Strategic Power Delivers a State-of-the-Art 8kW Hybrid Solar Power System in Watamu, Kilifi County
June 3, 2024At Strategic Power, we take pride in designing, delivering, and installing efficient solar energy and power backup systems across Kenya. Our latest project in Watamu, Kilifi County, showcases our commitment to providing reliable, sustainable, and innovative energy solutions. This blog post walks you through the journey of delivering a state-of-the-art 5kW ESS (Energy Storage System) powered by the TBB 5kW Low-Frequency Hybrid Inverter and MegaTank GL48100 LiFePO4 Lithium Batteries, designed to last over 10 years.
Client Request and Site Visit
The project began with a client in Watamu reaching out to Strategic Power for a reliable power backup solution. After an initial consultation, our team scheduled a site visit to assess the energy needs of the property. During the visit, we evaluated the client’s daily power consumption, load requirements, and site conditions to ensure the system would meet their expectations.
System Sizing and Customized Quote
Using the data collected during the site visit, our engineers sized the system to ensure optimal performance. We recommended a 5kW ESS powered by the TBB 5kW Hybrid Inverter and MegaTank GL48100 Lithium Batteries. This system was designed to handle high surge loads, provide reliable off-grid power, and support grid-tied operations with smart energy management features.
We provided the client with a detailed quote, outlining the costs, system specifications, and benefits, including:
- Energy independence with long-lasting lithium batteries.
- Remote monitoring for real-time system performance tracking.
Payment and Site Preparation
Once the client approved the quote, we moved forward with the payment process. Our team then guided the client on site preparation, ensuring the installation area was ready for the system. This included clearing the space, ensuring proper ventilation, and preparing the electrical connections.
Installation (Completed in 2 Days)
Our skilled installation team arrived on-site and completed the installation in just two days. The process included:
- Mounting the TBB RIIO Sun II 5kW Hybrid Inverter, a versatile solution capable of off-grid and grid-tied operations.
- Installing the MegaTank GL48100 LiFePO4 Lithium Batteries, known for their high capacity, efficiency, and long lifespan.




Testing and Commissioning
After installation, our team conducted thorough testing and commissioning to ensure the system was functioning optimally. We verified the inverter’s performance, tested the battery storage capacity, and ensured the remote monitoring feature was operational. The client was thrilled with the seamless transition to a reliable and efficient power backup system.
