In this section of our website, you can take a look at small solar kits that are only up to a few kilowatts in size. You can request the assistance of our engineer and get advice on what kind of kit is best for your needs.
Small solar power kit: Where to use
A small solar panel kit can be used in various applications where a limited amount of power is required. Here are a few examples:
Camping or RVs: Small solar power kits are popular among campers and RV owners. They can be used to charge batteries for lighting, run small appliances like fans or radios, or charge electronic devices such as phones and tablets while enjoying outdoor activities.
Off-grid cabins or remote locations: If you have a cabin or a remote location without access to the electrical grid, a small solar panel kit can provide a reliable source of power. It can be used to power lights, small appliances, pumps, or other low-power devices.
Emergency or backup power: Small solar panel kits can be handy during emergencies or power outages. They can power essential devices like lights, radios, cell phones, or small medical equipment when the grid power is unavailable.
Garden lighting or outdoor decorations: Solar panel kits with small panels and built-in batteries are commonly used for outdoor lighting in gardens, pathways, or as decorative elements. They charge during the day and provide illumination at night, eliminating the need for wiring or electricity consumption.
Educational or experimental purposes: Small solar panel kits are also used in educational settings, allowing students to learn about solar energy and experiment with generating electricity. They are often used in science projects, school labs, or renewable energy workshops.
Small solar panel kit: Cost
Small kits are considerably cheaper than your average home solar bundles. Since a small kit only has a few panels and a mini inverter, the expenses are going to be small. The small solar panel kit price is going to depend on the size, the brand of panels that you’ll choose, and the exact components.
An off-grid bundle is going to be more expensive because of how expensive energy storage is. A small solar panel kit with battery is going to be about 50% more expensive than a kit without one.
Keep in mind that however small your kit is, you are still eligible for the Federal Solar Tax Credit incentive as long as you prove that the solar system is designed for your home or second home in case of a boat or an RV. The incentive allows you to deduct 30% of a small solar energy kit’s cost from income taxes.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I choose the right system size?
Your utility bills contain the energy consumption data for your home. All you need to do is divide the daily figure by the number of peak sun hours in your area. The result will be a gross estimate of a system size needed to offset 100% of your energy needs. Please refer to our article on sizing solar panel systems for more detailed instructions.
How do I know if a system is good for my house?
You can browse through our catalog and pick a system with desired power output and functionality. Our engineer with 20+ years of experience will adapt it based on the information you provide. He will take into account your location, roof pitch, house orientation and other factors. You don’t need to know a single thing about solar – we will support you at every stage.
Which system (grid-tie, off-grid or hybrid) will work for me the best?
It is impossible to give a good recommendation without knowing any details, but we can share the general principles. A grid-tie system is the standard choice: it is the most affordable and lets you take advantage of net metering. You need an off-grid system if the grid is unavailable or full independence is desired. A hybrid system is a mix of the two, performing equally well with and without a grid connection. You can find a more nuanced take on the difference among the three types in our article.
Does a solar system include all that is needed for installation?
Yes, our systems include absolutely all components. You won’t need to buy any extra parts to install it and start generating power.
Will you install the solar panel system for me?
Currently we do not provide installation services. You will need to contact an independent solar installer.
Do you offer a warranty for your solar panel systems?
All components of our systems come with a manufacturer’s warranty. We also stand behind the work of our engineers who configure the systems and guarantee full compatibility.
How can I get my system?
We work with the top freight carriers like XPO, FedEx, ODFL, R&L, etc. We also offer a free pickup option so that our clients could get the equipment cheaper and faster. Note that pickup is dependent on the availability of equipment in our fulfillment centers, and may not be feasible in your location.
Do deliveries of solar panel systems take longer?
We deliver our systems as fast as the rest of our equipment. Typically it takes 5 to 7 days.
Do you have all the displayed systems in stock?
Yes, we offer full transparency and update the availability of items in real time.
What is the benefit of buying a solar panel system compared to buying all the equipment element by element?
Our systems are configured by an engineer with more than 20 years of experience. We will adapt the kit to your conditions and ensure compatibility.
Does a solar panel system come with a plan or a manual?
The equipment manufacturers normally provide user manuals for their products. These can be accessed via our website or the official websites of the respective manufacturers. Aside from that, we do not provide any other materials, but we're ready to consult you along the way.
