Questions Answered

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about going solar in Nairobi.

A typical residential system ranges from KES 350,000 to KES 1,200,000 depending on size. We offer zero-deposit financing and pay-as-you-save plans to make it affordable for every household.

Most residential installations are completed in 1 to 2 days. Larger or more complex systems may take up to 3 days. We work cleanly and efficiently to minimise disruption to your home.

Yes! Solar panels still generate power on cloudy or overcast days — just at reduced output. Nairobi's sunshine levels are among the best in East Africa, making it ideal for solar all year round.

You get a 25-year performance warranty on solar panels, 10-year product warranty on inverters, and a 10-year workmanship warranty from UrbanDwell Energy on all our installations.

Absolutely. Our balcony solar range is designed specifically for apartment renters and owners. The panels mount on your balcony railing and plug directly into a standard wall socket — no roof access, no permanent installation, no landlord structural approval needed. Ideal for apartments in Kilimani, Westlands, Kileleshwa and similar areas.

For rooftop installations, county planning permission is not required in most Nairobi residential cases. We handle all EPRA licensing and KPLC notifications on your behalf. For balcony solar, no permits are needed at all — it's a plug-in appliance.

Every UrbanDwell installation is backed by our 30-day money-back guarantee. If your system isn't performing as agreed within the first 30 days, we'll fix it or refund you in full — no arguments, no small print. Read the full guarantee terms →

Yes — every UrbanDwell client receives a personal referral link. When someone you refer installs a system, you both benefit: they receive a discount on their installation and you earn a cash reward. There's no limit to how many people you can refer. See full referral programme terms →
