Solar Kits
Solar kits come in various sizes and configurations to meet the unique energy needs of different homes and businesses.
That’s why we’ve compiled a range of kits designed to suit a variety of requirements and budgets.
Please note : "household/business" refers to the average household, and small-to-medium businesses - without big industrial machinery or machinery/appliances that require a lot of power to start/operate.
Small solar systems require management. The household/business cannot necessarily operate as normal during power outages and/or night time. Keep non-essential appliances & lights switched off when nobody is in the room. Converting geysers to solar geysers and stoves/ovens to gas, will help to drastically save on electricity costs/consumption.

TheSunPays BASIC KIT 1 includes a 6.2kW inverter (non-parallel capable), a 51.2V 100Ah (5.1kWh) Lithium battery, and four 550W Mono 16BB solar panels.
This kit is a great starting point for those aiming to go off-grid but need to build the system in stages due to budget constraints. The setup allows for future expansion with additional batteries to increase backup duration during nighttime or outages, and supports up to four extra solar panels for improved energy generation.
TheSunPays BASIC KIT 2 includes a 6.2kW inverter (non-parallel capable), a 51.2V 100Ah (5.1kWh) Lithium battery, and four 630W Mono 16BB solar panels.
This kit is a great starting point for those aiming to go off-grid but need to build the system in stages due to budget constraints. The setup allows for future expansion with additional batteries to increase backup duration during nighttime or outages, and supports up to four extra solar panels for improved energy generation. As opposed to BASIC KIT 1 that has 550W solar panels, this kit has 630W solar panels.
TheSunPays MEDIUM KIT is perfect for households with moderate energy needs looking to become grid-independent while saving on electricity costs. By adding more batteries, this setup can significantly reduce – or even eliminate – monthly power bills.
The kit includes:
- 1 × 6.2kW inverter (standalone unit, not parallel-capable)
- 1 × 51.2V 5.1kWh 100Ah wall-mounted Lithium battery
- 8 × 550W 16BB Mono solar panels (the maximum number this inverter can support)
TheSunPays LARGE KIT is tailored for households – or even small businesses – with higher energy demands. It's ideal for those aiming to go completely off-grid or achieve substantial savings on their electricity bills.
This kit includes:
- 1 × 10.2kW inverter (standalone unit, not parallel-capable)
- 2 × 51.2V 100Ah (5.1kWh) wall-mounted Lithium batteries
- 16 × 550W 16BB Mono solar panels (the maximum this inverter can handle)
Additional batteries can be added to extend power storage and nighttime usage, but the included solar panel array is already at the inverter’s limit.

Frequently asked questions
Which solar kit is right for me?
Use our solar system sizing calculator first. As a guide, the Basic kits suit people who want to start small and build the system in stages. The Medium kit suits households with moderate needs who want to become grid-independent. The Large kit suits bigger households or small businesses with higher demand.
What is the difference between Basic Kit 1 and Basic Kit 2?
Both have a 6.2kW inverter and a 5.1kWh lithium battery. Basic Kit 1 has four 550W panels and Basic Kit 2 has four 630W panels, so Kit 2 produces more power from the same space and inverter.
Can I add more batteries or panels later?
Yes. You can add batteries to any kit to run longer at night or during outages. The Basic kits can also take up to four extra panels. The Medium and Large kits already have the maximum number of panels their inverter supports.
Can a kit run my geyser and stove?
Usually not. Big heating loads like the geyser, stove, oven and tumble dryer would need a far larger system. They're normally left on Eskom, converted to a solar geyser or gas, or run on a separate circuit.
Do you deliver, and who supports the system?
We deliver nationwide from Rayton. Orders above R5,000 qualify for free delivery within 100km of Rayton, and shipping fees for other orders are shown at checkout. Our own South African technical team gives advice and support. Send us a list of what you want to run and we'll recommend a kit.
