Solar Installation in Eleme
Eleme is home to the Port Harcourt refinery at Alesa, the petrochemical plant and Onne port, so it has more workshops, warehouses and staff housing than almost anywhere else in Rivers State. We install home and commercial solar from Akpajo to Onne.

Electricity supply and solar power in Eleme
Industrial neighbours do not guarantee good grid supply for homes. Most residential streets in Eleme still depend on generators, and businesses serving the port and the free zone cannot afford downtime. Commercial customers here care most about uninterrupted power for computers, CCTV, fridges and pumps.
What we plan for in Eleme
The air near the refinery and port carries more pollutants and salt, which speeds up corrosion. We use aluminium mounting rails with stainless fasteners, seal every cable entry, and recommend a panel rinse more often than in central Port Harcourt.

Solar installation FAQs: Eleme
Can you install commercial solar for a business near Onne port?
Yes. We do a load audit first, then design a hybrid system that keeps your critical equipment running and can still use grid power when it is available.
Does the industrial air in Eleme damage solar panels?
It does not damage good panels, but it can corrode cheap mounting hardware and leave a film on the glass. We use corrosion-resistant rails and fasteners and recommend more frequent cleaning.

A 3kVA starter system (5kWh lithium battery, four 600W panels) starts from about ₦2.8M installed, and a 6kVA family system (16kWh lithium, eight 600W panels) starts from about ₦4.9M. Bigger homes and businesses are quoted individually. Any transport cost to Eleme is shown on your quote before you pay.
