Our Story

We’re building trust into solar in Nigeria.

Nigeria has 90 million people without reliable electricity. We’re not solving that alone. But we’re making sure that every Nigerian who goes solar doesn’t get burned by a bad installer.

The problem we solve

The Nigerian solar market is full of demand. It’s full of supply. But it’s broken by a trust deficit that costs homeowners millions of naira every year.

😤

Before SolarBuilders.ng

  • WhatsApp vendors disappear after payment
  • Substandard panels with inflated specs
  • No way to verify a contractor's track record
  • Installations fail within 6 months
  • No recourse when things go wrong

With SolarBuilders.ng

  • Every builder vetted by our team personally
  • Customer references called — not just checked
  • Real portfolios, real installations, real people
  • Badge revoked if quality drops
  • Free calculator, no commission, no middlemen

How verification works

Three steps. No shortcuts.

01

Apply

Installers submit business details, experience history, equipment brands used, and at least 3 verifiable customer references. We review everything before scheduling a call.

02

Background Check

Our team calls the applicant and their references. We ask about recent installations, how they handle issues, equipment sourcing, and whether they carry genuine products.

03

Live on Platform

Approved builders get the Verified badge. But it's not permanent — we monitor reviews. Builders who accumulate complaints lose the badge. Strictness is the product.

Numbers that matter

We keep these numbers low on purpose. That’s the point.

because standards matter

“23 companies audited. 8 verified. That’s on purpose.” The strictness IS the product. A badge that’s easy to get isn’t worth having.
