- Grand Square partners with Daystar Power to install 1.3MW solar systems.
- Both parties signed a Solar-as-a-Service (SaaS)
Daystar Power has signed a Solar-as-a-Service (SaaS) agreement with Grand Square to design and install a 1.3MW solar system to power three of its retail stores across Nigeria.
Daystar deployed 550kW and 230kW solar systems at its Abuja and Kano store locations. The rooftop installations comprised 1,048 525Wp panels and 438 525Wp panels. Both systems were a mix of rooftop, ground-mounted and carport installations.
For its Lagos outlet, Daystar installed a rooftop 600kW solar plant consisting of 1,143 525Wp panels. With the three solar power plants, Grand Square will offset a total of 5,102 MT in CO2 emissions over the installations’ twenty-year lifetime and save up an average of 44 per cent on its power costs.
According to a statement from the retailer, it made the switch to solar energy because of the dual benefits of cost savings and sustainability.
