Solar Power for Homes, Businesses and Industrial Sites
Masterpiece Systems Limited supplies and installs residential and commercial solar power systems across Kenya. Based in Nairobi, we conduct site surveys and carry out installations countrywide for homes, commercial properties and industrial sites.
Tell us whether you want to use solar power during the day, keep selected equipment running during outages or do both. We can assess rooftop or ground-mounted solar PV, hybrid and off-grid systems, and battery storage for new or existing installations.
Site survey and installation fees may apply. We confirm applicable charges before booking.

The installed cost depends on panel capacity, inverter output, usable battery capacity and the electrical work required. Roof or ground mounting, cable routes, site access and commissioning can affect the total. Ask for equipment, installation and any ongoing monitoring or maintenance costs to be itemised.
What to send for a quotation. Share your town or county, a recent electricity bill, typical operating hours and site photos if available. For battery backup, list the equipment you need to run and your target runtime. Include model numbers for any panels, inverters, batteries or generators you want to retain.
Which Solar Power System Fits Your Property?
Compare when you use electricity, which circuits need backup and how much space is available for panels. A home that uses most of its electricity in the evening and a business that operates during the day can need different systems even when their monthly consumption is similar.
| System | Common use | What to check |
|---|---|---|
| Residential hybrid solar | Use solar during the day and store energy for selected home circuits. | Daytime and evening use, roof space, essential circuits and target backup hours. |
| Commercial grid-tied solar PV | Offset daytime grid use at offices, shops and other business premises. | Daytime demand, roof suitability and how the system will handle surplus generation. |
| Commercial and industrial solar PV plant | Assess a larger rooftop or ground-mounted project for a factory, warehouse or campus. | Site load profile, available roof or land area, electrical connection and project feasibility. |
| Solar battery storage | Store solar energy for later use or back up selected equipment during outages. | Usable battery capacity, discharge power, inverter compatibility and recharge time. |
| Off-grid solar | Supply a property without a grid connection. | Daily electricity use, seasonal solar production, battery capacity and any secondary power source needed. |
Commercial and Industrial Solar PV Project Planning
For a factory, warehouse or commercial building, share electricity bills, operating schedules and interval meter data if available. These show how much electricity the site uses while the panels are generating. For a larger solar PV project, identify whether the system is intended mainly for on-site use or whether the proposal also needs to consider grid export.
If grid export is part of the proposal, confirm eligibility, connection requirements and any applicable net-metering or other export terms with your electricity provider before including export benefits in the financial estimate.
How Solar Installation Works
-
1. Review Your Electricity Use
Share when the property uses electricity, what you want solar to cover and which equipment needs backup.
-
2. Survey the Property
The survey can review available mounting space, shading, equipment locations and the existing electrical setup.
-
3. Confirm the Design and Quotation
Review panel and inverter capacity, usable battery capacity where applicable, backup circuits and installation costs. Agree on who will handle any applicable approvals.
-
4. Install, Test and Hand Over
We install and test the system within the agreed scope. Confirm the documentation, equipment warranty terms, monitoring setup and any maintenance visits included in the quotation.
Residential and Commercial Solar FAQs
Will solar panels power my property during a blackout?
A standard grid-tied solar system normally shuts down when the grid goes offline. If you need outage backup, ask for a compatible backup configuration and specify which circuits you want to run and for how long.
How much can I save with solar power?
Savings depend on how much grid electricity the system replaces, your tariff and system costs. Ask for an estimate based on your electricity bills and usage profile, with the assumptions stated.
Can I add batteries to an existing solar system?
It may be possible. Share your inverter model, current system configuration and backup requirements so battery compatibility and any additional equipment can be assessed.
Do you conduct solar site surveys and installations outside Nairobi?
Yes. Masterpiece Systems Limited conducts solar site surveys and installations across Kenya. Survey and installation fees may apply depending on the location and project scope. We confirm applicable charges before booking.
