Reliable power is essential for modern households, especially in regions where grid interruptions are frequent. In Kenya, many families face inconsistent electricity supply, which can disrupt daily life and essential appliances. A local family partnered with Easun Power to implement a small-scale home energy storage system using a 3.2 kW inverter and 1 kWh lithium battery, creating a dependable and efficient solution.

Project Background
The family’s main goals were:
-
Ensure uninterrupted power for lighting, fans, and essential appliances
-
Maximize use of self-generated solar energy
-
Integrate a compact and safe energy storage system that fits the household’s needs
Given the moderate daily energy demand, a 3.2 kW inverter paired with a 1 kWh battery was ideal, providing sufficient backup during short grid outages and evening hours.
Solution
Easun Power designed a tailored home storage solution:
-
Compact and Efficient
The small inverter-battery combination fits neatly into the home, without requiring significant space or complex installation. -
