Renewable Energy Consultants – Your total power solutions, Authorized Service Center (ASC) to Schneider Electric Renewables (Xantrex) & for XZERES Wind Corp (XZERES) Oregon USA (www.xzeres.com).

Our engineers are trained to provide reliable after sales services.

The Nigerian electric grid is so erratic that there is almost always the need for the deployment of Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) to our grid-tie installations. Though there are cheaper AVRs available in the market, we insist on Japanese Stavol AVR. Experience in their reliability and ruggedness in handling the Nigerian local electrical ambience, has always justified our insistence. Also, to protect our installations from the multiple surge evident in Nigerian installations we include over-current protection in our installations. Our solar installations are done with solar cables with male and female terminators to avoid current leakage and the presence of water in cable junctions. MPPT charge controllers are used for large arrays to maximize harvest. Our hybrid inverter/chargers from Schneider Electric, Outback Power, and Victron Energy ensure safe automatic charging.
