New Delhi: With increasing heat, electricity consumption in homes also starts increasing rapidly. Due to excessive use of AC, cooler and other electronic appliances, electricity bill becomes heavy on people’s pockets every month. This is the reason why now a large number of people are planning to install solar systems for their homes.

Solar reduces electricity costs

Solar energy not only helps in reducing electricity expenses, but it also proves to be a profitable investment in the long run. However, most people have a question in their mind that how many kW solar system will be right for their home.

Actually, choosing the right solar system depends on the electricity consumption of the house. If the monthly electricity bill of your house comes to around Rs 2 thousand to Rs 3 thousand, then a 3kW solar system is considered suitable for you. This system can generate about 15 units of electricity daily and about 450 units in a month. Through this, you can easily run common appliances in the house like TV, fridge, fan, washing machine and an AC.

At the same time, for those houses whose electricity consumption is high and the bill is between Rs 4 thousand to Rs 8 thousand every month, a 5kW or 6kW solar system can be a better option. A 5kW system can produce about 750 units of electricity every month, while a 6kW system has the capacity to produce about 900 units of electricity. Such systems are considered very useful for large families and those who use more electronic devices.

Get solar installed as per your home

If your house is big and the electricity requirement is high then installing a solar system of 8kW or 10kW can be beneficial. An 8kW system can generate about 1200 units of electricity in a month, while a 10kW system is capable of generating about 1500 units of electricity. Such systems are ideal for households where multiple ACs and other heavy electrical appliances are used regularly.
