How to size solar for a Nigerian home
Start with the appliances you actually use, their wattage and how many hours you need them to run—not just the number of rooms.
Solar knowledge

Clear, practical guidance for choosing and using solar equipment in Nigerian homes and businesses.
Start with the basics
Three things every buyer should know
Lithium or tubular battery?
Compare upfront budget, expected usage, available space, maintenance and long-term replacement cost before deciding.
What an installation quote should include
A good quote accounts for panels, mounting, protection, cable runs, changeover, labour, testing and after-sales support.
Common questions
Quick answers before you buy
Can I add more panels or batteries later?
Often, yes—but expansion must stay within the inverter, charge controller and battery manufacturer limits. Tell us your future plans during sizing.
Will solar power my air conditioner?
Yes, when the inverter, battery and solar array are sized for the AC’s running power, startup behaviour and the number of hours you expect to use it.
Do I need a site assessment?
It is recommended for installed packages. It helps confirm your load, cable routes, panel space, shading and distribution-board requirements before the final quote.
