AE Connect: Solar Power
Size your residential solar power system
For reference, here's what a typical system in each size range usually contains. Then add your own appliances below to get your real result. The guide table doesn't pre-fill anything.
| System Size | Typical Household Profile (indicative) |
|---|---|
| 1 kVA – 2 kVA | Lighting, phone/laptop charging, TV, small essential loads |
| 3 kVA – 4 kVA | Above, plus refrigerator and general small appliances |
| 5 kVA – 6.5 kVA | Above, plus one inverter aircon and/or booster pump |
| 7 kVA – 9 kVA | Larger household, multiple aircons and/or a small borehole pump |
| 10 kVA – 12 kVA | Large households with heavy combined cooling, pumping and appliance load |
These are indicative sizes for common, standard residential setups, a guide only. Variations in topography, cable run lengths, appliance runtime and site conditions may change the correct size, in which case a dialogue with our team is recommended. Any residential system sized above 12 kVA automatically requires a site assessment.
Your Appliances
For each appliance you use, enter how many you have and how many hours a day you run them. We've suggested a typical power rating for each. Adjust it if you know your actual value.
