Solar panels generate electricity under sunlight, and through charge controllers and inverters, they supply power to the equipment of communication base stations, with batteries acting as energy storage units to ensure power supply during nights or overcast days.
A typical base station energy storage system consists of lithium battery banks, an intelligent management system, power conversion equipment, and power distribution units.
With the installation of solar panels, the site can now run at 100% availability throughout the day, powered by the abundant Kenyan sun. And to make things even more efficient, Safaricom is pairing these solar panels with super-efficient lithium-ion batteries that store.
In 2026, the average price for Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery modules (the cells and racks) has stabilized in the range of $140 to $240 per kWh for the hardware alone. This represents a significant decline from previous years, driven by manufacturing scale and material.
