The primary benefits include a drastic reduction in monthly electricity bills and total independence from an unstable national grid. In Kenya, the high solar irradiance allows homeowners to generate substantial power, which, when coupled with energy storage, ensures a constant power supply for lighting, cooling, and appliances, regardless of external grid failures or rising tariffs.
How do I determine the right size for a home solar system based on my needs?
Sizing requires an audit of your total daily kilowatt-hour (kWh) consumption. You must list all appliances, their wattage, and hours of use. For Kenyan homes, we also factor in "autonomy days"—the number of days the system must run on battery alone during rainy seasons. This ensures your battery bank and panel array are balanced to prevent power shortages during low-sun periods.
Is an off grid solar system more expensive than a grid-tied one?
Yes, the initial investment is typically higher because off-grid systems require a significant battery bank and more powerful inverters to manage the entire load. However, for users in areas with poor grid infrastructure, the value is higher because it eliminates the cost of diesel generators and the economic loss associated with power outages, leading to a more stable long-term ROI.
