Project Overview

Mr. & Mrs. I faced severe power challenges that affected both their home and business operations. Relying on the grid and a diesel generator led to:

• ₦45,000 monthly on electricity – Inconsistent supply with frequent blackouts.
• ₦67,000 weekly (₦268,000+ monthly) on diesel – High fuel costs and constant generator noise.
• Regular generator maintenance costs – Frequent repairs, servicing, and oiling.

To make matters worse, Mrs. I runs a tailoring business from home, requiring a stable electricity supply for her sewing machines and daily operations. The generator’s noise, fuel expenses, and maintenance issues made work difficult and unsustainable. Determined to find a lasting solution, Mr. I reached out to Exergie through a referral.

Needs Assessment

Exergie conducted a detailed assessment of Mr. & Mrs. I’s energy needs and identified critical shortcomings in their previous setup. The evaluation revealed severe safety risks, inefficiencies, and unreliable components that failed to meet their household and business power demands. conducted an in-depth evaluation and uncovered serious issues with their previous solar system:

• Fire hazards – Poor wiring throughout the home.
• No surge protection – Appliances were at risk of damage.
• Low-quality components – Weak inverter and substandard batteries.
• Failed solar array – Barely producing any power.

Their home required a complete overhaul to support:

• Home Business – Electric sewing machines & essential tailoring tools.
• Refrigeration – Deep freezer & upright fridge.
• Lighting – 24 bulbs across the home.
• Entertainment & Work – 3 TVs, DSTV, laptops.
• Kitchen Appliances – Blenders, toasters, fruit mixer, air fryer.
• Essential Systems – 6 bathroom air-extractors, water pumps (including swimming pool inlet pump).

Design Assessment

To provide a safe and uninterrupted power solution, Exergie designed and installed a high-performance 3.5kVA solar system with:

• 18 solar direct-harvest panels (450W each) – Efficient, all-day power generation.
• 3.5kVA German transformer inverter system – Stable & long-lasting power supply.
• 4 AGM batteries (12V/200Ah each) – Reliable storage for nighttime use.
• Surge protection & circuit breakers – Ensuring home & appliance safety.
• Proper cabling & system security – Eliminating previous risks.

With this system, Mr. & Mrs. I gained full energy independence, powering their home, business, and daily needs without reliance on the grid or generator.

Outcome

For the first time in years, Mr. & Mrs. I are living without power anxiety. Their home and business run smoothly, quietly, and without interruptions.

The financial benefits were immediate and significant:

• ₦313,000+ saved every month – No more diesel or electricity bills.
• Seamless 24/7 power – No breakdowns, no disruptions.
• A business that runs smoothly – No more generator stress.
