DQ1208C1500-53 Solar Power System for Homes

A solar power system for homes and businesses in Kenya, model DQ1208C1500-53, sold from our Nairobi trade counter.

Largest model in the DQ1208 range of solar power systems, this unit is bought where a home or business needs more capacity than the smaller boxes in the series can give. Like its siblings it is built around a battery, an inverter and a set of outputs in one host, ready for a technician to connect panels and loads.

Rural homes, shops, offices and small institutions are the intended users. Inverter, battery and output figures for this model are confirmed with our supplier before we quote them — contact us and we will have them ready before you order.

What an all-in-one unit means

In a separate system you buy an inverter and batteries and wire them together. Here the battery, the inverter and the outputs sit in one host, so there are fewer parts to match and fewer connections for a technician to make.

Who it suits

Rural homes with no mains, shops and offices that lose trading time in KPLC outages, and small institutions such as clinics or schools that need power through the evening.

Before you buy

• Add up the watts of everything you want to run at the same time, and list what must run overnight.
• Ask us for the supplier's inverter, battery and output figures for this model and check they cover that list.
• Ask how many panels it takes and of what size before you buy panels separately.
• Use a qualified technician to connect panels and house wiring.
