Kano is MGM's home: the head office is at Bashir Tofa Small Scales, Sharada Industrial Estate. Kano sites range from family houses and shops to factories on the industrial estates, and the cost drivers differ sharply between them.
Homes and shops
For a house or shop the price is set mainly by battery capacity (how many hours of backup you need at night), inverter size, and array size. Harmattan dust matters too: panels need safe access for cleaning, which affects mounting design. Turnkey packages with dated Naira prices are listed below.
Factories and industrial sites
Industrial sites are quoted per site. Motors, compressors and shift patterns create starting currents and demand peaks that a catalogue system will not handle. The Energy Exposure Assessment measures them with a 7-day logger study before any design, and the plant is engineered to work with your existing generator.
Grid and tariffs
Kano sites are supplied by KEDCO. Published Band A–E tariffs are ex-VAT, so your delivered grid cost is the tariff plus 7.5% VAT — include it in any comparison.
