What is a 5kw Solar System?

A 5kW solar system is a solar array that can generate up to 5kW of power for your house at peak production. However, a 5kW system does not always reach its maximum energy-production threshold because solar irradiance is not always at its peak (above 1000 kW/m2) throughout the day. Knowing your area's Peak Sun Hours (PSH) will help you here.

How much power does a 5kw Solar System produce?

Generally, a 5kW solar system generates about 5,000 watts of Direct Current (DC) power. However, if you account for system losses incurred by the above variables, you could potentially decrease the efficiency of your solar panels by roughly 5%. How many panels does a 5kW solar kit contain?
