Why Kenyan Homes and Businesses Choose Us
We supply only Tier-1 solar panels and genuine, warrantied inverters and batteries — never unbranded imports — because a solar investment is meant to perform reliably for 25 years, and cutting corners on component quality undermines that entire premise. Every project starts with a free site assessment so your system is sized to your actual appliances and consumption, not a generic package. We serve homes, businesses, schools and farms nationwide, with free delivery in Nairobi and 24-hour delivery countrywide.
Frequently Asked Questions
Where do I start if I’ve never looked into solar before? A phone call. Tell us what you’re trying to power and your current KPLC or generator costs, and we’ll point you to the right system size and type before any quote is discussed.
Do you only install new systems, or can you help with an existing installation? We handle new installations, system expansions, and can advise on existing setups, including whether previously installed equipment is genuine and performing as it should.
How quickly can I get a quote? Site assessments are typically scheduled within days, with a written quotation following shortly after, based on your actual measured consumption and appliances.
Is a free site assessment really free? Yes, with no obligation to proceed — it’s the only way to size a system accurately rather than guessing.
