An average-sized solar installation for homes

Residential solar installations may vary anywhere between 2kW to a monstrous 25kW, the latter of which may need 100 panels or more depending on one’s residential power needs. But what about the average home? How much electricity do they need?

For an average household, a 5kW solar system is more than sufficient. This is all the more popular because the 5kW solar panels do not take up as much space on the roof. In fact, most do not need a solar installation bigger than this.

How big is a 5kW solar system?

If you opt for PV panels that produce about 265 watts of power, you would need about 19 panels to generate the 5kW power. However, if you use high-efficiency premium panels, one’s that have a capacity of up to 300 watts, you can achieve that with only 17 panels.

How much does a 5kW solar system cost?

Worried about the 5kW solar system cost? Don’t be! The price of solar panels and their setup has decreased dramatically in the last 10 years. What once used to be prohibitively expensive, is now easily available and within everyone’s reach. In fact, if you are planning to have 5kW solar panels installed, you’d be pleased to know that the pricing for the same has lowered by about 60% since 2009.

As for how much money you can save from the 5kW solar system, depends on two main factors – how much energy the setup is generating depending on the location, and the electricity cost in your area/ town.

How much money will a 5kW solar system save?

The power generated by a 5kW solar system might not be enough to cancel out your home’s electricity because the situation is not very simple. Here is a set of real-world scenarios to let you understand the proportion of savings (all the values are not exact):

  • 1. Your home consumes all the power - It is very unlikely for a domestic home to use all the power generated by a 5kW system. Let’s suppose your home does consume because of several large appliances. In that case, you could approximately save $2000 a year and $10500 in five years.
  • 2. You export half of the total power - Considering the price of exported energy, you can save about $1500.
