Bye-Bye ZESA: A Guide to Off-Grid Solar Systems in Zimbabwe
With ZESA's power supply becoming increasingly unreliable, many Zimbabweans are turning to solar as a necessity. This guide explores the components, sizing, and considerations for going partially or fully off-grid with a reliable solar solution from Sona Solar Zimbabwe.
Anatomy of a Solar System
A standard solar installation includes several key components working together:
- Solar Panels: The engine of your system, responsible for harnessing sunlight and converting it into DC electrical energy.
- Hybrid Inverter: The brain, which converts DC power to usable AC power for your appliances and manages energy from the panels, batteries, and grid.
- Lithium Batteries: The heart, storing excess energy for use at night or during power cuts.
- Balance of System (BoS): All the essential accessories like cables, mounting hardware, and protection kits for a safe and efficient installation.
How to Size Your System
To properly size your system, you must understand your daily energy consumption. You can review past ZESA bills or use an online tool like the ZERA Energy Consumption Calculator. An average 3-bedroom home often requires a 5kVA system for essential loads, excluding power-hungry appliances like electric stoves and geysers.
Every home is different. At Sona Solar Zimbabwe, our technicians perform a detailed load assessment to design a system perfectly tailored to your appliances and budget. Our systems are modular, allowing you to start with a smaller setup and expand it later.
