Unpredictable grid supply
Operations remain exposed to outages and voltage instability.
Commercial & industrial energy solutions
Turn your energy costs into a managed business asset.
Prime Digital Tek helps commercial and industrial organisations assess, design and integrate solar PV, battery storage, grid supply and generators around real operational requirements.
Designed for Nigerian operating conditions. Built around your actual load, costs and resilience priorities.
Power should support operations, not disrupt them.
For many Nigerian businesses, energy is no longer a routine utility expense. It is a combination of grid availability, tariff exposure, generator fuel, maintenance, production losses and operational risk. Installing solar equipment without understanding this complete picture can produce an undersized, oversized or poorly coordinated system.
High generator dependence
Fuel, servicing and generator replacement increase the true cost of electricity.
Production and service disruption
Even short interruptions can affect equipment, output, customers and revenue.
Rising energy expenditure
Electricity costs are often distributed across bills, fuel and maintenance budgets.
Underperforming solar assets
Existing systems may lack appropriate sizing, controls, storage or operational visibility.
Uncertain investment decisions
Businesses need evidence before choosing solar-only, battery storage or a complete hybrid system.
Energy architecture
One controller, coordinating every source.
Prime Energy Management sits between your generation, storage, grid supply and generators, and decides what runs your facility at any moment.
Actual operating logic depends on load profile, equipment specification, grid conditions, tariff structure and project objectives.
- 1. Solar PV array
Serves live facility demand first.
- 2. Battery energy storage
Charges from available solar, supports priority loads.
- 3. Utility grid
Supplements demand when available.
- 4. Diesel or gas generator
Controlled backup when required.
- 5. Facility load
Production, cooling, offices, critical circuits.
- 6. Eligible export (optional)
Assessed case by case under the applicable framework.
Not every facility needs the same energy solution.
Solar only
- Best suited to
- Facilities with strong, predictable daytime demand.
- Primary value
- Reduce daytime grid and generator consumption.
- Important consideration
- Limited outage support without storage or another backup source.
Solar + BESS
- Best suited to
- Facilities requiring cost reduction and continuity for priority operations.
- Primary value
- Store available energy and manage selected loads during interruptions or high cost periods.
- Important consideration
- Battery capacity and power rating must be based on operational priorities, not guesswork.
Intelligent hybrid system
- Best suited to
- Complex facilities combining grid, solar, battery storage and generators.
- Primary value
- Coordinate multiple energy sources around cost, reliability and operating requirements.
- Important consideration
- Requires careful engineering, controls integration and commissioning.
The correct solution is determined by your operating data, not by the largest equipment package available.
Illustrative data
Storage is sized against the gap, not the invoice.
Solar output and facility demand rarely align. Where they diverge is where storage, grid supply or the generator has to work, and that is what the assessment measures.

- Solar generation (dashed line)
Assessment methodology
Engineering decisions begin with evidence.
- 01
Energy cost baseline
Review electricity bills, tariff category, generator fuel, servicing and relevant maintenance costs.
- 02
Load profiling
Measure or analyse how power demand changes through the operating day, week and season.
- 03
Operational priority mapping
Identify critical, essential and deferrable loads, including required duration and restart behaviour.
- 04
Solar opportunity assessment
Evaluate roof or land area, irradiation, shading, structural or ground conditions and likely generation profile.
- 05
Battery use case definition
Determine whether storage is needed for backup, energy shifting, peak management or power quality support.
- 06
System scenario modelling
Compare solar only, solar plus storage and hybrid configurations on consistent technical and financial assumptions.
- 07
Grid and net billing readiness
Review metering, interconnection, protection, export control and applicable regulatory or DisCo requirements.
- 08
Delivery roadmap
Recommended configuration, indicative economics, principal risks and an implementation pathway.
We do not begin with equipment. We begin with the facility, the data and the business objective.
Preliminary check
Start your preliminary energy readiness check.
Five short steps. This is not a quotation tool. It gives our engineers enough to judge the opportunity and tell you what data we still need.
What you receive
- Consolidated energy cost baseline
- Facility load profile analysis
- Critical load and resilience assessment
- Solar PV opportunity assessment
- BESS use case and capacity analysis
- Comparison of appropriate system configurations
- Grid interconnection and net billing readiness review
- Indicative financial and operational assessment
- Principal technical and delivery risks
- Recommended implementation roadmap
The depth of analysis and site activities will be agreed according to facility size, data availability and project complexity. Detailed engineering design is a separate scope, confirmed after the preliminary assessment.
Net billing: an opportunity to assess, not a promise to assume.
Nigeria's evolving net billing framework may allow qualifying customers with approved renewable energy installations to receive value for eligible electricity exported through the distribution network. Practical eligibility depends on the applicable regulatory framework, distribution company, metering arrangement, interconnection approval, protection requirements and agreed commercial terms.
A sound C&I project should first be evaluated on self consumption, resilience and operational value. Potential export credit should be treated as an additional assessed benefit, not the sole basis of the investment case.
Regulatory and distribution company requirements may change. Prime Digital Tek will verify the requirements applicable to each proposed project. Information on this page does not constitute regulatory, legal or financial advice.

Request a structured assessment of your facility's energy costs, operating risks and appropriate solar, battery or hybrid power options.
No generic system sizing. No unsupported savings promises. Recommendations are based on available facility data and agreed engineering assumptions.
Sources and regulatory context
Net billing, metering and embedded generation requirements in Nigeria are set by the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission and applied by each distribution company. Requirements differ by DisCo and change over time, so we verify the rules applicable to each project during the assessment rather than publishing a single national position here.
- Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission, regulations and orders: nerc.gov.ng
- Your distribution company's embedded generation and interconnection requirements.
