KSTAR Highlights Residential Energy Solutions at 10th Solar Africa in Kenya

The company presents a range of residential energy solutions tailored to the unique challenges and opportunities of the East African solar market.

With East Africa experiencing rapid growth in solar adoption, driven by frequent grid fluctuations, increasing electricity demand, and ongoing efforts to improve energy access, the need for reliable and adaptable inverters and energy storage systems has become more critical than ever.

Frequent grid instability and the region’s distinct climatic conditions, including high temperatures and dust exposure, require solutions that are both resilient and efficient.

Against this backdrop, KSTAR presented a portfolio of residential energy storage and photovoltaic inverter solutions designed to meet these specific needs.

At the heart of KSTAR’s display was the Home Series, an all-in-one residential energy storage system integrating top-tier lithium cells. Built with an emphasis on ease of use and long lifecycle performance, the system is engineered to support households under diverse environmental conditions typical of East Africa, offering stable power even during outages or limited electricity access.

In addition, KSTAR highlighted two solar inverter series. The Knight Series supports multiple battery types and offers intelligent fast charging up to 120A, which aligns well with households seeking flexible and efficient energy management. Meanwhile, the BluE Series offers a high maximum PV voltage of 1100V and IP66 protection, making it well suited to withstand the dust and heat common in the region’s climate while supporting large-capacity PV panels.

While not physically displayed, BC197/215/233DE2 in the BluePulse Series portfolio attracted significant attention. This all-in-one C&I ESS system offers scalable capacity from 197 to 233 kWh and supports expansion up to 20 units in parallel for on-grid applications and up to 6 units for off-grid setups, allowing adaptation to diverse customer needs—from microgrids to larger commercial installations.

Built with CATL lithium battery cells and backed by a 10-year performance warranty, the BluePulse series ensures safety and longevity.

KSTAR’s participation in 10th Solar Africa reflects the company’s commitment to supporting Africa’s renewable energy transition by delivering solutions tailored to the region’s climatic and infrastructural realities. With a focus on reliability, scalability, and ease of installation, these technologies aim to support local partners and end-users in advancing sustainable energy access.
