Above and beyond: 8kw Diy Solar Kit with String Inverters

This 8,000-watt kit can provide most homeowners with what they need to kick their energy bills to the curb. The average American household uses 920 kilowatt hours (kW) of power per month, though these systems can produce 500 to 1,400 kWh of AC power per month (assuming at least five sun hours per day). Actual power generated will vary based on location, equipment and installation factors.

You’ll need approximately 460 square feet of space for this kit. It’s a complete photovoltaic power system for home or business, with everything you need to get up and running.

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.
