A 6-unit residential complex in Kahawa Sukari faced daily 4–7 hour blackouts, forcing residents to rely on noisy, costly diesel generators. With rising fuel prices and frequent equipment failures, the landlord sought a permanent solution.
SkyGen installed a 7.5kW hybrid inverter system (CanadianSolar) with:
- 20 x 375W monocrystalline panels
- 10kWh lithium battery bank
- Smart load management for shared common areas and individual units
Our technicians integrated the inverter into the existing distribution board—ensuring seamless switching between solar, battery, and grid without rewiring. The system now powers:
✓ Lifts and security lighting (critical loads)
✓ Water pumps for rooftop tanks
✓ Common area sockets and Wi-Fi routers
✓ Backup for individual unit outlets during outages
Installation took 1 day. Since commissioning:
• Grid dependence reduced by 90%
• Monthly energy cost dropped from KES 32,000 to KES 4,500
• Zero generator use during daylight and 6+ hours at night
The property manager noted: “Residents no longer complain about outages—and maintenance calls have halved.”
