Nigeria's Solar Industry by the Numbers: 1,430 Companies (2026)

July 16, 2026

Nigeria's Solar Industry by the Numbers: 1,430 Companies (2026)

SolarXList tracks 1,430 active solar, PV and energy-storage companies in Nigeria, led by Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt, with installers and EPC contractors forming the largest groups.

Nigeria is one of Africa's most active solar markets, driven by an unreliable central grid that pushes homes and businesses toward self-generation: rooftop and commercial-and-industrial (C&I) solar, solar-plus-storage to replace diesel gensets, mini-grids for off-grid communities, and a fast-growing solar home system segment. SolarXList tracks 1,430 active solar, PV and energy-storage companies in Nigeria, including 1,231 with a website.

Top cities

  • Lagos - 549 companies
  • Abuja - 138
  • Port Harcourt - 125
  • Ibadan - 50
  • Lekki - 33
  • Benin City - 26

What they do

Nigeria's directory includes 323 installers, 301 EPC contractors, 126 service providers, 57 utilities, 51 suppliers and 26 manufacturers. By sector, the largest groups are Energy (Other) (430), Solar Installation / EPC (238) and Energy Storage / Battery (111) — a profile that reflects a market centred on installation, project delivery and the storage needed to work around grid outages.
