Offices in Trans-Amadi, Woji, GRA, Peter Odili Road and Rumuola lose work every time power drops. Computers restart. Internet goes. Staff wait for the generator. Solar stops that.
Why offices suit solar
Most offices work from about 8am to 5pm. That is exactly when panels produce. The battery covers early evenings and cloudy hours.
What an office runs
| Load | Example (10 staff) |
|---|---|
| Laptops / desktops | 10 × 60–150W |
| Monitors | 10 × 25W |
| Server / NAS / router | 100–300W |
| Printers | Bursts of 800–1,500W |
| Lights and fans | 300–600W |
| Inverter ACs | 2 × 0.8–1.5kW |
Suggested systems
| Office | System |
|---|---|
| 3–5 staff, no AC | 5kVA, 5kWh lithium |
| 10 staff, 2 ACs | 10kVA, 10kWh+ lithium |
| Large office | Custom, often three-phase |
No-break power for servers
Set the inverter so it powers critical loads all the time. Then there is no gap when PHED goes off.
Payback
Offices burning diesel all day often recover the cost in 1 to 2 years. Read solar ROI for businesses.
