Are you looking to reduce your electricity bills and switch to clean, renewable energy? Our Solar Power Calculator helps you estimate the ideal solar system size for your home and the potential savings you could achieve.
Simply enter your current electricity consumption and property details, and our calculator will provide you with:
Get started below to discover how much you could save with solar power. Our calculations are based on Kenya’s solar radiation data and current electricity rates to provide you with accurate estimates.
Calculate your potential solar savings based on your energy usage in Kenya
Save up to 70% on your monthly electricity costs. Our calculator shows you exactly how much you could save based on your current consumption patterns and Kenya Power rates.
Free yourself from power outages and grid dependence. Calculate the right battery storage capacity to keep your home or business running 24/7, even during blackouts.
See your exact return on investment timeline. Most Kenyan homeowners recover their solar investment within 3-5 years, with 20+ years of continued savings afterward.
Understand your environmental contribution. Our calculator shows how many trees worth of CO2 you'll offset annually by switching to solar power.
Get a personalized solar system recommendation based on your specific needs, roof space, and budget. No more guesswork about what system size is right for you.
Solar panels typically last 25-30 years with proper maintenance. In Kenya’s climate, they maintain about 80% of their original efficiency even after 25 years of use.
Yes, solar panels still generate electricity during cloudy weather, though at reduced efficiency (about 10-25% of their peak output). Kenya’s abundant sunshine means your system will produce excess power on sunny days to compensate.
Solar panels need minimal maintenance – mainly keeping them clean from dust and debris. We recommend cleaning them every 3-4 months during dry seasons and checking connections annually.
A typical residential installation takes 2-3 days: 1 day for mounting brackets and panel installation, and 1-2 days for electrical work and system testing.
The process includes: site assessment, roof preparation, mounting system installation, panel placement, inverter installation, battery setup (if chosen), and final system testing and grid connection.
Our calculator uses current Kenya Power rates and your actual consumption data, providing estimates that are typically within 10% of actual savings. Factors like seasonal variations and future rate changes may impact final savings.
Most residential solar systems in Kenya achieve payback within 3-5 years, depending on your energy consumption and system size. Our calculator shows your specific break-even timeline based on your usage patterns.
Key factors include: your current electricity consumption, roof orientation and shading, system size, battery storage capacity, and local sunshine hours. The calculator accounts for all these variables in its savings estimate.
Start by entering your average monthly electricity consumption in kWh and your current bill amount. You can find this information on your Kenya Power bill. Also tell us about your property - the roof space available and your location in Kenya. This helps us calculate your solar potential accurately.
Our calculator processes your information using real Kenya solar radiation data and current electricity rates. It analyzes multiple factors including your consumption patterns, local sunshine hours, and optimal panel positioning to determine the ideal system size. You'll see a detailed breakdown of recommended solar panels and battery capacity.
Review your personalized solar power report. See your potential monthly and annual savings, total investment required, and payback period. We'll show you both the financial benefits and environmental impact of your solar system. Use these insights to make an informed decision about going solar.
