Buy an inverter around the loads you need to run, the available solar array and the battery or grid arrangement. We help define an equipment specification and installation scope before a model is selected.
Start with a clear site brief
A pumping variable-frequency drive and a household hybrid inverter serve different duties. Confirm that the proposed device is designed for the connected load and that surge and motor-starting demands have been considered.
- An appliance list showing running loads and motor starting requirements
- Whether the goal is backup, solar self-consumption or an off-grid supply
- Battery chemistry, capacity, communication and operating limits if already installed
- Existing supply phases, distribution board and future expansion plans
What the service can include
The final quotation should identify the work included, the documents supplied and the responsibilities that remain with the owner. We develop the scope from your site information and assessment findings rather than assuming one package suits every project.
- Load assessment and suitable inverter-class comparison
- Compatibility review for PV strings, batteries and communications
- Supply quotation with model, warranty and installation inclusions
- Installation, protection checks, operating settings and handover
What determines the cost?
An installed quote should separate the inverter, battery where required, protections, changeover arrangements, distribution work, monitoring equipment and commissioning. Prices and availability are confirmed for the selected model.
Compare quotations on the same basis. Ask whether mobilisation, materials, testing, taxes, commissioning and aftercare are included. Where the work depends on findings that are not yet available, agree how the price or design will be updated before the next stage.
What to check before committing
Do not choose an inverter on its advertised kVA alone. Usable output, surge behaviour, battery compatibility, transfer behaviour and supported operating modes need checking against the current manufacturer documentation.
A useful handover
Keep the serial number, supplier invoice, warranty terms, single-line diagram, firmware and settings record, monitoring ownership details and safe shutdown instructions.
Nominate the person who will operate or maintain the system and make sure they can explain the normal operating sequence, when to isolate equipment and who to contact if readings or performance change.
For your property or organisation
We plan projects for homes, farms, NGOs, schools, public institutions and businesses. Kenyans living abroad can nominate a local representative and agree documented approvals before work starts. The site remains in Kenya; your residence country helps us coordinate communication.

Questions to ask
Can you quote before visiting the site?
We can discuss an initial scope from your records and objectives. A firm installation or construction scope may require an assessment and the missing technical information. Any initial estimate should state its assumptions.
Which county do you cover?
Send the project county, nearest town and site pin. We confirm access, mobilisation and the practical delivery arrangement for the requested work before accepting the scope.
Can a Kenyan abroad coordinate the project?
Yes. Agree one authorised decision maker, a local access contact and the evidence needed for each milestone. State your residence country and time zone on the enquiry form.
