In Zimbabwe, where a reliable power supply is a daily challenge, the 1kVA to 1.5kVA solar system has become the go-to choice for an affordable and effective load shedding solution.
It’s the perfect entry point for those looking to secure power for their essential appliances without the commitment of a large-scale system.
At Sona Solar Zimbabwe, we've designed our 1.5kVA package to deliver maximum reliability and performance, ensuring you stay productive and comfortable when the grid goes down. This guide explores everything this compact powerhouse can do for you.
A 1.5kVA inverter provides a continuous power output of approximately 1200 watts (1.2kW). This capacity is specifically designed to handle a range of low-power but essential household and office electronics.
Appliance | Verdict |
---|---|
Lighting & Charging | ✔ OK |
Entertainment (TV, Wi-Fi) | ✔ OK |
Work & Study (Laptops, PCs) | ✔ OK |
Refrigerators & Freezers | ❌ No |
High-Energy Kitchen Appliances | ❌ No |
Who is this System Best For?
This small solar system for home use is a strategic investment for anyone looking to solve specific, everyday power challenges without the cost of a full-scale installation.
Students & Renters
Power your laptop, lights, and Wi-Fi to keep studying and connected without interruption.
Home Offices
Ensure your work setup (laptops, monitors, internet) is always online and productive.
Small Households
Keep the lights on, watch TV, and charge all your essential gadgets during load shedding.
Our complete 1.5kVA package includes perfectly matched components designed for efficiency and longevity:
Component | Function & Benefit |
---|---|
Solar Panels (e.g., 2 x 435W Jinko) |
High-efficiency N-Type panels capture maximum sunlight, even on cloudy days, to charge your battery and power your home. |
1.2kW Inverter | This is the heart of the system, safely converting DC power from the battery into stable AC power for your appliances. |
100Ah Lithium Battery | This high-quality, maintenance-free battery stores the solar energy, ensuring you have reliable power at night or during an outage. |
Understanding the Limitations: When to Upgrade
The primary reason a 1.5kVA system cannot power appliances like fridges or pumps is due to **"startup surge."** These devices require a large burst of energy to start their motors, which exceeds the inverter's capacity. If your needs include refrigeration or other heavy loads, the next logical step is a 3.5kVA solar system, which is specifically designed to handle these higher demands.
