How Long Do Solar Panels Actually Last?

You’ll see “25-year warranty” on basically every solar panel sold in Kenya, and it’s genuinely accurate — but it doesn’t mean what a lot of people assume it means. Let’s break down what actually happens to a panel over its lifetime, in plain terms. The panel doesn’t “die” at 25 years — it gradually produces less Solar panels don’t have a hard expiry date where they suddenly stop working. Instead, they degrade very slowly, producing a little less electricity each year as the materials inside age — this is completely normal and expected, not a sign of a faulty panel. […]

Solar Power for Hotels, Lodges and Hospitality Businesses in Kenya

Guests don’t come to a safari lodge or coastal hotel to hear a diesel generator running through the night. Yet for years, that’s been the trade-off much of Kenya’s hospitality sector has accepted — reliable power at the cost of noise, fumes, and a running fuel bill that eats directly into margins. Solar has become the practical fix, and it’s one of the sectors where the case for switching is often strongest, precisely because hospitality properties run power-hungry equipment around the clock with guests directly experiencing the result. A Real Example: A Kenyan Safari Lodge One lodge we worked with […]

How EV charging and solar power work together for Kenyan homes

Charging an Electric Vehicle at Home in Kenya?

Electric vehicle ownership is still a relatively new conversation in Kenya, but it’s growing quickly enough that Kenya Power has rolled out a dedicated e-mobility tariff specifically for EV charging — which tells you the utility expects meaningful growth in home charging demand. If you’re an EV owner, or considering becoming one, here’s how solar fits into that picture. KPLC’s e-mobility tariff, briefly Kenya Power now offers a specific discounted tariff for customers metered for EV charging — a lower per-unit rate during off-peak hours compared to peak hours, specifically to encourage charging at times that ease pressure on the […]

Solar Panels in Kenya: Jinko vs JA Solar vs Canadian Solar, Prices, Watts and What You Actually Need

If you have started looking at solar for your home, you have probably noticed that there are many different solar panels in Kenya. One supplier tells you to buy Jinko. Another recommends JA Solar. Someone else says Canadian Solar is the one to go for. Then you see panels marked 450W, 550W, 575W, 585W, 600W or even higher and start wondering, “Which one do I actually need?” It can get confusing very quickly. And honestly, we understand why. When you are spending money on a solar system, you don’t want someone to simply give you a quotation and tell you, […]

Is Solar Actually Worth It in Kenya in 2026?

We sell solar for a living, so take this with whatever grain of salt feels appropriate — but we’d rather give you a genuinely balanced answer than a sales pitch dressed up as an article, because an overhyped answer helps nobody, including us, once the disappointment shows up six months in. Short version: for most Kenyan households with a KPLC bill above roughly KSh 10,000–15,000 a month, or anyone dealing with regular blackouts, yes — the numbers work, and work well. For a small handful of situations, it’s genuinely worth waiting or reconsidering. Here’s the honest version of both sides. […]

Preparing Your Solar System for Kenya’s Rainy Season

Kenya’s two rainy seasons — the long rains roughly March to May, and the short rains around October to December — genuinely change how a solar system performs and what it needs from you. Neither season is a reason to worry about your system failing, but each brings specific, worth-knowing considerations that a few minutes of preparation can head off before they become a problem. Before the Rains Arrive: A Pre-Season Checklist A few weeks before the rains typically start in your area is the right time for a proactive check, not after the first storm has already tested your […]
