What warranty is included with this solar kit?
When you buy this solar kit, you are covered by the full manufacturer warranties on each component. Plus, you’ll receive our lifetime customer and technical support.
Can I expand this system in the future?
Yes, you can easily add more solar panels and batteries. You can even stack another inverter if you need more output. Every area of this kit is expandable.
What solar panels are included with this kit?
You'll receive 200W monocrystalline solar panels from one of the leading brands in the solar industry. Backed by a minimum 25-Year power output warranty. We do our best to source all of our solar panels from North America, Mexico or Vietnam. Most popular brands we carry are Aptos, Phono, Mission and SolarEver.
How long will my battery bank last?
You'll be covered by a 10-year warranty on the lithium option and 5-year on AGM. The LFP batteries mea it's rated for up to 6,000 lifecycles (15+ years of daily use). To calculate daily run times, divide the total battery bank watt hours by your average load in watts to get rough hours of run time.
Can I install this system myself?
We've created the kits for absolute simplicity. That said, we highly recommend getting the help of a professional installer / certified electrician. You should plan on potential costs associated with this as well.
Can this kit handle a well-pump and/or other 240V appliances?
This kit comes standard with 120V output. So it cannot run 240V appliances the way it is. That said, you can add another inverter in the future to get 240V output.
What sort of solar panel racking is included?
We include pre-drilled frames on the solar panels along with standard z-brackets to make mounting the panels to the structure of your choosing as easy as possible. Most of our customers make their own racking systems using locally sourced UniStrut or add one of our ground racks to your order.
Can I use a generator or the grid to charge my battery bank if needed?
Absolutely. Your inverter comes ready to go with an AC input where you can hook up a stand by generator for charging the batteries on cloudy days or at night if needed. You can also use the grid as the AC input source if it's available.
Can I sell power back to the grid with this system?
No you cannot. However, most people who buy this kit are looking to gain power and grid independence and opt for storing or using any excess power they may have!
How big is all of this? How much space do I need?
The solar panels will come individually boxed and can be left inside or outside. All together you'll need a good corner of a garage or a spare bedroom worth of space for storing all of the equipment before installing it.
Where is this equipment made?
We do our best to source as much product from North America as possible. Our solar panels are USA, Mexico or Vietnam and most of our batteries and inverters are designed and assembled in the USA.
Do the batteries need to be inside or outside? Does it matter?
Lithium batteries like to be around the same temperature as humans. They also like a temperature controlled environment. So putting them in a garage that is 40F' in the morning and 110F' in the afternoon is NOT ideal. They'd prefer to be in a basement that sits somewhere around 60F-90F on a consistent basis. That said, lithium batteries can be used when below 32F' but not charged unless they are above 32F'
Do I need to buy anything else?
You'll have everything you need to get up and running with our kits. That said, you will want to plan on a trip to the hardware store to buy any necessary installation tools, ground rods and wire as well as UniStrut if needed for mounting the solar panels. Outside of this, you'll be getting all of the most important components in your kit!
