FAQ
5kW Hybrid Solar Kit questions
Is this system fully off-grid or does it still need KPLC power?
It's a hybrid system -- it works alongside your existing grid connection, using solar and battery to offset consumption and provide backup, rather than replacing the grid connection entirely.
How long does the battery run essential loads during an outage?
Runtime depends on what's connected -- lighting, networking, gates and a few essential circuits can run for several hours on a 5kWh battery, but a full house load will drain it faster. A load assessment during the site survey gives an accurate estimate for your specific setup.
Is this kit the right size for my property?
It's sized for an average home or small office. Larger properties or higher-consumption sites may need a bigger kit -- Qyvea's free site survey includes a load assessment to confirm the right size before you buy.
Does Qyvea install this kit, or only sell it?
Both. Buy the kit alone for your own installer, or have Qyvea supply and install it as part of a full Solar Installation project including a load assessment and commissioning.
What does installation cost on top of the kit price?
Installation cost depends on roof type, panel mounting complexity and cable runs. Qyvea provides a free site survey and itemised installation quote alongside the kit price.
