About Arcnad Systems

Kenya's most trusted solar installation company since 2018.

Our Story

Why We Do What We Do

Arcnad Systems was born out of frustration. Our founder watched his mother's business in Nairobi lose thousands of shillings monthly to KPLC bills and diesel generators. He knew there was a better way.

With a background in electrical engineering and a passion for clean energy, the team started Arcnad Systems in 2018 with one promise: make solar affordable, reliable, and accessible to every Kenyan.

Today, our certified team has installed 500+ systems, saved customers over KES 200 million in energy costs, and prevented thousands of tonnes of CO₂ from entering the atmosphere.

Our Mission

To accelerate Kenya's transition to clean energy by delivering world-class solar installations — affordable, reliable, and backed by exceptional after-sales service.

Our Vision

A Kenya where every rooftop generates clean energy, where no family loses food to power outages, and where businesses thrive without the burden of high electricity costs.
