Overview
In a fast-evolving energy landscape—especially in Nigeria, where demand for clean energy is growing—scalability is key. Jeho Ashar Energy addresses this need with modular solar mounting systems, allowing projects to start small and expand seamlessly as funding or power demand grows. These mounting systems are engineered for plug-and-play expansion without requiring a complete redesign or costly downtime.
What Is a Modular Solar Mounting System?
A modular mounting system is one that:
- Uses standardized components (rails, clamps, bases) that can be replicated easily
- Allows solar arrays to be expanded row by row
- Minimizes disruptions to existing installations during expansion
- Is optimized for utility, commercial, and microgrid projects
Benefits of Jeho Ashar’s Modular Approach
⚙️ 4.1 Standardized Component System
- All systems use a core set of interchangeable rails, clamps, and supports
- Panel size and type flexibility is built into the mounting rails (adjustable mid and end clamps)
🧩 4.2 Grid or Off-Grid Expandability
- Solar farms can be built in phases—starting at 10kW, scaling up to 100kW+ without new structural plans
- Especially useful in community solar, mini-grid systems, and agri-solar fields
🔧 4.3 Easy Field Integration
- Pre-drilled rails and brackets allow new panels to be installed onto existing frames with minimal tools
- Foundations are placed with future rows in mind, avoiding crowding or redesigns
Use Case: Modular Growth in Rural Electrification Projects
In southern Kaduna, Jeho Ashar deployed a 30kW modular mini-grid with plans for an additional 20kW based on community demand. The mounting system was pre-configured for expansion:
- Space was allocated for additional rows
- Cable conduits and inverter spacing were built into the frame design
- Local technicians were trained to add new panels using the same mounting kits
Advantages for Developers and Investors
- Reduces upfront cost: Start small and scale later without sunk costs in custom mounting
- Improves maintenance: Identical parts across expansion phases simplify spares and servicing
- Accelerates deployment: Repeatable design means less engineering work for each phase
Jeho Ashar’s Custom Modular Kits Include:
- Pre-cut aluminum or galvanized steel rails
- Universal mid and end clamps
- Adjustable leg bases and tilt brackets
- Foundation anchoring options (ground screw, ballast, or concrete pads)
- Expansion-ready design drawings and site layout plans
