The EPRA tariff amendment of 18 September 2026 defines unapproved grid injection as 'dumping' charged at the base tariff, and reports say no enforcement notices had been issued. Ask your installer whether your inverter can export, how export is limited, whether you have a signed net-metering agreement and your system size against the 4 kW single-phase and 10 kW three-phase limits. Keep your installation documents and correspondence.
Key takeaways
- Dumping means unapproved export to the grid.
- Ask how export is configured on your inverter.
- Do you have a net-metering agreement?
- Keep documents from installation onwards.
01What to look for before you buy
- Does my inverter export power to the grid, and can it be limited to zero?
- Do I have a signed net-metering agreement with Kenya Power?
- What is my system size compared with the allowed limits?
- Who installed it, and are they licensed?
- Do I have the installation certificate, invoices and commissioning report?
- Who can adjust settings and how are changes recorded?

05Frequently asked questions
Is a charge automatic for every solar home?
Reports say the notice does not automatically penalise every solar household; it targets unapproved export.
Do I need to change my settings myself?
No. Ask a qualified installer; do not alter protection settings yourself.
