Technical FAQs 4

How much does a 1kW Solar System cost?

The surplus energy can be fed back into the grid, earning you a 20% return on your investment per year based on current electricity costs. The typical cost of a 1kW solar system is around $2,000. However, it’s important to note that the prices of solar panels have come down substantially over the past 10 years.

Can a 1kW solar system save you money?

One of the major advantages of installing a 1kW solar system is the potential for long-term savings on electricity bills. On average, a 1kW solar system can save homeowners up to $310 per year. Over the 25-year lifespan of the solar panels, this translates to a total savings of $7,756. If playback doesn't begin shortly, try restarting your device.

How much space does a 1kW Solar System need?

Since each solar panel has a footprint of 17 square feet, and you will need at least 3 panels for a 1kW system, the total footprint of the system will be approximately 57 square feet. It is important to consider available rooftop space when planning the installation of your solar system. How Many kWh Does a 1kW Solar System Produce? (Load Per Day)

How many kWh can a 1kW Solar System produce?

(Load Per Day) On average, a 1kW solar system can produce approximately 5 kWh per day. This estimate assumes that the panels receive a minimum of 5 hours of direct sunlight. Over the course of a month, this translates to approximately 150 kWh, and over a year, the system can generate around 1825 kWh.
