Choosing between immediate cost and long-term value is critical. This projection illustrates the significant savings you can achieve over five years by investing in a Firman Lithium Energy Storage System compared to relying on a traditional diesel generator.

Assumptions:

  • Diesel Generator: 10kVA running 8 hours/day.
  • Firman Lithium System: 10kWh LiFePO4 battery with a 5kVA inverter, charged primarily by solar or grid.
  • Diesel Price: N700/litre (average, subject to change).
  • Diesel Consumption: 2.5 litres/hour for a 10kVA generator.
  • Grid Electricity Price: N60/kWh (average, for comparison).
  • Firman Lithium Lifespan: 10+ years (no replacement needed within 5 years).
  • Diesel Generator Lifespan: 5 years (requires significant maintenance/replacement parts).

Cost FactorDiesel Generator (5 Years)Firman Lithium System (5 Years)Savings with Firman
Initial Purchase PriceNGN 1,500,000NGN 5,000,000-(NGN 3,500,000) (Higher initial cost)
Fuel Cost (Diesel @ N700/L, 8hrs/day)NGN 10,220,000NGN 0 (No fuel for operation)NGN 10,220,000
Maintenance & Service (Oil, filters, repairs)NGN 750,000NGN 100,000 (Minimal, e.g., occasional dusting)NGN 650,000
Battery Replacement (Every 2 years for Lead-Acid)N/A (Assumed lead-acid for inverter, but we're comparing against diesel, so this column is for generator)NGN 0 (No battery replacement needed)NGN 0
Generator Overhaul/Major RepairNGN 500,000NGN 0NGN 500,000
Noise & Pollution ImpactSignificantNoneImmeasurable Quality of Life
Total Cost Over 5 YearsNGN 12,970,000NGN 5,100,000NGN 7,870,000

Conclusion:Despite the higher initial investment, the Firman Lithium System delivers an estimated NGN 7,870,000 in savings over just five years compared to a diesel generator. This doesn't even account for the invaluable benefits of silent operation, zero emissions, and the peace of mind that comes with a reliable, automatic power supply.

Invest in Firman. Invest in your future.
