Renewables & Energy Storage Systems

We deploy on-site renewables and energy storage systems that integrate energy management, storage, and micro-grid capabilities with smart control – which allows for greater control and flexibility of your electricity usage.

Many corporations throughout Africa rely solely on electricity from the national grid, which means that they have little flexibility in their own power infrastructure to limit the damages of power interruptions. Hotspot Integrated Services can work with you to develop a bespoke, future-proof energy storage system that fits seamlessly into your existing power infrastructure.

Whether you are in manufacturing or a telecommunications operator, you need to be able to safeguard against outages and latency in your power infrastructure in order to maintain maximum operational efficiency.

Our robust industrial power storage systems work by providing you with your own on-site battery storage unit capable of storing the excess power generated in times of lower demand in order to provide electricity to your site at a time when you need it most. Every minute of power outage or energy disruption could result in a loss in revenue running into millions of Naira. Our systems will protect your operations from unpredictable events like outages and power surges, and lessen your site’s reliance on the national power grid.

Retrofitting with Energy Efficiency Devices

We provide energy efficiency solutions from high-efficiency LED retrofits, to complex central plants and everything in-between. Wasted energy, in the form of lighting, heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC), can be reduced by adopting impactful energy conservation measures. At Hotspot Integrated Services, we deploy proven and innovative retrofits to accelerate energy efficiency upgrades across facilities, infrastructures, and real estate portfolios.

In an evolving marketplace, businesses need to capitalize on cost savings and other benefits of energy efficiency technologies.

Tower Co-location Services

Tower Co-location Services

Tower co-location services is when the company operates a tower that it has built for one or more teleco company use. There are two main models here: tower ownership and license to lease. Hotspot infrastructure is predominately Tower Ownership – Partial Co-Location. This is the model where Hotspot builds and owns most of the tower infrastructure, except for power generation. This is provided by the teleco company. Hotspot may then have a license to lease agreement with the teleco providing the power generation to lease space on the tower to other telecos. The company has transited to Tower Ownership – Full Co-Location where it would own 100% of all tower infrastructure on-site, including power generation. In this model, the telecos would simply lease space on the tower on a contractual basis.

Distributed Antenna Services

This is the model where Hotspot builds antenna solutions used to re-distribute a teleco’s signal in high capacity and densely populated locations, allowing the telecom to increase densification and coverage/capacity.
