Cost of Solar PV Systems in Kenya
Do you want to switch from Grid to Solar PV systems but are wondering what the Cost of Solar PV Systems in Kenya is?
Solar PV Systems are designed depending on the needs of the user. This will determine the components to used and ultimately the cost of the system.
For example, a solar water pump system does not require battery banks for storage and is cheaper compared to a home system that requires storage.
Planning a Solar PV System
When planning a solar PV system, we need to design the following;
1. Figure out how much power you need.
2. Calculate the number of batteries you need.
3. Calculate the number of solar panels needed.
4. Select a charge controller and inverter.
5. Balance of system (Fuses, breakers, breaker boxes, mounting, wires…)
With a good design of the above, It will be easy to come up with the cost of a Solar Photo Voltaic System.
Typical Costs
1. Simple home system (Fridge, TV & Lights): Kshs 150,000
2. 4 Panels With Storage: From Kshs 300,000
3. 5 Panels With Storage: From Kshs 500,000
4. 10 Panels With Storage: From Kshs 800,000
- Solar Batteries Only: Starting at Ksh 39,000
- Solar Panels Only (360 Watts): Starting at Ksh 19,999
We also do Domestic and Commercial Facility Energy Audit Starting at Ksh 5,000
