Abeokuta sits slightly below the national average for sun hours, but 4.7h of daily peak irradiance is still three times better than London (1.5h) or Germany (2h). Your panels will perform well year-round — sizing to 4.7h ensures your batteries fully charge even on average days.
With diesel at ₦1,045/litre in Ogun, running a 2.5kVA generator for 6 hours daily costs approximately ₦228,855/month — that's ₦2,746,260/year in fuel alone, before oil changes, servicing, and engine rebuilds every 4–5 years.
A properly installed 3kVA solar system in Abeokuta typically costs ₦2,000,000–₦3,000,000 all-in. At current Ogun fuel prices, that investment pays back in approximately 11 months — then you have 20+ years of near-free electricity, no noise, no fumes, and no rising fuel bills.
