Question 1

How much does a home solar system cost in Kenya?

Accepted Answer

A basic grid-tied system starts around Ksh 300,000–500,000. A hybrid system with battery backup typically ranges from Ksh 500,000–1,200,000 depending on size.

Question 2

Do I need batteries, or can I go grid-tied without storage?

Accepted Answer

Grid-tied without batteries is cheaper and offsets your bill, but doesn't provide backup during outages. We'll explain the trade-offs during the consultation.

Question 3

What happens on cloudy days or at night?

Accepted Answer

A grid-tied system without batteries draws from the grid when solar isn't producing. A hybrid system with batteries can run on stored power.
