Two identical houses can differ by more than double, because one runs air conditioning and a water heater and the other does not. Cost follows your measured load, the battery capacity you need for backup, roof type and cable run. That is why we quote only after the site survey: you get a written, itemised figure covering modules, inverter, batteries, mounting, cabling, protection, labour and commissioning — no surprise charges later. Call 0729 611 386 for an indicative range for your building.

Most homes and shops that consume power during daylight remove the majority of their daytime import — and businesses running day shifts see the fastest payback because their load and the sun are awake at the same time. Backup batteries cost more and pay back more slowly, so we model your specific tariff and consumption and show you the number we will be judged on, rather than a slogan.

Only if you need power after sunset or during an outage. A grid-tied array without batteries is the cheapest per unit of energy and is usually the right call for a factory that trades by day. A hybrid system with LiFePO₄ storage is the right call for a home that cannot lose the fridge, Wi-Fi and lighting, or for a clinic or school. We will happily talk you out of batteries you do not need.

Net metering lets the surplus you generate during the day run your meter backwards instead of being wasted, so you bank it against evening consumption. Your distribution company approves the interconnection and installs a bi-directional meter; eligibility depends on your tariff and transformer capacity. We prepare and submit the application, and where net metering is not yet available for your supply we design a zero-export or battery-first system instead.

Usually yes, but the board has to be inspected before anyone promises that. We check the main switch, breakers, RCD sensitivity, earthing and whether your supply is single- or three-phase — and if the board needs upgrading, that work appears in the quote up front, not after the scaffolding is up. Every system we hand over has proper DC and AC isolation and surge protection.

Quality modules are warranted for 25 years of output performance and commonly outlast that. Hybrid inverters typically carry 5–10 years, and LiFePO₄ battery banks are rated for thousands of cycles — roughly 10 years of daily use. We size for the weakest link, stock common spares in Nairobi, and register every serial number so warranty claims are our problem, not yours.

Concrete slabs, box-profile and tile roofs all work; what matters is orientation, shading, purlin and slab condition, and safe access for the install and for future cleaning. If the structure is tired or the roof is badly shaded, we will say so and propose a ground mount or carport instead — panels on a weak roof are a liability, not a saving.

Yes, when the design respects motor inrush. Motors, compressors and welders draw several times their rated current on start-up, so we look at soft starters or VFDs, size inverter headroom accordingly, and split heavy loads onto the grid where that is cheaper than a battery the size of a wardrobe. For irrigation we size pump, controller and array together so the tank fills on sunlight alone.

At night a grid-tied system steps aside and the grid feeds you; a hybrid system draws from batteries and then from the grid or generator automatically. We design against your worst month, not the prettiest December day, so rainy-season production is already in the numbers we quote you.

Yes. Payments are structured against milestones — deposit on order, balance on delivery, and a final tranche after commissioning and testing. Businesses and institutions receive a proper VAT invoice, serial numbers and a fixed-asset schedule for their accounts. We service systems we did not install too, so if your existing array is underperforming, call us anyway.
