What You Need to Know About Solar in Kenya
Over the years, the cost of doing business has gone up, thus affecting business operations.
Particularly, business operations in Kenya are greatly affected by the high electricity costs
and grid power unreliability.
With the current increased business risk due to the Covid-19 pandemic, more and more
businesses are turning to alternative energy sources to reduce their power cost. With the
guarantee of efficiency and affordability that comes with solar energy, many business
owners are keen on learning more about solar energy.
Why You Should Go Solar in Kenya?
Harnessing the power of the sun to power your business comes with many benefits:
1. Affordable
Compared to the average electricity prices globally, businesses in Kenya pay approximately
Ksh 6 more per kWh. In order to save on electricity costs, solar energy makes business
sense, especially with the price of solar panels having decreased over the past years.
Additionally, with a lease-to-own deal, businesses have only minimal up-front cost and will
own the solar farm at the end of the lease period.
2. Clean
Climate change is the key challenge of our generation. Customers, financiers, and other
stakeholders require businesses to do their part. As more businesses transition to clean
energy, the adverse effects of climate change will slow down, positively impacting the
environment. With solar, provided on a lease-to-own basis, businesses can optimize their
carbon footprint, and, at the same time, optimize their cash flow.
3. Reliable
Power quality and reliability are important drivers of predictable, profitable business
operations. In Kenya, unexpected power cuts, voltage drops, and frequency fluctuations
have wide-ranging negative effects on operational performance. Solar energy, when
combined with energy storage solutions improves power quality and reliability, thus
improving business operational performance and profitability.
In short, solar provides a valuable, business-savvy solution to the increasing cost of doing
business in Kenya, especially by providing affordable, clean, and reliable power for
business.
