Getting started
What is SmartSolar?
SmartSolar is a solar energy company that helps Nigerian households own reliable solar power through flexible monthly financing.
How much does it cost to get started?
You start with a small deposit rather than the full cost of a system. The balance is spread over manageable monthly instalments, and your exact plan is shown in the app before you confirm anything.
Which areas do you cover?
We install across all 36 states in Nigeria. Availability of specific packages and installation timelines may vary by location.
Do I need to own my home?
We recommend confirming you have the right to install on the property. If you rent or lease, please get your landlord’s consent before installation.
Payments & wallet
How do I fund my wallet?
Once your KYC is complete we generate a dedicated funding account for you. Any transfer you make to that account is credited to your SmartSolar wallet automatically.
What payment methods are supported?
Payments within the app are made from your SmartSolar wallet. You fund the wallet by bank transfer to your dedicated account, which keeps all transactions in one place.
How do I withdraw money?
Withdrawals are paid to the verified bank account you provided during KYC. Initiate a withdrawal from your wallet in the app and it is processed securely through our regulated payment partner.
Are there withdrawal fees?
Any applicable fees are shown clearly on the withdrawal screen before you confirm, so there are no surprises.
KYC & security
Why do I need to complete KYC?
KYC (Know Your Customer) is a regulatory requirement. Verifying your identity protects you and the platform, and it is what allows us to generate your funding account and process payouts.
What does the KYC process involve?
There are four steps: BVN and account name verification, salary information, your location details, and a facial check. You can complete them at your own pace and resume any step later.
How is my data protected?
Your data is encrypted and stored securely. Sensitive documents are kept on protected storage, and we never share your information without a lawful basis. See our Privacy Policy for details.
Is my money safe?
Wallet balances and payouts are handled through a licensed payment provider. We also apply strict security controls, including rate limiting and multi-factor checks.
Account & support
How do I verify my email address?
After signing up we send a 6-digit code to your email. Enter it in the app to verify. If you need a new code you can request one after a 60-second cooldown.
I forgot my password. What do I do?
Use the "Forgot password" option on the sign-in screen to receive reset instructions, or contact support if you still need help.
How do I raise a service request?
From the app, open the Services section and submit a request. Our team will schedule a visit or follow up with you as needed.
How do I delete my account?
You can request deletion from the Delete Account page or directly from the app’s settings. We verify each request before processing it.
