The cost of installing a solar system in Kenya depends on various factors, including the size of the system, the type of solar panels and batteries, and the installation complexity. A basic solar home system can cost between KSh 50,000 and KSh 150,000, while larger systems for businesses or industrial use can range from KSh 200,000 to KSh 1,000,000 or more.

Yes, you can go completely off-grid by installing a solar system with battery storage. However, the feasibility depends on your energy consumption, available roof space for panels, and budget. Many people opt for hybrid systems that combine solar with grid power for backup.

The number of panels you need depends on your monthly electricity consumption, the sunlight hours in your area, and the wattage of the panels. A professional installer can help assess your energy needs and recommend the right system size.

Yes you can add solar panels and batteries to your system but you require to have that in mind when procuring the original equipment.

Yes, you can use the above appliances as long as the sizing of the system was factored in during the design. However, for hot water heating, we recommend a solar thermal hot water system for water heating.

Yes, solar panels can still generate electricity on cloudy or rainy days, but at a reduced efficiency (typically 10% - 25% of peak capacity). Battery storage can help maintain a steady power supply during low sunlight periods.
