5.5kw Solar kit
Main Components
- 5 kW Hybrid Inverter
- Converts solar panel DC power into AC power for household appliances.
- Manages power flow between solar panels, battery, grid, and loads.
- Usually supports both solar charging and grid/generator backup.
- Solar Panels
- Usually 8–10 panels depending on panel wattage.
- Examples:
- 10 × 550 W panels = 5.5 kW array
- 8 × 650 W panels = 5.2 kW array
- Total solar generation capacity is around 5 kW.
- 5 kWh Lithium Battery
- Commonly a 48 V battery rated around 100 Ah.
- Stores excess solar energy for use at night or during outages.
- Usable energy is often 4.5–4.8 kWh because lithium batteries can safely discharge deeply.
- Mounting Structure
- Roof or ground mounting rails, brackets, and fasteners.
- Protection and Wiring
- DC isolators
- AC breakers
- Surge protection devices
- Solar cables and connectors (MC4)
- Battery cables
What Can a 5 kWh Battery Run?
A 5 kWh battery can provide approximately:
| Appliance | Power | Runtime (Approx.) |
|---|---|---|
| LED lights (10 bulbs) | 100 W | 45–50 hours |
| Refrigerator | 150 W average | 25–30 hours |
| TV + decoder | 120 W | 35–40 hours |
| Laptop | 60 W | 70–80 hours |
| 1 HP water pump | 750 W | 5–6 hours |
| Mixed household load | 500 W | 9–10 hours |
Actual runtime depends on battery discharge limits and appliance cycling.
Daily Energy Production
In a sunny areas, a 5 kW solar array can typically generate:
- 18–28 kWh per day under good conditions.
- More during dry sunny months, less during cloudy periods.
