Questions

The things people ask us first.

What is Pryme?

Pryme is a financial technology company. It gives people and businesses in Nigeria one account that holds Naira alongside dollars, pounds and euros, and a set of agents that do the running of it — keeping the books, chasing what is owed, answering customers and paying bills. Nothing leaves an account without the owner’s approval.

Can I hold dollars, pounds and euros in a Pryme account?

Yes. A Pryme account holds Naira, US dollars, pounds sterling and euros side by side on one ledger, each with its own account details — a Nigerian account number, a US account number, a UK sort code and an IBAN for the euro area. You can swap between them at a rate you set, and every currency has its own statement.

What is Spaces?

Spaces is available in Nigeria. It gives a shopper money to spend that can only be spent with a participating business. The business is paid into its Naira account whether or not the shopper repays, because Pryme carries the credit. For the business it is free to join, there is nothing monthly, and the customer’s identity is never shown — only a reference and what it is worth.

What do the agents on a Pryme Business Account do?

Five agents come with the account. The Chief of Staff runs the week and keeps what is stuck moving. Finance watches the money and keeps the books as you trade. Compliance keeps the filings on time and screens what moves. Sales chases what you are owed. Customer Support answers your customers and follows up. Each has a job description, a budget and a ceiling you set, and each one proposes rather than acts — nothing leaves the account without your signature.

How does Pryme Pay work?

Pryme Pay takes payments on your own site or on a checkout page you control. The buyer is given a one-time account number and transfers to it from any bank app or by USSD — no card, no OTP, nothing to type in. The money lands in the same account your agents are running, already matched to the order and already in your books.

What are Savings Boxes?

Savings Boxes are separate pots inside a Pryme account, held in Naira. Flexible Boxes can be withdrawn at any time, Fixed Boxes hold to a date, Investment Boxes hold for longer, and Interest-free Boxes earn nothing by design. A business can use them to ring-fence payroll and the tax it withholds, so that money cannot be spent by accident.

Who holds my money, and is it protected?

Pryme is a financial technology company, not a bank. Accounts and deposits are provided by Solid Allianze Microfinance Bank Limited, which is licensed by the Central Bank of Nigeria and is a member of the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation.

Can I build on Pryme?

Yes. Pryme Rails lets a platform issue a dedicated Naira account number to each of its own customers, collect into it and reconcile against it, over one API — the same rails the Pryme Business Account runs on.

What is Pryme?

Pryme is a financial technology company. It gives you one account that holds US dollars, pounds sterling and euros beside Naira, with an assistant that runs the account for you and asks before anything moves. Accounts are provided in Nigeria today, and further markets open as each licence lands.

Can I open a Pryme account from outside Nigeria?

Accounts are provided in Nigeria today, subject to verification and approval. Foreign-currency balances are held and converted inside that account, so you can hold, receive and swap dollars, pounds and euros wherever you are.

Which currencies can I hold with Pryme?

Naira, US dollars, pounds sterling and euros, side by side on one ledger. Each has its own details — a Nigerian account number, a US account number, a UK sort code and an IBAN for the euro area — and each has its own statement.

How do I send money to Nigeria with Pryme?

Swap at a rate you set rather than the rate of the day, then send to any Pryme username or to a Nigerian bank account. There is no fee to send to another Pryme account.

What does the assistant do?

Eva is the assistant inside the Pryme app. She opens accounts, moves money, saves toward your goals, pays what is due and follows up what is owed to you — and asks you before anything moves.

What is Pryme Rails?

Pryme Rails lets a platform issue a dedicated Naira account number to each of its own customers, collect into it and reconcile against it, over one API — the same rails the Pryme Business Account runs on.

Solar installation business: training, certification and margins

NEMSA certification rules for solar installers, safety standards from the April 2026 notice, sourcing equipment, and a labelled margin on a 5kVA install.

PE
Pryme editorialMake money desk · 19 Oct 2026 · 4 min read
The short answer

Solar installers in Nigeria must work as NEMSA-certified electrical contractors and carry a valid NEMSA competency certificate on site, according to a NEMSA public notice of April 2026 citing the Electricity Act 2023. Margins on installs are thinner than many expect: in our labelled 5kVA example, a ₦3.75 million job leaves about ₦287,500 after equipment, accessories, labour, transport and a warranty reserve.

What the regulator now requires

In a public notice signed by the Chief Electrical Inspector of the Federation and published on 20 April 2026, the Nigerian Electricity Management Services Agency (NEMSA) warned about rising solar panel fires and said installations must be done by NEMSA-certified electrical contractors. The installer must hold a valid NEMSA competency certificate during the work. The notice cites sections 176(m) and 184(8) of the Electricity Act 2023. It did not list penalties.

For anyone starting out, this means a solar business is an electrical contracting business. Plan your training and certification first, and treat the paperwork as part of what you sell: clients and estate managers can ask to see it.

