Do not get a solar or inverter system until you read and digest this information.

Nigerians are always in haste in making decisions. We want something very urgent without considering vital factors surrounding what we need.

I will try to be as brief as possible. Having been in this field for over 5 years, I've met people of different mindsets.

Due to the poor electricity in Nigeria, many have opted for various alternatives to have access to electricity.

 
Some have gotten generators, which is a popular option as it looks cheap to them at the start point.

But looking carefully into the generator, you will understand that you're only wasting money in the long run. In my estate here in Lagos, I have seen a lot of people that put on their generators round the clock. They put them on overnight, from 7pm till 7am. And I wonder what the show of wealth is in doing that. Aside from the cost of running a generator for that long, with the current insecurity in the country, this attitude can endanger an individual when sound is emitting from your compound at odd hours at night.

Many have frowned at the technology of solar as it's been too expensive, fake products that lead to its packing up in no time, and many more reasons. The truth remains that solar power is expensive.

I have said this again and again: solar is an investment, and if you want to get the technology, you need to plan and get it right the first time. But I came across a lot of people who, when you try to educate them, will feel you want to rip them off their money.

A woman came to me to get a solar freezer some time last year. I told her the freezer and accessories, which include batteries, solar panels, solar charge controller, and cabling, would cost her 585K. She began to lament. After some long conversation, she then opened up to me, saying that she's pained that a young man had just deceived her to spend over 350K to power her deep freezer, which did not work. The system can't even power the freezer for 30 minutes.

 
I asked her what the components of the system were and she said a 200ah battery, two solar panels, and a 1000w inverter. At this point, I was dumbfounded. If it's that cheap, everyone in Nigeria will own a solar power system. Then I told her, to power your deep freezer, madam, you need a rugged Indian inverter at least a 2.5 kVA with 4 batteries and a minimum of 8 to 10 giant solar panels. If the freezer is to be powered along with other appliances, then you'll need a minimum of a 3.5 kVA system, which may cost an average of 1.45 million naira. You see, the young man just needed her money at that instance, not minding if she was going to get value from his service.

 

I always tell people, after presenting a quotation to them, that you may get it cheaper elsewhere.

To be honest, solar is the way forward, despite its initial cost. Its benefits outweigh the cost. 

 
There are too many solar materials on the market these days, which makes it difficult for some engineers to even know which material is fake or genuine.

 
There are systems you will install that can serve you for up to 7 to 10 years, and there are systems you'll install that won't exceed 6 months. How pathetic that can be!

The pain of spending a huge amount of money with the hope of getting maximum comfort and immense value for your money can be frustrating if you don't get it right.

We are here to guide you from your energy auditing stage to the commissioning of the project.


You will get a system with a 3 year documented warranty, free system maintenance in the first 18 months, a 7-year guarantee on the battery, a 25-year guarantee on solar panels, and a 10 year guarantee on the inverter, an opportunity to make payment after delivering and installing the system, and a lot more.

We know the financial implications involved. That's why our team of professional engineers are willing to deliver a state-of-the-art service that promises to exceed your expectations.


You can not get it wrong with us.

We sell inverters, batteries, solar panels, solar charge controllers, solar flood lights and street lights, solar pumping machines, solar freezers and refrigerators, solar water heaters, solar cookers, and many other solar accessories.

batteries that will run dead in no time. When there's no sufficient sunlight u can't use even when there's sunlight u won't use it long. I wasted my money on that nonsense. If u have only phone or mo3 then go for it but for a real business don't waste your cash.

I can feel your pain, may I know how much was the system you got? A nairalander contacted me recently to power 3 fans, I have him a cost of 450k with Money back guaranteed but he said it's too much....but I told him, he will always see a cheaper offer elsewhere which will lead to this exact lamentation. Like I said, solar is an investment. You don't spend 200k and want to have 24 hours of electricity. If you want to learn more I can educate you to enable you make an informed buying decision, it's not about selling, it's about satisfaction and getting value for the amount been spent.
Below is our offering.
