FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before going solar in Kenya.

How much does it cost to install solar in Kenya?

+
Indicatively (2026): a small home system runs about KSh 100,000–200,000, a typical hybrid home with battery backup about KSh 200,000–500,000, and commercial systems from around KSh 1,000,000 for 15 kW. Your exact cost depends on system size, type, battery capacity, components and site — we provide an itemised quote after a site assessment.

How long does a solar installation take?

+
A typical residential installation is completed within a few days once components are on site and the design is approved. Larger commercial systems take longer. Timelines depend on system size, roof type and site access — we confirm a schedule in your quote.

Which solar system is best for a Kenyan home?

+
For most homes, a hybrid system (solar + battery + grid) is the best balance — it lowers your KPLC bill and keeps essential appliances running during outages without the higher cost of going fully off-grid.

How much can solar save on my electricity bill?

+
With a correctly sized system, many Kenyan households reduce grid electricity use substantially, commonly cited around 70–90%, depending on the system and usage. We model your specific expected savings as part of the quote.

Do you provide maintenance after installation?

+
Yes. We offer monitoring and scheduled maintenance to keep your system at peak performance and protect its lifespan. Ask us about our maintenance packages when you request a quote.

Do you install solar outside Nairobi?

+
Yes — we serve Nairobi, Kiambu and Machakos with local teams for fast site visits, installation and after-sales support. Contact us to discuss your location.

Is my installer licensed?

+
Solar and electrical installation in Kenya should be carried out by EPRA-licensed technicians. Kamatye's team is licensed and qualified, this protects your safety, warranty and compliance. Always verify your installer's credentials before signing.

What if my system has a problem after installation?

+
Call us directly on 0722 841 601 or 0702 068 376. As your installer, we know your specific system and can diagnose and resolve issues quickly. We offer both workmanship warranty cover and support in handling manufacturer warranty claims for components.