The safety standards in the notice

  • Do a load assessment so the system is sized correctly.
  • Mount on a structurally sound roof with suitable mounting structures.
  • Do not install modules with cracks, bent frames, air bubbles, hot spots or loose junction boxes.
  • Keep at least 0.13m clearance between the roofing and the panels.
  • Fit DC and AC isolators for emergency shutdown, correctly rated breakers and fuses, and surge protection.
  • Earth the system with a resistance of 2 ohms or below.
  • Place batteries in a ventilated, secure location away from living areas and heat; lithium batteries need a battery management system and cooling.
  • Separate loads at the distribution board where the system cannot carry the whole house.
  • Run solar cables in conduit or trunking, separately from communication cables.

These are the checks a careful client will ask about. Build them into a written handover sheet for each job.

Training routes

Most installers come from one of three backgrounds: qualified electricians who add solar skills, technicians trained by equipment distributors, or graduates of short solar courses run by private training centres and institutions. Whichever route you take, make sure the training covers DC wiring and protection, battery safety, earthing and load calculations, and ask whether it prepares you for NEMSA certification. Working under a certified contractor on real installs is the fastest way to learn how jobs go wrong.

Sourcing panels, inverters and batteries

Equipment is the largest cost on every job. Buy from distributors who give written warranties and can replace faulty units, and keep the paperwork for each serial number so you can pass warranty claims to the client. Forvis Mazars notes that renewable energy equipment is listed as VAT-suspended under the Nigeria Tax Act 2025, effective 1 January 2026; check how this applies to the items you buy and sell, since VAT otherwise stays at 7.5%.

For a sense of what clients pay, Legit.ng reported in April 2026 a buyer who paid about ₦3.75 million for a 5kVA inverter, a 5kW lithium battery and eight 590W panels. One reported case is not a market price, but it is the kind of figure clients will compare you against.

Margins on an install: worked example

Example only. A 5kVA system sold to a client for ₦3,750,000.

Item (example)Amount
Inverter, battery and panels (installer's cost)₦2,950,000
Cables, breakers, isolators, surge protection, mounting, earthing₦280,000
Labour: team of three for two days₦90,000
Transport₦30,000
Total cost₦3,350,000
Price to client₦3,750,000
Gross margin₦400,000 (about 10.7%)
Warranty and callback reserve (3% of price)₦112,500
Left after reserve₦287,500

Two lessons follow. First, cutting accessory quality to win on price removes the safety items the NEMSA notice lists and leaves little margin to absorb a callback. Second, profit grows from service as much as from installs: maintenance visits, battery health checks and system expansions are smaller jobs with better margins.

Pricing design, labour and aftercare

Many new installers give the design away free and earn only on equipment. That leaves no income from the load assessment, which takes time and is the step the NEMSA notice puts first. Consider a small survey fee that is credited against the job if the client goes ahead. Price labour per job from the team-days it takes, not as a fixed share of equipment cost, because a roof that is hard to reach takes longer whatever the inverter size.

  • State on every quote what the client gets: equipment brands and sizes, protection devices, earthing, cabling route and handover.
  • Offer a maintenance plan, for example a visit every six months to clean panels, check connections and review battery health.
  • Say clearly which warranties come from the manufacturer and what you cover yourself, and for how long.

Getting work

  • Partner with electricians, estate developers and architects who specify systems for clients.
  • Offer small commercial systems to shops, pharmacies and clinics with clear running-cost comparisons.
  • Check government and agency programmes, such as those run by the Rural Electrification Agency, for installer calls; read the terms on the agency's own site.
  • Show your certification, past installs and handover sheets.

Where Pryme fits

Solar jobs involve large deposits for equipment. A Pryme Business Account holds client deposits separately, invoicing sets out equipment and labour line by line, and verifiable receipts built with VerifyDoc.ai give clients a record they can keep with their warranty papers. See also our guide to prepaid and postpaid electricity, which many clients ask about.

Questions people ask

Do I need NEMSA certification to install solar in Nigeria?

Yes. A NEMSA public notice of April 2026 says installations must be done by NEMSA-certified electrical contractors holding a valid competency certificate during the work, citing the Electricity Act 2023.

How much profit is in solar installation in Nigeria?

In our labelled example, a ₦3.75 million 5kVA install leaves a gross margin of ₦400,000, about 10.7%, and about ₦287,500 after a warranty reserve.

Is there VAT on solar panels in Nigeria?

Forvis Mazars reports that renewable energy equipment is listed as VAT-suspended under the Nigeria Tax Act 2025. Check how this applies to each item you sell.

How much does a 5kVA solar system cost in Nigeria?

Prices vary by brand and battery. Legit.ng reported in April 2026 a buyer paying about ₦3.75 million for a 5kVA inverter, 5kW lithium battery and eight 590W panels.
