5kW Solar System Price and Details for home in India
A 5kW solar system is bestselling medium capacity solar system whose popularity is increasing day by day. Its universal acceptance assures you that it is an excellent choice for 2BHK, 3BHK & other medium size houses including small commercial buildings, retail outlets and stores. This capacity solar system is more than enough to run heavy loads such as solar air conditioner, refrigerators, etc.
5kW solar systems are available in three categories 1st On grid solar system, 2nd Off grid solar system, & 3rd Hybrid solar system. The prices of 5kW solar system depends on its type and brand which we will see in upcoming section.Tata Solar, Havells Solar, Luminous Solar, etc. are the major brands in the solar field.
If you want to learn more about the above mention types of 5kW solar system, it’s worth spending 10 minutes reading the information and selecting the best solar system.
The cost of a 5kW solar system has recently changed. The price of solar system measured in per watt and 5kW solar system price starts from Rs.46.45 to Rs.76.80 per watt depending on types of solar system.
Due to continuous innovations and growth in the field of solar, today we have 3 different types of solar system. All these types of 5kW solar system is mention below.
You can now easily convert your standard/existing inverter into a solar inverter. If you already have an inverter in your home, converting it to a solar inverter can significantly reduce the cost of the solar system.
All you need to do is install a small solar device known as a “Solar Conversion Kit,” as well as “Solar Panels”. This solar conversion kit, also known as a solar charge controller; will transform your existing inverter-battery system into a solar system.
A 5kW solar conversion kit comes with solar panels, solar SMU (Solar Management Unit), and other solar accessories. We have mentioned the specifications of all these components below.
Fasteners, Cable Tie , Crimping Tool, Earthing Kit, Lighting Arrestor
#4. On-Grid 5kW Solar System
An on-grid solar system is a system that ties with the utility grid. This type of solar system is recommended for those who are suffering from heavy electricity bills on regular basis. If the electricity generation by this system exceeds your daily electricity consumption than the excess electricity can be exported to the government via net-metering. You can see the working ofon grid solar system below.
An off-grid solar system is a battery-based system. With this system, you can store excess or unconsumed electricity in the solar batteries.A 5kW off-grid solar system is more than enough to fulfil the daily electrical needs of a small to medium size house. The detailed specifications of this capacity off-grid solar system can be seen below.
Junction Box, AC & DC Cable, Fasteners, Cable Tie, Crimping Tool, Earthing Kit, Lighting Arrestor

#6. Hybrid 5kW Solar System
A hybrid solar system is a combination of both above mentioned types of solar systems. It has solar batteries and can also be connected to the utility grid. You can store the excess electricity in these solar batteries and also can export to the government. So if you want to enjoy both these features in a single solar system, you can install a 5kW hybrid solar system.
Recommended Load And Power Backup with 5kW Hybrid Solar System
We have mentioned some load recommendations/combinations, as well as the battery backup, to give you an idea of what you can run on a 5kW hybrid solar system.
There is up to 40% subsidy on solarfor hybrid & on-grid solar systems. No subsidy is available for off-grid solar systems.
You will get the delivery within 3 days from the date of order & installation within 3 days from the date of delivery.
#7. 5kW Luminous Solar System
5kW Luminous Solar System is a complete solar setup with high efficiency solar panels, 5.5kVA Luminous solar inverter and solar batteries. It’s an off-grid solar system that will provide you long power backups during an event of blackout. You can see the complete specifications of Luminous 5kW solar system below.
We have installed 100+ 5kW on-grid solar systems in all over India. Those who have joined us to adopt solar energy are now availing the benefits of solar energy without any worries. Here is a real image of a 5kW On-Grid Solar System, installed at sector-47, Gurgaon.
#8. Subsidy on 5kW Solar System
The government of India is providing subsidy on solar in order to promote green and clean energy everywhere. Subsidy rates may differ depending on your state’s solar policies. In general, you can get up to 40% subsidy (depending on your installation purpose) on 5kW on grid and 5kW hybrid (no batteries) solar systems.
“We recommend you to go for on-grid solar system (Subject to Low Power Cuts), because 5kW on grid system is less expensive and 40% subsidy is also available on the same. But if you are facing power cut problem for more than 2 hours, than go for off grid solar system or hybrid solar system.”
For installing 5 kilowatt solar system, 500 square feet of shadow-free space is required. You can install a solar system either on your rooftop or on the ground.
If you are running all these appliances on 5kW PV solar system then the batteries will provide you a backup of at least 11 to 12 hours.
t if you want to install a solar system for your home then an off-grid solar system will be suitable for you. On nights and cloudy days, it provides you backup.
In a 5 kilowatt solar system, you should install at least 5kVA capacity solar inverter. To operate a 5kw capacity solar system, the inverter should not be less than 5KVA capacity.
Yes, it is possible to convert an on grid solar system into an off grid solar system. You just need to attach solar batteries to your existing on-grid solar system.
