Solar Installation in Kisumu

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

What we install in Kisumu

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

Western Kenya has strong irradiance and a pronounced wet season, and the design consequence is that storage sizing carries more weight here than in the drier parts of the country. A system sized on dry-season generation will disappoint during the long rains; the reserve has to be planned for the worse case rather than the average.

We have completed installations across the region, including sites on the Lodwar corridor and in the north, so equipment and crews reach the west as a matter of routine rather than as an exception.

Areas covered

Milimani, Tom Mboya Estate, Mamboleo, Riat, Kondele, Ahero, Maseno and Bondo, and the wider Kisumu 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.
