Technical FAQs 4

Can a 3KW Solar System run a 55-gallon water heater?

A 3kW solar system is a popular choice for many homeowners looking to harness solar energy. If you install a 3kW solar power system, you can expect it to generate around 375 kWh or 12 kWh daily. That is enough energy to run a 55-gallon water heater with average household use but it couldn’t do anything else.

How much energy does a 3KW Solar System use?

Lights: A 3kW solar system can efficiently power all the lights in an average American home. This includes LED and CFL bulbs in various rooms. Let's say you have 10 LED bulbs, each using 10 watts. In total, that's 100 watts (0.1 kW). If you use them for 5 hours a day, it would be 0.1 kW x 5 hours = 0.5 kWh per day.

What can an 8kW Solar System run?

An 8kW solar system is a substantial investment in renewable energy. The expected 8kW solar system daily output would be close to 1,000 kWh per month or about 33 kWh daily.

What appliances can a 3KW Solar System run?

That is enough energy to run a 55-gallon water heater with average household use but it couldn’t do anything else. If you don’t need the water heater you could run a refrigerator, microwave, lights, fans, TV, laptop and still have enough left over to charge your cell phone. Let’s see what appliances a 3kW solar system can run:
