A family in Ongata Rongai, Kajiado County, installed a 4.8kW solar canopy system to replace their unreliable grid connection and costly diesel generator. With 3 children, daily use of fridge, TV, lights, and a water pump, their monthly KPLC bill averaged KES 12,000—and outages lasted 6–10 hours daily.
After researching local solar providers, they chose SkyGen following a site visit that confirmed their roof had full sun exposure and structural capacity for a ground-mounted canopy (to avoid roof modifications). The system includes:

• 16 x 300W monocrystalline panels
• 8kWh lithium battery bank
• 5kVA hybrid inverter
• Solar water pump for rooftop tank filling

Installation took 2 days. Within 3 weeks, their grid dependence dropped to zero during daylight, and backup power covered all critical loads at night. Monthly energy cost fell to KES 1,800 (only for minimal maintenance).
The homeowner shared: “Now my kids study under light every evening—and I no longer wake up to a silent fridge.”
