Electricity supply and solar power in Port Harcourt
Most Port Harcourt streets get a few hours of PHED supply a day, often at night when nobody needs it most. The gap is filled by petrol and diesel generators, which is part of why the city has a soot problem. A home running a generator most of the day can easily spend ₦80,000 to ₦150,000 a month on fuel. Our biggest customer groups here are families in GRA, Woji and Peter Odili Road who want the generator off for good, and small businesses (salons, pharmacies, cold stores, POS shops) that lose money every time light goes.
What we plan for in Port Harcourt
A large share of homes in Port Harcourt are upstairs buildings and duplexes. On a storey building we plan the cable route from roof to inverter room before we arrive, use proper roof ladders and harnesses, and fix the panels to rafters rather than to the roof sheet alone, because the wind during rainy-season storms is strong. In flats where the roof is shared, we confirm access with the landlord first.

Solar installation FAQs: Port Harcourt
How fast can you install solar in Port Harcourt?
We usually visit for the free site assessment within two to three days of your first message, and most homes are installed in one to two days once the quote is accepted and paid.
Will the soot in Port Harcourt affect my solar panels?
Soot settles on panels and can cut output by 5 to 15 percent if it is left for months. Rinsing them with clean water every four to six weeks during the dry season keeps output up. We show every customer how to do it safely, or we do it as part of maintenance.
How much does solar installation cost in Port Harcourt?
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 Port Harcourt is shown on your quote before you pay.
