Find quick answers to the most common questions about Plasma Solar – Affordable Solar Panels & Installation in Kenya | Reduce Your KPLC Bills
Switching to solar in Kenya helps you cut high KPLC bills, avoid frequent blackouts, and enjoy clean, renewable energy. With rising electricity tariffs and fuel costs, solar offers long-term savings. Plasma Solar provides A-class quality solar panels, inverters, and batteries at competitive prices, making it possible to go green without compromising on performance.
Solar panels use photovoltaic (PV) cells to capture sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity. An inverter then converts this into alternating current (AC), which powers your home or business. Plasma Solar systems include high-efficiency panels and reliable inverters from global brands to maximize your energy output.
The cost depends on the system size and whether you need battery backup.
A basic 3kW grid-tied system can start from KES 150,000A 5kW hybrid system with batteries can cost from KES 450,000 – 600,000.

If your system is sized to match your energy use, yes—especially with net metering or battery storage. Some customers even have zero KPLC bills most months.
Net metering lets you sell excess solar power back to KPLC, earning credits to offset your future bills. In Kenya, the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) has approved net metering regulations, but they are still being rolled out. Plasma Solar will advise you on the latest requirements.
