Keep essential appliances running when the grid goes off

A correctly designed hybrid solar backup system can power lights, Wi-Fi, TVs, refrigeration, CCTV, computers, phone charging, fans and selected pumps. Backup duration depends on battery capacity and the appliances in use.

Air conditioning, washing machines, water systems and other heavy loads need individual sizing. Explore solar backup systems in Uganda or send your appliance list for a recommendation.

PRACTICAL SOLAR ADVICE

Solar Questions We Answer Every Day

How much does a solar system cost in Uganda?

The price depends on the appliances you want to power, inverter size, battery storage and number of solar panels required.

As a guide, a complete 5 kW Santana Solar system is around UGX 14,000,000, including the main solar equipment and installation package. Larger systems are individually sized and quoted.

Send us your appliance list on WhatsApp or visit our Mbiko showroom and our team can recommend the right system and prepare a quotation.

What can a 5 kW solar system power?

A properly designed 5 kW system is suitable for many homes, apartments, Airbnbs and small businesses.

Typical loads can include lights, TVs, Wi-Fi, fridge/freezer, laptops and computers, fans, CCTV, phone charging and normal sockets.

Appliances such as washing machines, microwaves, irons and kettles can also be used, but high-power appliances must be considered when sizing the system. Air conditioners, water heaters, electric cooking and large pumps should be calculated separately.

Can solar keep my house running during power cuts?

Yes. A hybrid solar system with lithium battery storage can automatically provide backup electricity when grid power is unavailable.

The amount of equipment that continues operating and the backup duration depend on the inverter capacity, battery storage and appliances being used.

Santana Solar sizes the system according to the customer's priority loads and desired backup time.

Why install solar if I already have grid electricity?

Solar is not only about reducing electricity costs.

A hybrid solar and battery system can provide comfort and energy security during power interruptions, allowing essential appliances such as lighting, Wi-Fi, refrigeration, security systems, televisions and computers to continue operating.

Solar can therefore provide a combination of backup power, greater energy independence and reduced electricity costs.

How do I know what size solar system I need?

We size the system according to what you actually use—not simply according to the size of your house.

Santana Solar considers your appliances, their wattage, simultaneous loads, required backup time, available solar-panel space and budget before recommending the inverter, battery capacity and number of solar panels.

Send us your appliance list on WhatsApp or visit our showroom for assistance.

Is a 5 kW solar system enough for an Airbnb?

A 5 kW hybrid system can be suitable for many small Airbnbs and guest properties, supporting normal loads such as lighting, TVs, Wi-Fi, refrigeration, charging, fans and normal sockets.

Properties with air conditioning, electric water heaters, electric cooking or other heavy loads require additional calculation and may need a larger inverter, more solar panels or additional battery storage.

How much battery storage do I need?

Battery capacity depends mainly on what you need to operate when solar production is low or the grid is unavailable, and for how many hours.

A 5.1 kWh lithium battery can provide useful backup for essential loads in a small home or business. Customers requiring longer overnight autonomy or heavier loads can use larger batteries or multiple batteries.

Santana Solar calculates battery capacity from the expected load and required backup duration.

Deye or Dyness: which is better?

Santana Solar supplies both Deye and Dyness equipment.

Deye is one of our main choices for hybrid inverter and battery solutions, with monitoring, lithium-battery compatibility and advanced system-control features. Dyness also provides high-quality lithium battery and hybrid solutions.

The appropriate choice depends on system size, battery capacity, compatibility, availability and budget. Our technicians can recommend the appropriate solution for each installation.

Where can I buy Deye inverters in Uganda?

Santana Solar supplies Deye hybrid inverters and lithium batteries in Uganda from our physical solar showroom in Mbiko, near Jinja.

Customers can visit the showroom, see available equipment and discuss their requirements before purchasing. We can also supply and install systems elsewhere in Uganda.

Where can I buy Dyness lithium batteries in Uganda?

Santana Solar supplies Dyness lithium batteries in Uganda in different storage capacities for residential and commercial solar systems.

Visit our Mbiko showroom to see available equipment and discuss inverter compatibility, or contact us for current price and availability.

Are lithium batteries better than lead-acid batteries for solar?

For most modern systems we install, Santana Solar recommends lithium batteries because of their higher usable capacity, longer cycle life, faster charging, lower maintenance and good integration with modern hybrid inverters.

Although their initial cost can be higher, they are generally a better long-term solution for customers looking for reliable daily solar and backup operation.

Do you install solar systems outside Jinja?

Yes. Santana Solar supplies and installs solar systems throughout Uganda.

Our showroom and technical base are in Mbiko/Jinja, and our installation team can mobilize to other parts of the country. Transport and mobilization are quoted according to project location.

Do Santana Solar systems have a warranty?

Yes. Santana Solar provides a 5-year warranty on our systems and installation, subject to the applicable equipment and warranty conditions.

We also provide local technical and after-sales support.

Can I buy solar equipment without installation?

Yes. Customers, installers and dealers can purchase inverters, lithium batteries, solar panels and accessories separately.

Customers requiring a complete solution can also receive system design, equipment, mounting structure, electrical protection, installation, testing and commissioning.

Can I see the solar equipment before I buy?

Yes. Santana Solar has a physical showroom in Mbiko, near Jinja, where customers can see equipment, speak with our team and discuss their requirements before purchasing.

Can you design solar systems for schools, hotels and businesses?

Yes. Santana Solar designs systems for homes, schools, hotels and lodges, Airbnbs, offices, farms, shops and commercial buildings.

Commercial systems are individually designed around the actual electrical load, simultaneous consumption, solar generation and required battery autonomy.

Can solar run an air conditioner or water heater?

Yes, but air conditioners, water heaters and similar appliances have relatively high energy requirements.

They must therefore be included when sizing the inverter, battery and solar array. Tell us the number, size and expected operating hours of these appliances and we can calculate an appropriate system.
