This list is a guide to what you might run in the course of a day, but can be swapped out to suit your needs, (within the daily Watt hour estimations). This estimate is based off the NZ winter average of 3 hours of sunlight per day (Summer averages about 7 hours). This doesn't account for situations in which you may have to cut back on your power use or supplement with a generator due to several days of poor weather preventing your battery bank from adequately recharging each day.

All Hardware Included
You’ll find everything you need to get your off-grid home set up and running with our solar power for homes kit which includes 12 solar panels, 12 batteries to store your solar energy, a hybrid inverter, and all the cables, crimp connections, circuit breakers, and mounting hardware.
We also offer the tools required if you wish to make any changes or alterations to the base kit, and a number of related accessories.
Feature Rich Equipment
We supply our Lifestyle Kit with the Growatt SPF 5kW ES Hybrid Inverter unit. The hybrid inverter allows you wire your solar power system into your household switchboard, and also supplement your energy usage with grid power or a generator.
Trina Perc Mono solar panels are our panel of choice. They use the latest technology to ensure their panels are as efficient as possible, meaning they produce 390W+ from a size where most panels only produce 270W at the best of times
All our Standard kits come with our 200Ah 12V battery, specifically designed for solar usage - no trickle charging needed. We are so confident in this battery we offer our warranty based on a 50% Depth of Discharge (DoD), while most companies only warranty a 20% DoD.
