Solar Panel 300W - SP Series
For Kenyan households and businesses with moderate to high energy requirements, the 300W Solar Panel strikes the perfect balance between performance, space efficiency, and affordability. This powerhouse panel delivers twice the energy output of standard 150W models while occupying only marginally more roof space”making it ideal for urban homes with limited installation areas or commercial establishments seeking substantial electricity savings.
Built with advanced monocrystalline technology, this panel maintains exceptional efficiency ratings even during Kenya's hottest afternoons when other systems typically underperform. The anti-reflective glass coating captures maximum sunlight while the reinforced aluminum frame withstands strong winds and heavy rainfall common during our rainy seasons. With a 25-year performance warranty guaranteeing at least 80% efficiency after a quarter-century, this represents a true long-term investment in energy independence.
The 300W panel powers comprehensive household systems including multiple lighting circuits, refrigerator, television, computer workstations, and even small air conditioning units when paired with appropriate battery storage. For businesses, it supports office equipment, point-of-sale systems, refrigeration for small shops, and workshop tools”dramatically reducing operational costs while ensuring uninterrupted service during grid outages.
What sets BuildMate's 300W panels apart is our comprehensive support ecosystem. Every purchase includes our free professional site assessment where our technicians analyze your property's solar potential, shadow patterns, and energy consumption to design a perfectly sized system.
