Case Study: A Lagos Home's Journey to 24/7 Power

The Client: The Adekunle Family, Lekki, Lagos

The Adekunle family, living in a 4-bedroom duplex in Lekki, were fed up. Like many Lagos residents, they faced a frustrating daily reality: unpredictable grid power, the constant noise and fumes of their 15kVA generator, and a monthly diesel budget that was spiraling out of control.

"It was exhausting," says Mrs. Adekunle. "We couldn't rely on PHCN. The generator was a noisy nightmare, and we were spending over ₦150,000 a month on diesel alone. We wanted our peace back. We wanted 'Light Guaranteed'."

The Challenge: Powering a Modern Lifestyle

The family needed a solution that could handle their modern energy needs, which included:

• Two 1.5hp air conditioning units
• A deep freezer and a refrigerator
• Water pumps
• Lights, entertainment systems (TVs, sound systems), and charging for laptops and phones
• Uninterrupted power for Mr. Adekunle's home office

Their goal was simple: achieve 24/7 power and drastically reduce their reliance on both the grid and their generator.

The KRATOX Solution: A Custom Hybrid System

After a thorough energy audit and consultation, the KRATOX team designed and installed a robust hybrid solar solution:

• Inverter: A 10kW Pure Sine Wave hybrid inverter, powerful enough to handle the starting load of the AC units and run the entire house.
• Solar Panels: 18 high-efficiency 550W monocrystalline solar panels (a 9.9kWp array), strategically placed to maximize sun exposure.
• Batteries: A 20kWh bank of Lithium-ion (LiFePO4) batteries, providing enough storage to power the home through the night and during cloudy spells.
• Smart Integration: The system included a smart monitoring app, allowing the family to track their energy production and consumption in real-time.

The Result: Transformation and Peace of Mind

The impact was immediate and profound.

1. 24/7 Uninterrupted Power: The Adekunle family now enjoys seamless, automatic power. When the grid goes out, the switchover is so fast, they "don't even notice it." The generator has been silent for months, used only as a last-resort backup.

2. Massive Financial Savings: Their monthly diesel bill of over ₦150,000 dropped to zero. Their PHCN bill was reduced by over 85%, leaving only a small fixed charge. The family estimates the system will pay for itself in under 4 years.

3. A Quiet, Clean Home: "The peace is priceless," says Mr. Adekunle. "No more generator noise, no more fumes. Our home is finally a sanctuary. Waking up to silence instead of a rumbling engine is a luxury we'll never take for granted."

A Word from the Client

"Working with KRATOX was a fantastic experience," concludes Mrs. Adekunle. "They were professional, they understood our needs perfectly, and they delivered exactly what they promised: Light Guaranteed. It's one of the best investments we've ever made in our home and our quality of life."
