When you use power
Daytime consumption is offset directly by the panels. Evening consumption needs storage, which costs more.
Enter your monthly electricity spend to see a rough estimate of system size, cost and savings. This is an indication to help you plan — the real figure comes from a site survey.
Take an average across the last three KPLC bills.
Businesses use most of their power during daylight, so more of the bill can be offset.
Battery storage adds cost but keeps you running when the grid goes down.
These figures are planning estimates based on typical Kenyan tariffs and average irradiance of roughly 5.5 peak sun hours per day. Your actual system size, cost and savings depend on your roof, shading, load profile and tariff band, all of which we measure during the free site survey.
Four things move a solar estimate more than anything else.
Daytime consumption is offset directly by the panels. Evening consumption needs storage, which costs more.
Orientation, pitch, available area and shading from tanks, trees or neighbouring buildings all affect output.
Higher consumption sits in more expensive bands, so heavy users save more per unit generated.
Running essentials for four hours costs far less than running the whole house overnight.
