Solar Installation in Obio-Akpor
Obio-Akpor is where Port Harcourt keeps growing. New estates in Rumuodara, Eneka, Rukpokwu and Eliozu, student lodges around Choba and Alakahia, and busy streets in Rumuokoro all share the same problem: grid supply that cannot keep up. We install solar across the whole LGA.

Electricity supply and solar power in Obio-Akpor
Many of the newer estates were built faster than the distribution network, so some streets share overloaded transformers and others are not properly connected at all. Landlords running lodges near the University of Port Harcourt are a big group for us: one shared solar system with separate breakers per room ends the arguments over generator fuel money.
What we plan for in Obio-Akpor
Lots of buildings here are new storey buildings with good concrete and long-span aluminium roofs, which suit panels well. For lodges and multi-flat compounds we size one central system and split the output with breakers or individual meters, so each tenant's usage can be capped.

Can one solar system power a whole lodge or block of flats in Choba?
Yes. We install one central inverter and battery bank, then give each room or flat its own breaker so heavy users cannot drain the system for everyone. The size depends on the number of rooms and what tenants are allowed to run.
Do you cover new estates in Eneka, Rukpokwu and Igwuruta?
Yes. We cover all of Obio-Akpor and neighbouring Ikwerre LGA, including the newer estates off the airport road.

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.
