Solar installation in Kenya: quick answers

How much does solar installation cost in Kenya?

The price depends on your daily power use, the inverter and battery size, and the roof. A small backup system for lights, TV and Wi-Fi costs far less than a full-home hybrid system, so we size the system from your appliance list and quote after a site assessment. Our solar calculator gives a first estimate.

Who installs solar in Nairobi?

Qyvea Limited designs and installs solar power and solar backup for homes, shops, offices, schools and estates, and supplies the panels, inverters, batteries and mounting.

Do I need batteries?

Batteries keep lights, Wi-Fi, CCTV and fridges running at night and during outages. Grid-tied systems without batteries save on bills but stop when the grid fails.

Qyvea Limited supplies and installs across Kenya from Nairobi. Equipment is delivered to your site, and installation is booked after a site assessment.

How a solar system works, and what a complete system needs

Solar panels turn sunlight into DC power. An inverter converts it to the AC your sockets use, a battery stores energy for the night and power cuts, and a charge controller protects the battery.

What decides the design

  • List your appliances and how long each runs. Add up the daily energy in kWh.
  • Decide how long you want the battery to carry the load without sun.
  • Check the roof area, angle and shade.
  • Choose grid-tied, hybrid or off-grid depending on your power supply and budget.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Sizing the inverter and battery without a list of loads.
  • Mixing old and new batteries.
  • Skipping surge protection and earthing.
  • Undersized cables that heat up and lose power.
