Also referred to as Rooftop Systems, Solar Home Systems (SHS) are small to mid-size systems using photovoltaic solar energy and battery storage to provide electricity where there is no access to the grid or unreliable supply from the grid.
Solar energy is harnessed through photovoltaic panels installed nearby the house or building and is connected to a battery bank. During usage or night hours, the battery bank supplies the electricity to specific appliances. Such systems are individually sized to suit the end-users’ needs and can be used for households, offices, or business entities that are scattered throughout different areas or entire villages.
Solar Home Systems (SHS) have various applications, such as in household applications to power lights and electrical appliances. They can also be used to power health stations located in villages, schools, small businesses, etc.
How it Works
A Solar Home System consists of the following components:
- Solar panels that deliver electricity from the sun
- A battery set that stores the electricity produced by the solar panel and can deliver it at any time of the day
- A charge controller that protects the battery from overcharging
A Solar Home System works all year round, without the need for any other power source. The battery bank is can have at least 5 days of autonomy, which means that even if there are five consecutive very cloudy days, the system is still able to work. We offer a variety of sizes from 20 W to 150 W and higher KW ranges.
During night hours, the battery bank supplies the electricity to specific appliances. Such systems are individually sized to suit the end-users’ needs and can be used for households, offices, or business entities that are scattered throughout different areas or entire villages.

Decentralized renewable energy solutions like mini-grids and smart grids are the least-cost option for bringing electricity to more than 70 percent of the world’s 1 billion people currently living without access to basic power, most of whom live in rural areas in Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. It is estimated that up to 200,000 mini-grids will be needed to lift these people out of energy poverty.
Fanech Technologies has in-house professionals and technical experience to develop Mini-Grids – an integrated local generation and distribution system with installed capacity below 1MW and Smart-Grids – mini-grids which include a variety of energy measures including smart meters, smart appliances, and energy-efficient resources – capable of serving numerous end‐users independent of the national grid.

Fanech Technologies, working with global partners can generate more than 1MW of reliable, clean electricity from renewable energy sources with a link to the main grid so that energy exchange is possible between them.
A utility-scale solar power plant can utilize several solar technologies – primary photovoltaics (PV) or concentrating solar power (CSP). What distinguishes utility-scale solar from distributed generation is both project size and the fact that the electricity is sold to wholesale utility buyers, not end-use consumers. Utility-scale solar plants provide the benefit of fixed-priced electricity during peak demand periods when electricity from fossil fuels is the most expensive.
Fanech Technologies utility-scale solar designs can also include energy storage capacity that provides power when the sun is not shining and increases grid reliability and resiliency.
Developing utility-scale solar power is one of the fastest ways to reduce carbon emissions and put Nigeria on a path to a clean energy future.
