Need to know how to install for instance a 2kVa solar system? Here's what you need to know.

Step 1: Choose the Correct Inverter Size
This is the most critical part of the installation process for a 2kVa solar system. The inverter must be able to convert at least 2 kilowatts of power at any given time, or it will not work with your solar panels and battery. If you choose one that is too small, it will not get the job done, and if you choose one that is too big, it will be a waste of money because it will not be fully utilized.

Step 2: Pick out the Right Solar Panels
You need to make sure that your solar panels can generate enough energy to power all of the appliances in your home. There are several factors that go into this, but in general, if you are using more than 3 kilowatts per hour per day, you should choose panels with high wattage output. If you use less than 3 kilowatts per hour per day, then you can use lower wattage panels. For example, if you have a TV and computer in your living room that use 3 kilowatts each and run

1. For the 2kva solar system, you need a 1200 - 2000watt solar panel.

2. Next you need a charge controller

3. After that we connect batteries to the charge controller

4. Then we connect the inverter to the battery and charge controller

5. After that we connect the load to the inverter(fan,tv,etc)

6. Finally we connect the solar panel to the charge controller

You should note that this post contains the basic and not everything you should know about solar system installations. You need to understand related calculations as trial and error is not needed. Unnecessary errors can cost you your system and also endanger your life. You can follow subsequent posts on this topic, make enough research or get a specialist to install your system for you.
