The loads listed use about 4.5 kWh a day. The battery bank is 4 × Fullriver DC260, giving 12V and 1040Ah (12.5 kWh stored), so a normal day uses around half of it or less, which is what keeps deep-cycle batteries healthy for years. The inverter is rated 3000W continuous, with surge headroom for the motors on this kit's list to start. This kit is 12V because its 3,000W inverter-charger, with the solar inputs built in, is a 12V unit; four DC260 batteries in parallel give it the 1,040Ah it needs. It asks for less solar than the Family Home Kit because the grid or a generator carries the air-con on rainy weeks.
Small kits are simple to fit with our wiring guidance. Anything connected to house wiring should be connected by a licensed electrician. For large battery banks, our team can deliver and install the bank for you.
Yes. Add batteries of the same model while the bank is still young, and add panels up to what the charge controller can take. Tell us what you'd like to add and we'll check it fits.
The Resort Villa Kit is sized for a 9,000 BTU inverter air-con for a few hours each evening. The other kits are sized for lights, fans, a fridge and everyday appliances. For air-con, the finder will size a system around it.

Fullriver deep-cycle batteries last longest when used to about half each day and kept in a shaded, ventilated place. Our kits are sized to do exactly that.
