2kW Solar System

2kw solar system

If you are looking for a smart energy solution for your RV or a boat, you can purchase a complete 2kW solar system for steady power supply. A grid-tie solar installation can also substantially lower your electric bills and eventually will pay for itself this way. At A1SolarStore we offer complete systems where all the components are already sized together.

How can you use a 2kW solar kit

There are three types of systems which are good for different circumstances. The most popular design is a grid-tie system. You use solar panels for the needs of your house but the commercial electricity remains available to you. You can sell excess solar energy to the utility: it’s called net metering. The utility gives you credits in return which you can use to pay your bills

Hybrid 2000 watt solar system is similar to a grid-tie one in a way that your house is still connected to the power grid. However, all grid-tie systems shut down during blackouts — it’s a safety requirement. A hybrid inverter, on the other hand, supports a battery which powers your home during power outages and helps avoiding peak electricity rates.

An off-grid installation is a great option when your house can not be connected to a commercial grid. Mobile solar installations, such as systems for RVs and boats, fall into the off-grid category as well. Off-grid systems always have batteries that help at night and on cloudy days. Keep in mind, however, that 2kw solar panel kit may not be able to power a medium-sized home on its own. You can expect it to produce around 6 to 12 kWh of power per day, depending on your location, weather and the efficiency of your panels.

2kw solar system cost

Panels, their brand and specifications play a big role in your system’s production and its cost. 2000 watts solar systems require 5-6 panels. Chinese companies offer the cheapest PV modules: look for brands like Jinko, Trina, JA, LONGi Solar who are the absolute leaders on the solar market. North American panels from brands like Silfab, Canadian Solar and Mission solar are slightly more expensive, but their quality is higher. You can also find premium-class panels for home installation from Panasonic, LG, REC. Their panels may cost a lot but they show great production levels.

The configuration and the way you want to install your panels is also going to impact the final 2kw solar system price. Ground-based systems are cheaper to build, but they occupy space in your yard or a field and they get dirty quicker. Grid-tie system is the cheapest option, besides net metering is the main way in which solar panel system brings you money. Hybrid system is slightly more expensive, but it sometimes pays for itself quicker because you can avoid peak utility rates. Off-grid systems are the most expensive because you always need energy storage with them.

Use incentives to your advantage

Since solar energy is clean, the American government and utilities encourage people to go solar and even offer financial help. You can offset the upfront 2kw solar system costs by applying for solar loans with a low interest rate. Every state has a different set of policies and incentives for solar energy. Don’t forget to apply for Federal Solar Tax Credit: in 2022 you can get back 26% of your system cost through taxes — that includes shipping and labor services. Consult with your installer about the incentives that are available to you.
