Apart from doing an electronic energy audit, An accurately filled load profile form shows how much energy a building uses at each time of the day for each day of the year.
A completed solar load profile form is required,
To accurately determine the energy demand each client intending to make the switch to solar requires.
As a solar solutions provider, we would like to know how many lights,
Appliances and electronics you run in your house and how many hours during the day or night they are in use.
Clients who give inaccurate data end up having a solar system sized below their load energy demand.
Hence poor performance of their solar system.
Inaccurate load profile data leads to client complaints on why,
Their solar system shuts off very early during the night or trips during the day.
If you experience frequent water rationing in the city or town you live in, you’d agree that every time the city turns the water back on,
You rush to fill up your water tank as much as possible,
Knowing how long the stored water in the tank will last your household when,
The water gets turned off again by the city.
Say the stored water in the tank lasts you 4 days until the next time the city turns the water back on to refill the water tanks.
But on a rare occasion you had a party with guests over who spent the night and the water in the tank ended up lasting only 2 days.
The solution to fixing such a situation to never happen again is to buy a larger capacity water tank,
To cater for the days when you have visitors over or extra demand for water.
Same thing happens with solar systems,
The bigger the energy demand the bigger the energy storage system (battery bank) required,
To keep your loads powered through the night before they recharge again during the day.

Read: How Solar Panels Work During Rainy and Cloudy Days In Kenya
Common questions prospective clients ask before making the switch to solar in Kenya:
Can solar panels work without direct sunlight?
Will the solar panels work on cloudy days?
Will the solar panels work on rainy days?
Do solar panels work at night?
Although solar technology isn’t new, many people still haven’t figured out how exactly the technology works.
So how exactly do solar panels produce electricity?
Basically, what happens is that your solar panel system uses photons to separate electrons from atoms. Photons are light particles. The process of separating electrons from their atoms creates solar electricity.
As the solar panels convert light into power (DC), the power gets sent through the system’s inverter. From there, it gets converted to alternating current (AC) power.
So to answer the above questions, yes solar panels do work on cloudy and rainy days in Kenya but not as effectively as they would on a sunny day. Expect the solar panels to produce 10 to 25 percent of their normal power output, depending on how thick the cloud cover is.
Although solar panels work better on sunny versus cloudy days in Kenya, solar panels don’t work best in particularly hot climates. In fact, solar panel output begins to fall if the temperature rises above 25 degrees Celsius. Watch the video below on how we design our systems:
Tips on sizing a solar system in Kenya
They actually don’t as mentioned before; solar panels require light more so from the sun and daylight to function at optimal capacity. Which is why having reliable battery storage is highly recommended to store all the energy the solar panels harvested during the day.
The team at PowerAfricaSolar designs our client solar systems to produce more power than your home needs during the daytime. The surplus power generated during the day is stored in a solar battery solution Read Why We Recommend SimpliPhi Batteries to Our Clients In Kenya Switching To Solar
In conclusion, your solar panel system will work on cloudy days and actually works better when it’s not too hot. How efficient your panels are under different weather conditions will depend on your solar panel brand and type read more about: Monocrystalline and Polycrystalline Solar Panels in Kenya: What You Need To Know
