Solar Systems Designed Around Your Energy Needs

Bekim Lumisolar Energy Limited provides professional solar system sizing and installation in Nairobi and across Kenya.

We assess your energy requirements, analyse your loads and design a solar system with the appropriate combination of solar panels, inverter, battery storage and protection equipment.

Our approach is to size the system according to the customer's actual energy requirements rather than simply matching solar panel capacity to the inverter rating.

Solar System Sizing in Nairobi

A properly sized solar system starts with understanding how much energy you use and when you use it.

Electrical Loads

We assess the appliances, equipment and electrical loads that the system needs to support.

Energy Consumption

Daily energy consumption and expected operating hours help determine the required system capacity.

Peak Power Demand

We consider continuous and peak loads when selecting the appropriate inverter capacity.

Backup Requirements

Required backup duration and nighttime usage help determine the appropriate battery capacity.

Solar Resource

Available sunlight, installation space and expected energy production are considered during system design.

Inverter & MPPT Requirements

PV voltage, current and MPPT operating requirements are considered when configuring the solar array.

Future Expansion

Where possible, we consider future load growth and system expansion requirements.

Grid Availability

Existing grid or generator supply is considered where the system requires integration with other power sources.

Professional Solar System Design

We design solar systems for different applications based on the customer's energy requirements and power needs.

Hybrid Solar Systems

Hybrid systems combine solar power, battery storage and grid or generator supply where required. They can provide backup power while reducing reliance on grid electricity.

Off-Grid Solar Systems

Off-grid systems are designed for applications where grid electricity is unavailable or unreliable. System capacity is based on the required loads, available solar energy and battery storage.

Grid-Tied Solar Systems

Grid-connected solar systems can use solar energy during the day while working with the utility supply according to the system design and applicable requirements.

Solar Backup Systems

We design backup systems for homes, offices, shops, businesses and other applications requiring reliable power during electricity interruptions.

Panel, Inverter & Battery Sizing

Each major component is selected according to the requirements of the complete system.

Solar Panel Sizing

The number and capacity of solar panels depend on energy requirements, available sunlight, system losses, inverter specifications and installation space.

  • Total PV capacity
  • Panel voltage and current
  • Series and parallel configuration
  • MPPT operating range
  • Maximum PV input voltage and current
  • Roof or ground mounting space
  • Expected daily energy production

The solar panels do not necessarily have to have the same wattage as the inverter. The PV array is designed according to the inverter specifications and energy requirements of the system.

Inverter Selection

We select the inverter according to the intended application and electrical load.

  • Continuous load
  • Peak and surge load
  • Battery voltage
  • PV input requirements
  • MPPT capacity
  • Backup functionality
  • Grid availability
  • Generator integration where required
  • Future expansion

We work with a range of hybrid, off-grid and solar inverter systems.

Battery Sizing & Energy Storage

Battery capacity is important where backup power or nighttime operation is required.

  • Daily energy requirement
  • Required backup duration
  • Battery chemistry
  • Usable battery capacity
  • Depth of discharge
  • Inverter efficiency
  • Charging and discharge current
  • Future capacity requirements

We work with lithium and gel batteries depending on the application and system requirements.

Our Solar Installation Process

From the initial energy assessment to commissioning, every stage is planned around the requirements of the system.

01

Energy Assessment

We discuss your electricity requirements and identify the appliances and equipment that need to be powered.

02

Load Analysis

We determine the expected power demand and energy consumption.

03

Solar System Sizing

We determine the appropriate inverter, solar panel and battery requirements based on the application.

04

Equipment Selection

We recommend suitable inverters, batteries, solar panels, protection equipment, cables and mounting systems.

05

Installation

Installation includes appropriate mounting, wiring, protection and system connections.

06

Testing & Commissioning

The system is tested and configured before being handed over for operation.

07

Customer Guidance

We explain system operation, battery usage, monitoring and basic maintenance requirements.

Installation & Safety Matter

A solar system is more than solar panels and an inverter. Correct installation requires appropriate cables, protection devices, earthing, isolators, connectors and mounting systems.

  • Correct cable sizing
  • DC and AC protection
  • Proper isolation
  • Earthing and bonding
  • PV string configuration
  • Inverter installation
  • Battery connections
  • Equipment ventilation
  • System commissioning
