Why Invest in a 1.5kW Solar System?
Solar power is one of the smartest energy solutions for Kenyan households and businesses.
Here’s why investing in a 1.5kW system makes sense:
1. Save Money on Electricity Bills
With a solar system, you generate your own electricity, reducing your monthly bills. Over time, the savings can exceed the initial cost of the system.
2. Reliable Power During Blackouts
Kenya experiences occasional power outages, but with a solar battery included in the system, you’ll always have backup power for essentials.
3. Environmentally Friendly
Solar energy is clean and renewable, helping reduce pollution and protect the planet for future generations.
4. Low Maintenance Costs
The 1.5kW system from Solarman uses high-quality components like gel batteries, which require minimal maintenance and last longer.
How Does a 1.5kW Solar System Work?
The system works by capturing sunlight and converting it into usable energy.
Here’s how the components function together:
1. Solar Panels
The two 180W solar panels collect sunlight during the day and convert it into direct current (DC) electricity.
2. Inverter
The 1.5kW inverter converts the DC electricity into alternating current (AC), which is used by most household appliances.
3. Battery
The 100Ah gel battery stores the energy produced by the panels. This stored energy is used at night or during cloudy weather.
4. Mounting Structure
The mounting structure holds the solar panels securely in place and ensures they are angled correctly to capture the most sunlight.
At Solarman, we provide a complete setup to ensure your system runs efficiently and reliably.
