Solar Design Nigeria
Energy Usage
Understanding your household's energy usage is essential for sizing a solar system in Nigeria. Most households in Nigeria use around 15 kWh per day, whilst energy efficient homes can reduce this to roughly half.
Before installing solar it is often a good investment to first look to reduce your energy consumption where possible. This can be done through improved insulation, and energy efficient appliances.
Typical energy usage per person per day in Nigeria:
Note: Actual usage varies depending on property size, building efficiency, climate, and appliances.
Solar System Sizing
You'll need around 3.9kW of solar to match your average consumption. Optimal sizing ranges from 5.9kW to 7.9kW to accommodate daily and seasonal generation variations.
A 6.6 kW solar array in Nigeria delivers approximately 30.4 kWh daily, with generation varying seasonally from 4.28 kWh/kW/day in December up to 4.94 kWh/kW/day in September.
Solar & Energy Savings
Calculate Heat Pump & EV Savings
Electrify your home by replacing gas heating, petrol vehicles, and other fossil fuel appliances with electric alternatives powered by clean solar energy. This delivers significant additional financial savings and substantial carbon emission reductions. Our calculator helps you compare costs and model the financial impact of switching to electric appliances and vehicles.
How Solar Reduces Your Electricity Bills
The calculations below show how your electricity bills change with solar. Your Old Bill of - per month (- annually) is calculated from your total energy consumption multiplied by the grid electricity rate. Your New Bill of - per month (- annually) accounts for solar generation, the percentage you use directly (self-consumption), remaining grid consumption, and feed-in credits for excess energy exported to the grid. This results in monthly savings of - (- annually).
Battery Storage Nigeria
Solar Battery Sizing
A 6.6 kW solar-only setup in Nigeria delivers around 50% self-sufficiency, leaving 50% dependent on grid electricity. Including a 10 kWh battery typically raises annual self-sufficiency to around 99%, with grid reliance dropping to 1%.
To get precise battery savings and payback figures, use the complete Photonik design platform.

Solar & Battery System Cost Nigeria
Understanding Solar & Battery System Costs
Solar installation costs in Nigeria start at approximately ₦2,336,845 for a 6.6 kW system, with a 10 kWh battery bringing the total to around ₦4,712,923. Solar installations typically pay for themselves within around 7.1 years, whilst batteries extend payback but deliver significantly higher energy independence.
Pricing includes equipment, labour, and taxes. Use the sliders to adjust system size and battery capacity, observing how changes impact total cost and payback.
