Experience with Solar project in Kenya
by William Muriithi 11 Feb '19

11 Feb '19

Hello, I am looking into setting up a 3 kwh solar project and have done a bit of investigation but was wondering if there is someone here who have gone through this path before and would be willing to comment. Essentially, trying to compare notes for spending. Curious with some of this details: - About how much did the project cost for 2kwh or 3 kwh system? - Did you buy the hardware locally or imported the stuff? If local, where did you buy them in Kenya? - What brand of inverter did you end up using? Anyway, any details you would have and willing to share would be highly appreciated. Regards, Muriithi
