An elevated structure combining PV and turbine technology to deliver 5‑12× more energy per square meter than typical rooftop solar on the same building, 24/7.
Our system is designed to excel everywhere – from the highlands to the coast to the Turkana wind corridor, and into urban centers.
5.8 sun hrs, 3‑4 m/s wind – still 5‑8× more energy than typical rooftop solar. Ideal for schools, farms, and health centres.
5‑7 m/s winds push capacity factor to >80%. LCOE as low as KSh 8.5/kWh – our most bankable deployment zone.
9+ m/s winds, turbines run >70% of the time. LCOE can reach KSh 8.0/kWh – well below grid cost.
High daytime loads, EV charging demand, and commercial density – our hybrid system delivers 24/7 power, cutting grid dependency by up to 55%.
See how our hybrid system stacks up against diesel generators, Kenya Power grid, and solar‑only systems.
| Metric | Diesel Generator | Kenya Power Grid | Solar‑Only | LectraWind |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cost per kWh | KSh 42-65 | KSh 22-25 | KSh 15-18 | KSh 8.5–14 |
| Availability | Fuel‑dependent | 8+ hrs outages/month | Daytime only | 24/7 |
| Maintenance | High | None (by KPLC) | Low | Low |
| Emissions | High | Mixed | Zero | Zero |
| Fuel/Running Cost | Diesel: KSh 170/L | KSh 22-25/kWh | Free (sunlight) | Free (wind + sun) |
| Energy Independence | Partial | None | Partial (day only) | Full |
| Monthly cost (1,000 kWh) | KSh 42,000-65,000 | KSh 22,000-25,000 | KSh 15,000-18,000 | KSh 8,500-14,000 |
| Payback Period | N/A (ongoing fuel) | N/A (ongoing bills) | 7-10 years | 5-8 years (cash) |
* LectraWind LCOE range: best case coastal (KSh 8.5) to conservative highland (KSh 14). Diesel at KSh 170/L, generator efficiency ~3 kWh/L. Solar‑only assumes 5 kW fixed‑tilt with 10 kWh battery.
