The 1.5kVA solar system is an entry-level solution designed for small homes, offices, and shops in Zimbabwe.

It provides reliable backup power for essential appliances during load shedding and helps reduce dependency on the national grid.

What Can a 1.5kVA Solar System Power?

A 1.5kVA solar system is ideal for basic power needs and can comfortably handle:

All household lighting.
Television and Wi-Fi router.
Laptop or desktop computer
Small gadgets (Phones, Tablets, Radios, etc.)
Small energy-efficient appliances like Fans.

This makes it perfect for students, small families, and home offices that require reliable power for essential devices.

Due to its limited capacity, a 1.5kVA solar system cannot support heavy appliances such as:

Fridges and Freezers.
Microwaves, Kettles, or Irons.
Washing Machines or Pumps.
Air conditioners or Heaters.

This means the system is best used as a backup for low-power essential appliances only.
