Going solar doesn’t mean a huge field of solar panels or a house that is covered with PV modules. Sometimes all you need is a small solar power system. It won’t cost much, but still can help to lower your energy bills and therefore will pay for itself in a few years.
The average power capacity of the solar system in the US is 5-6 kW. Sometimes it covers up to 75% of electricity needs of a medium house. A system pays for itself in 7-8 years on average, though it happens faster in states with a lot of sunlight, like California. The main way in which a solar power system for small home pays for itself is through a net metering program. While panels power all the appliances in your home, you send the leftover solar energy into the grid where it can be used by someone else. Your utility in return provides you credits that can be used to pay your bills.
The aforementioned type of system is called grid-tie: you make use of your solar system, but stay connected to the commercial grid at the same time. Other configurations are called off-grid and hybrid. Off-grid design implies the usage of energy stored in batteries since you aren’t connected to the grid. A small solar power kit can be a great choice to make an off-grid system for RV or a boat. Hybrid system is a grid-tie system with batteries on which you can rely on in case of power outage in the grid. They are a good choice when uninterrupted power supply is important for you.
A grid-tie small solar power system kit includes solar panels (generally 10-25, since we are talking about small installations) and a standard string inverter. You can also go for microinverters: they are efficient, long-lasting and very easy to install, but they are a bit more expensive, and the possible maintenance can be a bit more problematic.
When we talk about mobile solar installations for trailers or boats, a small solar power system consists of only a few panels (for example, you can’t really fit more than 5-6 modules on your RV), house battery (sometimes your vehicle already has one), charge controller for the safety of your battery and an inverter if your appliance need direct current. This installation would be considered off-grid, so you’ll need an appropriate type of inverter.
We offer a variety of small solar power kits in which all the components are already sized together. Our customers find them much more convenient than picking solar panels themselves and then trying to calculate the size of the inverter or, possibly, the battery. You can use our solar calculator to design your own system. Enter your location, pick your solar panel of choice, choose the inverter and the tool tells you the area that your system will need, potential savings and an approximate small solar power system cost.
