Commercial Solar

Solar built for Kenyan business performance

Reduce your largest operating expense, protect against grid unreliability, and achieve payback in as little as 2–4 years. We design and install commercial solar systems from 5kW to 500kW+.

Why Businesses Go Solar

The commercial solar case in Kenya has never been stronger

Dramatically Lower Operating Costs

Electricity is one of the biggest operating expenses for Kenyan businesses. Commercial solar cuts this cost by 60–80%, with payback periods as short as 2–4 years for high-consumption sites.

Protection Against Grid Unreliability

Load shedding and grid outages cost businesses billions annually. Battery-backed solar keeps your operations running when KPLC can't.

Strong Financial Returns

Commercial solar investments typically deliver 20–30% IRR over 25 years — better than most alternative investments for a business.

Sustainability Credentials

Customers, investors, and supply chain partners increasingly expect businesses to demonstrate environmental responsibility. Solar is a visible, measurable commitment.

Sectors We Serve

Solar works for almost every business type

If you have a roof, car park, or open space — and you pay electricity bills — we can likely build a compelling financial case for solar. Here are the sectors we work with most:

  • Office buildings and business parks
  • Manufacturing facilities and warehouses
  • Retail shops and supermarkets
  • Schools, universities, and colleges
  • Hospitals and clinics
