Solar Lights for Your Backyard and Garden in Kenya

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

The backyard is often the darkest part of a home and the easiest way in. A solar light in the back means no dark corners.

What to light

The back door, the washing line, the water tank, the gate to the back and the garden path.

A 1000W is usually enough for a backyard. If you have a big garden or a long wall, choose the 2000W.

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

Mount it on the back wall or a pole where it can see the yard and the panel gets sun. Avoid placing it under an eave.

Light helps when you step out at night, when children play outside and when you want to see what is moving in the garden.

In short: A 1000W at the back wall removes the dark spot at the rear of your home.

Will it disturb my neighbours?

Aim the light into your yard rather than at their windows.

Can it be a garden decoration?
