Why Businesses in Nigeria Are Switching to Solar Power

Introduction

Across Nigeria, businesses are facing the same challenges:

❌ Unstable power supply
❌ Rising diesel and petrol prices
❌ Increasing PHCN tariffs
❌ Generator breakdowns
❌ High operating costs

To stay profitable, Nigerian businesses are choosing a smarter, more reliable, and cost-effective solution — solar power.

Today, solar is no longer a backup system. It is now the main power source for many companies.
In this guide, Solarzone Nigeria explains why businesses of all sizes are switching to solar.

1️⃣ Rising Fuel Costs Are Killing Business Profits

Diesel and petrol prices have become unpredictable and expensive.

Average monthly fuel spending:

  • Restaurants: ₦80,000 – ₦350,000

  • Supermarkets: ₦150,000 – ₦500,000

  • Factories: ₦300,000 – ₦3,000,000

  • Offices/Companies: ₦50,000 – ₦250,000

Fuel price increases mean reduced profit.
Solar eliminates 70–100% of fuel usage, depending on the system size.

Solar = permanent solution to fuel cost.
