A family of five in Ruiru installed a 5.4kW solar system on their traditional terracotta-tiled roof—proving that solar works even on older, non-metal roofs. They previously spent KES 14,000 monthly on electricity and endured 5–8 hour daily blackouts, disrupting work-from-home routines and children’s online learning.
SkyGen used lightweight aluminum rails with tile hooks—no drilling into tiles—to mount 18 x 300W monocrystalline panels. The system includes:
- 5.4kW solar array
- 6kWh lithium battery
- 6kVA hybrid inverter with app-based monitoring
Installation took 1.5 days. Key outcomes after 4 months:
✓ 92% reduction in grid consumption
✓ Full power during 6-hour outages (lights, fridge, Wi-Fi, TV)
✓ KES 12,600 saved monthly
The homeowner shared: “My daughter now joins her virtual classes without fear of the lights going off. And I no longer dread the bill.”
