5kw Solar Power System for Home
Installing a 5kw solar system not only ensures that there is a supply of electricity at all times, but it also helps to protect the environment and produce green energy. It is a popular, economical and practical power generation system. It can basically meet the daily electricity needs of an average home, office with 4 to 6 people.
The system mainly has grid-connected, off-grid and hybrid systems. If the main use of electricity is during the daytime, you need to choose the grid-connected system. If you need electricity mainly at night, you need to choose the system with 5kWh, 10kWh or 15kWh batteries.

How Much kWh Power does a 5kw solar system produce?
A 5kW solar panel system can generate between 15kWh and 28kWh of electricity per day and between 470kWh and 850kWh per month, depending on the amount of annual solar radiation in the area where your system is installed and the difference in the amount of electricity generated by the panels in winter and summer.
You can refer to the image below to know the peak sunshine hours per day in your area to calculate the amount of power a 5kw system can generate in your area.
For example, if the area is 5.6kwh per day, then the 5kw can generate 5×5.6=28kWh per day.

5kw Solar System Size
The size of a 5kW solar system is 23.4m² (251.9ft²). This calculation is based on using 9 units of 550-watt solar panels, each with dimensions of 2279mm x 1134mm. If you choose smaller power solar panels, the required installation area would be slightly larger, since more panels would be needed to reach the same total power capacity.
5kw Solar System Price List
The price of 5kw solar system in roughly between 1200USD to 2800USD, with the fluctuation of raw material prices, our quotation will be adjusted. The cost mainly includes, PV panels, PV mounts, PV inverter, cables, batteries, etc. The on grid system is the lowest cost because it is without batteries. while off grid system and hybrid system are priced according to the capacity of the batteries you need.
| Model | Price |
|---|---|
| 5kw on grid solar system | Around 1200USD |
| 5kw off grid solar system | Around 2600USD |
| 5kw hybrid solar system | Around 2800USD |
5kw Solar System Installation
(1) Install the PV panels on the roof or the ground. (2) Connect 9 units 550watt PV modules in series to the PV inverter. (3) Connect the PV inverter to the batteries via DC cable and set up the communication. (4) Connect the AC output of the PV inverter to the household load and utility input. It is important to note that to ensure safety, PV installations need to be carried out by a professional installation company or with the help of an electrician.

5kw Solar System Load Capacity
The 5kw PV system can be used for various appliances with a total power consumption of up to 5kw, such as freezers, televisions, water heaters, drinking fountains, ironing boards, and more. It is important to note that if the appliance has a motor, the system can support up to a 4HP motor. This includes common household appliances like air conditioners, washing machines, electric fans, and others.
How to Optimize the Power Generation Efficiency of a 5KW Solar System?
Influencing factors:
1. Solar panel efficiency: Monocrystalline silicon solar panels typically have an efficiency of 18% to 22%, while polycrystalline silicon solar panels have an efficiency of 15% to 18%.
2. Installation angle: The optimal inclination angle is related to the local latitude, and it is generally recommended that the inclination angle be equal to latitude ± 10°.
3. Shadow occlusion: To avoid occlusion by trees, buildings, etc., use micro inverters or optimizers to reduce the impact of local shadows.
4. Temperature coefficient: The efficiency of solar panels decreases at high temperatures, so choose components with low temperature coefficients (such as -0.3%/℃ or below).
Optimization measures:
1. Use high-efficiency monocrystalline silicon solar panels.
2. Ensure optimal tilt angle and orientation during installation.
3. Regularly clean the solar panel to avoid dust and dirt affecting power generation efficiency.
Fault Diagnosis of 5KW Solar System
Common faults:
1. Decreased power generation: It may be caused by shading, equipment failure, or dust accumulation.
2. Inverter alarm: It may be caused by overload, overheating, or an abnormal power grid.
3. System shutdown: It may be caused by blown fuses, broken cables, or equipment damage.
Diagnostic method:
1. Use a monitoring system to view power generation data and equipment status.
2. Check cable connections, fuses, and equipment indicator lights.
3. Contact professionals for detailed inspection and maintenance.
5kw Solar Power System FAQ
The 5kw PV system is made up of 5kw PV panels plus 5kw PV inverter and other accessories like batteries, which allows remote areas to have uninterrupted power supply and also reduces the monthly electricity bill. It can be installed on the roof or on the ground, on the water surface.
A 5kw solar panel generates about 20kwh of electricity per day, saving you at least 15kwh per day on your electricity bill. In addition, the service life of PV panels is more than 30 years, so installing a system can save at least 160,000kWh of electricity.
A 5kw solar system can power up to 4HP air conditioners under ideal weather conditions, for example, four 1HP and two 2HP air conditioners. Also, a 1HP air conditioner equals about 1600btu~1800btu. However, this would depend on the specific energy efficiency of the units and how long they are used.
A 5kW solar system can power a house, but it depends on energy usage. It works well for average homes with moderate consumption but may need grid support for high-energy needs.
The number of solar panels needed for a 5kW solar system depends on the wattage of the panels used. Typically, A 5kw solar system consists of 9 units 550-watt solar panels or 12 units 400-watt. Commonly used solar panels are 550-watt, 450-watt, 300-watt.
Yes. A 5kW solar system is often sufficient for many households, especially those with moderate energy usage. It can cover daily needs like lighting, appliances, and some heating or cooling. However, it may fall short for very large homes or those with high energy demands.
Yes, we can help you design and customize a 4.8kw PV system.
1 or 2 units 10kWh batteries will be sufficient, if the power usage is higher at night this will require more batteries to be added. Calculate the capacity and number of backup batteries based on the night time usage.
