Our 5 kW solar systems come with a solar kit that produces at least 5kW (or 5,000 watts). This equates to approximately 245 to 465 kilowatt-hours (kWh) per month, depending on your system selection, location, and other factors.

Choose between a 5kW solar kit with inverter and a 5.7kW off grid kit. Consider hiring a local contractor or installing your own solar panel kit for even more savings!

Frequently Asked Questions About 5KW Solar System

How much power can I get from a 5kW solar system?
Variables such as weather, temperature, age of the system, and whether the panels are heavily soiled can all affect how much power a solar system can produce.

Typically, a 5kW solar system produces approximately 5,000 watts of direct current (DC) power. However, if you take into account the system losses caused by the variables above, you can reduce the efficiency of the solar panel by about 5%.

How many panels does a 5kW solar kit contain?
The number of solar panels required to produce 5 kilowatts of energy depends on the efficiency of the panels. Typically, you need about 20 panels

How much space do solar panels take up on my roof?
Hanse’s 5kW solar kit requires approximately 247 square feet of space.

Solar panels with microinverters allow you to place the panels in different positions, orientations and angles on the roof. If space is at a premium, this option will give you more flexibility.
