Installation & Maintenance Protocol
Phase 1: Energy Audit
- Load profiling (day/night usage patterns)
- Shading analysis via drone mapping
Phase 2: Precision Installation
- KEBS/ERC-compliant mounting structures
- Lightning arrestors + surge protection (critical in Nairobi thunderstorms)
Phase 3: Grid Integration
- KPLC net metering paperwork processing
- Synchronization testing with Kenya Power infrastructure
Phase 4: Proactive Maintenance
- Bi-annual panel cleaning + IV curve testing
- Battery health checks (state-of-charge calibration)
- 24/7 remote monitoring portal access
FAQs
Q: Will solar work during rainy season?
A: Optimized performance via:
- Oversized arrays (20% beyond peak load)
- Weather-based algorithms prioritizing battery reserve
- Generator auto-start during 3+ cloudy days
Q: How long until ROI in Nairobi?
A: Typical payback periods:
- Homes: 3–4 years (vs. KPLC’s KSh 35/kWh tariffs)
