Lagos Hotel Ditches Diesel: 125kW Solar + Battery System Now Live in Ikeja
Lagos just proved something big: reliable power doesn't have to come from a noisy generator. TranESS C&I has officially handed over a 125kW DYQUE energy solution to a hotel in GRA, Ikeja, and the message is clear. African businesses are taking control of their energy future, and they're doing it with solar, storage, and serious local expertise.
The handover ceremony brought together TranESS C&I, the hotel, and KizzyTech, the EPC partner that helped bring this project to life. This wasn't just a formality. It was a statement. A statement that Nigerian businesses can power their operations on their own terms, without bowing to the grid or burning through diesel cash.
What's inside this 125kW energy solution?
This isn't small-time. The system packs a punch with a 125kW inverter capacity, 241kWh of battery storage, and a 93kWp solar PV array made up of 150 units of 620W panels. That's enough to keep a hotel running smoothly, day and night, without depending on the generator as the primary power source.
Since installation, the system has been performing. The hotel now enjoys reliable electricity for its operations, and the generator has been pushed to the background where it belongs. This is what energy independence looks like in action.
Why this matters for Nigerian businesses
Let's be real. Power is one of the biggest headaches for businesses in this country. But this project shows there's a better way. Solar generation plus battery storage equals dependable electricity that doesn't vanish when the grid sneezes.
Mr Abiodun Wasiu, Business Development Manager at TranESS, put it plainly during the ceremony. He said the project represents a successful transition from an identified energy challenge to a fully deployed solution designed to support the hotel's power reliability, operational efficiency, and energy needs. He also gave credit where it's due, highlighting the collaborative effort between the hotel, TranESS C&I, KizzyTech, and the technical teams involved in design, deployment, installation, testing, and commissioning.
Five-year warranty and after-sales support that actually means something
Here's where TranESS C&I separates itself from the pack. The hotel and TranESS C&I signed a five-year warranty certificate covering the system. But it doesn't stop there. The hotel also gets access to after-sales service for the entire life of the inverter.
With an extensive after-sales support network across Nigeria, customers can get technical assistance whenever they need it. This isn't a sell-and-run situation. This is a long-term partnership, and that's exactly what African businesses deserve.
Strong partnerships drive the C&I energy sector forward
KizzyTech played a crucial role as the EPC partner, working shoulder to shoulder with TranESS C&I to take this project from installation to successful operation. This kind of collaboration is what's pushing Nigeria's Commercial and Industrial energy market forward.
TranESS C&I serves businesses across hospitality, agriculture, manufacturing, and other industries. Through its DYQUE and itel C&I Energy solutions, the company is focused on helping businesses meet their diverse energy requirements with systems built for reliability and efficiency.
What does this mean for the future of energy in Nigeria?
This project in Ikeja is more than just a successful handover. It's a practical demonstration of what's possible when you combine solar generation, battery storage, technical expertise, and real after-sales support. It's proof that Nigerian businesses don't have to beg for power. They can build it.
As TranESS C&I continues to expand its presence in Nigeria's C&I energy market, projects like this one will keep showing the way. The message is simple: reliable, efficient, and independent energy is not a dream. It's happening right now, right here in Lagos.
