In early 2025, E-abel’s sub-brand Isource, which focuses on emerging markets across Africa, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia, successfully secured a major EPC contract for a new water plant project in Nigeria.
After three months of intensive discussions, negotiations, and technical solution presentations, E-abel impressed the client with its strong service capabilities, fast-response engineering support, and exceptional supply chain management. In April, Isource officially won the contract to deliver a complete commercial energy storage system for this critical infrastructure project.
The client, a newly established water plant in Nigeria, needed a reliable and robust commercial solar + storage solution to ensure uninterrupted operations and lower dependence on unstable local grids.
Facing unpredictable energy supply and high operational costs, the water plant’s leadership sought a trusted partner to provide a fully integrated system — from solar panel sourcing to battery storage and on-site commissioning.
After an in-depth feasibility analysis and multiple design optimizations, E-abel’s Isource brand proposed a comprehensive, fully customized solution:
Isource handled the procurement and local deployment of 778 high-efficiency PV modules, ensuring maximum power generation in Nigeria’s high-irradiation environment.
We provided fully integrated inverters, DC combiner boxes, and PV combiner boxes, all pre-engineered to ensure smooth connectivity between PV arrays and storage units.
A highlight of this project was the design and assembly of a modular, container-based commercial energy storage system, which included:
Battery module integration with a total capacity of 578 kWh
Smart energy management controls
Factory pre-testing and local installation readiness
With Isource’s established office and engineering team in Nigeria, we were able to deliver truly local installation and commissioning support. From engineering design to final on-site deployment, we provided a full one-stop service, significantly reducing installation time and operational risks.
Total system power output: 250 kW
Total energy storage capacity: 578 kWh
Containerized modular design, ready for rapid deployment
Full pre-delivery testing and simulation, ensuring on-site plug-and-play functionality
Compliance with local grid and safety standards
Once the final engineering design was approved, E-abel’s advanced manufacturing and supply chain teams rapidly coordinated production and assembly, completing the containerized system in just 25 days — a remarkable timeline for a project of this scale.
The system is now ready for shipment and is scheduled to arrive at the water plant site in Nigeria in early July for final installation and commissioning.
With Isource’s dedicated teams in Nigeria, we offer localized engineering services and rapid response maintenance, minimizing downtime and communication barriers.
Our one-stop EPC service covers design, procurement, manufacturing, assembly, testing, shipping, and installation — enabling clients to focus on their core operations.
By providing integrated solar and battery storage containers, E-abel ensures seamless power management and optimized efficiency, even in challenging environments.
Every component, from PV combiners to battery modules, adheres to strict quality control standards and international certifications, ensuring system reliability and safety.
Beyond water plants, E-abel’s containerized commercial energy storage systems are widely applicable to:
Industrial factories
Commercial buildings
Mining sites
Remote community microgrids
Large-scale agricultural facilities
This milestone project in Nigeria further cements E-abel and Isource’s reputation as trusted partners in delivering safe, efficient, and fully customized commercial solar energy storage solutions worldwide.
Whether supporting new infrastructure in Africa or industrial expansion in Southeast Asia, E-abel continues to empower global partners with reliable, integrated, and locally supported energy systems.
