Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: How long does it take to install a power backup system in Nairobi?

A: Installation time varies by system size:

Small home systems (1-3 kVA): 1-2 days
Medium systems (3-10 kVA): 2-4 days
Large commercial systems (10+ kVA): 5-10 days

We work efficiently to minimize disruption to your daily activities.

Q: Do I need a generator if I have a battery backup system?

A: Not necessarily. For most residential and small commercial applications, a well-sized battery backup system is sufficient. However, for very large power requirements or extended outages (beyond 12-24 hours), a generator can complement your battery system. We offer hybrid solutions that combine both for optimal reliability.

Q: How long do backup batteries last?

A: Battery lifespan depends on type and maintenance:

Lead-acid batteries: 3-5 years (with proper maintenance)
Gel batteries: 5-7 years
Lithium batteries: 10-15 years

Regular maintenance and proper usage can extend battery life significantly.

Q: Can I add more batteries to my system later?

A: Yes! Our systems are designed to be scalable. You can start with a basic system and expand battery capacity as your needs grow or budget allows. We recommend planning for future expansion during the initial design phase.

Q: Is a solar battery system worth it in Nairobi?

A: Absolutely. Nairobi receives an average of 6-8 hours of sunshine daily, making solar an excellent investment. With a solar battery system, you can:

Reduce your Kenya Power bill by 50-90%
Gain independence from grid outages
Increase your property value
Contribute to a cleaner environment

Most clients recoup their investment in 3-5 years through energy savings.

Q: What warranty do you offer on your installations?

A: We provide comprehensive warranties:

Batteries: 1-5 years (depending on brand and type)
Inverters: 2-5 years
Solar panels: 10-25 years (performance warranty)
Workmanship: 1 year on installation

Extended warranty options are available for commercial systems.
