Abuja Residential — 7.2 kWp Solar + 15 kWh Battery
A family home in Abuja eliminates diesel dependency with a compact solar and battery system
System Type
Residential solar + storage
Project Goal
Reduce diesel dependence and improve uptime
Coverage
Abuja, FCT
The Challenge
This family home in Abuja was almost entirely reliant on a petrol generator for daily electricity. With grid supply averaging just 4–6 hours per day, the generator ran for most of the household's waking hours — burning through ₦80,000–120,000 in fuel every month. Frequent outages disrupted work-from-home routines and the children's schoolwork, and the constant generator noise and fumes had become a serious quality-of-life issue.
The Solution
InfraSol deployed a 7.2 kWp monocrystalline solar array on the rooftop, paired with a Deye 6 kVA hybrid inverter and a 15 kWh LiFePO₄ battery bank. The system was sized specifically to cover the household's full daytime load — lighting, fans, electronics, and a small AC unit — with enough battery reserves to carry essential loads through the evening. The entire system was purchased outright at ₦5.6M.
The Outcome
Generator usage completely eliminated — the unit has not been started since installation
Monthly fuel saving of approximately ₦90,000, freeing up budget for other household priorities
Full payback projected at 4.8 years, with 20+ years of additional savings ahead

Financial Payback Analysis
System Lifecycle & Quality
Premium Jinko Solar Panels: Industry-leading panels with 25-30 year lifespan and 25-year performance warranty. Expect 80-85% efficiency even after 25 years of operation.
High-Quality Lithium Batteries: Advanced lithium battery systems designed for 10+ years of reliable operation. Battery replacement typically needed after year 10-12, maintaining your savings throughout the system's life.
Note: These projections model realistic degradation for premium systems (~0.3% panel + ~0.5% battery per year), normal operating conditions, and regular maintenance. Actual performance may vary based on usage patterns and environmental factors.
