Solar Backup System Price in Kenya (2026): Inverter Kits, Panels, Batteries and Sizing

Power cuts stop shops, offices and homes. A solar backup system charges batteries from the sun (and the grid) and keeps lights, Wi-Fi, TVs and tills running. Here is how it works and how to size one, with kits on Buy More Mall from KABIX Technical Solutions.

How a Solar Backup System Works

1. Solar panels turn sunlight into DC power.
2. A charge controller charges the batteries safely.
3. The inverter turns battery power into normal 240 V AC for your appliances.
4. Many inverters also charge from the grid and switch over automatically when power goes off.

How to Size Your System

1. List the appliances you want on backup and their watts.
2. Add them up: the total sets the inverter size (choose one comfortably above it).
3. Multiply each appliance's watts by the hours you need it during an outage: the total watt-hours sets the battery capacity.
4. Size the panels to recharge the batteries in the hours of sun you get.

Figures are an illustration; use your own appliance labels. Fridges, pumps and irons need much bigger systems; motors draw extra power when starting.

Solar or Generator?

Solar backup is silent and has no fuel bill; a generator covers big loads like pumps and welders. Many businesses use both. See Generator and Solar Water Pump Price.
