A family in Kitengela installed a Seven SS Stars solar thermal water heater to replace their electric geyser—and cut hot water costs by 95%. Before solar, they spent KES 4,200 monthly on electricity just for showers and laundry, with frequent outages leaving them without hot water for days.
The system includes:
- 30-tube evacuated collector (2.4m² aperture)
- 300L stainless steel storage tank
- Automatic backup electric element (only activates when solar is insufficient)
- Roof-mounted on a south-facing slope for max sun exposure
Installation took 6 hours. Within one week:
✓ Water heats to 65°C daily—even on cloudy days
✓ Electric backup used only 2–3 days/month
✓ Monthly hot water cost dropped to KES 280
The homeowner said: “My kids now shower warm every morning—and my electricity bill shows it.”
