At Sona Solar Zimbabwe, we prioritize empowering individuals and businesses across Zimbabwe to harness the clean energy of the sun. 

A critical aspect of this journey involves selecting the ideal solar system size. With various system capacities available, ranging from 1kVA to 10kVA and beyond, navigating this decision requires a data-driven approach. 

This guide explores these common system sizes to equip you with the knowledge necessary to determine the optimal solution for your specific needs.

Understanding System Capacity:

  • kVA (Kilovolt-Ampere): This unit represents the apparent power of an alternating current (AC) electrical system. It reflects the combined effects of voltage and current, providing a clearer picture of a system's ability to handle electrical loads.

Exploring Common System Sizes:

While researching solar system capacities in Zimbabwe, we discovered common options ranging from 1kva to 10kva. Determining the ideal system size for your needs depends on several factors, including your average daily electricity consumption and budget.

Here at Sona Solar Zimbabwe, our team of solar specialists can conduct a thorough energy assessment to understand your specific requirements and recommend the optimal solar system capacity. We offer a comprehensive range of solar system sizes, from 1kva suitable for small applications to 10kva capable of powering larger homes or businesses.
  1. 1kVA Solar System: Primarily suited for off-grid applications with limited power demands. Ideal scenarios include powering essential appliances in remote locations or small irrigation systems. This size may not adequately meet the energy needs of a typical residence in Zimbabwe.
  2. 3kVA Solar System: A viable option for small to medium-sized households with moderate energy consumption. This system can comfortably power essential appliances like refrigerators, TVs, and lighting. However, it might struggle to handle high-consumption appliances like electric ovens or geysers.
  3. 5kVA Solar System: This size caters to average-sized homes with moderate to high energy usage. It can effectively power most appliances and potentially support electric hot water systems or pool pumps. However, a 5kVA system may not be suitable for very large homes with extensive energy requirements.
  4. 8kVA & 10kVA Solar Systems: Designed for large homes with significant energy demands or small businesses with moderate power needs. These systems can handle a substantial appliance load, including electric vehicle charging. Given the higher initial investment associated with these larger systems, a thorough energy audit is recommended to ensure the system capacity aligns perfectly with your requirements.

Factors Influencing Optimal System Size:

  1. Average Daily Energy Consumption: Evaluating your historical electricity bills or conducting a professional energy audit is crucial to determine your daily energy needs.
  2. Appliance Usage: Identifying the appliances you use regularly and their power consumption ratings allows for a more precise assessment.
  3. Future Plans: Consider potential future increases in energy usage due to planned appliance additions or lifestyle changes.
  4. Budget: Solar system size directly impacts the initial investment. Finding the right balance between system capacity and budget is essential.
  5. Battery Storage Requirements: If you desire backup power during grid outages, factoring in the necessary battery storage capacity alongside your system size is important.
