Solar Water Heater Installation in Nairobi
Are you tired of paying high electricity or gas bills just to get hot water at home? You’re not alone. With energy prices rising and Nairobi experiencing frequent power interruptions, more homeowners and businesses are turning to solar water heating systems as a reliable and cost-effective solution.
Whether you’re building a new home or upgrading an existing system, solar water heater installation in Nairobi is one of the smartest investments you can make for comfort, energy savings, and sustainability.
What is a Solar Water Heater?
A solar water heater uses energy from the sun to heat water for domestic or commercial use. It consists of:
-
Solar collectors or panels (mounted on your rooftop)
-
An insulated storage tank to hold hot water
-
A circulation system (either natural or pump-driven)
There are two main types of systems:
-
Pressurized solar water heaters – Ideal for multi-story buildings and high-pressure showers
-
Non-pressurized systems – More affordable and perfect for single-level homes or where water pressure isn’t a concern
