Solar Panels for Kenya
Mini-Grid + C&I Leader of East Africa (2026)

IEC 61215 + IEC 61730 required (we provide). EPRA (Energy & Petroleum Regulatory Authority) licensing for grid-tied systems. KEBS (Kenya Bureau of Standards) KS 2408 for retail product. For mini-grid projects under KOSAP (Kenya Off-Grid Solar Access Project) or REREC (Rural Electrification & Renewable Energy Corporation), full IEC + Factory Acceptance Test reports required. JUSTSOLAR provides complete bundle.

Solar modules: 0% import duty under Kenya's renewable energy policy (EAC tariff exempted). VAT: 0% on solar modules (zero-rated for grid-connected solar) per Finance Act. IDF (Import Declaration Fee): 2.5%. Railway Development Levy: 1.5%. Total: ~4-5% on CIF. Very favorable for solar imports. Mini-grid projects sometimes get further concessions.

Yes — we supply EPCs bidding into KOSAP lots (Kenya Off-Grid Solar Access Project, World Bank funded) and KEREA (Kenya Renewable Energy Association) member mini-grid developers. For 20-100 kWp community mini-grid sites typical in Northern Kenya + Turkana, our 600W TOPCon is technically optimal. For utility-scale PPAs via KETRACO/KenGen: bankability + IEC sufficient.

Shanghai → Mombasa: 22-28 days direct. If going to Uganda/Rwanda/South Sudan, add 3-7 days road transport from Mombasa. Alternative via Dar es Salaam + TAZARA rail can sometimes be faster for Nairobi. Add 5-7 days factory production if no stock. Mombasa port clearance typically 3-5 days for compliant documentation.

Yes, growing fast. Kenya's commercial electricity tariff is ~$0.20/kWh — 2-3× higher than utility-scale LCOE, creating strong rooftop economics. Major C&I buyers: Safaricom, KCB Bank, East Africa Breweries, Unilever, tea estates in Kericho/Nandi, horticulture greenhouses in Naivasha. 600W TOPCon is dominant for this segment.

Established Kenyan clients: 30% deposit + 70% against B/L copy possible. New clients: 30% + 70% before shipment. L/C accepted from KCB, Equity Bank, NCBA, Standard Chartered Kenya, Absa Kenya, Cooperative Bank for 5+ container orders. USD or EUR denominated (KES not used internationally). Trade Assurance available for smaller transactions.

We supply C&I EPCs in Nairobi, Kisumu, Mombasa. Mini-grid developers across Northern Kenya (Turkana, Marsabit, Garissa counties). Horticulture/flower farm rooftop integrators in Naivasha/Nakuru. Also serving East Africa via Mombasa hub — customers in Uganda (Kampala), Tanzania (Dar), Rwanda (Kigali). English/Swahili awareness in communication via Frank.
