What is Lumogrid?
Lumogrid is an end-to-end solar platform that helps homes and businesses access clean, reliable power through affordable installations, expert maintenance, transparent education, and smart financing.
How is Lumogrid different from other solar companies?
Unlike typical installers, Lumogrid provides a full ecosystem—assessment, design, installation, maintenance, customer education, and long-term support. You don't just buy solar; you get a partner.
Where does Lumogrid operate?
We currently serve customers across Nigeria with a growing network of certified installation and maintenance partners nationwide.

Installation

How do I know the right solar system for my home or business?
You can complete a quick assessment on the Lumogrid platform. Our system analyzes your appliances, usage patterns, and budget to recommend the ideal solar kit.
How long does installation take?
Most installations are completed within a week after confirmation of payment or approval of financing. This may however differ by location. Our support agents will always confirm your specific installation dates prior.
Do I need to be present during installation?
Only for access permissions. Our certified technicians handle everything end-to-end.
Will my roof type affect installation?
No. Our installers are trained to work on concrete roofs, aluminium sheets, stone-coated roofing, flat roofs, bungalows and duplexes.
Can solar power my entire house?
Yes. With the right system size, solar can run freezers, ACs, pumps, TVs, WiFi, lights, small appliances, and business equipment.
What if my energy needs increase later?
All Lumogrid systems are expandable. You can add more batteries or panels anytime.

Payments & Financing

What payment options are available?
Lumogrid offers direct full payment, flexible instalment plans, third-party financing partners, and pay-as-you-go options for select systems.
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes. Monthly installment plans are available depending on the system and credit approval.
What happens after I complete payment?
You receive confirmation, installation date, and system documentation & warranty details.
Do businesses get financing support?
Yes. We provide SME-friendly financing with options tailored to small businesses, shops, offices, and online workspaces.

System Performance

Can solar work during cloudy days or rainy seasons?
Yes. The right solar panels still produce energy in cloudy conditions, and your batteries supply stored energy at night or during low sunlight periods.
What happens at night?
Your home runs on stored battery power. With the right system, you can enjoy 24/7 electricity.
Will solar reduce my PHCN (NEPA) bill?
Yes. Many customers see a 60–90% reduction depending on their system size.
Can I use solar and grid power together?
Absolutely. Lumogrid systems are hybrid-ready.
Can my system run multiple AC units?
Yes, with the appropriate inverter and battery capacity. Our engineers will recommend the right configuration.

Batteries & Panels

What type of batteries do you use?
We use high-performance Lead-Acid and Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries. Lithium-ion batteries last 10-15 years with high efficiency (up to 99%) and require low maintenance. Lead-acid batteries have lower upfront costs and proven reliability with high recyclability.
What is the lifespan of solar panels?
Panels last 25 years or more and maintain up to 80–90% efficiency over time.
Do the panels get hot or attract heat into the home?
No. In fact, they provide light shade to the roof.

Maintenance

Does Lumogrid offer maintenance?
Yes. We provide scheduled checkups, on-demand repairs, and system optimization.
How often is maintenance required?
Basic maintenance is recommended twice a year.
What if something goes wrong after installation?
You get access to Lumogrid Support for troubleshooting, replacement, or repairs depending on your warranty level.
Do you repair systems installed by other providers?
Yes. Lumogrid offers maintenance services even for non-Lumogrid users.

Can Lumogrid design solar for SMEs?
Yes. We support retail stores, warehouses, tech hubs, hospitals, schools, cold rooms, and hospitality businesses.
Will solar reduce my operating cost?
Yes. Many SMEs cut generator and fuel expenses by up to 75%.
Can my business scale the system later?
Lumogrid offers modular, expandable solar systems perfect for growing businesses.
