Recently, nationwide blackouts have become the norm rather than the exception. The last blackout probably had you asking if there are any affordable solar inverters in Kenya. The quick answer is yes, and the best options are listed in this article.

The Best Solar Inverter for Smaller Homes

First off is the Sun King PowerPlay Pro, which is both affordable and portable. The PowerPlay Pro provides 600 W of power, which is enough to run essential appliances like laptops, televisions, lightbulbs, and energy-efficient refrigerators. It also has an 800 Wh LFP battery that can last up to 10 years, and it comes with USB-A and USB-C ports for charging phones and laptops. It’s a great solar inverter for homes with 3 bedrooms or more.

Currently selling at a price of Ksh. 69,500*, this solar inverter is great value for money. Sun King also allows a payment plan that lets owners pay in instalments. For those who want to lipa pole pole, you simply have to make a down payment of Ksh. 7000 to get the unit. Afterwards, you will make weekly payments of Ksh. 1,045, which can be sent through M-PESA, or paid in cash.

As a hybrid solar inverter, the PowerPlay Pro can be charged using regular electricity (the grid system) or its own solar panel. The entire system has 3 main components;

• The solar panel captures the energy of sunlight hitting your roof.
• The inverter turns this energy into AC electricity. The electricity is used to power appliances connected to the PowerPlay.
• The battery stores both grid- and solar-generated energy to keep appliances running at night or when the electrical grid is unavailable.
