A 3kVA Solar System is one of the most popular sized Residential Solar Systems in Zimbabwe.


A 3KVA Solar Power System will generate approximately 12 units of electricity (called kilowatt-hours or kWhs) per day. As mentioned, this is about 2/3 of the electricity usage of a modest Zimbabwean home.

At current pricing, you can expect to pay about $2,000.00USD for a good 3kVA Solar System installed on your roof. 

Is 3kVA of Solar System Enough for a Home in Zimbabwe?

The experts who deal in solar said that three kilowatts (kW) of a Solar Power System is enough for an average family of three to four people. But for a larger family or for running an AC at home, five to seven kilowatts of a solar system will be required. Back in 2014, a 1 kW solar system was sufficient for the efficient running of a home. But today given that inverter batteries are becoming more prevalent and popular, a 3kVA system is at least required.

A 3kW solar system will generate 12 to 15 units per day of power which lasts for 5 to 10 hours. A solar panel works 300 days a year. That means the 3kW Solar System generates an average of 3,600 units per annum.

This system has four major components — Solar Panels, Inverter, Battery, and balancing of the system, and will cost around $2000.00USD.

Home Load Calculation

The regular load of a home is generally approx. 300W at all times whereas the maximum load of a home is 2200W. A homeowner never runs all loads at the same time. If he installs a 3kW solar system, he can run up to 2.5kW load at the same time. The load calculation is mentioned below.

Home Appliances with Avg. Consumption:

  1. Water Motor - 700W to 1200W.
  2. Washing Machine - 300W
  3. Mixer & Juicer - 500W
  4. Iron Press - 1000W 
  5. Refrigerator - 200W 
  6. TV - 80W
  7. Ceiling Fans - 25W to 80W
  8. Lights - 10W to 20W 
  9. Laptop - 55W
  10. Appliances with Loads.
Similarly, a 5kW solar system will cost around $3000.00USD “The solar power system between 500W and 5KW is most in demand. For running an Inverter AC at home, at least a 3KW solar system will be required. 

Solar systems above 10KW are mostly installed in commercial spaces, such as Hospital, Schools, Hotel, Factory, Agriculture Water Pumping, etc.”, said the Loom Solar reseller.

Interestingly, the Solar Panels fitted on the rooftop face towards the south direction so as to get maximum sunshine. A number of Solar Products are also available in the market. These include home lighting solar systems for villages, shops, school projects, outdoor campaigns, etc.
