Put simply, a solar power kit contains solar panels, inverters and batteries, together with all the necessary accessories that you will need to install and use solar power.
It can be quite daunting when you know you need to start using solar power due to the current load shedding environment we find ourselves in, but you don’t know what to get or where to start. We will provide you the information you need to determine what you need when purchasing a solar power kit.
Solar Panels are probably one of the most detectable components of the solar power kit. Without solar panels, you will not be able to produce solar power for your home or office, making this component the most fundamental.
The next fundamental component of the solar power kit is an inverter. An inverter is the component which converts the energy which comes from solar panels and stores power into batteries, to convert this power into electricity for your home or office.
Batteries are another fundamental component of a solar power kit and are ideal if you require back-up power in the evenings when the sun goes down. The inverter batteries store power from the solar panels and inverters, to provide your home or office with the electricity you need for times where there is no sun.
There are different types of solar power kits that you can choose from which are determined based on what you require for your solar power set-up. You can choose from Off-Grid solar power kits, Hybrid solar power kits and 3 Phase solar power kits. There are also a wide variety of inverter sizes that you can choose from. The most popular inverter sizes are 5kW, 8 kW and 12kW.
Off-Grid Kits are ideal for homes in the middle of nowhere, with no grid supply. This is perfect for homes that have no other source of electricity, but the power that the solar power kit is producing. Off-Grid Inverters also work great where there are no Solar Panels.
This solar power kit ensures that you constantly have a seamless power supply, by blending power from the grid, solar panels and inverter batteries. The advantage of this kit is that the switch over is so fast, you won’t even know that there is load shedding. These solar power kits assist in ensuring you save money in the long run while they save you from wasting produced power supply. This kit is reliable, safe and quiet, making it the ideal kit to choose.
If you are looking for a solar power kit for your office, workshop or factory, this is most likely going to be the kit for you. With 3 phase supply, you will need a 3 phase inverter. Some homes in South Africa do have 3 Phase power, so you will need to be sure of your power supply before you choose the correct power kit option for you.
