About this course

Fuel prices have turned solar from a luxury into arithmetic, and every seller who can quote honestly is in demand. This course teaches the business side of solar — product literacy, customer needs auditing, quoting, sourcing genuine equipment, and financing options — without you ever climbing a roof. Installation itself is a separate trade covered in our Solar Installation course.

Walk down any street in Surulere or Sabon Gari at 8pm and count the generators. A family running a small gen five hours a night can burn ₦100,000 or more in a month — that is not an electricity bill; that is school fees disappearing into a fuel tank. Solar has stopped being a rich man's toy and become simple arithmetic, and somebody has to explain that arithmetic to customers: you.
