Our Product Range for Kenya

Non-Pressurized Systems — Best Price per Litre

The most economical route to hot water, ideal for family homes, rental housing and price-sensitive wholesale. Simple structure, easy installation, minimal maintenance. See the non-pressurized solar water heater series and the low-pressure solar collector components.

High-Pressure Systems for Urban Homes & Apartments

For buyers who want strong, mains-pressure hot water. Available as integrative high-pressure solar water heaters (tank + collector in one unit) or split high-pressure systems with the tank installed inside the ceiling or utility room.

Flat Plate — the Architect’s Choice

Durable, low-profile and frost-tolerant. We offer flat plate solar collectors for split installations and integrative flat panel solar water heaters as complete compact units — a common specification for gated estates and commercial buildings.

Commercial & Industrial Collectors

For hotels, lodges, hospitals, boarding schools and industrial pre-heating, heat pipe solar collectors and solar vacuum tubes can be arrayed to any project size.

Tanks, Brackets & Components

Source every part of the system from one factory: pressurized solar water tanks, solar water heater brackets engineered for different roof types, and copper coil solar water heaters for indirect heating. One container, one supplier, one quality standard.

Shipping to Kenya

We export from China to destinations in 30+ countries. For Kenya, containers route by sea freight to Mombasa, the main gateway for Nairobi and the wider East African region. Our team prepares export documentation, packing lists and container loading plans — compact units are loaded fully assembled to save installation time, while split systems and collectors are flat-packed for maximum container utilization.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is solar water heating mandatory in Kenya?

For many buildings, yes. Kenya’s Energy (Solar Water Heating) Regulations require new premises with a daily hot water demand exceeding 100 litres to install solar water heating systems, administered by the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA). In practice this covers most apartment blocks, hotels, hospitals and schools — which is why many of our Kenyan customers are installers and wholesalers serving compliance-driven projects. We manufacture to your specification and support third-party inspection before shipment, so your compliance documentation is backed by verified quality.

Which type of solar water heater is best for Kenya?

Non-pressurized systems win on price for family homes and rental units; high-pressure systems suit modern apartments and urban homes; flat plate collectors are the durable choice for estates and commercial buildings; heat pipe collectors scale best for hotels, hospitals and schools. See our full guide: types of solar water heaters compared.

What is the MOQ and lead time?

MOQ starts from 1 set for trial orders. Production takes 18–25 working days after order confirmation, then sea freight to Mombasa. We confirm a container loading plan with you before production starts.

Can you produce under our brand?

Yes — 100% OEM/ODM. Your logo on the tank, your labels, your packaging design. Many of our 100+ customers sell under their own brands.

Can we order a mixed container with different models?

Yes. Tanks, collectors, brackets and complete units can be mixed in one container — the most common way our East African customers ship.
