Question 1

What does LeapSolutions do?

Accepted Answer

We design, build and operate solar, energy-storage, EV-charging and digital-infrastructure projects across Africa, backed by our Helios OS platform for monitoring and control.

Question 2

Which countries do you operate in?

Accepted Answer

Our engineering teams are headquartered in Kaduna, Nigeria, and we deliver projects across West, East and Southern Africa through certified local partners.

Question 3

Do you serve residential customers?

Accepted Answer

Our core focus is commercial, industrial, agricultural and public-sector projects. Residential enquiries are referred to vetted installer partners through Leap Store.

Question 4

How long does a typical commercial solar project take?

Accepted Answer

From signed contract to commissioning: 8–16 weeks for rooftop systems and 4–9 months for utility-scale or floating-solar deployments, depending on permitting and grid connection.

Question 5

Can you retrofit storage to an existing solar plant?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We size battery systems against your historical load and PV profile, integrate them with Helios OS, and stage commissioning to avoid downtime.

Question 6

Is floating solar suitable for African water bodies?

Accepted Answer

Floating solar works well on calm freshwater reservoirs, dams and treatment ponds. We run bathymetry, wind-load and environmental assessments before recommending it.

Question 7

What charger types do you install?

Accepted Answer

AC Type-2 (7–22 kW) for fleets and workplaces, and DC fast-charging (50–360 kW) with CCS2 for transit corridors and depots. Most sites are paired with on-site solar and storage.

Question 8

Do you manage the charging network after installation?

Accepted Answer

Yes — Helios OS includes OCPP 1.6/2.0.1 management, driver authentication, dynamic pricing and reconciliation.

Question 9

What is Helios OS?

Accepted Answer

Helios OS is our cloud platform for monitoring solar, storage, EV and agricultural assets in real time, with alarming, performance analytics and remote control.

Question 10

Can Helios OS connect to my existing inverters and meters?

Accepted Answer

We support Sungrow, Huawei, SMA, Victron, GoodWe, Solis, ABB and most Modbus-TCP/SunSpec devices. Custom integrations can be commissioned.

Question 11

Is my data secure?

Accepted Answer

Data is encrypted in transit and at rest, segregated per tenant, and hosted in regional data centres with role-based access and audit logging.

Question 12

What kinds of buildings do you design for?

Accepted Answer

We deliver electrical and lighting designs for residential homes and estates, commercial buildings (offices, retail, hospitality), and industrial facilities including factories, warehouses and process plants.

Question 13

Do you design lighting for hospitals and healthcare facilities?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We design healthcare-grade lighting and electrical systems for hospitals and clinics — including circadian and tunable-white lighting for wards, low-glare task lighting for theatres and labs, UPS/essential power distribution, and code-compliant emergency and standby circuits.

Question 14

Can you handle stage, event and architectural lighting?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our team covers stage and event lighting (DMX/Art-Net control, moving heads, LED wash, rigging plots) as well as architectural façade and landscape lighting, integrated with the building's electrical design.

Question 15

What deliverables come with an electrical & lighting design?

Accepted Answer

Single-line diagrams, load schedules, cable and protection sizing, DIALux/Relux lighting studies, luminaire schedules, control narratives (DALI/KNX/DMX where relevant), BOQs and tender-ready drawings.

Question 16

Do you offer financing or PPAs?

Accepted Answer

For qualifying C&I sites we structure Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and lease-to-own options through our financing partners.

Question 17

What warranties do you provide?

Accepted Answer

Standard 25-year linear power warranty on modules, 10-year inverter warranty, and a 2-year workmanship warranty. Helios OS support is included for the contract term.

Question 18

How do I request a quote?

Accepted Answer
