Why solar suits Nakuru County
- Pumping in daylight. Borehole and irrigation pumps can run while the sun is up, straight off the panels, which is the cheapest power you can use.
- Cool, bright highland days. Panels convert sunlight more efficiently when they are cool, so clear highland mornings are productive.
- Homes in growing estates with electric showers, water pumps and home offices see their bills climb every month. A 7.5 kWh system suits most families.
Things to plan for
- The long rains. Cloudier months produce less. We size against the cloudiest month rather than the annual average, and the inverter draws from Kenya Power automatically when the battery runs low.
- Pumps and motors. Motors draw several times their running power when they start. The inverter has to handle that surge, so tell us the pump rating at survey. Larger farm loads get a site-specific design through our consultancy service.
- Dust. Dry-season dust cuts output. Rinse the panels a few times a year, or let our maintenance plan handle it.

System prices are the same as everywhere in Kenya: KSh 289,000 (5 kWh), KSh 349,000 (7.5 kWh, our most popular), KSh 429,000 (10 kWh) and KSh 599,000 (15 kWh), installed, with a lithium battery and no VAT.

Common questions
Do you install solar in Nakuru and Naivasha?
Yes. We install across Nakuru County, including Nakuru city, Naivasha, Njoro, Molo and Gilgil. System prices are the same as in Nairobi; transport is quoted in writing at survey.
Can solar run a borehole pump in Nakuru?
Yes. Pumps are ideal for solar because they can run in daylight straight off the panels. The inverter must handle the pump's starting surge, so we size it from the pump rating at survey.
Does solar work during the long rains?
Yes, at reduced output. Panels work on daylight, not only direct sun. We size systems against the cloudiest month, and the inverter draws from Kenya Power automatically if the battery runs low.
