Solar Batteries in Kenya

Lithium-ion batteries (LiFePO4) are the premium choice for solar storage. They offer 3,000-6,000 charge cycles, a depth of discharge up to 95%, and a compact footprint. While the upfront cost is higher, the longer lifespan and lower weight make lithium batteries more cost-effective over time — ideal for daily-cycling systems in Nairobi apartments and commercial buildings.

Gel batteries (sealed lead-acid) are a proven, budget-friendly option. They deliver 500-1,200 cycles at 50% depth of discharge and require no maintenance. Gel batteries work well in moderate-temperature environments and are a solid choice for backup-only systems or budget-conscious installations in rural Kenya.
