Industrial electricity challenges

Energy cost is now a production cost.

For manufacturers, power affects cost of goods, uptime, product quality and export competitiveness.

01

Diesel cost per unit produced

Long production shifts on diesel generation tie energy cost directly to fuel price volatility.

02

Fuel logistics and security

Deliveries, storage, pilferage risk and supply disruptions add operational burden.

03

Process interruptions

Outages and changeover gaps disrupt production lines, cold chains and control systems.

04

Generator wear

Continuous running accelerates overhaul cycles and increases failure risk.

05

Power quality

Voltage dips, imbalance and harmonics affect motors, drives and PLCs.

06

Export and ESG requirements

Buyers and group headquarters increasingly ask for measured emissions reduction.

How an industrial plant is built

From bare land to a commissioned power plant.

Industrial projects are delivered in phases alongside an operating factory, with method statements, HSE plans and supervised changeover at every stage.

  1. Factory site before solar installation, with existing generator plant

    Site clearing, set-out and foundations for mounting structures and the power house.

  3. Mounting structures being erected for an industrial solar array

    03 · Structures

    Galvanised mounting structures erected and aligned to the design tilt.

  4. Industrial solar plant under construction with modules being installed beside a factory

    04 · Modules

  5. Completed ground-mount solar array beside a manufacturing facility

    05 · Commissioned

    Hybrid plant integrated with storage and the existing generators.

Load profiling & energy audit

We measure before we design.

Industrial systems are sized from interval data across your shift pattern — not from nameplate ratings.

  • Power-quality and load logging on main incomers across production shifts
  • Diesel purchase records, generator hour meters and fuel-efficiency analysis
  • Motor starting currents, power factor and harmonic assessment
  • Critical, deferrable and shiftable process loads identified

Battery storage & hybrid control

Storage that works with your generators.

Diesel fuel-saver operation

Solar carries daytime load while the controller keeps generators at efficient loading — or off — reducing fuel burn and running hours.

Battery energy storage (BESS)

LiFePO₄ storage bridges shift changeovers and outages, absorbs surplus solar and reduces generator start-ups. Capacity and C-rate are chosen against your duty cycle.

Grid, generator and solar integration

Three-phase changeover, protection coordination and earthing designed to integrate safely with existing switchgear.

MBB Industrial

Custom-engineered systems.

Every industrial plant is quoted after an energy audit and feasibility study. Our Ota reference project shows a typical starting configuration.

Assumptions and method
  • Annual generator cost = (litres/hour × fuel price + maintenance/hour) × hours/day × days/month × 12.
  • Solar operating cost = remaining generator & grid spend × (1 − solar contribution) + O&M.
  • Annual savings = current annual spend − solar operating cost. Payback = system cost ÷ annual savings.
  • Five-year view applies the annual cost increase to fuel and grid spend, includes the system cost upfront, and includes battery replacement only if it falls within five years.
  • Excludes financing costs, generator resale value and changes in your usage.
Operations & maintenance

FAQs

Industrial questions.

Do I need a three-phase system?

Three-phase systems are typically required where the building has a three-phase supply and significant three-phase loads such as large motors, lifts or industrial equipment. Many homes and small businesses operate on single phase. An engineer confirms this during the site assessment.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes. Essential Care (₦75,000 per year) covers an annual inspection and cleaning; Premium Care (₦150,000 per year) adds a second visit, proactive monitoring and priority response; Commercial Care (from ₦350,000 per year) provides quarterly maintenance and performance reporting for commercial and industrial systems.
