Solar Installation in Eldoret

Magna Solar designs, supplies and installs solar power systems in Eldoret and the surrounding area as an EPRA-licensed contractor. Site surveys are free.

What we install in Eldoret

Grid-tied, hybrid and off-grid systems for homes, businesses, farms and institutions: rooftop and ground-mounted arrays, battery storage, solar water pumping, and maintenance on systems we did not install. We also carry out the electrical work to the standard EPRA requires, including protection, isolation and earthing, which is the part of a solar installation most often done badly.

Local conditions that change the design

The North Rift sits at altitude, and altitude is quietly good for solar: cooler ambient temperatures mean cooler cells, and panel output improves as cell temperature falls. An array in Eldoret will commonly out-perform an identical array at the coast on the same irradiance.

The counterpart is that the region gets serious storms. Mounting structures need to be specified and fixed for wind uplift rather than for weight alone, and surge protection on both the DC and AC sides is not optional where lightning activity is high.

Areas covered

Eldoret Town, Kapsabet, Iten, Turbo, Kesses and Moiben, and the wider Uasin Gishu County area.

How a job runs

A survey establishes consumption from your KPLC bills, measures the roof or ground area available and identifies shading through the day. From that we issue a specification and a fixed quote. On acceptance, a residential installation is typically three to five working days on site, ending with commissioning, testing and handover documentation. Grid-connected systems seeking net metering carry a longer administrative process with KPLC after commissioning.
