What If Your Job Could Make Solar Cheaper for You?
Most Nigerians wait to go solar because the upfront cost feels heavy. SunFi's Employer Payment Plan removes that hurdle by deducting your solar payment directly from your salary, the same way pension contributions and taxes are taken at source. No transfers to remember. No late fees. No missed payments. Your employer simply facilitates the deduction at zero cost to the company. After 18-24 months, the solar system is fully yours and your electricity becomes free for the next 20 years.

You want solar. You have done the maths. You know it makes sense. But the upfront cost still feels like a hurdle. Even with payment plans, finding extra money every month feels tight, especially with rent, school fees, and everything else competing for your salary.
This is the affordability gap we covered in our piece on how payment plans are making clean energy accessible in Nigeria.
What if your steady monthly salary was actually the strongest reason for SunFi to say yes to you? What if your job, the same thing that brings the income in every month, was the structure that made solar genuinely affordable?
That is how the SunFi payment plan is built. Salary earners are some of our most successful customers because a predictable monthly income is a near-perfect fit for a predictable monthly payment.
How Does the SunFi Payment Plan Work for Salary Earners?
The structure is simple. You pay a deposit, spread the rest over a tenor of 3 to 12 months, and the system is fully yours at the end. The monthly amount is tailored to your cash flow.
Most salary-earning Nigerian customers find the monthly figure is less than what they were already spending on diesel and grid tariffs combined.
Why Does a Steady Salary Make Solar Easier?
- Approval is faster: A regular monthly salary is one of the cleanest signals of repayment capacity.
- The deposit is manageable: A small portion at the start, then monthly payments. No need to save the full system cost.
- Automatic monthly payments remove the mental load: SunFi sets up a direct repayment schedule so the amount moves on a fixed date each month.
What Solar Systems Are Covered by the SunFi Payment Plan?
