Qyvea Limited is a Nairobi-based solar installer working across the city and its suburbs. We design and install grid-tied, off-grid and hybrid solar systems for standalone homes, townhouses, apartments (with body corporate approval), offices and gated estates — from Westlands and Riverside through Karen, Lavington, Kitisuru and Runda, to Rongai, Ruiru, Kiambu and Ngong. Every project starts with a free energy audit and an itemised quote, and every installation is EPRA-compliant and documented.

Cost in Nairobi depends on the size of the system, whether it is grid-tied, off-grid or hybrid, the battery capacity, roof or ground mount, and the existing electrical installation. A small home backup system starts modestly; larger residential and commercial systems run higher. Qyvea provides a free energy audit and itemised quote before any work begins.
Solar installations in Nairobi are regulated by EPRA (Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority). Grid-tied systems require EPRA approval and must be installed by a licensed solar contractor. Some estates and apartments also require management approval for roof-mounted panels. Qyvea is EPRA-registered and handles the compliance paperwork as part of the installation.
Yes. Panels still generate electricity on overcast days, just at reduced output. A properly sized system with battery storage is designed around annual solar yield, not peak output, so seasonal variation is built into the sizing. Nairobi's solar irradiance remains strong even during the long rains.
A small residential system typically installs in one to two days. Larger residential, commercial or estate systems usually take one to four weeks depending on size, roof structure, battery bank and whether the electrical installation needs upgrading. Qyvea gives a specific timeline in the quote after the site survey.
Yes. Qyvea installs solar for standalone homes, townhouses, apartments (with body corporate approval) and gated estates across Nairobi — including Westlands, Karen, Kilimani, Lavington, Kitisuru, Runda, Muthaiga, Gigiri, Riverside, Loresho, Kileleshwa, Parklands, and satellite towns.
