To preface, we could not have been more happier going with Expert Power’s 3240W l 10KWH solar kit. From the price range, the reliability of the components, and the seamless integration with my off-grid home, going with ExpertPower was one of the best decisions I have made.
The kit was purchased on during late February of 2024, and since we are located relatively near their facility, we decided to pick up the solar kit ourselves. Picking up the solar kit was an arduous process, as the panels themselves need proper security onto our pick-up truck for the long ride home. However, the ExpertPower employees went above and beyond with their service, spending hours assisting us with figuring out the best way to strap on the solar panels onto our pick-up; they meticulously made sure all connections were proper and tight to ensure the product safely arrives to our destination. We could not have asked for a better group of professionals to assist with the pick-up process, and truly thank them for the assistance they have provided to us.
For the product itself, the kit was to be used to provide electricity for a self-built home in an off-grid location. As one can tell, having access to electricity was a very big deal; running off the generator consistently is a massive toll on resources. ExpertPower provided a kit that was within an excellent price range, and for the quality that I was able to receive, it was able to change my lifestyle in different ways. As a person relatively new to DIY solar systems, be warned that there will still be a learning curve when properly setting up systems. However, ExpertPower streamlined the process by providing us with assistance when needed; their customer support provided us with plentiful resources such as wiring diagrams, accessory recommendations, and proper wiring practice/tips. The wiring diagram was professionally made, and was visually simple to follow, which allowed us to finish setting up the solar kit without much issue at all.
The main appliances that are running with this system are as follows: a refrigerator, stove, microwave, lights inside the home, charging for my power tools, and water heating. Although I am very conservative with power consumption, power generated from the solar kit enables me to use power in my home more liberally then ever. After a full day’s use, the battery capacity at most drops to 50% SOC, but gets fully charged the next day after. As of now, the generator I heavily relied on before, is used as emergency power, but for the meantime, it is there to mainly collect dust.
For the solar panels, we have decided to go with a custom-made ground mount for half of the panels that face the equator, the other half the panels are located on a sloped roof of the house. The quality of the solar panels is absolutely incredible for the price; they are workhorses and bare the grit of the elements in the mountains where I live, yet they constantly are able to bring my battery bank to full charge daily without fail. The panels produced an average of 13.7KWH per month so far, which is more than enough to charge my battery bank.
Thank you ExpertPower, for the amazing support you have given to me. As I plan on building a larger home for the future, I will contact ExpertPower once again for upgrades to a larger solar system.
