Stablize power supplies; reduce costs

A Lagos-based commercial paint manufacturer struggled with unstable power supply. Its diesel generators which had reached end-of-life were unreliable and costly. The customer spent significant money to repair the generator, but electricity output did not increase. The generator also had high power costs due to higher than expected diesel consumption.

The erratic power supply negatively affected the customer’s daily operations, ability to meet production targets, and overall employee productivity.

A newly appointed executive team aimed to increase paint production, doubling the capacity of the plant and reduce operating costs. To achieve these goals, they looked to replace their inefficient power system with a solar hybrid solution. They were interested in an off-balance sheet solution.
