TANFON 25KW Gas Station Solar System in Nigeria

① Location

In Nigeria

② Customer Type

For a newly built gas station

③ Problem

The customer was constructing a new gas station equipped with:

• 3 fuel pumps
• A restaurant with one air conditioner
• An office with one air conditioner
• 50 LED lighting fixtures

However, the local utility power supply was highly unstable, creating a risk of interrupted fuel sales, poor customer service, and higher operating costs.

The customer needed a reliable customized solar system capable of supplying stable electricity for all essential equipment while minimizing dependence on the unreliable grid.

④ Solution

After evaluating the total electrical load, daily energy consumption, and operating hours, Tanfon engineered a 25kW hybrid power station specifically for the customer's business.

The solution integrates:

• High-efficiency solar panels
• Hybrid inverter technology
• Lithium battery energy storage
• Intelligent energy management

The system prioritizes solar energy during the daytime while storing excess electricity in batteries for use during cloudy weather, nighttime operation, or utility power interruptions.

For customers located in areas without reliable grid access, the same design concept can also be configured as an off grid power station, providing complete energy independence.

⑤ Technical Specifications

Installed a 25kW customized solar system.

System Configuration

• 42 pcs half cell solar panel
• 4 set 51.2/314AH Lithium battery energy storage
• 25kw Hybrid inverter
• Intelligent Energy Management System (EMS)

The entire system was customized according to the customer's actual electricity demand, ensuring optimal performance and long-term reliability.

⑥ Results

After installation, the gas station obtained a reliable and efficient power supply that supports daily operations without interruption.

Project Benefits

• Stable electricity for fuel pumps and commercial equipment
• Reduced dependence on unstable utility power
• Lower long-term electricity and operating costs
• Improved business continuity and customer service
• Customized energy solution based on actual load requirements
• Flexible design that can be expanded as the business grows

This project demonstrates how a customized solar system can provide reliable power for gas stations and other commercial facilities in regions with unstable electricity infrastructure.

FAQ 

What is a customized solar system?

A customized solar system is designed according to your actual load, daily electricity consumption, and operating hours, ensuring optimal performance and investment value.

Why is a hybrid power station suitable for gas stations?

A hybrid power station combines solar energy, battery storage, and utility power, ensuring continuous operation even during power outages while reducing electricity costs.

Can this system work as an off grid power station?

Yes. For locations without utility grid access, the system can be configured as a complete off grid power station with sufficient battery storage and backup capacity.

How do I choose the right solar system size for my gas station?

The correct system size depends on the number of fuel pumps, lighting, air conditioners, office equipment, and daily operating hours. Tanfon provides free load analysis and customized system design.

Can the system support future expansion?

Yes. Our customized solar systems are designed with scalability in mind, making it easy to add more solar panels or battery storage as your business grows.

How long is the payback period?

The ROI depends on local electricity prices, diesel costs, and energy consumption. Many commercial solar projects achieve payback within 2–4 years.
