What to Consider in a Solar Installation
- Energy Needs Assessment: Understand your current and future electricity consumption. Prioritize which appliances you need powered during grid outages to size your system correctly.
- Site Suitability: Ensure ample roof space with minimal shading from trees or buildings. In Kenya, panels ideally face north or south for maximum sun exposure.
- System Type: Decide between off-grid (total independence with batteries), grid-tied (no batteries, connected to KPLC), or hybrid (best of both, with battery backup). This choice heavily impacts cost and reliability.
- Budget & ROI: Solar is an investment. While systems can range from KSh 100,000 to over KSh 800,000+, they offer significant long-term savings on electricity bills.
- Installer Expertise: Use certified professionals. Garblex Home Solutions provides qualified technicians and reliable warranties for both equipment and labor.
By carefully considering these factors, you can design the optimal solar energy system.
