Solar pays for itself with the money you save on your energy bill. The above 7 extra monthly charges could go towards your savings or paying off your solar system.
Why pay good money for bad services? Constant power blackouts, over billing, back dated bills and surprise power bills are digging a hole in the pockets of Kenyans.
Due to inflation and rising fuel prices, your power bill in Kenya will never reduce it will continue rising.
While those who opted to go solar will enjoy constant, stable, predictable or zero energy costs pretty much power on their own terms.
Just like the landlord you pay rent to, the energy company in Kenya decides what rates they want you to pay them and you have no choice but to pay the inflated bills since you don’t own your own power plant.
Your bill from the energy company can never be paid off, it will keep rising every month or year and you can never be protected from the higher costs.
The good news is by going solar your rate is fixed for 25 years with no extra charges. Kind of like living in a house rent free.
In conclusion here are some numbers to run by you.
The average household in Kenya will spend Ksh 1.7 to 2.1 million over 20 to 25 years in electricity bills. 25 years is the average lifespan of a solar panel.
