Commercial solar

A solar business case your finance team can check.

Factories, offices, hotels, hospitals, schools and campuses pay for electricity through energy rates, demand charges, time-of-use windows and levies. StimaPulse models all of them so the solar case is built on your real bill structure.

Baseline

Understand the current bill

Energy, demand, time-of-use and levy components are separated so you can see which part solar, storage or load shifting can actually reduce.

Reviewed KPLC commercial tariffs
Options

Compare credible configurations

Test rooftop or ground PV, battery storage, generator integration and load scheduling side by side with the same load and tariff assumptions.

Equipment

Use exact models

Select real inverter, panel and battery models, or add your supplier's datasheet. Compatibility checks stop configurations that cannot work.

How sizing works
Finance

Payback with visible assumptions

Installed cost, savings, maintenance, battery replacement and financing are shown together so the board can challenge any number.

Procurement

Request and compare quotations

Turn the approved scenario into supplier requirements, collect quotes and compare them against the same baseline.

Sectors

Built for institutions

Schools, campuses, healthcare, hospitality, manufacturing and fleet depots each have different operating hours and resilience needs.

Frequently asked questions

How much can a business save with solar in Kenya?

Savings depend on how much of your consumption happens during daylight, your KPLC tariff class, time-of-use windows, demand charges and levies. StimaPulse calculates savings against reviewed tariff data for your class so the estimate reflects your bill structure, not a generic per-kWh figure.

Can solar reduce KPLC demand charges?

Solar alone often reduces energy charges more than demand charges, because peak demand can occur when the sun is weak. Batteries or load scheduling can reduce peaks. StimaPulse shows the effect on both energy and demand charges separately.

What is the payback period for commercial solar?

Payback is the installed cost divided by annual net savings, adjusted for maintenance, battery replacement and tariff changes. StimaPulse shows payback with every assumption visible so finance teams can test them.

How do I compare solar supplier quotes fairly?

Compare like-for-like: system size, exact equipment models, expected yield, warranties, exclusions and support. StimaPulse records structured requirements and quotation responses so differences are visible.

Does StimaPulse install solar systems?

No. StimaPulse is planning and decision software. Installation, final design and commissioning are carried out by licensed installers and engineers, whom you can compare using StimaPulse procurement records.
