🔧 Solar Panel Installation in Nairobi: What You Need to Know
As more Nairobi residents look for sustainable and cost-effective energy solutions, solar panel installation has become a popular option. But before making the switch, there are several important things you should know about the process, requirements, and benefits. At Ecoverse Solutions Limited, we simplify solar energy for homeowners and businesses across Kenya. Whether you’re going solar for the first time or upgrading an existing system, this guide will walk you through what to expect.
🌞 Why Nairobi Is Perfect for Solar Energy
Nairobi receives an average of 5 to 7 hours of sunshine daily, making it an ideal location for solar power generation. Even during the rainy season, high-efficiency solar panels can still generate significant power, especially when installed correctly by professionals.
