For SMEs & Businesses
Power your business without the diesel bill.
For small and growing businesses, energy is not a line item — it is the difference between trading and standing still. Solfa Power replaces expensive, unreliable diesel with clean solar and storage, sized to your load and financed to protect your cash flow. Same power. Lower cost. No downtime.
The hidden tax on every SME
Cut the diesel cost and the downtime.
Nigeria spends an estimated ₦3.5 trillion on diesel every year — and small businesses carry a punishing share of it. Fuel prices swing without warning, generators demand constant servicing, and the noise and fumes wear on your team and your customers.
Worse than the cost is the interruption. When the grid drops and the tank runs dry, the shop goes quiet, the cold room warms up and the customer walks away. Solfa Power turns that recurring, unpredictable expense into clean, owned energy — engineered around how your business actually consumes power, so you pay for capacity you use, not a generator you dread.

Real savings, real ROI, real reliability.
Clean energy is not just greener — for most small businesses it is simply cheaper and more dependable than the grid plus a generator. The numbers are documented, not aspirational.
Saved for our clients to date — real, documented reductions in energy spend across every sector we power.
Spent on diesel nationwide each year — recurring money that never builds a single asset for your business.
Sectors powered, from retail and hospitality to healthcare and professional services — we know SME loads.
Lower operating costs
Once the sun is doing the work, your marginal cost of power drops sharply. No fuel runs, no diesel price shocks, far less servicing — and energy that keeps working long after a generator would have been retired. That saving flows straight to your bottom line.
Clear, measurable ROI
We model your payback before you commit. For most SME sites the system pays for itself in a few years, then delivers free daytime energy for decades — a genuine asset on your books, not a sunk cost you top up every week.
Reliability you can plan around
Solar plus battery storage keeps your critical loads running through grid failures and refuelling gaps. No downtime, no spoilage, no lost sales — and a quiet, clean workplace your team and customers will notice from the first day.
Flexible financing
Go solar without the upfront shock.
Cash flow is everything for a small business. That is why Solfa Power offers three ways to own your energy — so you can choose the model that fits your balance sheet, not the other way round. Explore each in detail on our financing page.
Model 01
Direct Purchase
Own your system outright from day one. The lowest lifetime cost of energy and immediate return on investment — ideal for businesses with capital ready to deploy and a long-term site.
- Lowest total cost over the system's life
- Immediate ROI and full ownership
- Best for stable, long-tenure premises
Model 02
Lease-to-Own
Spread the cost over a fixed term and own the system at the end. Preserve your working capital for stock, staff and growth while switching off the diesel bill from month one.
- Predictable monthly payments
- Preserve cash for operations and growth
- Full ownership at the end of the term
Model 03 · Most flexible
Energy-as-a-Service
No large upfront cost — pay only for the clean energy you use. Operations and maintenance are included, so uptime is our responsibility, not yours. The modern, low-risk way for an SME to go solar.
- Zero or minimal upfront investment
- Operations & maintenance included
- Convert capex into a simple energy charge
Productivity, not just power
Uptime that lets you say yes to more work.
Reliable energy changes how a small business operates. Longer trading hours, machines that never stop mid-job, cold chains that hold, and a team that isn't losing an afternoon to a dead generator.
- Trade every hour you're open — no interruptions, no waiting on fuel, no lost sales.
- Protect stock and equipment — steady, clean power ends spoilage and costly voltage damage.
- Quieter, healthier workplace — no fumes or generator roar for staff and customers.
- Predictable monthly cost — budget with confidence instead of chasing diesel prices.
- Grow with your load — systems designed to scale as your business does.
Who it's for
Built for the businesses that keep Nigeria trading.
