🔍 Solar Energy Information for Kenya

☀️ Solar Potential in Kenya

Kenya receives 4-6 kWh/m²/day of solar irradiance, making it ideal for solar energy. Most regions have over 300 sunny days per year.

💡 Net Metering in Kenya

KPLC allows net metering for systems up to 1MW. Excess power can be fed back to the grid, earning credits on your electricity bill.

🏛️ Government Incentives

Solar equipment attracts 0% VAT and reduced import duty. The government promotes renewable energy through various incentive programs.

💰 Typical System Costs

Residential: KES 180,000-250,000 per kW
Commercial: KES 150,000-200,000 per kW
Industrial: KES 120,000-180,000 per kW

📈 Electricity Tariff Trends

KPLC tariffs have increased by 8-12% annually. Solar provides protection against future electricity price increases.
