Tell Me More

Akaroa 2 Bedroom Off-Grid Solar Kit set is the ideal System for people expecting to use an average of 6-8kWh/day and where the amount of load required is 4kVA continuous (30min) and up to 10.5kVA 5sec peak (values at 25°C).

It comes with a 3.64kW solar array and a 12KWh (11.4kWh usable) battery bank.

At the heart of this Off-Grid System is an inverter/charger that provides a central unit to monitor and control all aspects of the System.

The Inverter and Batties should be housed in a watertight shed or similar. AA Solar customise Solar Kit sets to suit your specific power needs and location.

How Much Power Will I Have?

Your System has eleven panels; the 3.64kW solar arrays' average days' power production will be between 7-8kWh in winter and up to 14-18kWh in summer.

Pro Tip: For year-round living, we highly recommend adding an auto-start generator. Provide backup power during periods when the weather is bad, and your total solar generation is not enough to cover your energy needs and keep your battery bank full.

What Can Be Powered?

All the power requirements of a typical tiny home with gas cooking and hot water. Provided the total power drawn at any one time does not exceed 3.5kVA continuous and 4KVA for 30 minutes.

All small appliances such as jugs, toasters, and microwaves create variable loads; please discuss planned usage with your trusted AA Solar Engineer. The key is to ensure they are not all used at once. Keep in mind that you have a total of 3.5kVA continuous, 4kVA for 30mins, and 10.5kVA for 5sec (values at 25°C) available.

Note: AC loads must stay within the inverter's limitations.
