How to Protect Solar Lights From Theft in Kenya

By Qyvea Limited · Updated 20 October 2026 · 2 min read

Solar lights and panels are targets. A few simple steps greatly reduce the risk.

Mount it high and secure

Mount the light on a pole or wall above reach, using the bracket and bolts supplied. All-in-one units have no cable to cut, which helps.

Ask your installer about bolts that are hard to remove with common tools.

Motion-sensor solar lights with the pole included. No wiring, no power bill. Pick your size:

Place another light or a camera so the lights are watched.

A light that disappears should be reported. A community that knows to watch for it helps.

In short: Mount high, fix firmly and keep an eye on the lights.

Are all-in-one lights safer from theft?

There are no cables between parts, so they are harder to strip, but any light can be stolen if it is within reach.

Should I engrave it?

Marking your lights helps recovery.

Tell us where you want the light and we will recommend the right size, even if it means a cheaper one.
