Energy AI

AI Solar and Generator Advisor

Tell it what you run and what you pay. It sizes the tradeoff — generator cost, fuel exposure, solar payback — and arms you for the installer conversation.

How this helps

Compare generator dependence, grid bills, fuel exposure, outage hours, and solar payback before you talk to installers — for a home, shop, office, school, farm, or small business.

Describe what you run todayCountry, city, electricity bill, generator size and hours, fuel type, load, outage hours, and budget range.

Built for where you are

Nigeria planning starts from dated petrol and diesel snapshots — every price shows when it was captured, and a missing pump price blocks the calculation instead of costing fuel at zero.

AfroFuel →Solar ROI →

Energy prices are perishable, so the tools show dated planning defaults and force your own pump price or tariff where it matters — never a silent zero.

The tools it opens

Every route ends in a real calculator or document tool — the assistant fills in what it learned, and you stay in control of the numbers.

Straight answers about limits

What it will not do

Solar sizing and payback are planning estimates, not installer quotes or engineering designs.
Fuel prices and tariffs move faster than any bundled dataset — the tools show review dates, and you should confirm locally before spending.

Privacy, plainly

A business electricity bill and its running hours say a lot about the business. Those figures stay on your device unless you choose to use the optional AI write-up.

Questions people actually ask

Will it tell me exactly what system to buy?

No — it gives you a rough size, a payback estimate, and the installer questions that protect you: load audit, site survey, warranties, after-sales support. The final design belongs to a qualified installer.

Are the fuel prices live?

They are dated snapshots, and the date is always shown. Pump prices move faster than any dataset, which is why the generator tools ask for your local price instead of assuming one.

Does it work for homes as well as businesses?

Yes — the same maths runs for a home, shop, office, school, or farm. The Nairobi example on this page is a home running a generator four hours a day.
