What are the Different Types of Solar System?

The term “solar system” is very new in solar rooftop. A solar system means that when we combine the complete set of solar energy products then it becomes a solar system. It has categoried into 3 parts: one is solar system with battery, second is solar system without battery or government subsidy and the third is solar system with or without battery. Here, we are reading information about the 5kW solar system so this solar system is also available in 3 types.

How do these solar systems work?

In the above section we know about the simple definition of a different solar system in 5kW capacity. When you plan to install rooftop solar then you should be aware about working of the solar system also. Each solar system has pros and cons so you should choose very carefully. In short, we have mentioned below:

Option 1: Solar System with Battery: It is one type of solar system which has a storage system and it works with grid or without grid in both conditions. 

Pros: It works in both conditions (With grid or Without Grid)

Cons: It is quite expensive due to the battery bank. 

Option 2: Solar System with Subsidy: It is also known as Grid Connected Solar System which works with grid only. 

Pros: It saves electricity bills only and the cost of this system is lower compared to off grid solar systems.

Cons: It doesn’t work in power cuts or low voltage condition. 

Option 3: Hybrid Solar System: It is a combination of a stand alone system as well as grid connected solar system. It has a battery bank as well as net metering facility both.

What is the meaning of 5kW?

Generally, we measure power consumption of any electrical appliances in watt and volt. The formula of power is current * voltage. 1000 watts equal to 1kW or 1 Unit. That means when you plan to install a 5kW solar system then you have 5000 watt capacity of solar power. Now, the main question is how you should plan what 5kW solar system is worth for you? We have some recommendations for you such as:

Option 1: Check a sanctioned load on your current electricity bill. It may be a 3kW or 5kW electricity connection provided by the local electricity board. 

Option 2: Use any load calculator online and give details of each appliance. You will get an idea how much capacity of power consumption of your home and business. But, it is difficult process, so we don't recommend to follow this. 

Option 3: If you have a clamp meter, you can easily check maximum, minimum and average power consumption of your appliance. 

Option 4: If you don’t want to spend time, then we recommend you to book site surveys with us. Our engineer visits your installation location, he/she will measure all technical things.

How Many Appliances Can Run on 5kw Solar System?

This is a very common question about how many appliances can run on a 5kW solar system. A simple answer is you can run entire appliances of your home and business but in some scenarios this answer is wrong. How? Let’s understand… In the above section we understood the working of different types of solar system, so you should decide which solar system then you will be clear how many appliances you can run on this solar system. We give some solar system selection such as:

Case 1: If you choose a grid connected solar system, then you can run entire appliances on a 5kW rooftop solar plant because the string inverter of this solar system synchronizes directly with the national grid or electricity meter. There is no relation with power consumption. 

Case 2: If you choose a solar system with a battery bank, then you can run 80% - 95% load of 5kW solar inverter capacity i.e. 4,000 - 4,500 watt, but we recommend using 80% load of inverter capacity for better working. If you plan to install this solar system, we advise you to buy higher rating appliances such as Air Conditioner (5 Stars rating / Inverter AC), BLDC Fans, Sensor Bulbs, Power Saving Refrigerator, Coolers, and more.

How Many AC's Will Run On a 5kW Solar System?

The 5 KW solar system can power 1-2 air conditioners along with other household appliances. It can produce 25 units of electricity every day. 

How much installation area is required for 5kW rooftop solar installation?

As you know, solar panels generate electricity from sunlight that means you need a shadow free area for solar panels installation. Many consumers are able to install solar panels due to the shadow free area because they don’t have their own roof. But, some of the roof is eligible for solar panel installation such as independent homes, multi-floor buildings, flats, shops, schools, hotels, and more. This is the main reason why many people are not installing solar panels. the 5kW solar system has 9 to 10 solar pv modules and the size of a single 24 solar panel is 7.5 x 4 ft (28 sq.ft.). That means you need 280 sq. ft. shadow free area. An installation area should be optimized through choosing the right mounting structure. Now-a-days, a high rise structure is the most popular in the residential sector because homeowners are getting multi purpose use of it.

How Many Units does a 5kw Solar System Produce?

The 5 kw solar system can generate average of 25 to 30 units during a day and stores 15000 watt-hours of electricity to be used at night or in an emergency. Keep in mind 5kW solar system power production depends on various factors such as location, sunlight hours, and solar rooftop system efficiency.

How Much Will the Electricity Bill be Reduced after Installing the Solar System?

After installing the solar system your electricity bill will be reduced by up to 80% and it can also become zero.

How Many Solar Panels are Required for 5kW Solar System?

For a 5kW solar system, you'd need approx. 10 solar panels of “Shark 575 Watt| N type Topcon bifacial solar panel” which comes with new solar cell technology that means it has a higher efficiency to generate the power of 22.30%. Which has the highest power generating capacity till date. Keep in mind that the actual number of solar panels can vary depending on the specific solar panel’s efficiency, type, sunlight, and location in your area.
