3.87kW DIY Grid Tie Solar Kit for Battery Backup, Roof Mount

Description

Save on your electric bill, and have peace of mind during a power outage.

Get all the benefits of a grid tie solar system – lower your power bills, increase the value of your home, and generate clean, renewable energy – plus have backup power in the event of a utility outagem with our grid hybrid DIY solar kits. Want to protect against long-term outages? This kit will also allow you to add an automatic backup generator.

Our 3,870 Watt DIY grid tie solar kit for battery backup comes with the following components:

QTY 9: Silfab SIL-430 QD Solar Panel, all black, 430 watt

QTY 1: OutBack FP1-VFXR3648A-01 FlexPower Inverter System

QTY 1: MidNite Solar MNPV3 Combiner Box

QTY 3: MidNite Solar MNEPV20 Breakers

QTY 3: PV Cable with MC4 Connectors, 50′

QTY 1: Pair of 2/0 Inverter to Battery Cables, 10′

QTY 1: MidNite Solar MNSPD300-DC Surge Protector

QTY 1: IronRidge XR Flush Mount Racking Materials for 3 Rows of 3 Solar Panels in Portrait

This solar package also includes: NEC required PV system labels, a single line electrical diagram, and our standard design and installation support package.

IMPORTANT: This power system requires solar batteries, which are not included.

Because power storage requirements differ greatly, we have not included a solar battery bank in this grid hybrid solar kit. Instead, we will use the information you provide to calculate how much power storage you need to provide power for the number of days you want if there is insufficient solar production without you having to charge with a generator (days of autonomy).
