Solar · Battery Storage · Electrical — Kenya Coast

Energy systems,
engineered properly.

We design, install, and maintain solar, battery, and electrical systems for homes, businesses, lodges, and off-grid properties — built by our own team with components that survive the coast.

03System architectures

Grid-tie, hybrid, or off-grid.

Three ways to wire a property to the sun. We'll tell you honestly which one your situation calls for.

Schematic of a grid-tie solar system: solar array feeds the inverter, which powers the home and exchanges power with the grid

Grid-Tie Solar Systems

Grid-tie systems are connected to the utility grid, using solar power during the day and drawing from the grid when solar isn't producing enough.

Advantages

  • Lower upfront costs
  • Grid covers demand when solar isn't producing
  • No need for battery storage

Considerations

  • Dependent on the grid for power during outages

Installations that hold up.

Salt air, humidity, and heat are hard on equipment. Our installs are specified for the coast and built to be photographed.

06How it works

From first call to first kilowatt.

A measured process with no guesswork — most projects go from site visit to switch-on inside eight weeks.

01Day 1

Audit & site visit

We review your bills, measure your loads, and inspect the site — roof, DB board, cable runs.

02Week 1

Engineering & proposal

A system designed around your data, with exact equipment specs, yield estimates, and a clear price.

031 – 3 days on site

Installation

Our own electricians and installers do the work. No subcontractors, no shortcuts, clean cable management.

04Ongoing

Commissioning & monitoring

We test, hand over, and keep watching your system remotely — flagging issues before you notice them.
