ABOUT THE 5KW SYSTEM

Build your
Home with the 5kW Solar System

The 5kW system is easily one of the most popular sizes in Australia thanks to substantial energy yields and great value for money.

For homes with smaller families and facilities operated by small businesses, a 5kW system may be the ideal choice. With the 5kW solar power system, there’s just enough power to cover your smaller energy needs. It also has a lower upfront cost compared to a 6.6KW system, making it more affordable for homeowners on a tighter budget. Perhaps the most appealing benefit of 5kW solar power systems is the faster return on investment due to its lower costs while guaranteeing sufficient energy production.

Why Choose
the 5kw Solar Panel System for Your Home

Households comprising small families or very small businesses can find a 5kW solar power system more than sufficient to meet their energy needs. This power system is also ideal for those with a tighter budget and limited roof space. Once you have confirmed that a 5kW system is the right size for your home or office, the assessment and installation procedure should be seamless from our end. 

A 5kW system is the perfect starter setup for most residential uses, as well as a commercial space with only a few employees. With lower energy requirements, there is enough power to cover most of your home or business’ consumption. If you’re unsure about your needs in the future, you can just opt to upgrade. Starting with a smaller system might even be considered strategic if you’re thinking about monitoring your usage. 

If you’re still unsure, you can contact our team so we can provide a more personalised recommendation that will fit your needs, preferences, and budget.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions about Solar Power Systems

How many panels in a 5kW solar system?

The number of panels you will need for your solar power system depends on your chosen size and the wattage offered. With a 5 kW solar system, approximately 15-20 panels will be installed. Volteam’s 5kW system, however, offers 440w panels, lowering the number of solar panels you need to 12. There should be sufficient roof space (roughly 25-35 square metres) to accommodate the number of panels your solar system comprises. 

How much will a 5kW solar system save me?

More than offering environmental benefits, investing in a solar system is financially beneficial. While upfront costs can be high, a solar power system is expected to pay for itself within three to five years. But how much will a 5 kW solar system save consumers? Annually, consumers can save around $2,000 on reduced electricity bills. 

Factors like solar battery storage, the number of sunlight hours where you live, feed-in tariffs, and your current electricity usage are taken into consideration when calculating your potential annual solar savings. 

How big is a 5kW solar system?

A present-day 5 kW solar system will consist of between 15-20 panels, accommodating roof space of approximately 25-35 square metres. It is big enough to power average households with up to five members. 

How many amps does a 5kW solar system produce?

A 5 kW solar system will produce approximately 20.83 amps provided the conditions are ideal for harnessing solar energy. This is assuming a voltage of 240V (5000 watts / 240 volts = 20.83 amps), which is standard for residential applications in Australia. It’s worth noting that the actual current may vary depending on factors such as voltage and efficiency of the solar panels.

How many appliances can run on a 5kW solar system?

A 5 kW solar power system is ideal for medium to large families consisting of up to five members. An average-size household using appliances such as a refrigerator, multiple televisions and air conditioners, a washing machine and dryer, and a dishwasher will find a 5kW system more than sufficient. 

Moreover, using energy-efficient appliances will help maximise your solar’s efficiency. However, you may need to be cautious when using appliances with higher power usage at the same time to avoid exceeding your system’s energy output.
