The Transformation

Your Business Before Vajra vs. After Vajra

Every commercial client reports the same turnaround — lower costs, zero supply disruptions, and measurable ROI.

Before — The Business Burden
  • KPLC bills Ksh 200,000–2,000,000 every month
  • Operations disrupted by NWSC rationing every week
  • Diesel generator costs Ksh 50,000–500,000 monthly
  • Production/cold chain at risk during every power outage
  • Water quality failing hotel, food, or clinical standards
  • No sustainability credentials for ESG reporting or audits
After — Business Transformed
  • KPLC bill reduced by 60–90% — saving millions annually
  • Independent borehole water — zero NWSC supply risk
  • Solar + battery eliminates need for routine generator use
  • Critical loads protected through every KPLC blackout
  • KS EAS 12 and WHO-compliant treated water on tap
  • Documented carbon reduction for ESG and green certification
How It Works

From Site Survey to Full Commercial Commissioning

A structured four-stage process that minimises business disruption while delivering the infrastructure on time and on budget.

01

Free Commercial Assessment

A Vajra engineer analyses your KPLC bills, water consumption data, and site layout to design the optimal solar, borehole, and backup system for your facility — at no cost and no obligation.

02

Detailed Proposal & ROI Model

You receive a fixed-price proposal with full bill of quantities, ROI projections, and payback timeline. Financing and lease-to-own options available for qualifying commercial projects.

03

Minimal-Disruption Installation

Our commercial teams schedule installation to minimise operational downtime. Grid-tied solar typically requires just one short shutdown for interconnection. Borehole drilling operates independently of your facility.

04

Commissioning & Monitoring

All systems are commissioned with full performance testing, staff training, and real-time monitoring dashboards. 2-year workmanship warranty and priority support line for commercial clients.

What Kenya's Business Owners Say About Vajra

Real feedback from commercial clients who made the switch to borehole water and solar power with Vajra Drill.

"Our hotel on Mombasa Road was spending Ksh 850,000 per month on KPLC and Ksh 120,000 on water bowsers. Vajra installed a 120kW commercial solar system and drilled a high-yield borehole. Combined savings are over Ksh 750,000 monthly. The entire project paid back in under 4 years. Their team worked weekends to minimise disruption to our guests."

"We run a 2,000-student boarding school in Kiambu. NWSC water was rationed three days a week and we were spending Ksh 200,000 monthly on bowsers. Vajra drilled a borehole and installed solar-powered pumps and a 50,000-litre tank. Our kitchen, dormitories, and sanitation now have 24-hour supply. KPLC pumping costs: zero."

"We operate a food processing plant in Athi River EPZ. Water quality and supply continuity are critical to our KEBS certification. Vajra drilled a deep industrial borehole and installed a full RO treatment plant. We now have our own compliant water source and a 250kW solar system that's cut our KPLC bill by 75%. Their documentation was audit-ready from day one."

FAQ

Commercial Client Questions Honestly Answered

The questions Kenya's business owners and facility managers ask most before commissioning a commercial water or solar project.

What is the payback period for a commercial solar system in Kenya?

Most commercial solar systems in Kenya achieve payback in 3–5 years, depending on your current KPLC tariff category and the system size. Heavy commercial and industrial customers paying SC and SI tariffs (the highest KPLC rates) typically see the fastest payback. After payback, the system generates free power for 20+ years. We provide a detailed financial model with every commercial quotation showing your exact payback period based on actual KPLC bills.

Can we get a commercial borehole within Nairobi Industrial Area or a CBD building?

Yes — we drill commercial boreholes in urban Nairobi including Industrial Area, Upper Hill, Westlands, and the CBD. Urban drilling requires careful siting to avoid underground services and comply with NCC requirements. Our hydrogeologists are experienced in urban Nairobi geology. We handle all WRA abstraction licence applications and NCC notifications as part of our service.

Can our factory or hospital continue operating during solar installation?

Yes. Our commercial installation teams are trained to work around operational facilities. Solar panel mounting and most electrical works are done without interrupting your operations. The only required shutdown is the final grid interconnection — typically 2–4 hours, scheduled at your convenience (weekends or low-production periods). We have installed systems on operating hospitals, live hotel operations, and running factories.

What commercial solar system size do we need for a medium-sized factory?

A medium-sized factory on a KPLC SC2 or industrial tariff typically needs 100kW–500kW of solar to achieve 50–70% energy independence. The exact size depends on your peak demand (kVA), operating hours, and roof or ground space available. We carry out a full load analysis and site survey before recommending a system size. Battery backup for critical equipment and generator integration for 100% uptime are also available.

Do you offer financing or leasing for large commercial projects?

Yes — for qualifying commercial clients, we offer structured financing and lease-to-own arrangements in partnership with Kenyan commercial banks and development finance institutions. Under a typical solar lease, you pay nothing upfront and instead pay a monthly fee below your current KPLC bill — achieving immediate cost savings from month one. Contact us to discuss financing options for your specific project size and business profile.
