest-facing systems, near round the clock. We size and install hybrid solar systems built specifically for that load pattern, so guest experience never depends on diesel uptime.

Why Hotel Loads Need Different Sizing
A hotel's power profile looks nothing like a factory's. Load doesn't stop at close of business — HVAC and refrigeration run through the night, laundry cycles are heavy and periodic, and guest comfort has zero tolerance for outages. Sizing a hotel system means accounting for occupancy patterns, not just total connected load.
That usually means a larger battery bank relative to panel size than a daytime-only commercial site would need, so guest rooms and common areas stay powered through the night without leaning on generators.
What Gets Powered
The loads that matter most for guest experience and staff operations, sized against your actual room count and facilities.
HVAC & climate control
Room and common-area cooling — the single largest continuous load in most hotels.
Laundry operations
Heavy, periodic loads from washers and dryers running through the working day.
Kitchen & F&B equipment
Cooking equipment, refrigeration, and walk-in coolers for full-service kitchens.
Guest room & common areas
Lighting, TVs, and outlets across guest rooms, lobbies, and event spaces.
Pool & spa facilities
Pumps, filtration, and heating for pool and wellness facilities where present.
Front-of-house systems
Reception, booking systems, and security — loads that can't tolerate downtime.
Typical Sizing by Property Size
Rough starting points based on room count — your exact size depends on occupancy rate, HVAC load, and whether you run a full-service kitchen and laundry on-site.
| Property size | Typical system size | Link |
|---|---|---|
| 20–40 rooms (boutique) | ≈50kW–100kW | See specs |
| 40–80 rooms (mid-size) | ≈100kW–200kW | See specs |
| 80–150 rooms (large hotel) | ≈200kW–500kW | See specs |
| 150+ rooms / resort complex | 500kW–1MW+ | See specs |
Figures are starting estimates, 2026-08-08. Full- service kitchens, on-site laundry, spas, and pool facilities typically push a property to the higher end of its bracket. Ask us for an exact sizing against your property.
Installing Without Disrupting Guests
A live, occupied property needs a different install approach than a factory floor — here's how we manage that.
Site survey & occupancy review
We assess roof space, existing electrical setup, and occupancy patterns without disrupting operations.
System design & sizing
Panel, inverter, and battery sizing matched to your room count and facilities, not a generic package.
Scheduled, phased installation
Noisy or disruptive work is scheduled in blocks, often during lower-occupancy periods.
Electrical integration
Cabling and switchboard work coordinated to avoid extended downtime for any single area.
Commissioning & staff walkthrough
Load testing, monitoring setup, and a walkthrough with facilities staff before handover.
Ways to Pay
Most hotel and hospitality clients structure payment across the build rather than paying 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.

What Hotel Clients Say
"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 every size laid out with a price range made it easy to see where our 30-room property actually fit before we even reached out for a quote."
Chidinma Okoro
Owner, Boutique Hotel, Lekki
"We coordinated install across three properties at once. The phased scheduling meant no single property lost power during peak season."

Solar for Hotels — Common Questions
How much battery backup does a hotel actually need?
More than a daytime-only commercial site — hotel loads run through the night, so we typically size a larger battery bank relative to panel size to keep guest rooms and common areas powered without leaning on generators.
Will installation disrupt our guests?
We schedule disruptive work — like roof access or switchboard integration — in blocks, often during lower-occupancy periods, and coordinate closely with your facilities team throughout.
What size system does our property need?
Room count is a starting point, but occupancy rate, kitchen and laundry operations, and pool or spa facilities all affect final sizing. Send us your current diesel or electricity bill for an exact number.
Is financing available for hotel installs?
Most hospitality clients use a staged payment plan tied to project milestones, and some qualify for lease-to-own financing through our partners.
Do you install for hotel groups with multiple properties?
Yes — we can scope and size across multiple properties in a group, either as separate installs or coordinated together for procurement efficiency.
