Is there no structural drawings?
If there is, then follow it to the letter.

No sir. Only the architectural drawings. The land is a flat surface and dry in shimawa area.

I came upon this post and it makes me kinda sad. Whoever posted this has obviously been duped by quarks and he is now projecting his experience everywhere. Before I proceed let it be known that I am not an installer neither do I do solar installation commercially.. I don't take jobs so I am not here for business. I am here just to share my experience on the viability of solar as an alternative and how economical it is.

Who am I, and what are my creds. I am an off-grid solar enthusiast and someone who have been using solar since 2016.. I have been completely off the nigerian grid since 2018 and I continue to live off-grid today. I setup my own system DIY and I also contribute a lot in of advocacy education and enlightenment on how we can improve the general standard and quality of installation and solar equipment available in Nigeria.

I run a Telegram group called "DIY Solar Nigeria" which has grown to over 6000 . The group is focused on sharing experience and peer to peer for Nigerians into solar or about to get into solar. We educate ourselves on best practices, resolve issues, share information on authorized dealers on solar product etc.

Like I said currently power my house completely on solar. I have a 10kW solar array, 10kva inverter and a 28kWh Lithium battery.

This system powers everything in the house. including 2 AC (1 can run for 12 hours and the other can run 24 hours) I also have vaccum, air fryer, 250 liter freezer 220 liter fridge (both of which are always run), I have a 1.5hp water pump, microwave and a home computer lab with over 15 mostly low power computers including a home automation cctv and media system + 2 65 inch TV and a host of other home appliances.

I have been growing my system little by little since 2016.. you can check my post history.

So yes, with the current state of things as at 2025, you can have a solar setup that would power all your house needs at least have 1 or 2 ACs especially if their are inverter ACs,

The biggest challenge is finding a competent installer who would do a competent system for you.

The hardest part of solar is design (it is not different from construction in that regards) once you start with a good design to match usage.. then you are off to a good start.

Here are some solar schematics I have worked on which you can use as reference for your own setup

Oga solar
Although I call it Oga solar, this is actually a slightly above mid sized system which should power 1 inverter AC run at least 12 hours a day especially when used with grid. It would be a very good generator replacement. I have indicated the average power that can be put on such a system in a daily basis. https://solarplan-l.openculture.org.ng/?ref=blog.openculture.org.ng

hansolo design is a more scaled down version oga solar and it is ideal for small house hold say 2 bed room apartment but can power 1 inverter AC over night https://solarplan-m.openculture.org.ng/?ref=blog.openculture.org.ng

here is a video were I installed a solar setup from scratch using the hansolo design.

Again I did not come here to promote any business and I don't take jobs. I came to share my own experience on solar and dispel FUDs about solar.

There is something with not knowing something and being open to LEARN or atleast update the little experience ..

I do enjoy reading your DIY projects....same on twitter...sharing knowledge for free.... you are awesome 👌 and Thank you...

Yes, Twinkenny is worth marketing. I have no obligation to post my stuff here due to my privacy, if you really knew who I was on this platform in the last 15 years. You can see for yourself, he does at least one new solar installation a week and everything is being posted here. If you're his competitor you have the liberty to post your new installation here as well on a weekly bases.

Thank you sir! We presently doing the lords work in Porthacourt!

Thanks for sharing. I love this guy work, he invest in tools that most Naija technician wont buy to make their job easier. Its annoying seeing many of these guys struggling with outdated tools, spending hours in a job that ordinarily should take them minutes. The funny thing about them, even after making money that should be invest in tools for the next job, they will rather invest it in a bank that wont appreciate their investment if you know what I mean

Good day, all. I have a 2 and 1-bedroom flat bungalow I'm building, and I've not been around for a while to monitor things. When I returned, I noticed the roofing I sent money for wasn't tallying with what was on site and the amount I was quoted.

Please, is there any roofing expert here who can help me with an audit of the roofing work done so I'll know if there's foul play and the proper steps to take regarding this issue?

Consider your appliances: Factor in the energy demands of essential appliances like refrigerators, fans, lights, and any other devices you want to power with solar.

2. Types:

Monocrystalline: Most efficient, highest output per square foot, but generally more expensive.
Polycrystalline: Slightly less efficient than monocrystalline, but more affordable and widely available.
Thin-Film: Flexible, lightweight, and can be installed on unconventional surfaces, but generally less efficient.

3. Key Considerations:

Efficiency: Higher efficiency means more power output from the same size.
Warranty: Look for reputable brands with comprehensive warranties (typically 25 years for s, 10 years for inverters).
Durability: Consider the 's resistance to heat, humidity, and other environmental factors.
Installation: Choose a reputable installer with experience in deg and installing solar systems in Nigeria.

4. Budget:

Determine your budget: Solar systems can vary significantly in cost.
Explore financing options: Consider solar loans, lease agreements, or government incentives to make the investment more affordable.

6. Safety First:

Choose a certified installer: Ensure your installer is certified and insured to ensure a safe and professional installation.
Follow safety guidelines: Always adhere to safety precautions when working with electricity.

7. Maintenance:
Regular cleaning: Keep your s clean to maximize energy production.
Regular inspections: Schedule regular inspections to ensure your system is operating efficiently.

Agree 💯 ...Right tools enhances efficiency......I always talk about the 3Es .

Effectiveness is doing "the right" things, for example setting right targets to achieve an overall goal (the effect).

Efficacy is getting things done. It is the ability to produce a desired amount of the desired effect, or success in achieving a given goal.

Efficiency is doing things in the most economical way. It is the ratio of the output to the inputs of any system (good input to output ratio).
