We Design Sustainable Solar Mini-Grids That Get Approved, Funded, and Delivered.

Solar mini-grid engineering design (50kW–1MW+), C&I solar (200kW–2MW), solar home system design, feasibility studies and energy audits, Environmental & Social Impact Assessments (ESIA), and Owner's Engineer services — across Africa.

Feasibility studies: 4–6 weeks. Full engineering design packages: 8–12 weeks. ESIAs: 6–10 weeks. Owner's Engineer is ongoing through construction and commissioning. Every proposal includes a fixed timeline with clearly defined milestones.

As your Owner's Engineer, we act as your independent technical representative throughout construction and commissioning. We verify that equipment matches procurement specifications, installation quality meets design intent, and that the EPC contractor delivers the performance guarantees they committed to. We work for you — not the contractor.

Yes. Our deliverables are structured from the outset to comply with IFC Performance Standards and satisfy the technical due diligence requirements of the World Bank, AfDB, USAID, GIZ, and other DFIs. We build documentation that passes lender review without requiring major revisions — so your financial close stays on schedule.

We are headquartered in Abuja, FCT, and conduct projects across Africa. For engagements outside Abuja, we mobilise our own team or engage vetted local partners under our quality assurance framework. We also take on projects further across the continent for the right engagements.

We work on fixed-scope, fixed-fee proposals — no hourly billing surprises. A 30–40% advance payment mobilises the team; the balance is due on final delivery. Our fees are typically 20–30% below equivalent international consulting rates for the same standard of deliverable.

Three reasons: specialisation, local knowledge, and cost. International firms are generalists who bring in solar expertise from abroad. We are a specialist solar firm with deep familiarity with NERC, REA, and Nigeria's project environment — and we price for this market, not London or Washington. You get equivalent technical rigour at 20–30% lower cost, with senior consultants on your project from day one.
