5 KW off-grid solar system design case study

Background

An existing Ethiopian client needs an off-grid solar power generation system because the local power supply is unstable. The maximum load power is 4KW, and the average is 3KW. The load is 2 hours during the day and 4 hours at night. 

5 KW off-grid solar system configuration

Solar panel power: Daily electricity demand from the solar side ÷ local peak sunshine time 4*6÷4.5

Off-grid inverter power: Maximum load power ÷ 0.8

Battery capacity: Solar energy system demand during the non-peak sunshine time

Solar panels: 4500W

Off-grid inverter: 5KW48V - SUNNY 5KW Off-grid Solar Inverter

Battery capacity: Stacked LiFePO4 Deep Cycle Battery 6000 Cycles BAK IP65 51.2V 100/200/300/400Ah Or Stacked LiFePO4 Deep Cycle Battery 6000 Cycles CATL IP20 51.2V 100/200/300/400Ah

Key factors to choose a high-quality 5 KW off-grid solar system

Solar panels: Look for high-quality solar panels with a high-efficiency rating and a long warranty. Panels with a higher efficiency rating will produce more power per square foot, allowing you to get more power from a smaller installation area. Additionally, a long warranty will ensure that you’re protected if anything goes wrong with the panels.

Solar Inverter: The inverter is responsible for converting the DC power generated by the solar panels into AC power that can be used in your home. Look for a high-quality inverter with a high-efficiency rating and a long warranty. Additionally, consider whether the inverter is compatible with any backup power sources, such as a generator or battery bank.

Batteries: If you’re planning to store energy for use during times when the sun isn’t shining, you'll need a high-quality battery bank. Look for batteries that have a long lifespan, high efficiency, and a warranty that covers at least 5-10 years. Additionally, consider the capacity of the battery bank and whether it will provide enough energy to meet your needs.

Charge controller: The charge controller regulates the amount of power that goes into the battery bank, helping to prevent overcharging or undercharging. Look for a high-quality charge controller with a long warranty and a capacity that matches the size of your solar system.

Installation: Finally, consider the installation process and whether you'll need to hire a professional installer. A high-quality installer will ensure that your system is installed correctly and safely, helping to prevent any issues down the road. Additionally, consider whether the installer offers a warranty or guarantee for their work.

By considering these factors and doing your research, you can choose a high-quality 5 KW off-grid solar system that will provide reliable and efficient power for years to come.
