Most recently, the Nigerian government launched a plan to deploy 5 million solar connections via solar home system (SHS) and mini-grids by 2023. About 324,000 quality verified SAS units were sold in 2019, up from negligible sales five years earlier1, ranking Nigeria as the fifth largest market globally by sales volume.
Getting off-grid solutions to scale and commercial viability in Nigeria will unlock an enormous market opportunity in Sub-Saharan Africa across 350 million people in countries with smaller demand and/or less-robust economies.
There also remains a large market amongst grid-connected customers as only 25 per cent of them receive at least four hours of daily power. These off-grid and underserved markets exist all over Nigeria and across economic status.
The solar lantern category is extremely competitive, with 170 unique brands found in stock.
