Solar & EV Charging

Solar panel systems, hybrid inverters, and EV charging infrastructure for sustainable energy.

Solar Power & EV Charging Solutions in Kenya

Panel Tech Systems provides integrated solar energy and electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions for commercial and industrial clients in Kenya. We design, supply, and install complete systems that help businesses reduce energy costs and transition to clean power.

Solar Power Systems

Grid-Tied Systems — Generate solar power during the day and feed excess back to the grid
Hybrid Systems — Combine solar, battery storage, and grid power for maximum reliability
Off-Grid Systems — Complete standalone solar power for remote sites

We supply and install Tier-1 solar panels paired with premium inverters from SMA, Fronius, Huawei, and Growatt. Our systems range from 10kW commercial rooftop installations to 500kW+ industrial ground-mount systems.

EV Charging Infrastructure

As Kenya transitions to electric mobility, Panel Tech Systems is at the forefront of EV charging infrastructure:

AC Chargers (Level 2) — 7kW to 22kW for workplace and residential charging
DC Fast Chargers — 50kW to 150kW for commercial and public charging stations
Solar-Powered Charging — Integrated solar carports with EV charging points
Load Management — Smart charging systems that optimize energy consumption

Solar + EV Integration

Our integrated solutions combine rooftop or carport solar panels with EV charging stations, allowing businesses to charge electric vehicles with clean, self-generated power — reducing both energy costs and carbon emissions.

Frequently Asked Questions about Solar & EV Charging

A string inverter takes multiple PV modules in series (a "string") and converts the combined DC to AC at one inverter. A micro-inverter sits behind each individual module and produces AC directly. Micro-inverters are more module-independent (one bad module doesn't reduce the others' output) but cost more per kW. String inverters dominate commercial roofs; micro-inverters are popular on residential shaded roofs.

EPRA's net-metering framework allows generators up to 1 MW to export surplus generation to the grid. KPLC installs a bidirectional meter that records both import and export. The customer is credited at the prevailing tariff for export and pays the standard tariff for import; the bill nets the two. Approvals require EPRA-licensed installation and a signed grid-connection agreement.

Anti-islanding is the safety function that requires a solar inverter to disconnect from the grid within 2 seconds (per IEEE 1547) if the grid loses voltage. Without it, the inverter could energise a "dead" grid section, exposing utility crews to live conductors. All certified grid-tied inverters include anti-islanding as standard. Hybrid systems with island-mode capability include a transfer mechanism that allows continued operation off-grid.

Three common tiers: AC Level 2 (7–22 kW, suitable for workplace and overnight residential charging — typically 4–8 hours for a full charge); DC fast charging (50–150 kW, suitable for retail forecourts and service stations — 20–40 minutes for 80% charge); ultra-fast DC (150–350 kW, currently rare in Kenya but emerging for fleet depots). We supply all three with appropriate upstream switchgear and load management.

Yes — this is what a hybrid PV system does. A hybrid inverter (or a hybrid ATS with separate inverters) prioritises solar when available, charges a battery for evening use, falls back to grid when both are depleted, and starts a generator only as the last resort. Hybrid systems are increasingly the standard for new commercial installations with reliability or off-grid requirements.
