Solar Installation in Athi River: Key Components
To meet the client’s needs, Kawitek Solar designed a robust 5 kW solar power system using high-quality solar components. The installation included:
- 5 kW Deye hybrid inverter: This solar inverter features two MPPT trackers, a pure sine wave output, and a built-in transformer. It is grid-ready for future KPLC integration and includes a 5-year manufacturer warranty.
- 5 kWh Deye lithium-ion battery: This lithium battery delivers reliable backup power with a 90% depth of discharge and an estimated lifespan of up to 15 years. The battery is protected by a 10-year warranty, ensuring long-term performance and safety.
- 6 575 W Jinko solar panels: These monocrystalline solar panels are based on N-type technology for superior efficiency and durability. They come with a 25-year performance warranty, guaranteeing stable power output over the system’s lifetime.
The homeowner wanted a system that would easily integrate with the grid once KPLC becomes available.
Cost of Installing an Off-grid Solar System
Off-grid residential systems of this size typically range between KES 450,000 and 600,000. The actual cost depends on several factors including brand selection and warranty duration, mounting requirements, and location.
The Athi River installation fit within this price range and provided the homeowner with a reliable and scalable power solution.
