Great Entry-Level Option: 3kw Diy Solar Kit with String Inverters
This 3,000-watt string inverter kit serves as a great entry-level, budget-friendly option for ground sites that receive full sunlight (no shade or obstructions). It’s a complete photovoltaic power system that works for homes or businesses, and includes everything you need to get your system up and running.
This 3-kilowatt (kW) kit produces 200 to 550 kilowatt hours (kWh) alternating current (AC) power per month (assuming at least five sun hours per day with the solar array facing south) and requires just 184 square feet of space. The kilowatt hours generated monthly by this system could offset one-third of a medium user’s consumption, which may equal half of the user’s monthly energy costs.
When powered by full sunlight, string inverter systems are a cost-effective solution for home solar installations. An unobstructed south-facing view of the sun will maximize your solar power. If your system is partially shaded by trees, chimneys or other obstructions, the string inverter output will drop along with the output of the whole system.
Due to National Electrical Code standards, rapid shutdown systems are required. You can use this string inverter system on a rooftop if you purchase the additional rapid shutdown devices to make this system NEC-compliant.
