Solar power solutions provider Sun King has unveiled a new line of inverter systems targeted at homes and small businesses.
The PowerPlay Pro is a solar solution designed to power lights and home appliances, such as energy-efficient refrigerators, televisions, laptops, and light machinery.
“The PowerPlay Pro is an ideal addition to Sun King's diverse portfolio of solar products, making it possible for every Kenyan household and business to discover a power solution that fits their specific needs and budget,” said Sun King Vice President for Pay-As-You-Go Sales, East and Southern Africa, Victor Agandi.
A solar inverter is a device that converts the direct current (DC) electricity generated by solar panels into alternating current (AC) electricity.
The 600 Watt-capacity inverter is ideal for households and businesses facing unreliable grid connections or frequent blackouts. [1] It’s a hybrid system that draws power from both the electricity grid and its solar panels for storage in its batteries, which is then used whenever there is a blackout.
Compared to the more powerful Sun King PowerHub 3300 with a capacity of 3.3kW of electricity, Agandi said the PowerPlay Pro offers a portable and more budget-friendly alternative without compromising quality.
The PowerPlay Pro expands Sun King's existing line of solar inverter systems, complementing the multi-kilowatt PowerHub range, which boasts outputs ranging from 3.3 kVA to 20 kVA.
The PowerHub is designed for larger-scale needs, from homes and businesses to schools and healthcare facilities, offering full energy independence with customisable solutions.
These systems offer significant savings on generator fuel and maintenance costs.
Agandi noted that Sun King will showcase the PowerHub and PowerPlay across the country through the 127 stores nationwide.
"Customers will have the chance to engage with these products firsthand through Sun King's extensive agent network, retail partners, and online channels, learn more and make purchases," Agandi said.
