Band A
At least 20 hours/dayPrioritize short outage coverage, power quality and reducing expensive grid consumption where solar economics support it.
- Planning outage window
- up to 4 h/day
- Suggested starting backup
- 4 hours
Nigeria power guide
Electricity bands change the backup problem.
Nigeria’s Service-Based Tariff framework groups feeders by minimum daily supply. Add your band to SFP Technologies so backup targets reflect how long you may need to operate without the grid.
🔌A → E20+ to 4+ grid hours/day
Band B
At least 16 hours/dayPlan a moderate battery window and keep high-load circuits managed during longer interruptions.
- Planning outage window
- up to 8 h/day
- Suggested starting backup
- 8 hours
Band C
At least 12 hours/dayBattery energy and daytime solar production both become major design drivers.
- Planning outage window
- up to 12 h/day
- Suggested starting backup
- 10 hours
Band D
At least 8 hours/dayUse strong essential-load separation and plan for long daily backup periods.
- Planning outage window
- up to 16 h/day
- Suggested starting backup
- 12 hours
Band E
At least 4 hours/dayTreat solar and storage as a primary daily energy system, with grid or generator as supplemental charging.
- Planning outage window
- up to 20 h/day
- Suggested starting backup
- 16 hours
How to use this responsibly
Your band is context—not a guaranteed daily schedule.
Check the band shown on your electricity bill or prepaid vending receipt. Supply performance can change and tariffs vary by distribution company and customer class, so SFP Technologies keeps both backup hours and actual spending editable.
