Solar power

We install solar power systems in Kenya.

SachNet designs and installs grid-tied, hybrid and off-grid solar PV systems. We assess your electricity needs, size the equipment and handle installation and maintenance for homes, businesses and remote telecom sites.

Homes and offices

We assess your electricity use and available installation space before recommending a solar system. The design takes account of your power requirements and the type of supply you need.

  • Electricity use assessments
  • Solar PV system sizing
  • Grid-tied solar installations
  • Hybrid solar systems
  • Solar system maintenance

Commercial buildings

Commercial premises can have substantial electricity requirements during working hours. We assess energy use and design solar installations around the building's expected demand.

  • Commercial energy audits
  • Solar capacity assessments
  • Grid-tied and hybrid PV systems
  • Solar installation and commissioning
  • Ongoing system maintenance

Remote and telecom sites

Remote sites may have limited access to grid electricity. We design off-grid and hybrid solar systems based on the equipment load and required battery storage.

  • Remote site power assessments
  • Off-grid solar PV systems
  • Hybrid power installations
  • Battery storage sizing
  • Remote telecom power maintenance

Batteries, inverters and monitoring

Solar panels are only part of the system. We size and install battery storage and inverters, and help clients monitor power generation and consumption.

  • Battery storage systems
  • Inverter selection and installation
  • Energy monitoring
  • Power consumption assessments
  • System inspection and maintenance

A rough guide only. It assumes about KES 28 per kWh, 5 peak sun hours a day in Nairobi and 20% system losses. The real design depends on your roof, how you use power and how much backup you want.
