Kawitek Solar recently installed an 8 kW solar power system for a homeowner in Murera, Ruiru. Since the home was not connected to the national grid, the client needed a reliable solution for all household appliances and a small home office.
The system was designed to support daily energy needs while offering future integration with KPLC once the grid becomes available. The client also wanted a scalable setup that could expand easily as energy demands increased.
For water heating, we advised the homeowner to install a solar water heater to reduce the load on the photovoltaic system.
Solar Installation in Murera, Ruiru: Site Assessment
Before installation, our team carried out a detailed site survey in Murera. The assessment helped us understand the client’s energy usage and the correct system size.
We designed the system to power essential household appliances and office equipment required for daily operation. The loads included:
- Indoor lighting
- Security lighting
- Television and home theater
- 2 refrigerator and a freezer
- WiFi router and repeaters
- Water booster pump
- Washing machine
- Small home office
- Home aquarium
Since the home had no grid connection, all essential loads were fully supported by the solar system.

Kawitek Solar selected efficient and durable solar components to meet the homeowner’s long term energy needs. Each item was chosen for reliability and future expansion.

We designed the system for full off grid operation while allowing easy expansion and future KPLC integration.
Cost of Installing a Hybrid Solar System
Solar power systems of this size usually range between KES 650,000 and 900,000. The final cost depends on brand selection, warranty length, and installation conditions. The Murera project fell within this price range and delivered a dependable and scalable power solution for the homeowner.
