Let’s get started right away!

1️⃣ Why Go Solar?

Electricity is becoming more expensive and unreliable in many parts of Kenya. Solar helps you to:

• Reduce your monthly electricity bills
• Avoid frustration caused by blackouts
• Power homes and businesses where grid is weak or unavailable
• Reduce generator fuel & maintenance costs
• Enjoy clean, dependable energy

However, solar is not a “one size fits all”. The right solution depends on your situation, your appliances, and what you want solar to do for you. This guide helps you make that decision quickly and confidently.

2️⃣ Start Here: What Do You Want Solar to Do?

Most people come to us with one of these goals. Which one sounds like you?

🔹 Option A — Reduce Electricity Bills

You already have grid power but want to cut costs. Solar runs most appliances while the grid only supports heavier loads like cookers & instant showers. Expect 50% – 90% bill reduction depending on setup.

🔹 Option B — Reliable Backup Power

You mainly want to stay powered during outages, so your home or business keeps running. Solar + batteries provide seamless automatic backup.

🔹 Option C — Off‑Grid / No Grid

Your premises have no grid power or getting connected is too expensive. Solar becomes your primary power source, designed to run efficiently day & night.

👉 Whichever group you fall into, we design a solution specifically for you.

3️⃣ What Determines Cost?

Solar cost varies because every home or business is different. The main factors are:

1️⃣ How much power you use daily (lights, fridge, TV, pumps, business machines etc.)

2️⃣ How much of that power you want solar to cover – 100% (full independence) – 70–80% (most cost‑effective for homes) – Backup only

3️⃣ Battery Type & Size – Lithium batteries now very cost effective and offer a longer lifespan compared to lead-acid batteries.  Note: It’s solar batteries, not car batteries!

4️⃣ Quality of Equipment & Installation – Good brands can last 10–25 years if properly installed and maintained – Poor systems fail early and cost more long‑term

4️⃣ Simple Ways to Estimate Your System Size

You don’t need engineering knowledge. Here are quick ways to estimate:

✔ Method 1 — Your Electricity Bill

If your monthly bill is around KES 5,000, your daily consumption is roughly 5–7 units (kWh). If your bill is KES 12,000, your daily usage is typically 12–14 units (kWh)

Most Kenyan homes only need solar to cover 70–80% of this to get great savings.

✔ Method 2 — Based on Appliances

Think about what you want on solar: – Lights, TV, laptops, fridge —
✔ Easy, affordable – Pumps, washing machine—
✔ Doable with good sizing – Electric cooker & instant shower —
❌ Very expensive to run on solar (better left on grid)

👉 If you’re unsure, we will help you calculate accurately.

5️⃣ Typical System Levels & Price Guide (Indicative)

Prices vary with brand & exact specification, but this range helps you plan.

💬 Note: We design each system based on your real usage, so you don’t overpay or undersize.

6️⃣ Backup vs Full Solar — What Should You Choose?

✔ If your main pain is blackouts:

Choose Backup / Hybrid Solar System – Keeps essential loads running during outages – Automatically switches when grid fails – Affordable and practical

✔ If your main pain is high electricity bills:

Choose Bill‑Reduction Solar System – Runs most daily loads – Grid supports heavy appliances – Saves 50%–80% of your monthly bill

✔ If you’re off‑grid:

Choose Fully Off‑Grid Solar System – Runs essential and priority loads 24/7 – Designed around battery storage efficiency

We will guide you honestly depending on your situation.

7️⃣ Why Many Solar Systems Fail

Unfortunately, some systems fail because of:

❌ Wrong sizing

❌ Cheap low‑quality equipment

❌ Poor installation & wiring

❌ Using car batteries instead of solar batteries

At Ecolink Power Systems, we focus on:

✔ Correct design

✔ Good brands

✔ Professional installation

✔ Honest guidance

This ensures your system performs as expected and lasts long.
