Inverter Charger and Battery Backup Installation Across Kenya
Masterpiece Systems Limited supplies and installs inverter charger and battery backup systems across Kenya for homes, offices, shops and commercial or industrial sites. Based in Nairobi, we conduct site surveys and carry out installations countrywide.
An inverter charger converts battery power into AC power for selected equipment during an outage and recharges the batteries when a suitable AC supply is available. Tell us which devices need to run together and how long you need backup power.
Site survey and installation fees may apply. We confirm applicable charges before booking.

The installed cost depends on inverter output, usable battery capacity, battery type and the circuits you want to back up. Cabling, protective devices, mounting and work at the distribution board can also affect the total. If you plan to add solar panels later, include that in your quotation request.
What to send for a quotation. Share your town or county, the equipment you need to run and your target backup time. Include wattage or nameplate photos where available. If you already have an inverter, batteries, solar panels, a UPS or a generator, send the relevant model numbers.
Which Inverter Backup Setup Fits Your Site?
The inverter’s output rating helps determine what the system can run at once. Usable battery energy and actual power draw help determine how long it can run. Refrigerators and pumps can draw more power at startup, so include them when listing the equipment you need to back up.
| Application | Typical loads | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Home battery backup | Selected lights, Wi-Fi routers, security equipment and refrigeration. | Circuits to back up, target runtime and appliance starting loads. |
| Office and retail backup | Computers, point-of-sale terminals, network equipment and selected lighting. | Which devices run together, which already use a UPS and how much interruption they can tolerate when switching to battery power. |
| Commercial and industrial backup | Selected controls, communications equipment and other essential loads. | Which circuits to separate for backup, phase requirements, starting demand and expected operating time. |
| Backup with solar charging | Selected circuits at sites where solar battery charging is planned. | Whether the inverter accepts solar input directly or requires a separate compatible solar charge controller. |
How Inverter Charger Installation Works
-
1. Review the Backup Load
Identify the circuits to back up, which devices run together and any equipment with a high starting load.
-
2. Survey the Site
Review equipment placement, existing power sources, cable routes and any distribution board work required.
-
3. Confirm the Equipment and Quotation
Review continuous output, surge capacity, battery voltage, usable battery energy and charger compatibility. Check the load assumptions used for the runtime estimate and which installation work is included.
-
4. Install, Test and Hand Over
We install the system within the agreed scope. Confirm the checks included for transfer to battery power, recharging and operation of the selected backup circuits.
Existing Inverter Systems and Battery Upgrades
If backup time has shortened or the inverter switches off under load, share the inverter and battery models, battery age, any fault messages and what was running at the time. This helps determine whether to assess the batteries, charging settings or connected load.
Before adding or replacing batteries, confirm that the proposed battery suits the inverter’s voltage and charging requirements. Check whether the inverter and battery management system need to communicate and whether the proposed models support that connection.
Inverter Charger Power Backup FAQs
How long will an inverter battery last during a blackout?
Runtime depends on usable battery energy, actual load and system losses. For example, 2 kWh of usable battery energy divided by a steady 500 W load gives a theoretical four hours before inverter losses. Actual runtime varies with battery condition, settings and changes in the load.
Can an inverter charger work without solar panels?
Yes. A compatible inverter charger can recharge batteries from an AC supply such as the grid. If you want to add solar charging later, confirm whether the proposed model accepts solar input or needs a separate charge controller.
Can I use an inverter charger for servers or sensitive equipment?
It depends on the inverter’s transfer time and what the connected equipment can tolerate. For servers or other loads that need power through the changeover, ask whether a compatible dedicated UPS should remain in the setup.
Do you install inverter backup systems outside Nairobi?
Yes. Masterpiece Systems Limited conducts site surveys and installs inverter charger and battery backup systems across Kenya. Survey and installation fees may apply depending on the location and project scope. We confirm applicable charges before booking.
