Hospitality Solar
Power your hotel sustainably — and profitably
Kenya's hospitality sector has high energy costs and an increasingly eco-conscious guest base. Solar lets you cut operating costs dramatically while marketing your property as sustainable. We've installed systems at hotels across the coast, Nairobi, and the Rift Valley.
Solar Applications in Hospitality
Every part of your property can run on solar
Solar Water Heating
Hot water is a major energy cost for hotels. Solar water heaters can cover 70–100% of your hot water demand using free solar energy.
Kitchen & Laundry
Power your kitchen equipment, laundry machines, and back-of-house operations. Solar significantly reduces the load on expensive diesel generators.
Guest Rooms & Common Areas
Lighting, air conditioning, TV, and charging points across your rooms and facilities — all powered by clean solar energy.
Generator Replacement
Diesel generators are expensive and unreliable. A properly sized solar + battery system can replace or dramatically reduce your generator run time.
