Solar panel kits for hybrid, off-grid and grid-tie systems
Matched solar panels, inverter, cables and protection in one package. Hybrid and off-grid kits include the listed battery; the 30 kW grid-tie kit does not. Pick your grid type and system size, then compare the available builds.
These are standard configurations for an initial comparison. Published price ranges appear where available; final components, site-specific sizing and price are confirmed in your quotation.
Grid first
Choose 230 V single-phase, 120/240 V split-phase or 400 V three-phase. The inverter is set for your grid before it ships.
Two versions
Premium uses Deye. Value uses MUST and costs less, but does not export to the grid.
FOB, CFR or CIF
30% deposit, 70% before loading. Batteries ship with UN38.3 and MSDS.
Which solar kit fits your home or business?
Start from how much electricity you use in a day, then check the battery covers the hours you need at night if you choose a battery kit. Daily output below assumes 4.5 peak-sun hours and an 80% overall system factor; actual output depends on the site and season.
| Kit | Solar array | About per day | Battery | Grid |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3.6 kW + 5 kWh | 3.5 kWp | 13 kWh | 5.1 kWh | 230 V single-phase |
| 5 kW + 5 kWh | 5.8 kWp | 21 kWh | 5.1 kWh | 230 V single-phase |
| 8 kW + 10 kWh | 9.3 kWp | 33 kWh | 10.2 kWh | 230 V single-phase |
| 8 kW + 15 kWh | 8.1 kWp | 29 kWh | 15.4 kWh | 120/240 V split-phase |
| 12 kW + 20 kWh | 11.6 kWp | 42 kWh | 20.5 kWh | 120/240 V split-phase |
| 16 kW + 30 kWh | 16.2 kWp | 58 kWh | 30.7 kWh | 120/240 V split-phase |
| 12 kW 3-phase + 20 kWh | 12.4 kWp | 45 kWh | 20.5 kWh | 400 V three-phase |
| 30 kW 3-phase on-grid | 39.7 kWp | 143 kWh | None (grid-tie) | 400 V three-phase |

Grid-tie, off-grid or hybrid solar system?
| Grid-tie | Off-grid | Hybrid | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Battery | No | Yes | Yes |
| Works in a power cut | No | Yes | Yes |
| Needs a grid connection | Yes | No | Optional |
| Generator back-up | No | Yes | Yes |
| Best for | Cutting the daytime bill | Remote sites, farms, weak grids | Homes and shops with outages |
| Our kits | 30 kW three-phase | Value builds, and every kit with a battery | Premium Deye builds |
Single-phase 230 V kits
The most common home and small-business supply outside the Americas.
Used in: West, East and Southern Africa; Middle East and the Gulf; South Asia, including Pakistan and Bangladesh; Southeast Asia, including the Philippines; Pacific islands.
Per kit, FOB Xiamen. Lower end for full-container orders. Final price depends on quantity and module prices at order.
Split-phase 120/240 V kits
The North American style of home supply: two 120 V legs, 240 V between them for large loads.
Used in: The Caribbean, including Puerto Rico and the Bahamas; Central America, including Belize; Parts of South America that use 120/240 V; Off-grid sites in the USA and Canada.
Three-phase 400 V kits
For sites with a three-phase supply and larger loads such as pumps, compressors and air conditioning.
Used in: Shops, farms, schools and small factories in Africa and the Middle East; Commercial roofs in South America, including Argentina; Commercial sites in Asia and Europe.
Premium or Value
The biggest difference is how the inverter works with the grid. If you want to feed the grid, limit export, or need a brand your installer already knows, choose Premium. If the site is off-grid or the grid is weak and price comes first, Value does the job for less.
| Premium | Value | |
|---|---|---|
| Inverter | Deye (Growatt on request) | MUST (Infinisolar) |
| Battery | Deye low-voltage LiFePO4 | MUST LiFePO4, 51.2 V |
| Works with the grid | Hybrid: works with the grid, a generator and the battery. Export to the grid can be limited or set to zero. | Off-grid: charges from solar, the grid or a generator. It does not send power to the grid. |
| Monitoring | Wi-Fi logger and app included with the inverter. | Wi-Fi module optional. |
| After-sales | Large brand with service partners in many countries. Serial numbers can be checked with the maker. | Spare boards shipped from the factory; the maker also has a branch in Panama. |
| Best for | Grid-connected homes and businesses that want backup, export control and a well-known brand. | Off-grid or weak-grid sites where price matters most and export is not needed. |
| Sizes | All kits | Single-phase and split-phase up to 12 kW |

Frequently asked questions
What is included in a solar panel kit?
Each kit includes matched solar panels, an inverter, cables, connectors and DC and AC protection. Hybrid and off-grid kits include the listed battery; our 30 kW grid-tie kit has no battery. Roof or ground mounting is quoted separately because sites differ. Final cable lengths and protection ratings are confirmed for your site before supply.
What is the difference between grid-tie, off-grid and hybrid solar kits?
A grid-tie kit has no battery and only works while the grid is on; it cuts the daytime bill. An off-grid kit runs from solar and battery with no grid connection, usually with a generator as back-up. A hybrid kit does both: it uses the grid when it is there, keeps the lights on from the battery during an outage, and can limit or stop export. Our 30 kW kit is grid-tie; all our kits with a battery can run off-grid.
Which kit do I need for my country?
Start with your grid, not the power. Most of Africa, the Middle East and Asia use 230 V single-phase at home. The Caribbean and Central America mostly use 120/240 V split-phase. Shops, farms and factories with larger motors often have 400 V three-phase. Pick the group that matches your supply, then the size.
What is the difference between Premium and Value kits?
Premium kits use a Deye hybrid inverter and Deye battery. They work with the grid, can limit or stop export, and include app monitoring. Value kits use a MUST (Infinisolar) off-grid inverter and MUST battery. They charge from solar, the grid or a generator but do not send power back to the grid, and they cost less.
How much does a solar system for a home cost?
Our 230 V Premium kits are USD 2,500–3,000 for 3.6 kW with a 5 kWh battery, USD 3,000–3,500 for 5 kW, and USD 4,500–5,000 for 8 kW with 10 kWh, per kit, FOB Xiamen. The lower end is for full-container orders. The final price depends on quantity and module prices at order, so send your quantity and port for an exact figure.
Do you ship CIF to my port?
Yes. We quote FOB Xiamen or Ningbo as standard, and CFR or CIF to your port on request. Payment is 30% deposit and 70% before loading.
Can I install a solar panel kit myself?
Installation requirements depend on your location and utility. Have a qualified solar installer or electrician confirm the mounting, wiring, protection, testing and any grid connection, and check local permit and approval rules before installation.
Do you sell wholesale solar kits to installers and distributors?
Yes. Installers and distributors buy the same standard kits in mixed or repeat orders, so every system on their books uses the same parts. Tell us the sizes and quantities and we quote each kit, with the price falling as the order fills a container.
Is roof mounting included?
Not in the standard kit, because roofs differ. Send photos or the roof type (metal sheet, tile or concrete) and we quote the right mounting as a separate line.
