How much will a 10kW solar system save me？

How much electricity will a 10KW solar system generate for my home or it will save me? This is a directly question. But you need to consider three aspects to determine the amount of electricity generated and the cost savings of a 10KW solar system.

1. How much electricity can your 10KW solar system generate for you?

The amount of electricity produced by a solar system depends on many factors, such as peak light time, installation location, the efficiency of the selected solar panels, and so on.

2. The type of solar system you need to install ---- cost

Solar systems have three different working models, which are on grid systems, off grid systems and hybrid systems.

Different working modes, the selected inverter or energy storage battery is not the same, and the cost is also different.

3.The Charge of electricity rates in your city and the stability of the grid ---- revenue calculation

In order to control energy consumption, many countries implement time-of-use electricity prices, different electricity consumption time, electricity standards are not the same. At the same time, the instability of the power grid also brings a lot of inconvenience to the family electricity.

This article will discuss from these three aspects how much electricity a 10KW solar system can produce for your home each year and how much money it can save.

N0.1 Average annual power generation of 10KW solar system

The most important factor affecting the power generation of solar systems is the peak light time, the peak light time is different for each city, you can enter your nearest city in this wwww website to get your local peak light time.

Of course, the installation location also affects the power generation of the solar system. For example, roof installation has the lowest overall cost and the highest efficiency, but your roof may not have enough area and the right installation Angle. This is where you need to consider ground installation.

Compared with the roof installation, the advantage of the ground installation is that you can choose a more suitable installation Angle, and the maintenance in the future is easier, the disadvantage is that more installation brackets and space are required, and the cost is higher

Finally, different brands and sizes of photovoltaic panels, the cost and work efficiency is not the same. When you choose  photovoltaic panel suppliers, you need to make sure that they provide you with a trustworthy brand and A-class photovoltaic panels. There are a lot of unscrupulous suppliers in the market who will pretend to be good.

The working efficiency of solar panels is tested in a theoretical environment, and the working efficiency will not be so high in a real environment, while considering other influencing factors, such as occlusions, when we calculate the power generation of solar power generation systems. It's multiplied by a discount rate of 0.8.

For example, the peak light time in your city is 4 hours, and the annual power generation of a 10KW solar power system is 4hours *10KW*365DAY*0.8=11680KWH

N0.2 The type of the solar power system you choose.

On grid system 

It can only sell electrcity, not for family load use.

The cost is the lowest, there is no need to buy energy storage batteries, and the disadvantage is that it can not provide electricity for the home loads. Generally applicable to large-scale power generation projects.

Off grid system 

Self-use, can not sell excess power.

The cost is moderate and can power household loads. Energy storage batteries can also be connnected to store excess power during the day for use at night. The disadvantage is that you can't sell excess power

Hybrid system

The electricity generated by the solar system can either be used in the home or the excess power can be sold at a profit.

At a higher cost, you can power the household load, or you can sell excess electricity for a profit. However, inverters cost more and need to meet local certification requirements.

Summary: The choice of solar system is determined by your needs and cost. If local electricity prices are high, you can consider a hybrid system for extra profit. If you only want to save your home electricity demand or to reduce the cost of electricity bill, we recommend that you choose an off grid system. Because this is the most cost-effective system.

N0.3 Local electricity cost standard and power grid stability.

The electricity cost standard and the stability of the grid are important considerations when you choose a solar power generation system. Many countries are introducing time-of-use tariffs. At this time, you can consider setting up the solar system to charge when the price is lowest, sell excess electricity when the price is highest or use the energy stored in the energy storage battery to reduce electricity costs.

If you do not have a local power grid or the power grid is unstable, then both in terms of work efficiency and cost input, off grid system is your best choice.

Combined with the above three points, you can calculate how much electricity a 10KW solar system can generate for you each year, how much electricity can be sold, to calculate the income of the system for you in a year.
