What size inverter do I need for my house in Nigeria?

It depends on your continuous load and the surge from motor loads like air conditioners, fridges and pumps. The tool adds up both from your appliance list and sizes the inverter in kVA with headroom for starting current.

How many batteries do I need for the evening?

We work out your evening and night kWh, apply depth of discharge, and give the battery bank in kWh and in Ah at 48V so an installer can match it to real batteries.

Does it work with PHCN grid hours?

Yes. We start from the average daily grid hours for your state, and the report shows how much of the load solar covers and when the grid can top the battery up.

Is the load assessment tool free?

Yes, it is free and needs no login. Every sizing is reviewed by a Paramount Power Solutions engineer before a quote is issued.

How it works

Two short steps. One useful estimate.

01
List your appliances
Fridges, ACs, freezers, POS, lights — with quantities and hours. Snap a rating label and we read the real watts off it.
02
Get your sized system
Inverter kVA, battery kWh, panel kWp, generator hours saved — with the working shown.

What you'll get

A sized system, based on your real load.

Example: a 3-bedroom Lagos home with ~6 hrs of grid per day. Yours will be sized to your appliances.

This home runs a fridge, 3 fans, lights, a TV and phone charging — about 8.4 kWh a day. Panels handle the daytime load. The 5 kWh battery carries the evening on its own. With ~6 hours of NEPA, the grid tops the battery back up overnight when it's on. The generator that used to run ~4.5 hours a day drops to about ~30 minutes — only on the worst grid days.

Stagger

"Don't run your AC and pumping machine together → PowerPod 3 fits, saves ₦500k"

Cold-soak

"Pre-chill your chest freezer + bar fridge in the day, off at night → smaller battery works"

Behavioural only — never asking you to swap an appliance you own.

Illustrative only. Your real result is sized to the appliances and usage hours you enter — and is reviewed by a PowerPod engineer before quoting. Final panel layout depends on roof space and MPPT string design.
