Lagos is Nigeria's biggest solar market — and also its most competitive. With high electricity costs, erratic NEPA supply, and expensive generator fuel, Lagosians are going solar faster than anywhere else in the country. We've verified the best installers across Lagos Island, Mainland, Lekki, Ikeja, and beyond, so you don't have to gamble.
Solar installation in Lagos ranges from ₦350,000 for a basic 2kVA system to ₦1,500,000+ for a full 10kVA home solution. A 3kVA system suitable for an average Lagos home (fridge, fans, lights — no AC) typically costs ₦480,000–₦650,000 installed.
Most residential solar installations in Lagos take 1–2 days. The actual mounting and wiring typically takes one day; testing and handover takes another half day. Complex commercial systems or large arrays may take 3–5 days.
Yes — very much so. The average Lagos generator user spends ₦35,000–₦60,000 per month on fuel. A solar system pays for itself in 10–14 months at those rates, after which electricity is essentially free for the next 10–15 years.
Reputable Lagos installers should offer at minimum: 1-2 year workmanship warranty, 5-year product warranty on inverters, 10-year product warranty on solar panels (with 25-year performance guarantee), and 1-year warranty on batteries.
