Published price guide · 2026

Solar installation cost in Kenya

These are costs from projects of the type we build, quoted with the annual saving and payback alongside — because a solar price means nothing without them.

Every figure below is already published on our solar engineering page. We put it here so it can be found by the question you actually asked.

Solar installation cost in Kenya — indicative ranges in Kenyan shillings
ItemPrice rangeTypical use
Solar supply and installation — overall rangeKES 120,000 – 15,000,000+Small domestic systems through to commercial arrays
5 kWp residential rooftop, no batteryCommon choiceKES 600,000 – 800,000Saves ≈ KES 120,000 a year · 5–6 year payback. Self-consumption only
10 kWh battery retrofit to an existing grid-tied arrayKES 700,000 – 1,100,000Evening self-consumption and diesel displaced during outages
20 kWp + 30 kWh battery — small officeKES 3,500,000 – 4,500,000Saves ≈ KES 720,000 a year · 5 year payback. Replaces ~70% of utility and diesel
500 kWp commercial rooftop — supermarketKES 45,000,000 – 55,000,000Saves ≈ KES 11,000,000 a year · 4–5 year payback. Demand-charge reduction is key
5 MWp ground-mount IPPKES 450,000,000 – 550,000,000PPA-driven · 6–8 year payback

What moves the price

  • Battery or no battery. Storage is typically the single largest line, and a grid-tied array without it is far cheaper.
  • Roof type and access. Sheet, tile and concrete each need different mounting, and a difficult roof adds labour.
  • Panel temperature. Modules lose roughly 0.3–0.4% per °C above their 25 °C test condition, so a hot site needs more array for the same yield.
  • Net metering. Where it applies, payback shortens materially.

What the figure excludes

  • Roof strengthening where a structural survey requires it
  • Utility application fees and net-metering approval
  • Generator or changeover integration where the site has one
  • Figures are ex-VAT unless stated. Kenyan VAT is 16%, so a KES 600,000 quotation is KES 696,000 payable.

A range is honest but it is not a quotation. Tell us the load and the location and you get a specific number, from an engineer, not a call centre.
