YACHU 1.5kW 12V Hybrid Inverter

Yes, within its size. A hybrid inverter charges your battery from solar panels and KPLC power, then switches over automatically when the grid goes off, so connected lights, TV, Wi-Fi and fridge keep running from the battery. How long it lasts depends on battery size and load; cookers, kettles and water heaters drain small systems fast.

Only the circuits wired to the inverter stay on, so we agree with you which ones matter before we install. WhatsApp us your appliance list and we will size it.

The YACHU 1.5kW hybrid inverter is a 12V unit, so it needs one 12V battery. Our KSh 90,000 kit pairs it with the YACHU 2.5kWh 12.8V 200Ah lithium battery (KSh 40,000 on its own). On a budget, a 12V gel battery works too: 100Ah KSh 14,000, 150Ah KSh 20,000 or 200Ah KSh 30,000.

You can add a second 12V battery in parallel (same type and age) for longer backup. Lithium gives more usable energy per kWh stored; gel is cheaper to start with.

Some models, yes. The YACHU 1.5kW and 6.2kW hybrid inverter listings say they can be monitored on a phone through a Wi-Fi module. Ask us whether the module comes with your unit or costs extra before you buy, and which app it uses; we can help you connect it.

At Technics Electricals & Solar in Kiserian, YACHU hybrid inverters cost KSh 27,000 for the 1.5kW 12V, KSh 33,000 for the 3.5kW 24V and KSh 45,000 for the 6.2kW 48V. Each has a built-in MPPT solar charge controller and is listed with a 1-year manufacturer warranty. Installation is quoted separately.

Pick the size by what must run at the same time, and match the battery to the inverter voltage. Ask us for the warranty terms.

A hybrid inverter is the control box of a solar system: it takes power from solar panels, a battery and KPLC, decides which to use, charges the battery and switches over automatically when the grid fails. YACHU hybrid inverters at Technics Electricals & Solar cost KSh 27,000 (1.5kW), KSh 33,000 (3.5kW) and KSh 45,000 (6.2kW).
