Choosing to invest in a solar system is one of the smartest decisions a Zimbabwean homeowner can make. 

It’s a decisive step towards energy independence and a future free from the frustrations of load shedding. However, once you decide to go solar, the next crucial question is: "What size system do I need?"

Considering Home Solar? Leekabod Breaks Down Basic Systems for You

As the country's leading solar experts, we at Leekabod Electronics know that the answer isn't always simple. The "kVA" rating of a system is the single most important factor determining what you can power. It's a measure of the inverter's capacity—its ability to handle a certain amount of electrical load at one time.

Let's break down the most common home solar system sizes to help you understand what each can do, and which one is the perfect fit for your lifestyle.

The 1kVA System: The "Essentials" Package

Think of the 1kVA system as your starter pack for energy independence. It's designed to keep the lights on and the essentials running during a power cut. It’s a robust and affordable entry point into the world of solar.

* What it can power: This system is perfect for running basic, low-power appliances. Typically, a 1kVA system can comfortably handle:
* Several LED lights
* A television and decoder
* A Wi-Fi router
* Charging laptops and mobile phones
* Who it's for: It's the ideal solution for small apartments, students, or homeowners who simply want to ensure they are never left in the dark and can stay connected and entertained during outages. It is not designed for heavy appliances like refrigerators, microwaves, or stoves.

The 3kVA System: The "Comfort" Solution

Stepping up to a 3kVA system offers a significant increase in capacity and comfort. This is where you move from just powering the basics to running more of your daily life on solar.

* What it can power: A 3kVA system can handle everything the 1kVA system can, plus some key high-consumption appliances:
* A modern, energy-efficient refrigerator or a small deep freezer
* Desktop computers
* Fans
* More lights and entertainment devices simultaneously
* Who it's for: This is a fantastic option for small to medium-sized families. It provides enough power to keep your food fresh, your home office running, and your family comfortable without having to meticulously manage your power usage.

The 5kVA System: The "Family Powerhouse"

The 5kVA system is the gold standard for residential solar in Zimbabwe, and for good reason. It’s a powerful, versatile solution that can comfortably run a standard family home. This is the point where you truly start to experience energy freedom.

* What it can power: With this capacity, you can run most of your household appliances, often simultaneously. This includes:
* Everything from the 1kVA and 3kVA systems
* A large fridge and a deep freezer
* A borehole pump or booster pump
* Washing machines (on a cold cycle)
* Microwaves, kettles, and other kitchen appliances (used one at a time)
* Who it's for: This is the perfect system for the average suburban family home. It provides ample power to cover daily needs and ensures that life continues with minimal disruption, making it the most popular choice for achieving near-total independence from the grid.

The 6.2kVA System: The "Premium Power" Solution

For those with larger homes, higher energy needs, or small business operations, the 6.2kVA system provides that extra muscle and peace of mind.

* What it can power: This robust system handles everything the 5kVA can, but with more power to spare. This means you can:
* Run multiple high-demand appliances at the same time.
* Power more demanding equipment like workshop tools or small office servers.
* Enjoy greater flexibility without worrying about overloading the system.
* Who it's for: Ideal for large households, homes with multiple fridges/freezers and pumps, or small business owners who need reliable, uninterrupted power to operate.
