Frequently asked questions

How much solar do I need to work from home?

A 3kVA system with about 3kWh of lithium battery and four 600W panels covers a typical laptop, monitor, router, fan and lights setup.

Can I run a desktop computer on solar?

Yes. A desktop with a monitor uses about 150W to 400W depending on the model. Size the system a bit larger for gaming PCs.

Will a power cut drop my internet call?

Not with a hybrid inverter set to battery or solar mode. The switch-over is fast enough for laptops and routers.
