Commercial Solar Storage Solution in Nigeria: 30kW PV + 60kWh Battery System for Abuja Supermarket

In Nigeria, frequent power outages and rising diesel prices create significant energy cost pressure for commercial users. To ensure stable operations and reduce long-term expenses, a small supermarket in Abuja deployed a 30kW solar PV system paired with a 60kWh energy storage battery. This efficient and reliable solar storage solution not only provides uninterrupted power but also significantly reduces operating costs and delivers strong return on investment.

Location:  Abuja, Nigeria
PV Installed Capacity: 40 kW
Energy Storage Configuration: 60 kWh LiFePO₄ Battery Pack
Inverter Capacity: 20 kW Hybrid Inverter

Key Equipment Overview of This Storage Solution

This off-grid solar system is equipped with the GODE LF51628-11 lithium battery and two STM 10kW hybrid inverters, delivering high efficiency, scalability, and long-term reliability for commercial solar applications.

GODE LF51628-11 Lithium Battery

• LiFePO4 battery chemistry
• Cycle life ≥ 6,000 cycles
• Round-trip efficiency ≥ 98%
• Remote diagnostics and firmware upgrades
• 5-year warranty

STM 10kW Hybrid Inverter

• Dual MPPT tracking
• Supports up to 500V DC PV input
• Maximum solar charging current: 160A
• Conversion efficiency > 97%

Both the inverter and the battery support parallel expansion, allowing the system to scale with future supermarket growth. With high efficiency and excellent stability, this configuration is an ideal energy solution for users in Nigeria.

Customer Benefits

1. Significant Diesel Cost Savings

By replacing diesel generators, the supermarket reduces operating expenses by 40–60%, especially valuable as fuel prices continue to rise in Nigeria.

2. 24/7 Reliable Power for Cooling and Operations

During the day, the 40kW solar array powers the store; at night, the 60kWh battery system provides backup energy.

Fast switching during grid outages ensures refrigeration, air conditioning, and essential equipment remain continuously operational—preventing revenue loss and food spoilage.

3. High ROI and Fast Payback Period

Thanks to Nigeria’s strong solar irradiance, the system pays for itself in 3–4 years, delivering an annual ROI of over 25%.

This project demonstrates the advantages of GODE’s solar storage solution in Nigeria’s commercial sector. By integrating advanced LiFePO4 energy storage with high-efficiency PV modules, the system delivers reliable power, substantial cost reduction, energy independence, and long-term low-maintenance returns.
