Households and businesses are paying more for electricity than ever and outages still arrive without warning, cutting Wi-Fi, stopping fridges and sending offices home early, which is why solar installation in Nairobi is on so many owners' minds. It tackles both problems: lower daytime bills from your own roof and backup for the essentials when the grid fails.

Nerpax Systems designs solar systems across Nairobi County for homes in suburbs such as Karen, Langata and Runda, apartment blocks in Kasarani and Embakasi, offices and shops, schools and warehouses. We start from your real usage, reviewing bills or token history and the appliances that matter, then check roof space, orientation and shading from nearby buildings. From there we size panels, inverter and batteries.

Serving Nairobi

Nairobi packs almost every kind of property into one county: office towers in the CBD and Upper Hill, apartment blocks in Kilimani and along Thika Road, leafy compounds in Karen and Runda, and busy industrial yards off Mombasa Road and in Industrial Area. Each brings its own worries. Landlords need intercoms, access control and CCTV covering shared entrances, businesses want cameras they can check from a phone, and homeowners want gates, fences and alarms that work when the area loses power. Frequent KPLC interruptions also make UPS units, inverters and generator changeovers a common request. Nerpax Systems serves the whole county with supply, installation and delivery.

Solar Installation in Nairobi: FAQs

Can I install solar on an apartment in Nairobi?

It depends on roof access. In apartment blocks, solar is usually installed by the landlord or management for common areas, pumps and lighting. Individual tenants may manage a small backup system with batteries charged from the grid. We advise on what is practical for your building.

Will tall buildings around my Nairobi home affect solar output?

Shading from nearby buildings or trees reduces output, especially at certain times of day. During the survey we check shading across the roof and position panels where they get the most sun. Where shading is unavoidable, we size the system to account for it.

Can solar keep my Nairobi office running during an outage?

Yes, with a hybrid inverter and batteries. We identify critical loads such as computers, Wi-Fi, lighting and servers, and size batteries to keep them running for an agreed number of hours. Heavy loads like air conditioning can be left on the grid to keep costs sensible.
