Updated 12 November 2026
The official way to search the EPRA solar PV technician register in Kenya is to use the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority’s public licence-register table, not a wallet card or a social-media certificate post. On 12 November 2026 that table was linked from the Authority’s Renewable Energy Registers page at epra.go.ke/renewable-energy-registers. The official row is labelled “Solar Photovoltaic Technicians Register,” with the official description “List of registered solar photovoltaic technicians,” and a Download link that opens the public portal table.
On a count of all 13 official portal pages on 12 November 2026, the table printed “Showing 1-100 of 1,265 items.” on the first page and “Showing 1,201-1,265 of 1,265 items.” on the last page. Those 1,265 licence-number rows were all present, and all 1,265 licence numbers were unique. The official “Licencee Name” column had 1,254 unique names: 1,243 names appeared once and 11 names each appeared on two official rows. This guide does not paste the names. A later official register would supersede those counts.

What the solar PV technician register is
The Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority keeps a public register of registered solar photovoltaic technicians, separate from its solar-photovoltaic contractor register on the same Renewable Energy Registers page, and separate from the electrical-worker, electrical-contractor and power-undertaking registers on the Electricity Registers page. The portal page title on 12 November 2026 was “Solar-Technicians.”
The official technicians table, checked that day, uses the columns Licencee Name, Licence Class, Licence Number, Town, Status and Expiry Date. The official column heading is spelled “Licencee.” This guide does not paste names.
How to search the EPRA solar PV technician register in Kenya
To search the EPRA solar PV technician register in Kenya, open epra.go.ke/renewable-energy-registers and use the official Download link for “Solar Photovoltaic Technicians Register.” That link opens the Authority’s public licence-register portal table. On 12 November 2026 the table ran to 13 official pages at 100 rows per page, with 65 rows on the last page.
The official class filter, checked the same day, offered Class T1, Class T2 and Class T3. You can also sort the official columns, including the licence number, the town, the status and the expiry date, and you can move through the printed pages. Use the live table rather than a downloaded snapshot if you need the current row.
The same portal menu also includes a Verify Licence link. This guide does not treat a verification result as a substitute for the public technicians table counted on 12 November 2026, and it does not invent a result from a form that was not submitted.
What the November 2026 count includes, and what it omits
The counts below are from all 13 official pages of the Solar Photovoltaic Technicians Register table, as served on 12 November 2026, not from a media republication and not from a Business Radar tool. They are the current official snapshot of the EPRA solar PV technician register in Kenya on those pages. The official Showing line uses a hyphen with no spaces, a thousands comma in “1,265,” and a full stop after “items.”
All 1,265 printed items were present as licence-number rows, and all 1,265 licence numbers were unique. 1,254 names were unique in the official Licencee Name column: 1,243 names appeared once and 11 names each appeared on two official rows, with a different licence number on each of those rows. No name cell was blank. Official licence-number typography used an EPRA/SPVT/ prefix on every row, but the official digit string after that prefix was not of one length: 6 digits on 773 rows, 5 digits on 491 rows, and 3 digits on one row.
Licence class, as printed, was Class T3 on 1,058 rows, Class T2 on 205 rows and Class T1 on 2 rows. No class cell was blank. Status, as printed, was Renewed on 952 rows, Licence Collection on 292 rows and Licence Collected on 21 rows. “Licence Collection” and “Licence Collected” are official labels in this snapshot; this guide does not merge them.
Town typography was not consistent. 83 official town cells were blank, and one official cell was printed “(not set).” Among the filled cells that were not “(not set),” there were 327 unique official town strings. Nairobi appeared as “Nairobi” on 344 rows, “NAIROBI” on 178 rows and “nairobi” on 28 rows. The remaining official town strings are not listed here. All 1,265 expiry dates were filled: 120 rows expire in 2026 and 1,145 expire in 2027. The earliest official expiry in the snapshot was 12 November 2026, the same date as the count, and the latest was 16 December 2027.
This snapshot does not include a count of the solar-photovoltaic-contractor table on the same official page, and it is not a count of the electrical or energy-auditor registers. Do not treat a missing search result as proof that a later official row does not exist; search again on the live register.
How this sits with a solar contractor licence or an NCA check
Searching the EPRA solar PV technician register in Kenya tells you whether a person currently appears on the official solar-photovoltaic-technicians table. It does not tell you whether a firm holds an EPRA solar-photovoltaic contractor licence. That is a different official class, listed on a different table on the same Renewable Energy Registers page. It also does not tell you whether someone holds an EPRA electrician or electrical-worker licence. That is a different official class, covered in the published EPRA electrician licence guide.
It also does not tell you whether a building contractor is on the National Construction Authority register. That is a different official body, covered in the published NCA contractor check. A solar-photovoltaic technician licence, a solar-photovoltaic contractor licence and an NCA contractor registration are three different official questions.
What to do if the technician is missing
If the name or licence number you were given does not appear in the official table, check the exact spelling, try the official class filter, and look at more than the first page: this snapshot ran to 13 official pages. A later official row would supersede the 12 November 2026 count. If a certificate quotes a licence number with a different number of digits after the EPRA/SPVT/ prefix, search the live table anyway; official digit strings in this snapshot ran from three to six digits.
When you write, include the exact name as printed on the certificate, the licence number, the date you searched, and a copy of the document you were shown. The register answers a narrow question about the EPRA solar PV technician register in Kenya: is this person on the current official table? It does not, on its own, approve an installation or replace a contractor, electrician or NCA contractor check.
Frequently asked questions
Where is the official EPRA solar PV technician register in Kenya?
On the Renewable Energy Registers page at epra.go.ke/renewable-energy-registers, checked on 12 November 2026, under the official label “Solar Photovoltaic Technicians Register.” The official Download link opens the public licence-register table, which ran to 13 pages in this snapshot.
How many solar PV technicians are on the register?
On a count of all 13 official portal pages on 12 November 2026, there were 1,265 unique licence numbers and 1,254 unique names in the official Licencee Name column. 11 names each appeared on two official rows. A later official register would supersede those counts.
Is a solar PV technician the same as a solar PV contractor?
No. They are listed on two official tables on the same Renewable Energy Registers page. The technicians table is a person-level official register. The contractor table is a different official class for solar photovoltaic contractor firms.
Does this confirm an NCA contractor registration?
No. The EPRA solar PV technician register in Kenya is not the National Construction Authority contractor register. Use the published NCA contractor check when that question matters.
