Why Solar in Kenya?

Solar culture in Kenya is finally catching up. It is long overdue. Companies and individuals are incorporating clean solar energy as part of their overall energy mix. We all want to be responsible citizens and most importantly save on bills. Most of the power supplied by the existing power company is unreliable and also expensive. In the age of remote work, this can be very inconvenient to clients. The number of hours lost and possible losses every time there is a power outage.

Kenya is on the equator. The solar map shows several places where solar intensity is high.  For big projects, companies can benefit from carbon credits for saving the environment. It can be so for big groups as well.

Saving energy bills with solar

We synchronize your solar power plant with the grid or generator tor reduce the amount of electricity you will need to import from the grid as part of your overall energy strategy. Kenya’s energy regulations do not allow producers to feed power to the grid. The system will have an energy management system.

Countries that have succeeded in solar energy

Germany had 43% of its power from renewable energy. Although the country has far less sunshine than Kenya, it got 8% of its total energy supply from solar in 2018. Solar producers from rooftop solar or even solar farms can sell their power to the country’s grid system and get a good income.  German solar panels in Kenya are also much sought after.

How solar works?

Solar PV Uses cells to convert sunlight into electricity. There are three categories.

• • Grid-tied solar PV
  • Offgrid solar PV
  • Hybrid solar PV

Solar battery

A solar battery, also known as a solar energy storage system, is an essential component of a solar power system. It enables the storage of excess electricity generated by solar panels during periods of high sunlight, allowing it to be used later when the sun is not shining or during times of increased energy demand. Solar batteries are typically rechargeable and come in different capacities to accommodate various energy storage needs. They play a crucial role in maximizing the efficiency and effectiveness of a solar system by providing a reliable and uninterrupted power supply, reducing reliance on the grid, and promoting energy independence. By utilizing solar batteries, individuals and businesses can optimize their solar energy usage, reduce energy costs, and contribute to a more sustainable and resilient energy future.
