A typical 0.6kW solar system with 3.2kWh battery storage in Nigeria costs approximately
$639–$687
(equipment only, FOB China), generating an estimated 1,139 kWh/year
and saving around $42/year at $0.037/kWh electricity rates.
Estimated payback period: 15.2–16.4 years.
✓ Default usage (80 kWh) and rate ($0.037/kWh) are based on real data for Nigeria.

⚡ Why this number looks low: Only around 58% of Nigerian households have grid access, and connected households average under 7 hours of power per day (NBS 2024 Residential Energy Demand-Side Survey). This isn't low demand — it's suppressed demand.
For comparison, average household usage is
250 kWh/month in Kenya and 218 kWh/month in South Africa — both countries with more reliable grid access. Solar here isn't a lifestyle upgrade; for most buyers, it's the only way to get consistent power.
