Get a fast, hassle‑free solar water heater installation in Kenya in three simple steps that mirror a proven, customer‑friendly process used by leading service providers.
Step 1: Contact Mayu Tech
Share basic details about the property, hot‑water usage, roof type, and preferred timeline to schedule a quick site assessment or remote consultation with a solar specialist.
- Discuss goals like slashing electricity bills, avoiding outages, or meeting building‑code requirements for new developments.
- Get guidance on system types (pressurized, split, flat plate, heat‑pipe) and KEBS/EPRA approvals to ensure compliance and durability.
Step 2: Free onsite quote
A technician evaluates orientation, roof strength, shading, piping runs, and tank placement, then recommends the right capacity for family size and climate.
- The design uses the thermosiphon principle so hot water rises naturally to the tank, minimizing moving parts and maintenance.
- Receive a transparent proposal with product options, installation scope, and timelines tailored to budget and hot‑water demand.
Step 3: Professional installation
Once approved, a certified team installs KEBS and EPRA‑approved collectors, storage tank, mounting, and insulated plumbing with safety valves and controls.
- Thermosiphon circulation delivers reliable hot water without a mechanical pump, reducing complexity and lifetime costs.
- Systems are commissioned the same day in most cases, with user training and after‑sales support backed by strong local references.
What’s included
- Site assessment, system sizing, and roof/structure compatibility check.
- Supply of collectors, tanks, stands, and food‑grade insulated piping, all KEBS/EPRA approved.
- Installation, testing, commissioning, and user orientation with ongoing service support.

How Our Solar Water Heater Installation Work
Our installation process is based on the proven thermosiphon principle, a trusted and efficient water heating method that operates naturally without the need for a mechanical pump. Here’s how it works:
Water stored in the collector is heated by the sun’s energy.
As it warms up, it becomes lighter and rises naturally into the storage tank.
Cooler water from the tank then flows down into the collector to be heated again.
This continuous circulation process ensures a steady supply of hot water while reducing energy consumption and maintenance costs. With our expert solar water heater installation in Kenya team handling the setup, you can trust your system to run efficiently and reliably for years.
Types Of Solar Water Heaters By Mayu Solar
Mayu Flat Plate Solar Water Heaters
It has a highly efficient thermosyphonic system with natural circulation (no electricity required). It comes with a high-performance tintanium coated collector. It’s easy to transport and straight forward Solor Water Heater installation thanks to the modular system desİgn. Mounting sets available for both flat roof installation as well as for parallel installations on pitched roofs. It has a Solar keymark certificate.
Heat Pipe Solar Water Heat Heater
The evacuated heat pipe water heater is chosen for its reliability, efficient performance and low cost. Vacuum tubes are the absorber part of solar water heater, consisting of double-layer coaxial glass tubes, made from extremely strong borosilicate glass 3.3, the inner tube coated by absorber selective coating, which absorbs solar energy and converts it into thermal energy for water heating.
Centralized Water Heating Systems
The split solar water heating is an active system, using a circulation pump with a controller to circulate the fluid in the closed loop system. Storage tank and solar collector are separated, the collector is integrated with the building perfectly, while the tank and the pump station can be installed anywhere in the building. Suitable for hotels, hostels, hospitals and other large institutions.
Frequently Asked about Solar Water Heater Installation
Installations must follow Kenya Standards such as KS 1860, ensure correct collector tilt and orientation, use insulated tanks and corrosion‑resistant components, and include a compliant backup heater that runs only when necessary, with an installation certificate issued on commissioning.
Yes, regulations require new premises to include design provisions for solar water heating, with responsibility for compliance placed on developers, architects, and engineers during plan approvals at county level.
Only licensed solar water heating technicians or contractors may design, install, test, commission, maintain, or repair systems, meeting qualifications recognized by the national energy authority.
Stationary collectors should be installed facing the equator with tilt typically 10–20 degrees from horizontal, adjusting collector area if tilt or azimuth deviates beyond specified ranges to meet performance targets.
Common options include glazed flat plate and evacuated tube systems for domestic hot water, with storage capacity sized at least 1.5 times daily demand and insulated tanks to retain heat efficiently.
A conventional backup (electric or gas) may be integrated or separate to ensure hot water availability, but it should operate only when solar contribution is insufficient due to weather or system downtime.
Select EPRA‑licensed contractors who provide a system design declaration detailing demand analysis, specs, collector type and count, BOQ, layout, timeline, and any site‑prep required before installation.
Installers must issue an installation certificate stating the date, system capacity, installer details, and warranty; this document evidences regulatory compliance and supports future maintenance claims.
