Bright Home Solar Energy was established ten years ago in order to provide innovative solar energy solutions for homes. Since 1997, Bright Home Solar Energy has satisfied hundreds of clients’ solar electrical and home water heating needs. We have developed close relationships with top solar product distributors. These close long term business relationships with our suppliers enables us to get our customers good deals on material procurements. In addition, we do volume business with these distributors and therefore are able to get highly discounted prices; a benefit that we pass on to our customer through products and services pricing. We have six full time employees in our Nairobi and Western Kenya offices and from time to time hire engineers and technicians on consultancy basis.
