Nairobi, Kenya, January 2026 — SpenoMatic Group is proud to announce the opening of their new Solar Interactive Center at Sarit in Nairobi’s Westlands, marking a significant step in promoting renewable energy awareness and access in Kenya. Located on the lower ground floor of one of Nairobi’s most popular shopping destinations, the interactive center is designed as a learning space where visitors can explore the vast potential of solar energy in Africa’s green transition.
The interactive center is open to the public – from students to young professionals, families, and senior citizens. Through hands-on displays, practical demonstrations, and expert guidance, visitors will learn how solar energy works, how it can reduce their household or business electricity bills, and how it contributes to cutting carbon emissions and strengthening Kenya’s environmental energy solutions.
“This is a great opportunity to bring solar energy closer to everyday people,” says Nikita Surty, SpenoMatic Home Solutions. “Solar power is no longer just a technical concept – it’s a practical, affordable, and impactful solution for homes, businesses, and communities. With this centre, we want to demystify solar energy, show its real-life benefits, and inspire more Kenyans to be part of the green energy transition.”
Surty adds that the interactive center is meant to be both educational and inspiring.
“Africa has some of the highest solar potential in the world, yet much of it remains untapped. This center allows visitors to see, touch, and understand how solar systems can transform lives – from lowering energy costs to improving energy security and protecting the environment for future generations.”
Solar Energy and Africa’s Green Transition
Africa is at a pivotal moment in its energy journey. With rapid population growth, urbanization, and increasing electricity demand, renewable energy – particularly solar – is emerging as a key driver of sustainable development. The continent receives more sunlight than any other region in the world, positioning solar power as a critical solution for clean, decentralized, and affordable energy.
Kenya has long been a regional leader in renewable energy, with ambitious climate and energy goals aimed at reducing carbon emissions, expanding clean energy access, and strengthening climate resilience. Solar energy plays an increasingly important role alongside geothermal, wind, and hydropower, especially for households and small businesses seeking reliable and cost-effective power solutions.
The SpenoMatic Solar Interactive Center directly supports these national goals by raising awareness, building knowledge, and encouraging adoption of clean energy technologies. By situating their newest venture in a high-traffic public space like Sarit, SpenoMatic makes solar education accessible, visible, and relevant to everyday life.
Why Visit the Solar Interactive Center?
The Interactive Center offers a rare opportunity to learn about solar energy in a practical, engaging, and inclusive environment. Visitors can:
● Understand how solar systems work in real-world Kenyan conditions
