12kW Solar System

12kw solar system

Solar system is made of several parts which you have to size correctly for them to function well together. If you don’t want to spend time doing this or you are just afraid that you might get something wrong, you can order a complete 12kw solar system where all the components already fit together well. We offer systems of different designs for all applications, residential and commercial projects.

What is 12kw solar kit

The exact components of a solar kit depend on the configuration that you’ll choose. There are grid-tie, hybrid and off-grid systems and the parts of each 12 kw solar kit vary.

• Grid-tie system is the most popular option. Your house is connected to the grid, but you also use solar energy as well. You can either power your appliances with it or sell it into the grid. Grid-tie kits have panels and an inverter (or several microinverters).
• Hybrid system is like a grid-tied one but with a hybrid inverter. Hybrid 12kw solar systems don't shut down during power outages and the inverter switches your appliances to battery support. Hybrid kits have PV modules and a hybrid inverter. It also may have a standalone battery and a controller, but sometimes hybrid inverters already have built-in ones.
• Off-grid systems are good for houses in remote locations. You rely solely on solar power. Off-grid kits include PV modules, off-grid inverter, batteries and charge controller.

So how much power does a 12kw solar system produce? A lot depends on your location and number of sun hours in your area. Things like positioning and angle of your panels, weather and shading also impact the production of your system. You can get from 40 to 70 kWh per day from your 12 kw solar system. An inverter allows you to monitor the production of your installation. Keep in mind that panels produce around 50% more energy in summer than in winter.

12kw solar system cost

The panels that you’ll choose play a big role in your system’s production and its cost. Chinese companies offer the cheapest photovoltaic modules. Jinko, Trina, JA, LONGi Solar are the leaders on the world’s solar market. North American panels from brands like Silfab, Canadian Solar and Mission solar are slightly more expensive, but their quality is higher. The panels from Panasonic, LG, REC show great production levels and come with the best warranties but they do increase your final 12kw solar system price by a significant amount.

An inverter also impacts the cost of your project. For a grid-tie system a simple string inverter is the cheapest option, but shading can be a problem for it. Microinverters are more efficient, deal with shading better and last longer, but they are more expensive.

So how much does a 12kw solar system cost? Anywhere from $20,000 to $35,000, depending on the properties of your system, incentives that are available to you and the type of installation that you are going for. Don’t forget to claim Federal Solar Tax Credit — it allows you to reduce the costs by 26% in 2022.
