Electrical work is performed to the highest standards, with proper wire sizing, overcurrent protection, grounding, and labeling that ensures both safety and ease of future maintenance.
System commissioning includes comprehensive testing of all components, verification of proper operation, and documentation of baseline performance. We provide detailed handover sessions where clients learn about system operation, monitoring capabilities, and basic maintenance requirements.
Energy Storage Solutions
As solar technology has evolved, battery storage has become increasingly important for maximizing solar investment value. Bestcare offers state-of-the-art energy storage solutions that enable clients to store excess solar production for use during evenings, nights, or periods of peak demand when grid electricity is most expensive.
Our battery systems range from basic backup power solutions that keep essential loads running during outages to sophisticated energy management systems that optimize self-consumption of solar energy and minimize grid dependence. We work with leading battery technologies, including lithium-ion systems that offer high efficiency, long cycle life, and compact footprints suitable for space-constrained installations.
For commercial clients, energy storage opens possibilities for demand charge management, where stored energy helps reduce peak demand charges that significantly impact electricity bills. Bestcare’s energy management systems intelligently control when batteries charge, when they discharge, and when to draw from or export to the grid, maximizing financial benefits.
Ongoing Maintenance and Performance Optimization
Solar systems require minimal maintenance compared to conventional power generation, but professional care ensures optimal long-term performance. Bestcare offers comprehensive maintenance programs that include regular panel cleaning, which is particularly important in Kenya’s dusty environments, electrical connection inspections, inverter performance monitoring, battery maintenance and testing, and system performance analysis.
Our proactive maintenance approach identifies and addresses minor issues before they become major problems. Regular performance monitoring allows us to detect underperforming panels, inverter issues, or system configuration problems that might reduce energy production. When components need replacement, we respond quickly to minimize downtime and energy losses.
Financial Benefits and Sustainability Impact
The financial case for solar power in Kenya is compelling. With electricity tariffs continuing to rise and solar system costs declining, payback periods for commercial installations typically range from three to six years, after which the energy produced is essentially free. Over a system’s 25-year lifespan, savings can amount to millions of shillings for commercial operations and hundreds of thousands for residential installations.
Beyond financial returns, solar power delivers significant environmental benefits. Each kilowatt-hour of solar electricity displaces fossil fuel generation, reducing carbon emissions and air pollution.
