Introduction

The rising cost of electricity in Nigeria has made many homes and businesses look for cheaper and more reliable alternatives. NEPA (PHCN) bills keep increasing, and running a generator has become extremely expensive due to fuel prices and maintenance costs.

The good news?
Solar energy can reduce your NEPA bill by up to 70% — permanently.

In this guide, Solarzone Nigeria explains how solar power helps you save money every month, how much you can realistically save, and why solar is the smartest financial decision for Nigerian homes.

⭐ 1️⃣ Why NEPA Bills Are High in Nigeria

Most Nigerian homes use a large number of appliances, such as:

• Freezer & fridge

• Fans

• TVs

• Pumps

• Lighting

• Laptops

• Chargers

• Water heaters

These appliances increase your kWh usage, which results in higher monthly bills.

If you run on prepaid:
⚡ Your units finish FAST.

If you run on postpaid:
⚡ Your bill comes unusually high every month.

Solar solves this problem by taking MOST of these appliances off the PHCN grid.

⭐ 2️⃣ How Solar Energy Reduces Your NEPA Bill by 50–70%

Here’s how solar cuts down your electricity expenses:

✔ 1. Solar Takes Over Your Daytime Load

Most homes use the highest power during the day:

• Fans

• Freezer

• TV

• Lights

• Phone charging

• Pump (occasionally)

When your home runs on solar during the day, your meter stops running — meaning zero PHCN usage during sunlight hours.

✔ 2. Solar Batteries Provide Night Backup

At night, your batteries provide power for:

• Fans

• Lights

• TV

• Charging

This means NEPA is barely used.

✔ 3. Fewer Units Used = Lower Monthly Bills

When solar handles most of your daily load:

• Your units last longer

• Your meter drains slower

• Your bill reduces drastically

Homes using solar report between 40–70% reduction depending on system size.

✔ 4. Solar Removes the Need for Heavy-Duty Appliances from PHCN

Appliances like:

• Deep freezers

• Pumps

• AC units (energy-efficient)

consume a lot of units. If powered by solar, your PHCN usage drops significantly.

⭐ 3️⃣ Realistic Example: Monthly Savings After Solar Installation

Before Solar Installation (Average Nigerian Home):

• Monthly PHCN bill: ₦25,000 – ₦40,000

• Generator fuel: ₦20,000 – ₦35,000

• Total monthly energy cost: ₦45,000 – ₦75,000

After Solar Installation:

• PHCN bill: ₦10,000 – ₦15,000

• Fuel cost: ₦0

• Total monthly energy cost: ₦10,000 – ₦15,000

Monthly savings:

⭐ ₦35,000 – ₦60,000 saved every month

Yearly savings:

⭐ ₦400,000 – ₦720,000 saved per year

Solar does not only cut NEPA bills — it eliminates generator costs too.
