5.0–5.5 Peak Sun Hours

Kenya sits on the equator, providing consistent high solar irradiance throughout the year. We size arrays with realistic 80% balance-of-system factors to protect your capacity during overcast seasons.

EPRA Electrical Compliance

All inverters, Type-2 surge protection devices, and AC/DC isolation switchgear meet Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) class standards for domestic and commercial safety.

6,000-Cycle LiFePO4 Chemistry

We exclusively deploy Tier-1 Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries that can discharge to 90% DoD daily for 10–15 years without degrading like old tubular lead-acid batteries.
