Solar power for business · Energy-as-a-Service

Commercial solar and battery power that replaces your diesel generator — with no equipment to buy.

We design, install, own and maintain a solar + battery system sized to your real load. You pay one fixed monthly fee, 20–30% below what diesel and grid cost you today.

Who it's for

Built for sites that run heavy loads all day.

Agri-processors and mills

Oil presses, cashew and grain processing, feed and flour mills — heavy three-phase motor loads through the working day.

Factories and packhouses

Production lines, compressors and packing halls that currently run a generator most of the day.

Mining camps and remote operations

Off-grid facilities far from reliable supply where diesel logistics are the biggest cost of all.

Hotels and hospitality

Guest comfort that cannot depend on 4–6 hours of grid a day — quiet, clean, always-on power.

Hospitals and pharma warehouses

Power that cannot fail, with battery backup that bridges every outage.

Telecom and data sites

Predictable power costs and remote monitoring for unattended infrastructure.

What we deploy

A complete power plant at your site — designed around your load.

Solar PV250 kW to 1.5 MW, rooftop or ground-mount. Sized after a metered energy audit, not a guess.
Battery storage100–500 kWh long-life LFP batteries (15,000-cycle graphene LFP available). Overnight supply, peak shaving and instant backup.
InvertersThree-phase hybrid inverters, 400 V / 230 V, 50 Hz. High-surge rated for motor starts.
Motor protectionVFD / soft starters on large motors — cuts start-up surge 3–6× and protects the battery.
BackupGrid where available. Gas generator as last-resort backup at off-grid sites — never diesel.
MonitoringIoT sensors on output, uptime and battery health. Remote diagnostics and predictive maintenance.
Contract5–10 year Energy-as-a-Service agreement. Fixed monthly fee. FBE owns, insures and maintains the system.

Smaller sites (30–100 kWp) can also be supplied as a direct purchase, designed and commissioned by FBE — see the Reblong Oil Presses project.

How it works

From audit to operation.

Energy audit

We meter your load, check your roof or land, and review your diesel and grid bills.

Design & proposal

A system sized to your operations, with your monthly fee and savings in writing.

Installation

Our local partner team installs and commissions. Typically 10–14 weeks from order.

Operation

One monthly fee. We monitor 24/7 and handle every repair.

Savings

20–30% lower energy cost from month one — and no more diesel deliveries.

FAQ

Common questions about solar power for business.

Do I have to buy the equipment?

No. Under Energy-as-a-Service Frontières Bay owns the solar panels, batteries and inverters. You pay a fixed monthly fee for the power. Smaller systems can be bought outright if you prefer.

How much will I save?

Our fee is set 20–30% below your current diesel plus grid spend, so you save from the first month. A typical C&I customer saves US$30,000–60,000 a year.

What happens at night or on cloudy days?

The battery carries the overnight load. Where grid exists it tops up the system; at fully off-grid sites a gas generator is fitted as a last-resort backup. We never install diesel.

How long does installation take?

Typically 10–14 weeks from signed order to an operating system, including shipping to Lagos or Nouakchott.

Which countries do you install in?

Live sites in Nigeria, Mauritania and Sierra Leone, with local installation partners in Lagos and Nouakchott. We take enquiries from across Africa, South America and the Caribbean.
