Solar Kits — Pre-Configured Systems

Solar Kits — Pre-Configured Systems for Home, Cabin, and Off-Grid

5kW Starter Kit — Perfect for Grid-Tied Homes

Our 5kW starter kit is the ideal entry point for homeowners looking to reduce their electric bill and gain energy independence. The kit includes ten 500W monocrystalline solar panels, a Solis 5kW grid-tie inverter with dual MPPTs, a WiFi monitoring dongle, aluminum rail mounting hardware with L-feet and clamps, DC and AC disconnects, and 50 feet of MC4 PV cable. This kit produces approximately 6,500-7,500 kWh per year, enough to offset the average US home's electricity by 40-60%. The plug-and-play design is compatible with net metering programs and is eligible for the 30% federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC).

10kW Battery Backup Kit — Whole-Home Protection

For homeowners in areas with frequent grid outages or time-of-use pricing, our 10kW battery backup kit provides peace of mind and energy arbitrage. The kit includes twenty 500W bifacial solar panels, a Sol-Ark 12K hybrid inverter with integrated rapid shutdown and generator input, a SOK 48V 100Ah server rack battery (expandable to 400Ah), aluminum mounting hardware, disconnects, combiner boxes, and all necessary DC cabling. The 10kW array produces 13,000-15,000 kWh annually, while the 5-20 kWh battery bank provides 8-24 hours of whole-home backup during outages. The Sol-Ark inverter's time-of-use mode shifts solar energy to peak-rate periods, maximizing savings.

Off-Grid Cabin Kit — True Independence in the Wilderness

Our off-grid cabin kit is designed for remote locations where the grid is unavailable or prohibitively expensive to connect. The kit includes eight 500W panels, a Sol-Ark 8K hybrid inverter (or Sol-Ark 12K for larger loads), a 10kWh LiFePO4 battery bank, a backup generator auto-start interface, 30A MPPT charge controller, DC lighting and USB outlets, grounding equipment, and a complete wiring diagram. The system produces 3,500-4,500 kWh annually, sufficient for a small cabin with LED lighting, a refrigerator, a well pump, and occasional power tools. The generator auto-start ensures batteries stay charged during extended cloudy periods, and the EMP-hardened inverter protects against electromagnetic threats.
