What Moves You Within a Price Range
At every size, the same four factors decide whether you land at the low or high end of the range.
Battery capacity
The biggest single lever at any size — more backup hours means a bigger, more expensive battery bank.
Site condition
Roof condition or land grading, soil conditions, and access all shift mounting and civil works costs.
Cable run distance
Longer runs between panels, inverters, and the switchboard mean more cabling and higher labor hours.
Load profile
Continuous 24-hour loads need larger inverters and batteries than daytime-only operations, raising the total.

Why Bigger Systems Cost Less Per kW
A 5kW system runs roughly ₦560,000 per installed kW, while a 5MW system runs roughly ₦300,000–₦390,000 per kW. The gap comes down to a few things:
Bulk equipment ordering
Panels, inverters, and battery cells are ordered in far larger volumes at scale, lowering the per-unit landed cost.
Shared logistics costs
Shipping and clearing costs are spread across a much larger equipment volume rather than repeated per small order.
Fixed labor overhead
Site mobilization, project management, and design work cost roughly the same whether the system is 10kW or 5MW.
Simpler racking per kW
Larger ground-mount arrays use more standardized racking runs than the varied roof layouts smaller systems need.
Compare Against What You're Paying Now
Most clients switching from diesel want to see the payback period before committing to a size. These tools do that math.
Ways to Pay, at Any Size
Most clients above 100kW structure payment rather than paying the full price upfront — here's how it's typically done.
Full Upfront Payment
Pay the full installed cost at commissioning. Lowest total cost, and savings start immediately from month one.
Staged Payment Plan
Split into deposit, milestone, and commissioning payments tied to equipment delivery and construction stages. No interest, spread across the build.
Lease-to-Own / PPA Financing
Structured monthly payments or a power purchase agreement below your current diesel spend, so cash flow improves from day one. Available through select partners — ask us for current terms.

"We started at the price list to sanity-check our budget, then moved to the itemized 2MW breakdown once we knew roughly where we'd land."
Olumide Fashola
Group Managing Director, Industrial Holding Company, Ogun State
"Seeing the per-kW cost drop at larger sizes helped us justify consolidating three smaller sites into one bigger system instead."

Solar System Price List — Common Questions
What's the cheapest solar system size to install?
A 5kW system is the smallest we typically install, running approximately ₦2,800,000 fully installed — suited to a small home, shop, or office.
Why does price per kW drop as system size increases?
Bulk equipment ordering, shared logistics costs, fixed labor overhead, and simpler racking layouts at scale all bring the per-kW cost down — from roughly ₦560,000/kW at 5kW to ₦300,000–₦390,000/kW at 5MW.
How do I know which size is right for my business?
Send your current diesel or grid electricity bill on WhatsApp and we'll size a system against your actual load profile, rather than guessing from square footage alone.
Are these prices for the full installation, or just equipment?
All prices listed are fully installed — equipment, cabling, civil works, labor, and commissioning are included, not added on top.
Is financing available at smaller sizes too?
Staged payment plans and lease-to-own options are most common above 100kW, though smaller commercial systems can sometimes qualify — ask us for current terms against your size.
Not Sure Which Size Fits You?
Send us your current diesel or grid bill on WhatsApp. We'll size it against your actual load and return a real, itemized quote — free, no obligation.
