What we do
Six disciplines.
One reliable power system.
From measuring whether a building wastes energy to proving a solar farm will pay back in under 13 years — SolDC brings the same rigorous, data-first discipline to every engagement.
Battery storage
Lithium-ion storage that shifts solar output to the evening peak, firms supply and keeps critical loads running.
Inverters & power electronics
Conversion, monitoring and protection systems sized for performance and serviceability over a 25-year life.
Grid integration
Interconnection studies, export metering and compliance — turning generated energy into delivered, billable power.
Solar PV feasibility studies
Site-specific RETScreen analysis covering solar resource, production forecasting, financial modelling, payback period and Monte Carlo risk — giving clients a bankable business case before a single panel is ordered.
Building performance analysis
Energy audits and performance benchmarking for existing buildings — measuring actual consumption against baselines, identifying efficiency gaps and quantifying the savings available from retrofits or on-site generation.
Our work
RETScreen-validated projects
across Nigeria.
Every project below started as a feasibility study — site climate data, regression-validated production models, Monte Carlo risk analysis — and was delivered as a bankable, traceable business case. Solar is viable in Nigeria, and we have the numbers to prove it.

Why it matters
Clean power, measured honestly.
3,955 tCO₂e
avoided every year across our two featured projects — 3,357 tCO₂e from Anambra and 598 tCO₂e from Cross River — displacing grid emissions with zero-carbon solar generation.
That's the equivalent of taking 724 cars and light trucks off the road, every single year.
Data before promises. Every project starts with measured climate data, regression-validated production models (R² = 0.84) and Monte Carlo risk analysis — not optimistic brochures.
Performance tracked, not assumed. Our Cross River plant has logged five consecutive years of production data, tracking within 1% of its reference baseline in 2025.
Built for the long term. Systems are engineered and financially modelled across a full 20–25 year horizon — with cumulative cash flows that turn positive by year 14 and reach $951k by year 20.
Leadership
Engineering-led from the top.
Etim Asuquo
Chief Executive Officer
Etim leads SolDC Energy's strategy, project development and analysis practice, personally directing RETScreen Expert feasibility studies — including the Anambra 1,000 kW and Cross River 1,000 kW Solar PV assessments.
Okey Chiezey
Chief Technical Officer
Okey oversees SolDC Energy's engineering practice — from system design and power electronics specification to grid integration, commissioning and long-term performance monitoring across all project sites.
Nwachukwu Obinna
Chief Engineering Officer
Nwachukwu is an experienced software engineer who leads SolDC Energy's technology and digital infrastructure practice — building the data systems, monitoring platforms and automation tools that underpin the company's project delivery and performance tracking capabilities.
Mayo Fadelu
Chief Operating Officer
Mayo brings over 10 years of hands-on experience in the Nigerian power sector, with deep expertise in project coordination across generation, transmission and distribution. She oversees SolDC Energy's day-to-day operations, ensuring that every project is delivered on schedule, within scope and to the highest standard.
SolDC Energy Ltd exists to close Nigeria's power gap with systems that actually deliver. Too many energy projects are announced and never measured. Our approach is different: every proposal is grounded in site-specific climate data, validated production forecasting and transparent financial modelling.
From federal-constituency power projects in Anambra State to commercial solar-plus-storage installations, we bring the same discipline — quantify the resource, engineer the system, track the performance.
When we say a plant will generate 6,507 MWh a year, that figure comes from analysis you can audit.
