For photovoltaic wholesalers and solar energy integrators operating in Kenya, key requirements include:

  • Stable and predictable energy storage

  • System reliability under frequent charge–discharge cycles

  • Compatibility with local installation and maintenance conditions


The Story Begins with MEE

In May 2024, a Kenyan solar energy wholesaler participated in Middle East Electricity (MEE), an international exhibition focused on power and energy technologies. The event brought together manufacturers, distributors, and professionals from the global solar and energy storage industry.



During the exhibition, the wholesaler evaluated solar products and system solutions from multiple suppliers, focusing on complete systems rather than individual components.


Solution Selection

At Anern's MEE exhibition booth, the wholesaler reviewed a gel battery-based solar system, which integrates:


Technical discussions focused on system compatibility with Kenya's local power usage patterns and installation conditions. Particular attention is about the operational characteristics of gel batteries, including:

  • Reliability in high-frequency operation

  • Maintenance-free

  • Suitability for off-grid and backup power scenarios

With more in-depth technical communication, the photovoltaic wholesaler selected Anern's gel battery solar system solution.


Performance

Anern's gel battery solar systems contributed to:

  • Improved local power availability

  • Reduced dependence on unstable grid electricity

  • Practical energy storage support for daily power needs



From the wholesaler's perspective, the project demonstrated that integrated gel battery systems can address short-term power supply challenges while remaining accessible for local installation and operation.



Project Significance

This project serves as a reference for similar markets where:

  • Grid power reliability is limited

  • Solar resources are sufficient

  • Cost-effective and stable energy storage solutions are required


It illustrates how gel battery solar systems can be deployed at small-to-medium scale to support local electricity demand without complex infrastructure upgrades.


Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Why were gel batteries selected for this project?

A: Gel batteries offer stable performance, low maintenance, and suitability for frequent operations, making them practical for local power support applications.


Q: What type of users did this project serve?

A: The systems were used to support local electricity demand for end users affected by unstable grid power.


Q: Is this solution suitable for other regions in Africa?

A: Yes. Similar power and environmental conditions exist in many African markets where gel battery solar systems can provide effective energy storage.


Q: Does this system work with future upgrades?

A: Integrated systems can be expanded or adapted depending on future power demand and system design requirements.
